People driving for hours on the turnpike, and not having cash ready when their at the tollbooths, and then asking for directions. In the mean time,12 cars and 3 semi's are lined up behind them. Store clerks that put the change on top of the bills and reciept, and then wonder why it fell out of your hand. Politicians that spend our money, but never had a real world job in their life. Women spitting kids out faster than a labrador retriever, and having as many different fathers. I think the older we get, the longer the list. gypsyman

people riding bicycles on the hi way & wont pull to the side and let traffic by.

Bubbas and soccer moms who pull all the way up as far as they can go in the left lane at a traffic light! I'm in the far right lane, hoping to turn right on red, but I can't see around Bubba's truck or soccer mom's SUV to safely make my turn!
And PLEASE...if you have a carload of folks (more than 2 or 3), PLEASE go inside the Burger King, McDonald's or whatever to place your order. Those of us in the drive-thru are usually in a hurry.

People in outdoor public places frantically waving their hands in front of their faces and faking coughs when they get the slightest whiff of tobacco smoke. The way some folks act out, you'd think they'd been exposed to nerve gas.

At one time there were places set aside for smokers ti indluge in their habit , many did not smoke in their own homes. Then they started smoking everywhere and lost alot of freedom .I don't care if people smoke I just don't care to and don't care to breath the smoke from others . Smokers often forget their freedom ends where others begin .

High gas prices, politicians who lie, journalists who lie, liars who lie, thieves, the IRS, the state charging for accessing public lands for recreation, dogs that crap on my lawn, truckers who drive above the speed limit, drivers who think they are being courteous when they stop for bicycle riders to cross a street.

Semi drivers on the interstate that have a truck that will go 1/2 mph faster than another truck and block the left lane for 20 miles to get that 1/2 mph. POWDERMAN.

Impatient four wheelers

Storing clean dishes in the dishwasher and dirty ones in the sink.

Women who leave the toilet seat down when they are finished.

LOL, I wonder if these same people go camping, hunting, and fishing which sometimes involves a campfire? there's probably some nasty stuff in campfire smoke too, but I love the smell of it.

People who stick their nose in someone elses business without knowing all the facts!
Like the one that was just pulled on me a few days ago.
I have been trying to stop smoking so I have one of the fake electronic cigarettes that makes vapor but no smoke.
At an outdoor event a person that was four down from me started that fake coughing and asked me to put it out.
I said sure, but I really didn't think it was bothering anyone since there was no fire, no real smoke, no tobacco in use.
Everyone around started laughing at him and he clearly was getting a little upset so I put it away until after he had moved on.

This one drives me crazy.

The sign over the sinks at WAL*MART "employees must wash hands with warm water and soap before returning to work". REALLY are you kidding me? Have you tried to get water from one of those damnable things? Warm? Enough to wash with soap and rinse? By the time all that came together I would lose focus on why I was standing there in the first place, ... explains the sign maybe.

How about a sign that reads Warning The Employees Hands Are Just As Nasty As Yours

People that take their dogs everywhere with them. People that ride their crotch rockets like their qualifying. People that play their music in their cars to loud.

I hate it when a group of people block doorways and isles in stores just standing there talking. They can see you need to get by them but ignore you untill you have to ask them to please let you by. Similar thing when checking out in a busy store and the cashier has to play catch up on all the news from the person they are checking out. I've seen them completly ignore the long line of people waiting to check out as they chat away unconcerned. Also seen folks simply leave their carts full of goods in line and just walk away to shop else where. I've done that myself a time or two.

Over reacting to what ? someone poluting the air ? Non smokers have the right to clean air . The reason smoking is controled as it is today is due to lack of respect of smokers toward non smokers . At one time there were places set aside for smokers ti indluge in their habit , many did not smoke in their own homes.

Smokers often forget their freedom ends where others begin .

I'm not talking about rude people who light up right next to others. I don't like that either. I'm talking about outdoor areas where it's legal and appropriate to smoke, where certain individuals think that if they detect 1 part per billion of tobacco smoke in the air they need to call 911 and evacuate the area. Smelling something in low concentration doesn't mean your "rights" are being violated.

Sorry, but nobody has a right to crystal clear springtime fresh air everywhere they go. There are plenty of odors that people are subjected to and only extremists claim that they're being poisoned by them. As they say, "it aint supposed to smell like roses."
