people who refuse to accept that there can be another side to a story/issue and insist that if you dont agree you must somehow be deficient.

Driving behind people who don't use turn signals, but slow down to indicate they are turning. |

Wreckless drivers, a wet newspaper, lines in the ladies room, shoveling snow, leaky faucets, I could go on and on but will spare you. |

Soda,
Glad you got a good laugh. You probably needed it. Hope you got all the lint or whatever off your clothes from rolling on the floor laughing. Actually, when I laugh I am not rolling around on the floor unless it is really, really funny. Typos etc. just doesn't cut it for me.

Cell phones everywhere, all of the time. People in restaurants, on the train but also people walking to the grocery store, in the grocery store, always always on the phone. Relentless loud communication. Especially if with the hands-free thing so they look like crazies talking to themselves. |

People who leave their shopping cart in the middle of the asile and then wander off - you have to move it to get by... sometimes if I'm in an especially mischevious mood I move it to the next asile.  |

People who double park on Millburn Avenue to run into a store (and they don't put on their emergency flashers!). |

People who place their shopping cart on the check out line in the supermarket and then take off to get "a few things they forgot". |

This one piece of mail miss-addressed and delivered to us on four separate occassions by the same private delivery service (not the US Postal Service). What really annoys me is that it looks important -- from an insurance company and thick enough to contain policies or contracts. The sender's address and the name of the recipient are so faded that we can't make it out sufficiently to redirect it ourselves. The voice at the end of the 1-800 number on the envellope sounds like it is originating from India.
If you have been expecting a piece of mail which hasn't arrived for about a week now, please check my front porch. I just put it out for pick up for the fourth time this week. |

Folks that decide that the train is the all-time best place to check out the multitude of rings their new cell phone contains.
What do I feel like today?
The Wild West?
A Kung-Fu movie theme?
Ride of the Valkeries?
"Hmmm, what is it that will speak to my inner child...and make everyone around me think I am oh so clever...hmmm this one?, no..."
Can I just ride in peace?!! |

People in the movie theater talking through the ENTIRE movie- even when asked politely to please be quiet! When did this become okay?
(Totally ruined the last Lord of the Rings for me!) |

SLOBS!!! Especially when you have to live with one. People who expect unpaid maid service. People who think little elves must come in the dark of night and empty trash cans, sweep floors, clean a bathroom, vacuum, wash dishes, and generally pick up after them. The elves, of course, are people who don't live on the same exalted plane as they do.

Small stalls in airport bathrooms. You can't fit your rolling bag, carry-on & coat without major contortions & then the doors swing inward, making it impossible. |

i had a couple of well-intentioned pm's after my posting about roommate slobs, asking how my housing situation was. I was talking about past roommates--flashbacks from California. 
think I have a permanent stress disorder from it.

I agree with Maplewoody about going into a stall and finding piss on the seat. Either lift the seat up, or go in the urinal. |

People who pick their nose in public. They believe they are being discreet, but it is just as if they are on a huge flat screen in Times Square for all to see. USE A TISSUE! |

Gozer - this morning Diane Sawyer was outside in Times Square and threw a cup of water into the air and it came down in ice crystals... it was actually kinda cool. (Sorry for the drift) |

People who pull out of parking lots and onto busy streets without looking to see if there is any traffic already on the street which is likely to be blocking the exit to the parking lot at the same moment they are pulling out. |
