Market sellers who won't just let you 
ing browse for a few minutes, but come up and hassle you.......
Word of advice to their ilk.....I AM NOT going to buy anything you stand over me and comment on everything I take the slightest little bit of interest in. It bugs me rotten and will only make me wander away feeling narked...

When you are asked can I help you immediately you have walked up to a counter and have obviously just that second started to study a menu of 1000 varieties of coffee or food and feel rushed into chosing because they are just standing there waiting.

Patsy said>>People who pick you up on grammer without reading the backlog and realising that you're dyslexic.
Forgive, please, but maybe I'm wrong. Being dyslexic doesn't mean that your grammer doesn't have to be right. I thought it meant that you mix up letters and words. If I am incorrect on this, and it is a problem with grammer, as well, then I humbly apologize.
As far as Bill Gates being the Antichrist, I was not following a cult trend. When I worked for Apple computer I *began* the trend.

People who use the local library net facilities (as I do) to download and use chat applets, then go on them for hours saying nothing but 'ur y' and 'I want 2 chat with a ' forcing everyone else in the place to wait an eternity to download anything.
Bandwidth-r*ping sh*teaters

also, the utterly arbitrary swear filter. That should have read 'ur s e x y' and 'I want 2 chat with a c h i c k'.

Some generic products are mainly recognised by trade names (such as Hoover or Biro). This probably evolved purely by chance. It makes me angry when companies contrive to make their product name become a generic term, by using it that way in adverts and in product-placements.
Eg: "pass me a kleenex" in movies.

The people in my halls of residence who:
Always play their drum and bass at 2 in the morning at full volume.
Seem to not understand that at uni their mum is are no longer around to do their washing up for them.
Who walk around outside screaming and yelling at 2 in themoring for no reason what so ever.
I also hate those questionaire people who hang around town centers with clipboards, "No I have not had an accident in the last 3 years, but you will if you don't off."
And again those kids who pretend to be into alternative\metal just to be cool and say things like "we're individuals" (had me laughing all day).
Ah, feel much better now

Ridiculous Chicken†- a very absurd little bird Posted Feb 2, 2003
I've just been reminded of my ultimate petty hate by a TV commercial:
CLOWNS.
Need I explain? Nothing I can say can add to the HORROR of the above word. They are truly grotesque.

Just Children's TV presenters in general.
Why is it the blokes are always obviously gay, and the women are obviously mentally deficient in some way?
