c. Movie talkers/loud people in public.
d. Bad drivers.
e. Tim Burton movies.
f. My redneck neighbors. Oh the stories I could tell.
g. Loud car stereos.
h. Bad tippers. I'm the cheapest person I know, but I tip very well. Even lackluster service will get 10 to 15%. You are NOT entitled to have your boots licked by wait staff simply because you have arrived.
i. Rudeness. There is simply no excuse.. ever.
j. People who do not control their children in public. I raised two kids. It isn't that difficult.
k. People on the internet who apparently get immense feelings of superiority by correcting other people's misspellings or grammar.
I could go on and on. In a few years, I'll be on the rocker on the front porch screaming at kids on my lawn.... instead of standing on it and yelling at them like I do now...
I loved this list. I share 100% of these as well. ESPECIALLY b and j!!!
Speaking of redneck neighbors....I have the Clampetts themselves living across the street from me. First of all, last halloween they put a lifesize cross out in their front yard, covered it in blood, and hung a noose from it and left it there well past Oct 31 (I dont care who you are or what you believe, you don't put a bloody cross out in your yard ever. Have a little respect). They also lit the neighbors yard on fire in order to kill a bee because the bee stung the kid that live in the redneck house...oh, they spray painted their pick up truck in camo and they made a wind chime out of beer cans and hung it outside on their porch...
tell me about your redneck neighbors! I love those stories. They make me laugh.

If someone wnats to learn something I can teach, I'll teach what I can, guess that's why I'm a cub leader and bushcraft instructor.
I dont think Ive ever met anyone like that. Ive only met people who love to prove that they know more than you at any chace they have.

I agree with that too. Or people who dont hold the door open for yuo when you are walking into a building right behind them.
