    People who add "Innit" onto the end of everything. It gets into my eyeballs and tears them apart from the inside...

    people who use chatspeak in real conversation.

    I do not want to hear anyone say the words "I g 2 g, t t y l."

    Unless you're tigger and say "ttfn, ta ta for now." Which is excusable.

    Agreed. There's a girl I used to work with who always uses stuff like that, and I just want to slap her and tell her she's not IMing anymore.

    People who are so lazy they expect you to get everything for them, and when you ask them VERY NICELY to get just one thing for you, they freak out.

    Then I must conclude that your little brother and my sister are one and the same person.

    Whenever I'm over at my parents house, my little siblings will get me any and everything that I ask them to.

    Conclusion? You two need to move out for your siblings to be willing to get things for you.

    Er...I-I'm not shy or anything. Really! E-even If I were, I think I'd enjoy it in my shell more than being forced into conversation. ;)

    I hate people who chew with their mouths open and make smacking/slurping noises to boot, like my brother. I wanted to knock him upside the head every day of this past school year ( I didn't notice is as much when we were younger). Thank god I'm living on my own now.

    I hate people who inisist something has to be done the right way, i.e. their way. I may be guilty of this sometimes though, so...

    I don't believe Pyjamas need to be ironed. Sorry, Mother.

    Most of all, I really depise the whine of mosquitoes by my ears when I'm trying to fall asleep. That just makes me go into a pillow swinging frenzy.

    I hate people who chew like that, too! My brother's friend does that, and it drives us all crazy!

    But yeah, shy people are annoying. I used to be kind of shy--okay, really shy--in elementary/6th grade before I realized that it wasn't gonna get me anywhere. So I became supersocial, and now I'm very outspoken and it gets me farther. Plus it's more fun!! :D

    I hatehatehatehate when you cant find the real versions of the music video you're looking for on YouTube.

    Come on. Ever seen a Marilyn Manson video? You can show the visual but have to bleep out the audio? Wtf man...

    Tired of hearing "This is the new 'hit' " when I want to be hearing an "S" in front of that word. S'what I came onto YouTube for in the first place.

    Also, I hate those little ads at the bottom of the video on YouTube. Fail.

    xxx

    You know what else also bothers me? Parents who take their kids to wicked violent movies and then flip out at a little bit of sensual depiction?! ... Hmm.

    I hate that, too. And since moving into a house where there is a cat, I've also discovered that I hate the sound of a cat licking himself. The two sounds are remarkably similar and equally disgusting.

    People iron their pajamas? Wow. I didn't even think pajamas needed to be worn, let alone ironed...[/quote]

    I hate that too.

    And I hate remixes. And songs that just combine the lyrics from a whole bunch of other songs to make a new song.

    Stupid cops. Yeah, we've all encountered one.

    I was once riding my motorcycle when a cop (also on a motorcycle) came up alongside of me and told me to pull over. I did. He said that I was going a bit fast. OK, no problem, yadda yadda, sorry. Then the man said that I was a dangerous rider becuase I had "tunnel vision." The man actually told me that I deserved a speeding ticket becuase I didn't see him riding behind me.

    Also, I was again riding along, this time with my headphones on. Apparently I had run past a stopsign. The cop actually yelled at me, "If you did not have your headphones on, you'd be able to see where you were going!"

    Boggles the mind, I think.

    They deserve my respect and that is it. I HATE self-righteous, over-zealous, bullying police.

    /Used to get pulled over for "suspicious car," "Mandatory random stops," "Looking for someone else," ect at least twice a week.

    //Stopped when a cop stole a Panamanian tobacco pipe (legit, never been used, I was 18) and I called the police station to get it back. I did. From the cop. In person. On that cop's day off. Needless to say, he was embarrassed walking into the police station with stolen property.

    British police sometimes do a lot worse than that when under pressure.

    I'm sure. This, however, was all unprovoked. I got hit with a nightstick for forgetting to say sir once.

    ~Right this second... People who call and just because I didn't answer the call right away, continue to "beep in" then say..."Oh, were you on the phone"? Grrrrrrrr

    Picky eaters. I like variety in my food and get irritated when someone nearly faints because something has *gasp* and ONION on it. (Or anything else that's a veggie)

    I like pretty much everything.
