Drivers who regard a yield sign as a personal affront...

Drivers who see a green light as "go", yellow as "go faster" and red as "hit it!"

1. Banks that send you an overdraft notice in the mail and it takes 4 days to get to you and you keep acquiring overdraft charges.

2. ID theft that causes your bank account to become overdrawn.

3. Having to go in (tomorrow) and have to deal with the bank.

Things that tick me off include...

  1. The growing misuse of 'strategy' in almost all sectors of American society.
  2. Movies based on video games.
  3. When a person hears a lucid reply and then says "Of course," as if the thought had occurred to him long before when it is clear that had the thought occurred earlier the person would have said something entirely different from the get go.
  4. The use of 'subconscious' when people are talking or writing about the unconscious.
  5. Parents who don't think social networking websites are a 'big deal.' Sure, strippers have to come from somewhere but that doesn't mean they have to come from your house.
  6. Sports journalists who seek to establish themselves as gatekeepers to athletics.
  7. Music lovers who think spectating is the same as participating and use the conflation to justify pirating.
  8. Political scientists who use historical events as 'case studies' to prove their point.
  9. Members of the Green Party. They'd rather be 'right' than get their issues addressed, debated, and, potentially, resolved.
  10. People who act as if their food behavior reflects an advanced level of social ethics and political consciousness. Your shoes are made of what...? The last time you carpooled was when...?
  11. The intellectually lazy practice of explaining conflicts as 'another Vietnam.'
  12. Most sectors of the blogosphere.
  13. Scholarly books that would better accomplish their goals if they were articles.
  14. The ongoing inability of many Americans to realize that the people most humiliated by reality television are the viewers themselves.
  15. Being called obsessive compulsive. Just because someone sometimes washes his hands, then washes his hands, and then washes his hands, before washing his hands does not mean the person is DSM-IV-TR 300.3. It just means I...I mean he...likes to make sure his hands are clean.

Agreed.

Been there many times.

Bank email as follows

"Dear customer Jason,
You have been negligent due to our negligence, you are fined 100000000$.
Bank of America"
