[Mediocre Man]

I have a lot

Mixing up then and than. I am really poor at grammar, but this drives me nuts

People who interrupt

Overly cautious drivers

Babies at the movies

Um, y'know, uh, (paralanguage)

Women who wear too much perfume

Couples who sit on the same side of the booth when there is no one on the other side

The insistence of texting when a phone call would take 1/4 of the time

Drive thru oreders messed up. [video=youtube;V66XdulPrBM]

 

[mobes23]

Slow drivers in the left lane.

 

[Further]

the overused phrase "at the end of the day"

People who use the last of the 1/2 and 1/2 at coffee and don't turn in the canister to be refilled

People who butt in to scold when they had no business being involved.

 

[crandc]

Fragrances. Especially those who think they aren't wearing enough unless you can smell them in Seattle. And men do it too.

Men who keep making law after law about vaginas even though they campaigned on jobs.

Assholes who tailgate me when the car in front of me is going 20 miles below the speed limit.

Homophobes.

Any TV commercial. For anything.

People famous for being famous.

Los Angeles. Anything to do with LA. Lakers, smog, traffic jams, you name it.

Coworkers who make the same mistake over and over and over and over no matter how many times I and others explain everything in words of one syllable.

Enough for a start. I don't want anyone to think I'm a grouch.

1.) People that are peeved all the time

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Toppers
People who make every conversation all about them
Selfish driving
People who jaywalk when a crosswalk is less than half a block away
Entitlement
Hypocrisy
Unwillingness to admit being wrong

 

[crandc]

Oh dear. I am an incorrigible jaywalker.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Oh dear. I am an incorrigible jaywalker.

Jaywalking in general doesn't bother me, but when there is a crosswalk right there and the person can't be bothered to walk the extra 100 feet before crossing the 5 lanes of traffic, it just reeks of self-importance to me. "All you drivers must stop, because I have deemed it necessary to cross this street RIGHT HERE!"

I got one better. I like to cross the street when it's convenient because god dammit it's America and I should be able to. I fucking hate it, though, when some asshole wanders out into the street and slows me up when I'm in a hurry to get home. Fucking assholes.

when people don't respect bathroom etiquette - they talk from a stall, or are overly vocal.

There are two guys I go hunting with who have at times shared urinals at the same time. It is a level of intimacy I am uncomfortable with. But then I was born in Idaho, while they moved here from East coast places in their toddler years. Such things are to be expected I guess.

 

[mook]

Topper.

I was trying to cover them all.

 

[magnifier661]

I hate it when I take a crap and there is no toilet paper. I have to crab it with my pants down to the next bathroom and wipe

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

people who mix wasabi and soy sauce.

sake bombs
people who say shit like "when I say "sake, you say bomb"

 

[Nate4Prez]

SAKE!

 

[crandc]

OH yeah, men who use the ladies' room in BART and leave the seat up.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Hey, man, if I'm going to drop $60 on sushi, I can eat it any damned way I want. Wasabi and soy sauce tastes good on some types of sushi, and terrible on others.

Rubbing chopsticks is just a tradition that came out of people dealing with shitty chopsticks. Ain't no call for rubbing in a decent restaurant.

Yeah, I suppose if you're ordering a $90 steak, you can ask them to cook it well done and ask for a side of A1 too. Its your freedom to do so, you just look like a moron for doing so.

I've used wooden chopsticks forever, never got any splinters with them, never rubbed them.

Yes brotha, preach on!

Whats wrong with wasabi and soy sauce? It seems to me 95% of people do this at sushi.


As far as rubbing chopsticks, never gotten a splinter, but when they break uneven it smooths them out to rub. I am actually not a big chop-stick-rubber, but I think i have done it at some point.

Its not that they don't taste good together, its that you don't need to mix them. Nigiri already has wasabi in it, so juts a little bit of soy is good. Sashimi I just put a little wasabi on the fish and then dip it in the soy. I'm will El Prez, you have every right to do so, but it's like asking for a well done steak and A-1 at Ringside.

People mispronouncing foreign words (even though we do it I'm sure) is one of my wife's biggest pet peeves. Its hilarious watching her cringe when people order nigiri or maguro.

that's probably because you're eating with a bunch of yuppies who don't know any better. its an american phenomenon based on groupthink because it "seems right" or they seem other people do it and it becomes a habit. its just a mess and basically overpowering the fish with this strange slurry of two ingredients that aren't meant to be mixed together. Its insulting to the sushi chef because you're telling him "I don't want to taste this sushi, so I'm going to dunk it in hot sauce".

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

also, people who salt their food before tasting it. they get something, they immediately start adding salt....you can't know how seasoned a dish is, its just doing something out of habit.

We got sushi with this one girl who just submerged the entire roll in soy. Ate it and thought it was too salty (wanted low sodium soy). So instead of using less, she cut the soy with water! It was soooo hard not to crack up at her.
