You must not have been paying attention to the real situation. That is inconsequential and really pisses me off.
Another thing is when I walkd through a door and the people following close behind me say "thank you" as if I were holding the door for them. Don't know why, it just bugs me that they always feel the need to thank people for handling a door correctly.

I love this thread.
+1 to the \"big spoons\" pet peeve. Drives me crazy. My wife thinks I\'m insane for hating big spoons. She loves \'em! I think the real difference is between fast eaters and slow eaters. Fast eaters, like my wife, like big spoons. Slow eaters like small spoons. That about sums it up.

Who knows, maybe they're putting more clothes on her. She may be mis-interprettting their "leers".
When people misuse the word "humbled"
Example:
Some American Idol douche says he feels humbled because Elton John says he is a good singer.
Every stupid reality contest show has at least 5 moments like this. Happens a lot in sporting events as well.
That is not a humbling experience. If Elton John says you are a good singer, you do not feel lower. You feel better than before. You have not been humbled.
People who feel the need to blog about every little stupid thing that they do.
"Professional" triathletes who I can beat at swimming and running (and maybe biking if I had a road bike) but they still have their own elaborate websites, where they feel the need to spout off about every workout and race they do, and a dozen sponsors apiece. I'm not talking about the truly world-class triathletes here, more the sub-elite guys who think they're the shit.
Social conventions, such as gift giving. Christmas and birthdays are for children in my opinion.

Definitely agree with this. I like exchanging gifts with my wife, but exchanging gifts with anyone else feels meaningless and a bit of a chore. I am an adult. If I want something, I will buy it. I don't need to ask my mom and dad to wrap it up and give it to me on my birthday or on Christmas. It's annoying when people ask you what you want for Christmas and you have to come up with a list of crap you don't really want because they have to be able to get you something. I tried to convince my mother to switch to no gifts, but she wouldn't have any of that. You have to exchange gifts. The best is when we get together with my parents for my mother's birthday and my wife's birthday (both in September, pretty close together). Last year we exchanged $50 gift cards. Brilliant. It's even worse when people at work want to do a gift exchange. I always suggest that we adopt a family instead, but they think it's more fun to give each other crappy gifts that we don't really need.
I pull up to a stop sign, and wait patiently for the oncoming car to pass in front of me before I make my turn. They then slowly make a turn in front of me without using a turn signal. What? I would have gone if you had used a freakin' turn signal!!! Is that so hard??? I'm normally a very patient man, but that's one little thing that has made me contemplate homicide.
"Ugly Duckling transforms into Beautiful Swan" movies and TV (e.g. "Ugly Betty") when the "homely" girl is always a hot (or naturally attractive) actress with horn-rimmed glasses, faked awkwardness, and messy/unfashionable/baggy hair and clothes.
I'd love to see a truly unattractive girl (obese, terrible skin, hideous face, vision problems require glasses) and the attempts at transformation.
People that don't know how to merge. You're not supposed to just stop and wait for all of the cars to go away. I see so many cars that are just stopped, which makes a bunch of traffic behind them and puts the people who are forced to stop behind them at risk of getting hit by people behind them.
Also, people who speak english but can't actually speak english (also crosses over into writing). Have you read the average high school student's essays? Most are very pathetic. 90% of Americans' writing is just an embarrassment to us all. Something I've observed.
Most people don't even understand basic algebra.
The phoniness of the adult world. I wish I could go back to being a clueless elementary school kid. Those were the days.
Full body scanners and/or being strip-searched in order to get on a plane.
The everyone's a winner mentality that seems rampant in society these days.
Hummers and their drivers piss me off as well as PT Cruisers to a lesser extent.
Ignorant people who assume that a person's possessions are indicative of wealth piss me off. There are so many people who are in massive debt in order to be able to drive their luxury vehicle and live in their McMansion.
Related to the last post, people who think that being wealthy is a sure sign of intelligence.
The Own the Podium program in Canada, although technically this isn't inconsequential for many athletes in Canada. It pisses me off that all of the money and resources are thrown at the sports that have no global competition, like bobsled, while sports that are participated in hugely, like distance running get next to no support because we're unlikely to win medals.
Eating Chipotle or Qdoba burrito bowls without a plastic fork. Feels so wrong.
Lack of urinal etiquette, esp. the people that come up and use the urinal right next to you even when another was open.
Also, in public restrooms when they put a urinal right next to the sink. This seems to be common in gas stations.
People who try to argue with me over matters of personal preference. I'm not going to try to make you listen to the music I like, eat the food I like, root for my favorite football team, or live in my neighborhood, so it really shouldn't make a damn bit of difference to you that my preferences don't match up with yours. Yet some people still seem to feel argue about such things.
