When people talk about you while you're sleeping.

People (Especially so called friends), who say "Ill call you tomorrow about #something important#" Then dont. - How hard is it to spare 5mins for a quick phone call? This is *IMO* worse when said "friend" is FEMALE.

"Pattern Parts made from OEM molds etc" - Which dont fit, or they leak, or break easily.

My nexus s - wont update to latest android OS because the phone is unlocked.

Inefficient drivers. Basically meaning people who don't look ahead and read the road ahead and act accordingly. Especially my girlfriend. Such a terrible driver

the person merging in should know how to spot and evaluate a gap into which they can adjust speed/distance/position input!

the persons that are travelling right next to the merge lane area should be leaving some decent gaps and watching also! not wanting to be part of a freight train or think they are nascar drafting!

every morning... every damn morning i'm driving or riding to work.... the traffic slows to under 40kph for about 3kms on one section of freeway ... it goes past one particular merge lane/on ramp and back to freeway speeds... just because the mouth breathin cretins dont know how to behave around a merge lane! ...

Exactly! There is one spot on my morning commute where traffic merges into the fast lane (piss poor highway planning, if you ask me). Invariably, the morons entering traffic from that entrance crawl along the merge lane at 35mph (minimum is 45 for expressway), then reach the end of the merge lane before starting to look for an opening in traffic (which is normally cruising at around 65 mph around that curve). Guess what they do? Yup. The sons-of-motherless-goats yank the steering wheel and merge in--at 35 mph without looking--forcing everyone to slam on their brakes to avoid them.


People who can't appreciate different styles of music, even if they prefer other styles of music. Also, people who listen to the same CD all day every day ad nauseum.

Manuals that after all these years, are still full of inaccuracies.

Fixing Junior I have been reading the Clymer manual to see if it is better than the Haynes. Clymer is poor on putting things back together. But I find interesting:

1. Instructions to put engine in OFF switch position then press start to do compression test. OFF kills everything so start button won't work.
2. Their diagram that shows the OFF switch in series with the start and clutch switches - which is not correct, either.
3. "If the engine refuses to start, check the carburetor overflow hose attached to the fitting at the bottom on the float bowl....."  Didn't know we had any carb overflow things.
4. "...do not use the allen bolt that secures the rotor to the crank shaft..." Never have I seen a GS500 use an allen head bolt for the timing rotor.

People who dont ride (and dont know how to), yet feel compelled to argue over points they know nothing about regarding riding.

*Im currently in one of these arguments.. apparently im "not a safe rider", im "not in control", i "dont value my life", "there must be something wrong with the bike", i "fail to realize that cars need drivers, making them heavier"...i could go on. All because i locked my rear wheel earlier by ACCIDENT when slowing from 70-30. 9kmiles, first time the rear has EVER locked, but this guy thinks he knows every reason etc.     

When people go on about things they don't know a blasted thing about.

People who make up stories to sound cool.

When I'm driving a larger vehicle and people try to merge into me because they are blind. Silly Civic, this is a Ram. Just try.

Walmart Checkout lines.

When drivers tap their brakes for no reason, with no traffic, and I'm 3 car lengths behind them.

When a driver in the fast lane is every so slow creeping past the guy in the next lane and you catch up from way way back. The guy is past the slower car but refuses to move over. The gap isn't quite large enough for you to get into. Then the guy taps his brakes cause he thinks you're too close to him. Grr.... if only ramming was legal.

Anal thinking, pro-active,tree hugging, earth-muffin, clueless and stupid chicken-little people in California

How about when someone finds out you ride a motorcycle, they recite a series of horror stories about friends or family that were maimed or killed while riding irresponsibly?  Thanks; that's just what I needed .

My brother had to have emergency bypass surgery a couple weeks ago (He's fine. No heart attack but was caught before he had one.
Anyway, he didn't tell people. Why? Same reason. In the hospital and everyone visiting wants to tell you about hospital horror stories. Not what he wanted so he only told family. Smart move!

what do i find annoying? anything known to the state of californication to cause some malady/ cancer/ or death. i have an idiot friend here locally, ive convinced him life was fatal. we all die from it. had to let him dwell on this thought for a while before i broke it to him.  ( he LOL'ed

People whom ask you a question, then recite your answer back as a question.. most recently:
Me; "oh, blah blah film.. the first one"
Other person; "Is it the first one?"
Me (irritated); "blah blah film.. the FIRST one"

People who do not answer simple questions. At all.

adidasguy - So now even trees can cause cancer.. 

And, more of a major thing instead of petty:
When you cant think of anything to do, no job, no reason to go out, but nothing on tv, and the only person you want to talk with is busy.

STUPID PATENTS!
How on earth could Apple patent a "rounded rectangle shape"? Things have been that way for eons.
Stupid people patenting everything under the sun in hopes of creating monopolies.
I thought patents were supposed to be unique, innovative, non-obvious? Rounded rectangle?
That has to be thrown out as a bogus patent. But you see patent vultures doing that with everything.

I will patent the color and texture of my poop. If you want to poop,p you must pat me a licensing fee.

That's what it amounts to.

Sheeeeesssshhhhhh........................

Neighbors who do this to the alley. 6" deep soft gravel.
It is a city alley - not a private drive way.

I'm on a dead end alley. I have no choice. The 4 people at the end did this to it. Opens them up for a serious liability if a bike goes down. Almost dropped mine twice.

Call the local authorities on it. Done. 

In the news of the annoying...

- People who take credit for other people's work
- Supervisors, etc., who feel the need to micromanage
- Tradies who advertise "no job too small" but then don't want to do Small Jobs
- Written lists that go from the shortest word or sentence to the longest word or sentence 

hell i loved the small jobs, decent cash for minimal work.

Major Shops that still have surge charges on using a card. Hello cashless society is just around the decade. Get with the program.

People who block the only way through a carpark to wait for the decrepit old people's spot and they haven't even made it to their spot yet and just four carparks up is 96. free spots.

Being asked time and time again aren't you hot in your motorbike. No not really otherwise I'd be in hospital with heat stroke.

Partners who take every comment as some sort of personnel attack.

People worrying more about phones at service stations but don't worry about a backfiring car or the fact that the bomb over there is probably got multiple shorts in it.

My neighbour's dog. How they can stand there and pretend their dog isn't barking is beyond me but I think my other neighbours will thump them soon so problem will be solved.

My mother refusing to try and use the tyre pump at the service station. Or the fact she had one brand new tyre on and three dead. WHAT THE MUPPET?

Parents walking with their child through shopping center while said child has snot running down nose into mouth.

Businesses with "Fuel Surcharges" that never go away no mater what the price of gas is.
