Skateboarders, or certain ones anyhow.  Its one thing to be out with your friends at a skate park or individual's place.  Its another thing to be hurling your body off steps on private property or a businessplace around people walking in and out of a building. These are the same twerps that get PO'd when they are asked to leave.  Sorry, its loitering on wheels.  Theres a reason I take pleasure in watching videos of people falling off their boards and breaking their limbs. 

Doesn't even matter if nobody's around. Somebody owns the property, and that person is liable for what happens there. If they allow skateboarders to use it, they open themselves up to trouble with their insurance companies or with any idiot who gets hurt on their property and decides to sue. Even if that person wasn't skateboarding, their lawyer is bound to bring it up as an example of the property owner not exercising due diligence in making the property safe. Or it could land them in trouble with the city, depending on whether any bylaws are being infringed. Or they have to deal with complaints about noise, loitering, etc. from neighbours.

Even if it's public property, the city is subject to the same laws as anyone else, they pay insurance premiums and they can get sued. Indeed, cities and other corporate property owners are more likely to get sued, because of the perception that it's easier for them to just settle and get it out of the way than devote resources to fighting an injury suit in court.

Skateboarding -- or at least trick skateboarding -- belongs either at home, or at a facility that is properly zoned and insured for the activity.

People who get aggressive or pushy because they 'read' understatement and politeness as weakness. In person or on the phone or yes, even online.

Most times I am trying to keep things civil because I simply do not consider it either appropriate or worth it to argue.  People who know me know that the quieter I get in certain conversations, the closer someone is to dismemberment and death.  Pushing me at that point is courting an explosion.  This blindsides aggressive types every time.  They see reticence as incipient capitulation. If they insist on persuing it, I cannot say they did not have it coming! I hate being put in that situation when I have done my best to head it off.  I generally just dislike pushy people anyway, but it is worse when they assume their own superiority and 'go for the win'.  I make 1200# animals mind their manners on a daily basis...why would I take it from some two-legged idiot?

now this doesn't apply to me, but cuckolds Hatred. It really ticks me off, unless the guy is an a***ole, but the lady then becomes a big a***ole as well. This is also one of the reasons of Suicides/homicides, sometimes even for money!  Hatred not only does give the guy the big f**k YOU, but it also can lead the guy to kill the ex and the other guy- one of my grand uncles got jailed for killing his ex and her boyfriend. Either the guy gets killed, degraded, or the ex and boyfriend/ new husband gets killed or their souls goes to Hell.

Cheating on the part of either member. Male or female, it's just not right. If someone cheats on you, it'd be wise to get out of that relationship. They've just demonstrated that they don't hold your feelings in all that high a regard, and once a person cheats odds are they'll do it again.

If you're in it for the long haul, have a serious talk about it or try some couples' counselling since it's clear that something's not right between the two (or potentially more; I've got nothing against poly-relationships as long as it's 100% consentual) of you.

I don't think this one has been mentioned before.

I REALLY hate it when people tell about something that has already happened in the past but use the present tense to describe it.  I think the television news talking heads started this to lend an air of 'urgency' or to make listeners feel like they are part of the story, but IT IS ANNOYING.  And it's incorrect grammar.

"So, yesterday, I'm sitting in my chair and my boss walks in. His face is white and he looks like he's in shock.  His friend dies while sleeping last night.  So sad."

Arrrrggggghhhh.

I hate it when people walk in or call the hotel I work at and insist on giving me their life story before answering my simple question of, "Can I help you?"  

They're like, "Yeah, listen, I've been driving since 8 o'clock this morning, I had to make a run down to Florida and then my boss calls and wants me to go BACK up to Chicago, and it's now, what?  3am?  Man, I just can NOT make it, I really need a lay down for awhile."  

And I think, "You know, you could have just summed that up by saying, 'Yes, I need a room, please.'"

I guess they figure all the excess background detail will make me feel sympathy for them and offer a lower price.

Most of the time I guess it's not a big deal, but some nights I'm just a bit impatient and think, "Get ON with it!!"

Coffee makers that advertise they are "spill free". No they are not! I pour slowly and it spills. I pour at an angle and it spills.I pour straight on and it spills.  Its going to spill no matter what, dammit.

And I thought I was the only one who had this problem ....
