You know what really grinds my gears.......

Ok so maybe I'm just a weirdo, but there's silly little things that really bug me for no apparent reason - what about the rest of you? Is there any little thing that really annoys you, but probably shouldn't that much?
Ok I'll start:
I hate it when peolpe jiggle their legs up and down when they're sitting down. Some people will do this continually and I HATE IT. There's no logic to my annoyance but it really bugs me.
It also bugs me when women put their make up on on public transport - just wake up earlier if you want to wear it - and don't give people dirty looks when they stare at you.
Ahhh the people with their carts in the middle of the aisle make me so madd. Because usually they have a bad attitude if I try to get by and say excuse me.
I just want to shop and go homeeee. Buttheads.
In stores it is bad enough, but I can't stand it when people sit in their cars in the road talking and block the street in both directions. In the store you can at least go around the next aisle if you have to.

yessss. If they don't move I honk. A lot.

Word... I swear people are so self absorbed
A driving related thing.
I just don't like asshole drivers. In general. Today some one waved me on and let me go in front of them when I was leaving a parking lot (it was like 3 feet from a red light so its not like anyone could get anywhere faster if they hadn't) And this truck goes around that person super super super fast and almost hits me and honks at me so loud and like 20 times. JUST TO GET TO A RED LIGHT. Wow. Ugh.
Jerks.

Oh, man. You hit on one of my daily laughing factors. Like when someone passes me really fast, just to brake harder and get stuck at a light. Or people who try and pass a bunch of other people, just to get to a red light. One time a young guy was showing off his hot car and zoomed past me and accelerated to, I don't know, probably 90 mph or so, then got stuck at a light. When I caught up in a minute, I pointed and laughed at him. He looked sad.
You haven't experienced bad driving until you've experienced I-75 out of Atlanta during rush hour(s) in the evening.
I can one-up that: I live in Los Angeles.

Try Miami. All the signs are in English yet 75% of the population doesn't speak it. Then you have to account for all of the international people here that still drive like they are following the rules of the road from where their from.
Nah, I still win. So there.

Well, shit. That sucks for me because that means I lose. :(

I agree. I used to live in Miami. I swore I would never complain about traffic again.
Drivers are much better here now because of the development and the reconstruced interstate. When I first moved here from the SF Bay Area I used to get so mad. Here we have people that have never been more than 50 miles from home in their entire lives. It used to be common for people to stop at the bottom of the on ramps onto the insterstate!! Sometimes they even would back up the on ramp if the traffic is heavier than they want to deal with. Any if you want to talk about annoying, try driving during harvest season. I love following a combine to work at like 10 mph when I'm already late.
I know about the combines! Argh! It's so hard to get around them sometimes, too, especially if it's a narrow road. I try not to crowd them, because I know they can't do anything about it, but I want past!
In my town people drive on the wrong side of the road sometimes.
It is not very fun and kind of very scary. A huge lumber truck came at me on the wrong side of the road once.
Nah, I still win. So there.
Seriously BS... Gridlock... LA blows
Once it took us 2.5 hours to get from west LA to Pomona (~50mi) on a weekend day. And there were no accidents on the freeway.
One time, my friend and I left South Beach at 5:00 (big mistake) heading to South Miami (10-15 miles) and it took over 2 hours. The Causeway/I-95/US1 mergers are insane!
OH FINE. you win. sort of.
I always win.
