I did not read all of this and perhaps it's already been said ... Lazy people annoy me. The type that just sit around and do nothing and find it a real chore to get up to make a sandwich or ask somebody to doit for them

People who join TBN, make one post asking about their problem, get good answers and are never heard from again. Lazy and rude.

Agreed. Three winners here.

I have to chuckle when I see folks wait until they have walked a short distance after parking their cars in a lot and hit the lock button on their key fobs (sounding the horn)...when all they needed to do is touch the button before they close the door...

My mother's advice was to ALWAYS lock the car door with the key, providing a level of certainty that the key was in your hand before locking the door.

Inconsiderate people bug me. Like when I am happily cruising down our country road doing the limit (OK, I confess, sometimes a little more) and someone on a side road, pulls up to the stop, reads War and Peace and just before I get to the intersection pulls out in front of me. And pokes along, accelerating like a Model T and decides that 45 in a 55 is just fine and there's nowhere to pass.

And why is it they who are cop protected vs you who will get a ticket for speeding or unsafe passing in that circumstance. Police traffic priorities are annoying.

Good advice, but it would be nice if they paid arrention before they hit the button. It's rather nerve racking to be walking past a car in the parking lot just as the horn sounds... or try to sleep in a motel when some traveler gets in late, parks under my window and makes repeated trips to the car... Every time I nod off they go back out for another trip and wake me uo again.

Internet sales sites that require you to fill in all of your data to find out that they want three times as much for shipping as for the item you want to buy.

Couple of mine.
Phone systems that want you to talk to them, just let me press 3, its not going to understand me anyways

Can I please talk to "Robert" in Hindustan, cause I understand him much better the Shiquanda in Cleveland Ohio.

Ahh, technology has finally caught up with Mom. My car will not lock with the keys inside. It will unlock and give you a loud three beeps when you close the door, like saying "Hey Stupid,,, Keys?".

Wow, this thread goes on & on.

Here are two I don't think I saw mentioned:

Phone calls that violate the 'do not call' joke of a law. The worst is Card Services.

Computer answered phone systems that want you to speak to them, but often don't understand your responses. All I really want is to speak to a person. All the company really wants is to deal with you through a computer.

"Major world leader assassinated! Details at eleven...."

This one you won't relate to unless you live in California's Central Valley. Many people - including weather forecasters who should know better - refer to the weather up in the "Sierras". Sierra is an Indian word that refers to mountain range. There is only one Sierra Nevada mountain range so any reference should be singular, as in "weather up in the Sierra".

Annoy??? not really sure. There's just some things I like more than others!:thumbsup:

The Fox news map on which they do their weather grossly underestimates the southern extent of the Appalachians according to their elevation color code. The highest peak east of the Miss. appears to actually be on relatively flat ground. I wrote them to warn of their odd map, but I got nothing out of that, and the map is still quite odd.

See this error often...

My son's BMW is like that. I asked what happens if you lock the keys (well there is no key really, it's a fob) in the trunk, he said it opens.
