People who get worked up over little things that don't matter. What's the point? Life's too short to sweat the little stuff.

1) People who drink a small portion of their bottled water and then pitch it out the car window

2) People who snowblow their driveway at 6 am on a holiday and then dont go anywhere.

3) That one idiot in the office that comes to work all the time and makes you listen to those 100 decibel coughs every couple of minutes. Or the nonstop throat clearing...

When highways go to two lanes and signs say slower traffic keep right. And the slow *** in front of you stays in the left lane. They should put another sign behind this one that says this means you stupid.

People that have a license plate that looks like a rainbow because they don't realize they should put the stickers on top of each other. In my experience these are usually the worst drivers on the road.

And about 8 or 9 times out of 10 the person is Asian. No joke. I have a good Asian buddy and he pointed it out to me. Both his mom and his dad have like 6 or 7 on their plates. I started paying attention to drivers with stickers all over their plates, sure enough a good majority of them are usually Asian.

This may just be a NE Houston thing: someone in the right lane signals to turn into say a store, the person next to them in the left lane slows down 10ph or so thus making me who is behind all of this slow down. It's like they just want to stay side by side

I agree, and I also try to live by the wise words of one Mr. Ferris Bueller:

I have two:

-I can't stand when people say "soda." It's POP.
-I'm from Waterloo/ Cedar Falls and it irks me to no end when people from Iowa say "WATERloo" instead of "waterLOO." I know the Belgian city is "WATERloo," but you're from Iowa, know it's "waterLOO."

It's not Ryan, it's Ryne?

I have one developing and it's when people on CF end their posts with "just sayin". Yes, it's pretty obvious what you are sayin'.

Misuse of then/than, there/their.

Filler words at the end of a sentence...and stuff,...and things like this.

Folks who now have a "thing" instead of a thought or an opinion or a concern.

Mount..in, and Creight..in. Instead of Mountain and Creighton.

Pants on the ground.

Always and never.

People who only look one direction then blow the stop sign or just look to see if there's a cop then blow the stop sign or red light.

The double-standard of people who ride their bikes in the road yet do not follow any of the traffic laws. They go 10 mph in a 35 mph zone and slow down all the traffic and then proceed to blow through red lights and stop signs.

If you want to be treated like a vehicle, act like it!

I also cannot stand people who don't understand the meaning of the word "literally".

CUBS FANS: They say next year is our year. They when next year comes they have a dozen excuses as to why it wasn't the year.

I hate when people use smilies or say LOL every text you get.

I hate when I repeat myself 3 times, because they weren't listening the first time.

I hate when those sale commericals come on, and they "But if you call in the next 10 minuets we will double you offer"

I also hate PeOpLe WhO tYpE LiKe ThIs
