31. You and my wife would get along.
I'm one of those...you know, "neurotic car leavers" who often has to walk back outside and get the groceries. Seriously I don't know what is. As soon as the car is off I'm gone. Weird. It drives her crazy. I really do not like driving I suppose and when I'm driving and we arrive wherever the car is in park, turned off and, the door is opened nearly synchronously.

A corollary would be when the fitted sheet slips off of one corner as you are applying it to the other. x(

11. Oh, I have more! People who constantly poop in the downstairs bathroom
toilet, despite the fact that they KNOW it can barely flush two squares of toilet paper, and then leave the resulting clog for me to find, HOURS later. Ass.kicking.ontheway.

Just fucking go will ya! You were here first and you are causing me to be that hesitant "four-way stopper" in the process. Fine I'm going and I don't care if you mean to let me.

35. Hotels that don't have in-room coffee.
A hotel room near the elevator so you can hear it go UP and DOWN all night.
Non-smoking hotel rooms that smell like smoke.
Sitting in the middle seat on airplanes.

Yes, there IS a theme here. :D

We blame mom and dad. The kid is just being a kid. Mom and dad should be tied up publicly and mocked.

49. A group of people who make you go around them.
Like they're headed your way, and you're headed their way -- they're blocking the pathway and can't fathom the thought of forming a quick line so you don't have to go around them.

50. Music snobbery
I'm not saying that they can't like what they like, but too many push their snobbery. I'm not and never will be a music snob - too limiting for me.
