1. Flight attendants that think they are better than me but really serve no use besides handing me a bag of nuts and pouring my drink. - here's a hint: I make more than you do - so stop treating me as if I am scum on the bottom of your shoes. "your seat can be used as a flotation device" ummm ok...

2. People who assume that because I am a body builder that my d*ck is small. Here's another hint-- the ***** is a muscle and grows when the body grows (I know this first hand).

3. People who stare at me or my wife - these are usually fat a$$es that talk under their breathe about how we look. I now have a little fun and ask - "did you say something"... I have yet to have one say "yea I did"...

4. (had to add this one) - when eating out, I keep the table clean and expect the waiter/waitress to help me in this. When we finish the salads - take the empty bowls away - when done with dinner - do the same. I am constantly cleaning and wiping the table down... I know - I'm crazy... but if they help I tip really well!

Dude - if that's true, and your arms are any indication - you must be lugging around a fire hose everyday.

Guess I'll leave my top 3 PPs since I've read everyone else's:

1) People who think they are better than others.
I don't care if people are rich or poor, have a PhD, MD, DO, or their high
school dropouts, etc.
We're all just people and should be treated as such.
2) People with no sense of humor.
If you can't laugh and have fun (at least some of the time) - what's the
point?
3) People who knock others for buying/doing what they like.
Options are great. That's why there are hundreds (or thousands) of
different houses, cars, etc. - so all of us can find something we like.
It would sure be a boring world if we only had one house or one car to
choose from.

Here is an old thread which everyone can add to.....

1) Drivers who sit on the white line at a green light waiting to turn left and then don't proceed to turn when the light changes to yellow


2) People who insist on driving the speed limit in the left lane on a 3 lane highway and think it is there right to keep others from passing or even slightly exceeding the posted speed limit.

3) People who park way out in the parking lot right next to my Crossfire when there are no other cars already near mine

People turning left who never proceed into the intersection until there is a green or an arrow thus holding everyone up.

People turning left to get on the freeway ramp that have the right of way but won't turn until the other traffic turning right onto the same ramp is past. What part of having the right of way don't they understand?

People who throw trash and cig butts out of their car at the top of highway exit ramps and other places. They should be shot!

1. people at car shows with kids holding ice cream.
2.TV commercial time ratio being equal to the actual show content time.
3. People driving at night with one ( or both ) headlights out. ( why is it that it is usually the right one that is out ? )

~ i have one more to add:

1) when you wave at someone in your neighborhood to be friendly and they look at you like you're an idiot and don't acknowledge you in return.
(is it that hard to wave or smile people)?

You need to think about moving to a little less snotty neighborhood.
Here in my tiny town, everyone waves at everyone, regardless of race.

Glad you said something - I know some in the US/Canada yawn when Brits bleat about our fuel prices but image how we feel when you guys do it!
Today we are being screwed out of around £1.32/ltr for premium (97oct) - about $2.16 - so not quite double - but that's the cheapest it's been for a while - I was paying £1.48 ($2.42)/ltr. to fill the SRT in the summer.
But prices are always lower just before a hike - currently 60% of what we pay goes in taxes.
However - a 37k-mile SRT6 just sold for £6.5k which I think compares favourably with typical US prices!

Rant over - back on topic, take my peeves as:
1. Fuel prices
2. Road Fund License (£475 pa!)
3. Members of the Middle Lane Owners Club - won't move over, won't speed up, won't let anyone pass without a fight = mobile road blocks!
