I need pet peeves

[ericcoleman]

Ok. I'm asking everyone here.

I'm working on a new song ... it's about those people ... you know ... the ones who piss you off everyday just by being jerks.

I need examples ... something to fuel my brain here.

I'm not talking about something personal, the way someone laughs. I'm talking (since it's the 1st verse of the song) that gerbil who is driving 45 MPH in the far left lane during rush hour chattering on their cel phone ... things like that ...

People who write in l33t-speak / text-messaging on message boards, in online games, etc. As a corollary, people who knowningly mispell common words and think they're above proper use of language.

People who think that because they have more money than you they are therefore superior to you. Give triple extra stars and negative kudos to the ones of these that are staunch church-goers and think that their money shows favor from God and my lack of money shows that I am less godly/holy/righteous/etc.

People who speed through neighborhoods, uncaringly endangering or even hitting pedestrians, people walking their dogs, cats, children playing, squirrels, and even birds. Double-points to those that actually pass someone in a neighborhood that is driving at a sane speed.

People who lack the competence to even park their cars and hit mine and then leave without leaving a note. By extension and by personal experience, hit-and-run drivers.

Drivers who honk at you or flash their brights to make you get over... even though everyone on the road is going the same speed you are. Or... people who do the same when there IS only one frickin' lane.

Drivers who honk at you to make a right-turn on red (here in Michigan) when they can't possibly see and/or there is a sign making it illegal.

People who block an entire road to talk to a driver coming the other way down the road.

Anyone who thinks common courtesy and politeness is obsolete.

Parents who drop their kids off at malls or stores for hours and hours at a time. Store employees and mall security are not free babysitters.

Anyone that thinks the incredibly random occurrence that they have more money than me means that they have the right to tell me how to run my life.

Poor losers. Poor winners. (When they lose it's because you cheated, the game is flawed, the dice weren't fair, etc. When you lose it's because they rock, you suck, etc.)

People who bitch too much. :)

Oh, and public cell phone users in general, but most especially the knobs that use speaker phone because they're too frickin' arrogant/lazy to move the phone 6 more inches against their ear. Double-points to those that swear and argue over the phone in public places.

Today I had someone honk because I wasn't turning right (I was going forward) and I wouldn't turn right on red or run the light so they could turn right on red.

OH and those stupid walkie talkie phones with the twirll-chirp sound each time someone talks
