Things that annoy you

Lazy non lames who take the elevator to the 2nd floor. (Not really that annoying, just seems like a waste of an easy chance to get a tiny bit of exercise)
I gotta chime in on that one: I've worked at buildings that don't allow use of the stairs except for emergencies, or they make it very difficult to get to the stairs. But yeah. I have a three floor rule. Less than a three floor climb is a candidate for stairway use.
 
People that speed up when you try to pass them.
This actually cracks me up; it's so petty!

You get behind a guy. He's going pretty slow, so you say to yourself, "No biggie; I'll just pass him." Somehow, he sees you trying to pass him as a clue to speed up, despite the fact that he was perfectly content to go slow until someone wanted to go faster!
 
Old people driving down the freeway with their blinkers on.
(I caught myself doing this briefly the other day.. 'cept I ain't old ;))
Yea, that really mucks up the judgment of a lot of the cars behind them as far as slowing down to let them in or not wanting to change lanes into the one you think they want to get in

Word. I think some folks do it unconsciously ... speeding up to keep up with traffic. But some are just doofusz who can't maintain their speed
 
It's better to feel thankful to be alive to have things to be annoyed at than to be annoyed at being alive to have things to be thankful for. Right?
 
The elevator door opens and people immediately begin piling in before those already inside begin leaving. Also, the word "boner".
Same goes for buses and trains.

Also for elevators, the person in the back who delays getting out because they're doing something on their phone. I'm 6'5", and I've damn near mowed down people half my size while getting on what I thought was an empty elevator.

"Hello - I'm Mike Lindell - inventor of My Pillow ....."

I'm so tired of hearing that damn pillow commercial, and no matter what channel I change it to ... there's Mike Lindell, and his My Pillow ad. Some channels run it 3 times an hour, and I can almost recite the whole thing.
I am guessing you have never, do not now, or will never own a My Pillow, correct? I hate the commercial, too.
