    People that are always just a little late. Start at 8:00, they show up at 8:02
    every day. Then they have to ge set up, get their coffee, etc.
    Meeting time, same thing. Lunch too. Rule of thumb is there is no such thing
    as "on time". You're either early, or late. If you plan to be on time, most of
    the time you're late.

    Feeling a sneeze come on when you've got a mouth full of Listerine rinse and you're halfway between the dining room where you were taking a quick look at the Sunday paper and the bathroom :(

    This became my new pet peeve about 10 mins ago :o

    Listening to people chomp on food. Also, when watching a movie or TV and all you can hear is forks and knives hitting plates while they're chomping on food.

    All drivers in general,especially truckers who pull out just in front of you and then pile up traffic for two miles because they can't or wont get around the vehicle they were trying to pass.

    Why ruf993turbo or his girlfriend haven't sent the adoption papers yet.

    The people that this video references(not just on silentwulf forums). Unfortunately they ruined an unbelievable movie to make the video, but it's still funny:

    People who exibit patterns while driving. A coulple of examples: Those who always speed up going up hills and slow down going down. People who tap their brake lights 5 times everytime the guy in front of them slow down. People with no one in front of them who slow to the same speed as the guys in the other full lanes, sometimes even stop when the other lane stop.

    Avantgarde horns, 300b tubes, thats the kinda crap I want... :D

    You are watching a movie with someone, that same someone is watch the same movie you are and they incessantly ask questions; e.g why is that guy doing that? how come she is crying; what did he say; is that the guy that was there in the beginning; who is that lady; why are they so mad at each other . . . . ad nauseam!!!!

    Well kids are a completely different story. My 10 year old can be a real chatter box when watching a movie. So number one I don't let him watch anything that is over his head. . . PG and below for movies. Pure PG and below on TV. . . Pure PG meaning no PG L, D or V.

    When watching the movie I warn him ahead of time that it is rude to make comments or ask too many questions because others then can't hear the dialog. It usually works.

    Other than those two instances he can yap all he wants.

    People who join a forum such as this and start to brag about what gear they own or have owned, what kind of house they live in or are going to build and what kind of car(s) they have or have had. Nothing says you have a little dick quite like it.

    Women who don't say thank you after I hold the door open for them. I always make sure and say YOUR Welcome in my most sarcastic voice after they do this. I usually get a dirty look afterwards but I don't give a f**k.

    When people use my extension cords and wrap them up so that they get notted up.

    When the wife drops hints for me to do something instead of just saying it. I'm a guy, we don't get hints. We don't pay close enough attention.

    People who talk on their cell phones when they are paying for something or in line. It's totally rude to the clerk and others.

    People who violate my little 'personal space' circle.
