- Left lane idiots. I drive home on Rt. 80 westbound in NJ every day. Seems just about every other day there is some bozo with PA plates parked in the fast lane driving 5mph below the speed limit. Hey buddy - I know your exit isn't for another 2 hours, but would you do me a favor, and "keep right except to pass." Here in NJ, that's how we roll.

- People driving under the speed limit in the fast lane that give you the finger as you pass them on the right. Hey pal -- nothing personal - I'm just tryin' to get home...

- People who violate my personal space. Stop touching me!

- People who use your tools and return them dirty or damaged

- People who do ALL of their banking at a drive-up ATM. Also - people who stare blankly at an ATM machine because they forgot what the heck they went to an ATM machine for! (My ATM routine: insert card, tap in pin, hit 'fast cash' button, remove cash, remove receipt, remove card, leave. 30 seconds and done)

- People who attempt to finish my sentence for me. I have been known to say, "No, that is NOT what I was going to say. Now, would you let me finish my sentence NOW?"

- People who complain about something ad nauseum yet don't do anything to change the situation

- People who never admit they are wrong, and will argue their point until you either walk away or cave in.

- People who point out your faults all the time. I play tennis with a guy who makes it a point to tell me what I just did wrong. I know I messed up a shot, and I know why I messed up the shot. I don't need someone criticizing a shot I missed, especially when that player's game is worse than mine! (He also tells the trainer we work with during drills WHY he missed the shot and how it isn't his fault!)

- People who use the same stupid phrase over and over and over again. Whenever I cough in my office, a guy will ALWAYS say, "Smoking those cigars again?" It is 'haha funny' for the first 5 times, but after the 5,000,000,000 time, it gets a little old.

- People who say "Me and my friends went to the store"

- People who sign their SMS messages and emails, "Sent from my iPhone." Why do you think that makes you so special??

- Parents who cannot control their children

- Reality TV stars who think they are talented

- People who clip their toenails on the airplane

- People who keep up those 'icicles' Christmas lights up on their houses all year long. Hey man -- they aren't invisible and look foolish in June, lit or unlit.

- People who don't wash their hands after using the bathroom

- People who don't have aim when using a urinal

- The entitlement attitude that seems to be the prevailent theme among the youth of today. You don't DESERVE anything -- you want something -- get a freakin' job and earn it!

- People who go to Costco / BJ's / Samsclub and hover around the free samples stands, and take 5-6 servings of the samples. This isn't a free dinner pal!

- Spam phone calls. I don't care what the FBI says, stop trying to sell me a home security system!
