Using someone elses computer!

Using someone elses computer when they haven't figured out how to stretch their desk top to the whole width and height of the monitor they are using!

The letter P on a keyboard. For some reason it always gets in the way.

The Caps Lock function on a keyboard... I disable this monster with a 'regedit' on every new computer I buy...

People who fuck with other peoples computers while they are using them.

wondered why my caps lock didnt work!!

People who drop beer mats on the floor from the tables of my pub then look down at them but can't be arsed picking them up  

People who rip up my beer mats into tiny pieces and drop them on the floor  

I hate these   's  

[bigmick22]

I like ripping up beer mats - and the labels on beer bottles

Sorry Dave  

[Stogie]

 Me too. It's the new 'smoking!'  

People who fuck with other peoples computers while they are using them...

That would annoy me too!  

[seamus]

People who come round your house to fix your PC, when theres feck all wrong with it & leave you with vista & nothing that works on the damn thing

(Stogie @ Mar. 06 2009,00:51) Thai people who stop moving at the top or bottom of mall escalators...

This one annoys me too, also people who exit a door and then stop right infront while a pile up occurs behind.

In this same theme of people who are blissfully unaware of their surroundings are people who make no attempt to move aside when you are walking towards each other. Most people shift slightly so you can pass each other comfortably but some people just dawdle along in their own little world. I've almost walked into a few people.

The rice Man who comes through my BKK neighborhood at 6:30 a.m. and announces his prescence over a loudspeaker. This is louder than all the other vendors who pass through at more decent hours because their aren't any other sounds at this time. Except for my snoring before getting woke up.

I just thought of another one. Opening a bag of chips. If you pull too hard the bag is destroyed and you end up with chips everywhere. If you don't use enough strength you look like an idiot wrestling with a stupid bag. Then when you do get it open it tears down the length of the bag and then you're left with a bunch of chips and no bag to put them in. I hate that.

People who think the 15 items or less check out line means anything you can cram into a shopping basket even if they have 45 items.

Parents who refuse to have their kids immunized saying it's a matter of personal choice not realising they could help increase the spread of diseases that we have all but eradicated. I'd love to have a time machine and take them back a hundred years, we are lucky to be born at a time when life expectancy is almost double what it was a hundred years ago.

The prevelance of pseudosciences in our culture. Everything from homeopathy, magnetic therapy, astrology, psychics to creation science etc. I can't believe that poeple are allowed to sell products and services that are outright bullshit. There seems to be a large market of suckers out there, with too much money, who are willing to believe any old gobbledygook.  I suppose you could say that if people are stupid enough to buy things from these snake oil merchants then good luck to them but I think it's wrong to prey upon peoples hopes and fears.

Are you listening, God? Well, are ya?

Upgrade your life to a gated community. They keep these noisy bastards OUT!

I lived on a moo baan in Pacnam for a few years and somehow got used to the vendors selling milk, weird drinks, politics (they are the worst!), dried out bits of fish...

...and collecting all the crappy home made adverts from the mailbox extolling A/C service, crappy local restaurants or plumbers... No more SPAM either!

walking out of the bar with your barfine for the night only to eyeball the hottest little sexbomb youve seen for hours(well minutes anyway)
