I get really annoyed by indie rocker dudes who insist on always wearing these goofy looking tight jeans:

In the car is one thing. It's the douchebags that wear it EVERYWHERE.

People who let their little f*ck trophies loose in stores on wheelies.
People who hold up the line while their little f*ck trophy dithers for 10 minutes over a menu board that the little f*cker probably can't read anyway.

I'm amazed this one hasn't been mentioned. You're behind a car, approaching a red light, turn signal on, where you are going to make a right hand turn (legal to do at a red light where I live). The inconsiderate jerk in front of you comes to a stop WAY to the right, blocking your way until the light goes green. Happens to me almost every day.

Almost every day? Hmmmm.

That's got to be karma bringing you a small measure of annoyance for all the annoyance you bring when you want to annoy people you disagree with in PARF by posting your irrelevant blather/spew/deflection/monkeywrench crapola.

Just look at your post... you're referring to the driver ahead as an inconsiderate jerk. How do you know they're inconsiderate jerks? They might be very nice people.

It's just too bad (for you) that they don't realize the world revolves around you.

Arsehoules that think I am out to race them whenever I'm in the 911.
I can be in the old Volvo and people give her a wide berth much like an elderly, old maid aunt, but let me be on the road in the SC and every arsehoule in the county zooms right up behind me, tailgates, whips out and gives the Fuch-U look and then cat and mouses it thinking I'm gonna race.
Not bloody likely. Wish they'd burst into flames!

People who bump there car in the "Porsches for sale" section to the top every day or every other day. Hey give someone else a chance to have their car at the top and guess what if you're car is there for weeks that means no one is buying it at that price.

Just came back from a drive testing a route for the PCA color tour.

Several annoying people made an appearance:

Clown getting off the freeway going 35MPH. Gets to the end, green arrow for us to turn right on a red, he/she/it sits there until the arrow turns yellow and then it's aredlight again. I guess they didn't realise that there were other people behind them because..................wait for it........






THEIR FREAKIN' OUTSIDE MIRRORS WERE HANGING OFF THE CAR, HOLDING ON BY LORDKNOWSWHAT!!!! THE WINDOW TINT WAS SO DARK THEY PROBABLY COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING THROUGH THE WINDOWS, EITHER!!!!!!







Clown #2 pulls out in front of us on a 45MPH road going maybe 20. She then decides that it would be a great idea to get back on the freeway and cuts across the noses of a line of cars. No indicator, just turns the wheel and la-dee-da, away she goes.

This one's annoying... but also extremely funny when you really think about it;

One day I was approaching a 4-way stop about a quarter mile from home... on my way home after work. That being a busy time of the day, there were 3 or more cars at each stop sign... more approaching.

The woman in front of me had never bothered to learn the rules of how to navigate a 4-way stop, so once she got up to bat, she just sat there until everyone else from all directions had gone through.

I think it's more funny than annoying.

And for the smokers in the crowd:

People who say: "You smell like cigarettes." While wrinkling their nose with distaste.

I think my next response should be: "Yeah, but you're ugly. I can just eat a mint. WTF are you going to do?"

OMFG I detest stupid people. The battery in the MB finally gave up, after 8 years it was borrowed time, so I yank the battery out, throw it in the back of Peggy and head into town. I swing by Advance Auto, since there batteries are made by Johnson Controls, AKA Interstate, these will work.
I roll up to the counter and the following conversations takes place.
Me: Good morning, I need a Battery for an 02 Mercedes, C240
Dumbass: Sorry we don't have one
Me: Do you have one across town?
Dumbass: No we don't stock batteries that are mounted in the trunk.
Me: Okay that is fine but mine is under the hood
Dumbass: No it isn't, your battery is located in the trunk.
Me: Hold the phone there partner, you see these patches on my jacket? You see this Mercedes key in my hand? You see the Battery I have here for a core? Trust me it came from under the hood. There is an issue with whoever programmed the info in the computer. The C230 is mounted in the trunk, not the C240, so now that we have that covered do you have a battery that will fit my car?
Dumbass: No Sir we don't stock trunk mounted batteries.
Me: I see you hail from the shallow end of the gene pool
Dumbass: Huh?
Manager: Sir can I help you
Me: Yeah do you have a battery that fits my car?
Manager: No Sir we don't stock trunk mounted Batteries.
Me: Is breathing the only requirement for employment here? Y'all have a nice day I need a smoke and some coffee.
I walked out and got my battery, at the Advance across town.

Well, having being forced into a retail management position because I was laid off I can and will confirm that that is the case 90% of the time. My job is to constantly find and hire new people. The resumes full of spelling mistakes, unprofessionalism and general stupidity is simply amazing. During one interview when I asked the candidate if he had any questions the candidate asked me what find of food I liked. Not about advancement opportunities, questions about the company or anything else that might have shown some intelligence or interest in the job. He asked what kind of food I liked.
