Little things in life that annoy you.

It annoys me when a passenger on a public bus stands up near the front doors just so that they can blab with the bus driver. Sit the hell down!

It also annoys me when people bring their family to work-- on a non-"bring your kid to work" day. Or worse, their pet!

People that want to force things about their private/family life on me. "This is my baby! She just turned 3! Wanna see a picture of my dog?" I don't care!

The one person who is driving slowly in front of you in one lane and then turns into the lane you went into to go around him.

Doing homework online, since the questions are asked in a disjointed way.

CADD programs crashing on a very capable computer.

Cyclist blowing through stop signs and blaming the car driver for not slowing down in time.

Car drivers who run down cyclists.

Taxi drivers who run stop signs and nearly causes accidents.

Oh yeah, the "I took 50 near-identical pictures of my newborn granddaughter - look at them look at them!!!" people.

You know those rough, slightly stiff paper towels you dry your hands on in American restrooms? European toilet paper is a lot like that.

Ahh, that's the stuff they stock in high school bathrooms all across America.
"Chuck Norris Toilet Paper" - it's rough, tough, won't take s*** of anybody, and you have to know karate to tear it!

At least most of the places in western Europe now have the western style toilets. I've been far enough east into Turkey to run into ones like this.

Nah, it's probably just made you so tough over the years you no longer notice.

My friend who lived in Europe for 3-4 years got used to it and now he can't stand American toilet paper.

My pet peeve of the day is one most of you can't relate to directly, but you've probably had similar situations.

Frequently studios or distributors will contact me with offers for screeners or interviews. About half the time they don't respond back when I express interest. I sort of understand this in some of the larger cases, where I'm just on a huge mailing list that they sent out, but every now and then someone will actually take the time to fill out my contact form and write a nice letter to me directly, then not follow through sending the screeners when I accept their offer.

I have so many things wrong with me that I try not to let much worry me, other than my health but there are a few things that really annoy me.

1. People attempting to push in at a queue at the bank or just at a queue anywhere. My normal reply to these people is "The queue starts behind me."
2. Inconsiderate drivers and those who hog the road.
3. TV programs where the hosts and the guests talk over one other to get their respective points across.
4. Clients who are difficult: believe me when I say I have my fair share of those.
5. Non recognition at work: after 26 years, I should be used to it but I'm not.
6. Idiots who talk smack about my country.
