Pet Peeves

Mine are:

1) having to re-do something finished or nearly finished - the worst is when it is something creative.

2) spending time with someone who is too distracted with text messages or emails constantly arriving on their cell/mobile phone. I made the effort to physically be present to do something with you, the least you could do is give me more attention than the phone. Actually a number of things about the mobile communication culture annoy me.

3) drivers who refuse to get in line at a traffic backup and wait until that last possible second to merge. The worst are those who try to ride the should for as far as they can. Those are obviously "special" people whose time is much more important than the rest of us. Edit: I'll expand this to Phil's peeve regarding basic courtesy and waiting your turn.

i know how this sounds but what about having to re do a part of a video game because of a ctd or a corrupted save. i cant say how much that bothers me.

This. So annoying. I'm surprised I haven't thrown someone's blackberry into traffic yet.

Even worse are those the slow ones that drive right beside a car in the right lane, therefore blocking all traffic. Usually performing this act with cellphone attached to ear. My life for a short range jamming device. And a plow blade. And front-mounted 40mm guns.
