h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I hate it when people think that they don't have an accent. For instance a recent message I replied to was about whether other people pick up an accent from TV. She was talking about it in the sense of it being something that happens to 'people who don't have an accent' (This would mean they have an American accent.)

...people who yell into their cell phones in a dorm hallway at 10:30 at night... ("but daydeee, I lurrrrrrve heyim!")

...people who refuse to learn the difference between your and you're and there, their, and they're. And who start sentences with the word "however"...people who put commas in blatantly wrong places, and people who use more than 4 points of ellipses in a row...

... people who think that just cause I'm a musician that means I can just perform on demand (ever heard of preparation, people? Like, you know, *buying* appropriate music and then practicing it?)...

... people who think that just cause I'm a writer that means I just randomly write stuff and that I can write something "for them".

Bigots of any kind, and people who are absolutely and utterly convinced that they're right, always get me coughing and spluttering with inarticulate rage ... and it doesn't matter if I happen to think they are right or not

I....hate....paying somebody for some stupid object then having to spend an hour removing the god d*mned sticker from it, or worse yet, the gummy crap that is left behind...!!!!

People who crowd in front of the door of a bus they want to get on, but don't let you leave this bus by doing so...

Those sinks that they wash your hair in at the hair dressers - could they make them any more uncompfotable.

People who live in the past.

"When people who stand at the top of escalators compleatly blocking it."

"I will warn some one to give you water as long as do not keep on rooting here!"
