people who call my house wanting me to miraculously fix their computer by waving my magic wand at the phone.
now listen real closely....bring the phone just a little closer to the computer so i can see what the problem is. ah yes...a dimwit at the keyboard.
ps.
no offence to those i really like to help, and those people know who they are.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned this because it's my all time most hated pet peeve:
TELEMARKETERS!!!!!!!!
I must get *at least* 5 friggin telemarketing calls a day. I can't stand it! Sometimes I have fun with them, but usually I just don't have the time or energy to wait through the whole schpeel just to say "not interested". Maybe I should just hang up, but I just can't seem to bring myself to do it most times.
Oh yeah - and they always call at the most convenient times. Now I know how householders felt when I knocked on their doors early on Saturday mornings LOL.

In conjunction with the driving peeve above: people who bring their families with them to the store, spread out side by side from left shelf to right shelf, and amble down the aisle at .ooo1 mph: plod... plod... plod...
I have been known to remark to my companion when confronted with a group like this, "Dang, honey, we got one of the carts that doesn't have a cowcatcher on it." Did it spur them to move? No. Did it make me feel better? You bet.
Comf,
Good point! You'd hate it here in Western Australia. The shops are only open Monday-Saturday 9-5. And that's IT. So EVERYONE is shopping for their groceries on Saturdays, and the aisles are so full you would NEED a cow catcher to move the herd! Plus everyone is rushing to get the food before it's gone (meat, perishables). It's extremely frustrating, especially when you're used to American shops being open 24 hours per day and you can go when there's no crowd to bother you!

cure for dog owners that let their dogs shit on your lawn...
take a late night wander and post it to them through their letter
box, or leave exlax for the dog to find.
cure for telemarketers....hold the line I'll be right back then leave them on hold indefinately
door to door salesmen,make like youre interested and see how long you can keep them sitting around before they get bored ( 3 hours is the record for me... so far)
husband cant leave the telly remote alone? swap batteries for flat ones and watch him go into cold turkey finger twitch syndrome and
struggle to find a way of turning stations without actually leaving his seat
unsolicited mail? save it up a whiles then swap all the bumff round into the prepaid reply envelopes provided and send it back
remember dont get mad get even

SNORING!!!! IT IS THE MOST DETESTABLE SOUND THAT A HUMAN BEING CAN UTTER!!! And, drunkedness. I hate drunk people. They smell of liquor, which only reminds me of everything vile and repugnant. I think that's about it.

Another thing about kids,
In a restaurant and the family has an infant strapped into a high chair. After awhile the little tike gets restless and squirmy and stands up. The adults push him back down and he starts to cry. Why don't they take him out of the high chair when he gets fussy and let him sit on someone's lap.
Then you got the energetic 3 and 4 year olds who want to get off their chairs and go around and visit all the adults at the table. For Christ's sake let them. But no, they slam the kid back in their seat and the child starts to cry.
My favorite dot com going bankrupt! Webvan.com, the fabulous company that delivered my groceries to my kitchen table every week, went banrupt two weeks ago. I haven't been grocery shopping in three years. I hate grocery stores for all the above mentioned reasons and more. I have no food in the house! The prince is hungry and keeps dropping hints about wanting food.
I also tend to get upset at adults correcting MY children. I never keep quiet about it. Today a woman asked my three year old if it was necessary for her to scream at the top of her lungs. (We were at the zoo) I said "she is three, is anything necessary?"

People who put other people down for not having a collage education.
People putting others down because they have less money they they do.

I love ALL people, even the one's who make me angry. I get over anger quickly, and time is to precious not to forgive.
You never know, one who is your enemy today, could one day be your best friend.
