LOL, not so sure, since like 10 years ago I never have more than one or two drinks, and I have enjoyed the different kind of druks, and I insist, the beligerant and the extremely friendly are the worst.
I know people who I can barely talk with if sober, and only with one too many they are likeable and nice guys.

Erm, you could have lassoed another worthy adversary into the Ivan Corral by just typing 'drunks'

Nope, there are drunks that act almost normally and don't need to prove they are the reincarnation of Bruce Lee or hug everybody while shouting that the 25 people around him are his best friends.

Whenever I see someone with a bluetooth attached to their ear, I always assume they've been assimilated by the Borg.

It is not. I did, however, spend a year at a university by that name, but that was long before people decided to start pronouncing it Igzavier.

In built-up areas I hit the limit and stick to it, within seconds I know I'm going to have the 4 Audi rings in my rear-view mirror, but I really don't mind because once we hit the national-limit signs I stop being Mr Safe-and-sound and will happily gun it; and because I know what I'm going to do and they don't I'll be 100yds ahead of them in a few seconds and they won't be able to tailgate me again until we get to the next 40 limit. Simple pleasures.

The cat pooping outside the box.  |
We got a kitten last weekend (nothing wrong with the old one, it's not an upgrade or anything), it stands inside the littertray and craps outside it - we put the tray on the newspaper anyway so it's easily cleared up. One of our other cats hates standing in the litter - it will perch on the edge of the box to crap into the litter - quite a balancing act.
anyway, my pet hates:
waiters who wait until you've a mouthful of food before asking "is everything alright with the meal?" ... I know they do it on purpose so I really don't mind spraying them with partially masticated food when I answer. I'm not overly fond of the question - they aren't really concerned about the food, they ask so you can't complain when paying the bill - I respond with "Okay so far" or "I'll know when I've finished".
and the driving ones...
People overtaking on the inside - grrrh! - and related - when a lane-closure causes two lanes to merge into one and you can see that t*sser in the Audi a 100 yards back and you know he's going speed right to the front and try and muscle in - yup, I'm the guy who straddles both lanes trying to stop them.
Those white LED running lights on Audi's.
|
Yes! Good man. I do the same. Thats another thing I just can't stand.
And those lights...ugh...what are companies thinking. I'm all for seeing on the roads but don't make lights that literally blind other drivers for 5-10 seconds after some arse pulls up behind you or drives by you on the other side of the road. Really...normal lights work well.

Dig me...But don't...Bury me
I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive

Lawyers who charge £25 for a 2 minute phone call - that's £750 an hour! £28,000 a week!! £1.5 million a year  |
I wish we could do 10% of this.
Here in Perú they don't pay phone calls (and have you an hour sometimes) or consults, as a fact most of the people say they pay if they win, but when they go to a doctor they pay even if he says he can't save you.

I'd be happy to. I like my management trying to get me to sell sh*t to customers even less than they do. On that note, nothing is ever enough for a corporation. Once you hit a new bar of success, oh you'd better not think you can stay there, because they always want more, even when they f**king dominate the market share. And I don't even see the benefits of it. Oh well I might get a $.25 raise after half a year of surviving the yammering of the bitter future-mes gossiping and all. And with that I could save up little by little and buy a big bowl of f**king nothing.

- Drunks
- How people my age, and younger, talk
- Juggalos
- Urban and pseudo-urban clothing style
- People who feel the need to share the fact that they are deaf/mentally challenged with you while driving their car. I'm talking about booming bass, of course.

I hate some languages that are so restrictive with their users that the users' can't pronounce anything that is not in their language, even if they're explained how. My surname can't be pronounced be French people, and it's not really complicated. It's Mircea (MIR - CHÉ - A). They say MIR-SÉ-A. If I choose to remain in France, I either have to modify my name or to put this curse on my family/descendants. And there is no way to transliterate the pronounciation of my name into a French one, there is no good equivalent. Maybe Mirtchea, but that looks awful, I'd better kill myself. Many Romanians in France change their names. And btw, I hate those Romanians who modify their name without need. Really, why change Ionescu / Popescu to Ionesco / Popesco?
