I also hate people who take up two seats on the metro when it's full. It's bad on a bus, it's bad on a bench, but if you're like me and get really dizzy when sitting backwards/standing on the metro, this is the worst.

Oh yeah, and people who spell definitely "definately". ARGH!!
When people in casual conversation use the word "said" referentially. An example is… said friend then went to the store.
people who ride the metro . . . and NOT pollute the world with their car's exhaust.
When rockers stick a lit cigarette offa the end of their guitar for cred. I don't know who the worse offender is, but Bob Dylan is the only one who should be allowed to do it. Or Hendrix. No one else. If I had a band with lotsa guitar I'd stick four lit cigs offa every ax, just to be annoying. The name of my band would be THE PASSIVE SMOKERS WITH MUCHO CRED.
Pedestrians who stroll into traffic without looking first because they're too busy yapping on their cellphones.

people who go to shows and spend 90% of it with their arms raised high snapping up hundreds of photos of the band with their cell phones/cameras so they can go home after the show and tell all their myspace buddies how amazing a time they had at the show. some of what should have been better shows for me have been ruined because i'm playing a game of dodge the cell phone carrying douchebag.
those free daily papers that people take into the station and then just leave them on the train. you point out that they left their paper and they just give you a dirty look and walk off the train. what, you're too f'n good for the world to take your paper and drop it in the recycling box when you exit the station? wankers.

Originally posted by Surly Bonds:Keith Richards is the master of this and predates Hendrix and Dylan doing this. He has to be let in, look at how many headstocks he has ruined over the years doing this. There is actually in a guitar magazine bitching about people who do this and they comment about Keith lighting one up with one on his headstock and one resting on his amp.

A personal one that probably no one else agrees with:
Rockers who put their feet on the monitors. Not their monitors but the club's monitors. Some can not handle this and get f'ed up.
Cab drivers in Maryland, specifically at Silver Spring Metro Station, that take FOREVER to get out of the roundabout, so that you end up spending 3 bucks before you leave East West Highway and Wayne St. Yeah right, timing of the lights, my ass.

Sports media coverage of poker. Poker is not a sport :mad: .
People who park across two parking spaces….especially if it's some piece of crap 85 camaro or something. You should be able to key a car if it is taking up more than a single space.
People who are always in a hurry as though they're more important than those of us who got up early enough to take our time on the FUCKING METRO ESCALATOR.
People who walk down the street talking on their blue tooth…How many times have you thought they were talking to you as they approached you?
People who rush to the boarding gate as soon as the flight is announced. YOU HAVE A TICKET WITH AN ASSIGNED SEAT…CHILL THE FUCK OUT! And anyway, I have Rory (3 year old son) with me so will get to board before you, you prick. (Southwest passengers excepted, besides you deserve to be hussled you cheap bastards)
Those big foam #1 finger thingies they have at college sports…and the morons who wave them at the camera while shouting "Hi mom" or something just as lame. You can't all be number fucking one for crying out loud.
Baseball hats worn backwards, unless you are actually a baseball catcher you look like a complete PRICK……and women wearing baseball hats, especially if they have a ponytail sticking out the hole in the back were the size adjustment thing is.
BMW drivers…You may have paid far too much for you piece of shit, but you didn't actually buy the road as well.
Lexus drivers… NEWS FLASH!! It's a fucking Toyota, the only premium is on the selling price.
That's it for now…there's oh so many more because I've reached that grumpy old man age.

I love this thread. I thought I was the only curmudgeon on this forum ;) Here we go:
- Drivers who don't follow the rules of the road.
- Pedestrians who cross the street in the middle of the road and expect cars to stop for them.
- Poor spelling and grammar.
- The religous right.
- Spitters.
- Littering.
*phew* Nice to get that off my chest. As Kevin Drew says, "We hate your hate".

People on the Metro who lean their lazy selves against the poles, meaning nobody else can hang on to it.
People on the Metro who park their fat ass against the panels by the door as soon as they get on, thereby reducing the number of people who can move through the door in a certain time frame. I always try to step on the feet of such people as I'm getting on the train.
