    People who are to stupid to even associate with. I get frustrated because I know they are idiots and if I get this strong urge to tell them. I wish I lived in a world where idiots were whiped out.

    Another thing is the word 'feduciary'. I can't f4cken stand it when people use that word, it angres me beyond anything!

    Ever heard anyone in the office ask for statistics for “physical year 2004”?

    Not calendar year or fiscal year but physical year. Ay caramba.

    People who try to be smart using terms from other languages but make terrible mistakes. Like CA in RTW -- 'Vae victus'. GAH!!!

    I really hate it when people throw their ciggy butts out the car window.

    I wish I lived in a world where idiots were whiped out.

    I assume that you meant 'wiped'

    I'm tempted tosay that doesn't qualify for this thread, as it's not a small thing, given the destruction fires caused by cigarette buts can cause.

    People who don't understand science trying to use it to support their social/political agenda.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.
