    For me, its people who use the word "literally" when they actually mean "really" e.g., "I was literally blown away by what she said!"

    On a side note, I also hate the use of the word "like." (Think I have teenagers?)

    What's yours?

    "like" is annoying, especially when someone uses it 2-3 times per sentence.

    People who leave their blinker on long after they've changed lanes, or people that wait until the last second to merge and force their way in even though they've known the merge was coming a mile away.

    and when HCP's girl calls me more than twice in one day.

    Or how about people who enter the intersection on a yellow light, with traffic backed up ahead, KNOWING they will be blocking the intersection when it turns red?

    Sitting on hold for an hour while a machine repeats endlessly "your call is very important to us".

    Makes me wish I believed in hell (I don't) because I wish those who put those messages on spend eternity hearing "your call is very important to us".

    Also my neighbor who does not keep his dog fenced, a big dog - do you know how much dog shit I've had to shovel off my plants? I had to bury a whole season's rhubarb when the dog crapped all over it.

    When people say "supposively" instead of "supposedly."

    Also, when people say "should/could/would of" instead of "should/could/would have."

    When people ask a question then end it with "or no?"
    e.g "do you want to go to the movies, or No?"

    It's like, let me fucking answer the god damned question before you ask me another one!

    I hate it when people don't use their blinkers. It drives me crazy.

    I don't like it when people don't tip an appropriate amount at a bar and I don't like it when people are rude/domineering with waiters/waitresses.

    I'm sure I have a lot more, but I try to bury them deep inside rather than focus on them... until what I've tried to forget happens in front of me and I get upset about it all over again. :)

    People who drive 50 mph on a two-lane highway and then speed up to 75 when an uphill passing lane appears.

    This happens all of the time on HWY 26 in the Coast range as well as on the Santiam HWY.

    Btw, did you know that you can actually clean up explosive diarrhea with a sham wow? It absorbs like 900% of it's own weight in..well...whatever do, don't try to squeeze it out into a clear pie pan to show your friends how absorbent it is. I know from experience.

    I don't care if I have it. In fact, I've done some of my best thinking while sitting on the crapper.
