Places that close at 7 pm on a Sunday.

I am curious as to why?  Can a private place of business not set it's own hours?

Telemarketers.  The last two who called up launched into their spiel so loudly and non-stop that there's no way they could hear me when I told them I'm not interested and to take me off their calling list.  We're already on the "do not call" list, but...whatever    Now I've got some idiot calling up here who sounds like she's 9 years old and seems incapable of comprehending anything I say.

Is there even an infinitesimal chance that these sorts of people ever sell a single item to anyone they call?

peopeol who hang out in their car in front of the pump after they've gotten gas.

What the eff is up with Youtube and this damned "do you want to use your real name?" thing.  No, I don't.  As I've told you idiots about 8 freakin' times now.  I click no.  "Are you sure?  Here's how your real name will look."  Oh gosh, that's what my name looks like?  How cool!!!     Click next.  Next.  Next.  "Return to comment".  Click that ten times.  It's stuck there.

People who write emails in the subject line and only use the email body for their signature.

People who complain it's too cold. The same people will complain it's too hot in summer.

If they call you on a mobile phone, greet them cheerily and put the phone down carefully and walk away.

There was a time in South Africa where nothing was open on a Sunday at any time due to something called 'the Sunday Observance Act'. Nothing opened on any Sunday so you were scared to go ski-diving.

The Cracked article that I wrote got over 1 million views, the bulk of which was in the first week it was viral. Apparently about half of those were not from unique visitors as the top 10 writers get a bonus got the most unique views the first week its published. I didn't make it.

I would've got another $100 on top of what I was paid for writing it if I had.

Ladies who bash on pornography, yet raves about 50 shades of grade because it is 'literature'. In that case, then Hentai is alright then!

That sounds alot like the town in Texas, where I got my master's degree. Though, you probably go skydiving. When I was attending the university in town, every business was closed on Sunday, and I mean every business. The students attending the same university at the same time, as I was, not liking this, passed around a petition putting a proposition on the next election ballot, that people who owned a business the option to open on Sundays. And the voters voted down the proposition. Probably because most of the students were not voters, as they were not considered residents of the town, and thus unable to vote. So every business remained closed on Sundays, when I was there. Though, as I understand it, later the same proposition was again placed on the ballot, and this time it passed.

People who say that metal is the Devil's work- basically, this kind of s**t:

fans of the sick stuff this really is, are sick, do not have any taste in music, do not have a soul, even if you're an atheist you'd be wondering if it is smart to sell your soul to satan (as this retards clearly did)...

in your hearts you're pedophiles, homosexuals, necrophiliacs, and abortionists - it's not even about religion anymore, being so much into death and hate is disgusting and plain weird, you should take time off from work (if you have such a thing) and look for a psychiatrist..

See, this kind of s**t makes me want to through people off of bridges.

When I need to delete half a line of text and my cursor is almost, but not quite, on the right edge of the page.  So everything keeps skipping up from the line below and I either have to stop 10 times to check that I'm not deleting too much, or else I can just delete too much.

Maddening.

This didn't happen to me personally, but it's still obnoxious.

A coworker called out sick with stomach flu (or something similar) and had a doctor's note. The boss simply said "A doctor's note is not an excuse, take some immodium and bind yourself up." The man is throwing up and s**tting uncontrollably, let him have the day off without a fuss.
