Vociferous Ignorance

I can do without people that get a call, choose to ignore it and leave it ringing instead of investing a fractional unit of effort to silence it...

Halted Response

I can do without people who, when walking next to you, suddenly stop when you say something surprising or unexpected. Is it really that necessary to add that much emphasis to the reaction? Can you not walk and be surprised at the same time? I usually just keep on going, they'll catch up when the stupor fades...

Waiting Line Surprise

I can do without people who, when they get to the counter at a fast-service joint like starbucks and such, are not prepared to take their wallets out. Then they triple their counter time searching through 20 coat pockets or 200 acres of fendi purse for money. It's as if they are surprised that they need their wallets. What? You want money for this? Well, you caught me off guard miss...

Turning Turn Signal

I can do without people who don't use their turn signals as a general rule, but then there are those people who turn into a lane right as they put on their blinker, as if to justify spontaneously merging right in front of you.

Segmented Service

I can do without restaurants that divide tables by sections and assign one waiter/ress to each strictly limited area. If the restaurant is managed correctly, this method is highly efficient...but we all know the only way this would happen is if we had a table at the Utopia, on the beach, and were served by unicorns. This pisses me off to the extent that I have vowed to veto a place after having consistently sat for absurdly long periods of time waiting for my token service attendant, a length of time that makes you start to wonder if the waiter took the time to individually dry each rice from mi risotto, with a cotton swab. And Still, you will not be given a second glance from a waiter not belonging to your area even if your lasagna spontaneously combusts and you are engulfed in a fiery mix of shredded McSurprise and stale tomatoes..

Landing Ovation

I can do without people who clap their hands as the plane lands. The annoyance is further incremented when they clap as it Takes Off, because you Knnow it's going to be a repeat performance. It's the pilot's job people, much like a bus driver..If the plane executed a barril-roll and a loop and Then landed while having the pilot juggle rubber chickens on fire, I'd clap for that...

Iberia Stewardpeople

I can do without most steward"people", specially the ones from Iberia. All of them. No exception. Even the arguably good-looking ones, they suck too...
