Louis And adding to that: Getting the automated message where you HAVE TO PRESS "1" or whatever to get ENGLISH!!! Usually at the very start of the call, and the option message is already in English!! Screw the people who can't speak English, make THEM have to choose!! Another thing is people who don't return calls when they say they're going to...  |  IP: Logged Todd McCracken Master Film Handler Posts: 263 From: Northridge, CA, USA Registered: Mar 2008 posted 08-27-2009 04:27 PM                    Cold Fries from McDonalds, that and a certain distributor that will remain unnamed.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 08-27-2009 04:43 PM                     Voicemail.  |  IP: Logged Hillary Charles Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 748 From: York, PA, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 08-27-2009 04:55 PM                     Drivers who forgot how to use their turn signals.  |  IP: Logged Luke Anderson Film Handler Posts: 25 From: Spokane, Wa Unites States Registered: Jun 2009 posted 08-27-2009 06:12 PM                    Being stuck at a red light when no traffic is going through the green light direction of the intersection. Don't we have better technology then this. Business' that leave their open sign on all night when they closed at 5pm or such.

Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 08-27-2009 11:23 PM                     What makes me go insane? Cowardly drivers who come to a dead stop at the end of a superhighway on ramp. It's always loads of exciting fun when that on ramp is a long curving one where you can't see what's coming up ahead of you -such as some one PARKED in the fucking acceleration lane! I have a general level of disdain toward anyone using a cell phone hand set while driving. That disdain is exchanged for pure hatred for the reckless jerks who text while driving. My response to those who want to be able to text while driving: fuck you, you're going to kill someone doing that. Might as well drink a fifth of Wild Turkey or smoke a bowl and then get behind the wheel. Same damned thing. A few months ago I saw some asshole driving a Honda Civic, using his knees to steer the car while he used both hands to thumb a text message into his phone. Man. If only I had a 2 million candle power spot light handy at that time. I swear I would have shined that bastard right into that dude's car. Let some Close Encounters level of intense light disrupt his texting activity and get him involved in a new activity: screaming as his car heads into a light pole!  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-28-2009 12:54 AM                        I hate when you go into a restaurant to eat, order an item that could need ketchup or mustard, and then the server brings the food but you still don't have any condiments, so you ask for them, then your food is sitting there getting cold while the damn server takes forever to bring the condiments.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 08-28-2009 03:47 AM                     You're in a drive through at a famous "Choke and Puke" fast food eatery at night, and some douchbag in a SUV, or high-wheeled "don't scratch my truck, or I'll cry to mommy" 4x4 that you know has never seen any dirt trails, doesn't have the decency to turn off his lights when he's behind a CAR that rides much lower than his SUV and you have to reangle your mirrors so his bright lights don't blind you. Course, I take care of that sometimes: if he's high enough. I can angle a mirror to get him right back in the face with his own lights...or hit him with a spot light. -Monte  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 08-28-2009 04:21 AM                        From a list on my website: --Going to sleep --Waking up --Dandelions --Stupidity --Fake boobs --People smoking anywhere near me (this includes any kind of smoke, not just cigs) --Cheap asphalt --Any and all Apple iApps (such as iTunes, iMovie, etc) --People in public who don't seem to realize that there are other people besides them who may need to navigate by/around them --PETA --People who cannot spell "definitely" correctly --Interlacing --Cowboy hats --50Hz (the refresh rate, not the audio frequency) --Composite video --Constipation --WMV & WMA formats --People who drive under the speed limit --The sun --Lossy audio compression, like MP3 --All MPEG video or any compression scheme that uses interframes --People who stretch 4:3 video to fit a 16:9 screen --Wasps, hornets & yellowjackets --Flies --Explosions without a death toll --Gnats --Mosquitoes --Dog slobber --Parallel ports --Sunburns --Carls Jr commercials --Celery --Power Point --Excel --Dust --People who spend time looking for a close parking space --Optical media burned at too high of a speed --Static electricity --Geese --Shipping via UPS --Those lame AIDS/Breast Cancer ribbons (they won't help cure you or anyone else) --Command prompts --Those who have no respect for punctuality --Apple/MicroSoft updates breaking more than they fix --Sticker residue --Bose --Real Player/Media --Soccer, baseball and other sports where excitement is extremely rare --Home theaters in a box --Zapf Dingbats, Webdings and other retarded non-fonts --Audio clipping (levels, not content) --Long-sleeved shirts --Circuit City --Interpolated frames on 120Hz TVs --Firecrackers --Automatic transmissions --Blind faith --Buildings less than 100 stories tall --Thin walls --Dolby "A"-Type --Knowing that there is a project that I have not yet completed --Those lame "tramp stamp" tattoos on the small of the back (right above the ass) that almost every female my age and under seems to have --Books that are fiction --Being offered countless warranties and miscellaneous "reward zone" nonsense when being rung up by a cashier --College sports --2001: A Space Odyssey (watching turds flush is more entertaining... and has better editing) --Sand.
