People who don't use their flasher when turning.

Mosquitoes.

When the lead in my pencil breaks when I'm in the middle of writing something.

People that put hanging balls on the back of the truck.

Ahh yes, Truck Nutz; the Douchebag Bro-Dozer identifier.

I have a similar one.  Pencils that don't sharpen well to begin with.  I got a box of them a while ago-and it seems every one of them I try to sharpen the first time-the graphite breaks just leaving me with a pointy stick.  And it ever seems to get it right.
At least, that's what Gary Busey told me...

ER

Those KFC commercials with that hideous singing Colonel Sanders revenant. Unbearable.
What does not kill me makes me stranger.

ER

Maps that show landmasses out of proportion, making Greenland the size of North America.
What does not kill me makes me stranger.

ER

When people who don't believe in Islam call Mohammad "the Prophet Mohammad". I understand honorary titles, dubbing a retired civic leader "Mayor" years after she left office, for instance, but a prophet is someone with a direct line of communication with God. If someone believes Mohammad was talking to God, and that God told him to compose a book, line by line, that told humankind how to pray, what to think, how to act, then by all means convert to Islam. But if someone casts a dubious gaze on that claim, then that person shouldn't be disingenuous and put the word "prophet" in front of Mohammad's name. Either you think Mohammad was spoken to by God, or you do not. There is no halfway.  "Prophet" is too huge a title to grant a person unless one thinks it truly applies.

Rocks in your shoes.
People in customer service that screw up your order/directions and don't apologize when you get them to fix it. (or they refuse to fix it)
A runny nose.
Slovenly roommates.
When your dog poops in the house.
Computer brain farts.
People blasting music at odd hours of the night.
Gross vegetables being put in otherwise normal dishes.
Family drama/soap opera.. I have my own life to worry about, thanks.
People that assume they know all about you and have you figured out completely.
"O the legend they say, on a Valentine's Day, is a curse that'll live on and on.."

Auto-correct.
When my foot/leg falls asleep.
Buses that arrive early when you're late and late when you're early (I'm looking at you especially, bus 201).
People who say that bassists who use a pick aren't real bassists.
Guitar snobs who turn their nose up when I mention I use an Epiphone Les Paul. To hell with what they think! If I like how it sounds/feels, I'm gonna use it.
Scratches on discs.
Humidity.

That was my decision for the bass I got, the other one was too tech-savvy for me and the last one was too thick. Still better than Dry Bones.
I too hate it when the discs I got have scratches, a major reason why I use digital (that and I listen to strange stuff that would cost too much to order from Amazon)
I live in a humidity city, I hate it for two resons- a) it gets too damn hot here and 2) flying roaches.
yeah no.

ER

When people put salt on their food before they even taste it.
What does not kill me makes me stranger.

flying roaches.

Oh yeah, I had forgotten about those little horrors. That's one thing I don't miss about Southeast Texas. Here in Louisville the bugs are just minor annoyances, not the stuff of nightmares.

When you conclusively prove someone wrong in a debate, and they respond by calling you names . . . .
"I shall smite you in the nostrils with a rod of iron, and wax your spleen with Efferdent!!"

When I'm driving and can't find a song on the radio I like, and then one comes on that I do like-just as I'm arriving at my destination.
At least, that's what Gary Busey told me...

I'm not really, super annoyed by any of these, but these are things that. I wish just didn't... you know, exist, happen, whatever word it is that goes with what I listed.

People who try to justify pedophilia.

Bugs that bug, like mosquitoes, ticks, bed bugs, etc.

Drivers.

Money

The economy.

Sociopaths.

Sadists.

Pit bulls.

Fruit fly infested fruit.

Squirrels that are murderous against all plant-life.

When people make "jokes" about serious causes, like ebola, the holocaust, 9/11, etc.

Ants moving in the house.

Terrible administrators on Sven Co-Op servers that are well-respected by others.

When people can only make opinions off of newspapers or Fox News.

Gratuitous sex scenes in movies, TV shows, and... yes... video games too, sadly.

That one, thorny vine (the plant!) that just so happens to love your pants, and attach to it.

Condescension.

Ignorance.

Narcissism.

People who use 'scientific theory' as the answer to everything. It's still a theory, idgit!

People repeatedly asking what my first name is.

People who think they're so special, and start a conversation, standing in the middle of the road. Not moving.

"Listen, you've got to get down below. There's something coming through, and it's the nastiest looking thing yet! Some of your buddies went down there a while ago, and I haven't seen them since."

Skull

Money...

No matter how much work you put in the pay-off is never enough!!!
