alternatively, you could stop wearing clothes entirely.

China-- where did I mention education? I was commenting strictly on the age aspect of your post. I was under the misapprehension that you were older than 30 though, so thanks for the correction there. Misunderstanding on my part, for sure.
Oh, and likewise
Keep on trucking good buddy!

right of access to walk across fields you have animals in with their dogs unleashed and then give you abuse for your bull charging at them, then try and have the police arrest you for it. LEARN TO FUCKING READ.Big signs all over the place. WTF do these people expect a bull to do when you have yappie dogs run at them, pull a fiddle from its arse and start singing happy songs. don't think so.
Now that I'm back to working part-time, on the days when I'm out of the office it's pretty understandable that people will be coming in to my office to put things on my desk, write me little post-it notes of phone messages and stuff.
But do they have to completely MESS UP MY DESK every time?!?!? If you take ONE look at my desk, and the neat state I always keep it in, it is ABUNDANTLY CLEAR that everything has it's right place and I maintain an extremely tidy desk. What makes people think that it's acceptable to come in and leave things all over the middle of my desk, e.g. stapler, box of postage stamps, post-it pads, scissors. Every time I come back in to the office after a couple of days off my desk looks like a bomb hit it! (slight exaggeration but you can imagine...) SO RUDE!!

^ N3o, that would frustrated me, too.
When you're stopped at a red light and the person gets within INCHES of your bumper. Come on, is that REALLY necessary? If you get rear-ended, you're going right into me. (And before anyone asks, at a minimum I leave enough space between the car in front of me to see where the tires meet the ground. Normally I leave much more.

Arggh annoying. I have a similar problem at my work, except with mine, people leave random stuff on my desk/in my office to 'take care of' - but never leave a note - I have to run around the whole place trying to figure out who put it there and why!
^^ Yes that is immensely rude!
Oh definitely!! People being too close to the back of my car pisses me off regardless of where it occurs. So unnecessary!
Or, on the other hand (and I know this one has been mentioned somewhere before), when the person in the front of the queue at the lights doesn't stop close enough to the white line so it doesn't actually set off the sensor for the lights to change.....so then you're waiting and waiting and waiting for like 5 minutes for the light to turn green. Come on!! Are people really that stupid?? :D

^ Hahaha, I concur. Unfortunately people are that stupid.
Got another one for ya that's probably been mentioned in the 20 pages of this thread, but I feel it's important enough to reiterate:
People who say they "could care less." If you could care less, that means you still care! Saying you "could not care less" means that you do not care.
I've heard three people (two over the age of 30) in the past week say that they "could care less" and have corrected them on it--And they gave off the impression that they "could care less" about the correct phrase. 8)

^+1 on that, I dont know how so many people dont realize that it doesnt even make sense when they use it that way... at least not in the way they intend for it to make sense.

^ lol OK this is becoming a pet peeve of mine as well. I used to think the same thing you guys did. I've just come to accept that this is a common idiom. I'm sure if most really thought about it they would come to the conclusion that they couldn't care less about saying it the right way and would continue to say it the same way.
