Teenage boys and young men wearing ball caps indoors, even at restaurants.
Posters who type "loose" when they mean "lose."
Stupid people.
Pop-up ads, spyware, adware. I have considered the death penalty as suitable punishment, but I'm not sure.
Stupid people "working" at fast-food joints, invariably messing up your order.
Stupid young waiters and waitresses saying "you guys" in every sentence: "How is everything for you guys?"
Everything-a-commercial on baseball broadcasts: the Fox ads behind home plate on the pitcher-batter shot; the "Time for the Dobbs Tire Cracked Bat Exchange"; etc.
Christmas stuff that starts up in mid-November, even before Advent begins, and then ends after only the first of the twelve days of Christmas.
Nose studs as a job requirement at a coffee shop I frequent.
Piercings, tattoos, and other forms of body disfigurement as a fad. Time's up!
Employers making employees work on Sunday mornings, leagues scheduling activities for kids on Sunday mornings, etc., as though people don't go to church on the Lord's Day.
Stupid people. Have I mentioned that?
As I once told a guy who came to my friends restaurant in Miami wearing his hurricanes hat: "This aint a ballpark. Take it off now!"
Men who wear hats indoors better be circumsized, if you know what I mean. Otherwise, they should get flogged along with the a-sholes who blast hip hop out their windows at 3AM.

Ahhhhh. Exactly. That drives me bonkers.
As I told my grandfather when he complained about a check out clerk not being able to make change: "do you REALLY expect intelligence if this job is the best they can get?"
The Biggest one is!
Trying to get to a real person on the telephone after you have to press about 10 keys on the phone and STILL no one answers!!
Press 1 if you are calling about service or a technical problem, press 2 if you are calling customer service press 3 if you are calling billing YEEGADS!
...broadcast from stadiums with corporate names like the Fedex Stadium. Also I hate when stadiums keep changing their names with each new owner. I can't even remember what Dolphins Stadium is called anymore. I, like most other folks down here, continue to call it Dolphins Stadium.
The word "cinnamon." For some reason I just can't pronounce it. Oh, and also the word, "particularly." Another word I have problems pronouncing.
The Navy broke me of that habit. I used to wear a ball cap everywhere. Now I feel uncomfortable to be "covered" indoors and instinctively remove my hat as soon as I cross through the door.
