| |  As of now...
...people who are so darn stupid and ignorant on things and yet are the ones responsible in making the final decision. 
...also people who are so shallow and superficial that aesthetic values are given premium over real inner strengths, talents and skills.

| | | People (these are often female) that talk during movies because they "don't get it" and have to mention this to you DURING THE MOVIE as often as they can.
I mean, if they don't like the film, you certainly shouldn't enjoy it.
...and people that are pissed, while I'm not, you know how frustrating that is! Damn it man, if you're drinking, give me some too!! |

| | | uh, well, a lot of things. a horribly long list in fact. but, as of now...
the problems I'm having with the graphical functions in VB6, not to mention the problems with texturing 3D meshes and arranging movement to work properly and simply on isometric 2D grids that have changes in perceived height.
and then I'll have animations to organise. dammit.

| | | I hate it when people walk past my house. I am very territorial and sometimes I just want to bark at them and snap at their ankles! Get off my land!
Oh and I also don't like mobile phone ring tones. A phone should bloody well ring like a, well, a phone, dammit...
Makes me irrate! Makes me cross! Grrrrrr!
AND, footballs. I really don't like footballs, (or football, or footballers, or football shirts or the love of football in any guise).
Loud voices - don't like loud voices. Prawns - don't like prawns. Maths and numbers - don't like them! Children - yuck. Buses - why are they not on time? Shoddy service in shops - don't get me started....Body piercing - OMG that's so nasty. Hooligans - string em up! Vandals - death penalty!
Er, what else...(*thinking*)

| lol! I could not agree more I mean honestly, the more conventional cell phone rings are bad enough. I recall when I was using one I had the ringer set to something ressembling a bird chirp because it was the least obstrusive and most "normal" choice available... 
Even worse are those people who feel the need to set their cell phone rings to something like a midi rendition of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.
Sacrilege! Such individuals should be dragged to the gallows!

| | | My neighbors. They own a personal car-painting business and run it in their well-furnished sports garage, and they're up during the wee hours of the night on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays with all the T.V.s on loud and all the noise of all the cars that the teenagers who visit there like to show off.
THAT is what sets me off.

| | | About the phones, I have found one instance that rocked. A temp IT guy had his cell phone sound set to an almost perfect replica of the old non pulse dial phones. When his phone would ring everyone would wonder where the extra phone came from because it did NOT sound like a cell phone.. no midi straight replica.

I'll stay clear of you and you stay clear of me...
Other then that...I can't think of anything that drives me nuts... Nothing that makes me hysterical or hyperactive at least...

| | I understand, Karembeu, so let's agree to disagree on this topic!
I'm rather contrary and tend to dislike lots of popular things and like lots of unpopular things (like pouring rain, Marmite, odd people, boy bands, Celine Dion, Cliff Richard, etc, etc!)

| What about Cliff Richard and the Young Ones, that always cracks me up
At the moment, in holland, every freaking teen has got a mobile phone (why?!) and sometimes when your drinking coffee in a cafe (because University coffee is distilled sewage) there is a group of people with the average age of 12 and they are letting the others in the group hear what great ringtones they have.
So your in a cafe, listening to the most idiotic versions of today's top 100. AAAARGGGGHHHHH! and this can go on for half an hour or so.

| | Well, by gosh and by golly, here are some things that really tick me off.
1. C@ckroaches. The blasted things are designed to piss people off. First, their bodies are very flat, making it possible for even the biggest ones to crawl into impossibly tiny places to escape death, which, by the way, is my second point: they're damn good at escaping extermination. Third: for every one of those things you see, there are thousands more. I developed a serious vendetta against c@ckroaches during the few years I spent in the pest control business in the steamy Southern US. Death to all roaches!
2. People who wear a coat and tie on the weekends. Come on, it's the weekend, for Pete's sake. The 1950's ended 44 years ago.
3. William Shatner.
4. Bite-sized dogs. You know, the kind that are no larger than your foot, and bark incessantly - producing a very annoying "yap yap yap" sound. Invariably, such animals are named "Fifi", "Muffy", etc. Often they attempt to attack your shoelaces, or even worse, savage your ankles. All deserve to be kicked across the room on sight.
5. "Tropical" Sprite. Yuck. Almost as bad as Mountain Dew. 
6. Telemarketers. If I want something, I'll call you, don't call me. Death to all telemarketing companies!
As you can tell, I'm a very irritatable mood right now.
