Thinking that the sound of women slamming doors in your face might have been more annoying to you....

Things that annoy you

True that. And if they are wearing flip-flops there is an annoying flap-flap-flap-flap-flap sound along with the 'wooshing'.
It gets worse if they're walking over a creaky old wood floor at the same time too..
Seems self-evident that wearing a helmet while driving or riding in a car or truck would prevent a lot of injuries, too. Heck, they should put full NASCAR-style roll cages in too.They are not trying to look bada$$, and people that ride them with a small scull cap helmet and regular clothes are just as dumb.
Scooters are the most dangerous of all two wheeled bikes because average people think they only go up to 30mph so they have time to pull out in front of this slow bike, not realizing they are going 45+. I have been clocked at 61mph. Officer said, "I did not know these can do that." I said, "Neither did I." he was so impressed I got a warning.
As one that has one in his garage (1974) with the back end smashed in so far that the motor fell out, and I went sliding across the intersection dragging my knees while holding on to the bike. I can say that thick pants and boots are the only reason I can walk now. Even with the protection I was not able to walk for over three months. This happened in 2001, I keep it as decoration.
Full face helmet is also required. I have also taken a two of my buddies to the hospital that hit their face on the car that T-boned them (that makes a big blood mess). And another that was hit from the side, he flipped over his handle bars and the only impact on his helmet was at the front of the jaw. He walked away only shaken and pissed because of his full face helmet.
I have many more stories but those are a few I witnessed between 1995-2001.
Always ride with protective gear, they can put broken bones back together, but you can not reconstruct ground meat on the pavement.
That would make it too difficult to talk on your phone.
Hmmm, I must be stranger than previously thought. I always kind of liked that sound in my own perverse way. I guess it reminds of certain teachers I'd had a crush on growing up. Similar to the clack-clack of high heels approaching...always have to turn and look.

Quiet farting on a metal folding chair in a large meeting hall. 
Our cabs do not amplify our bass that much.

People making predictions about things that will never happen in my lifetime.
Right on. I find historians annoying too. Why are they always telling us about stuff that happened in the past? As if that makes any difference in our life times..

In the pocket n' thumpy. So woody, so greasy...
Need to get me a pair of corduroy pants: Haven't had a pair of those about 15 years......
Well, that really could make a difference, if anybody paid attention.Right on. I find historians annoying too. Why are they always telling us about stuff that happened in the past? As if that makes any difference in our life times..
I annoy myself when I don't write things down. I tell myself, "No biggie; I'll remember." And then I forget.
Note to self: WRITE IT DOWN!!!

I have no trouble remembering important things. It's stuff like a TV show I want to watch, or something I want to pick up at the store that I sometimes forget. Not a big deal, but it does annoy me.
