My wife snores every night. Sometimes it's okay and I can tune it out. But sometimes it really frustrates me and I wake her up or make her turn over and snore towards the wall instead of in my ear...

I have got tons...But here's a few that really chap my hide!

The unavoidable idiots at crowded shopping malls or amusement parks, that pick the center of the aisle, to regroup, with their strollers and 6 family members, as they stop & ponder & point to where they are heading next...as people plow into them and they don't even notice

The idiots who are going straight and at the last minute before a light that is green, they veer over in the right hand lane that has a turning option, that you are in, trying to make the light and turn right... yet...you can't turn right because the guy going straight just got in front of you and slowed down...caused the light to go red and still hasn't a clue to inch forward so the poor sucker behind him can squeeze thru on the right & make their right turn...

The bastard that wants to stay in your direct lane change position...and wont budge...so everytime you speed up to pass him, he speeds up, yet when you slow down to let him go on he slows down! I have to literally almost come to a complete stop in the middle of the lane I am in, to make the guy just go past me...Its so annoying...

The chatty people who love to talk about stupid stuff, usually ranting on like Cliff Clavin, on a good day...yet if you want to at least get in on the conversation, they can't even let you contribute to it, they don't hear you and keep on talking...

People that can't hear more than 1 digit of a phone number at a time, when you are reading it too them...
That can't hear it as 867-5309 - It's gotta be...one painstaking digit at a time
8...wait wait wait 8...k
6...wait wait, 6 k
7...ok, 7...go ahead
....5 wait wait, 5 k I got it go ahead...
3 ...whoa whoa slow down 3...ok go ahead
.... 0 uh huh 0 ok
....9.and..9 ok i got it...

Oh god the people that come over & spend the whole time while at your house saying stupid things like, 'are you sure I am not bothering you,?' or, 'I don't want to intrude on you, I should go' after you have clearly told them it's fine....although you know it wont be fine for long...because their groveling about 'intruding' is getting old fast...

PatH

in the Uk they have been having Adverts in cinemas since at least 1997 -that I have known.

**PatrickHenry** · 8th January 2005, 02:47 PM

Yeah, it has been happening for a while in my neighborhood, too. But I have a hard time getting past it. It is so senseless: the audience PAID THE MONEY. If everybody, or even a sizeable percentage told the theater management: "Money back. I'm leaving bcause you don't respect me." I think they would have to revisit the policy. But, people are sheeple...

**Chris** · 8th January 2005, 03:08 PM

I agree.

Plus they are annoying. I only started to notice it back in 2000 or maybe 1999. Guess it leaves more time to get popcorn :)

People who brake at an intersection when the light is green

**castille** · 9th January 2005, 07:45 AM

Actually, funny enough the advertising on the cinema are the only ways I know about upcoming movies. I rarely watch TV, and the newspaper reviews suck.

I don't like the product or service ads, but the previews are fine.
