Obviously, you don't teach my students. There are some who it would be awe inspiring if they completed work.
People who whine, constantly. "why" is their favorite word.

It's only mundane to those who are not used to getting A+'s on their book reports. For me, this would not be awesome. ;)
I've been thinking about the word "love" lately, and its overuse. I'm guilty of it too, and trying to reserve it for only those really special moments. Like when I'm enjoying some brie & french bread. ;) Yes. I do taste good on bread.

Ready for a RR shocker? Front page news? I'm ashamed, but... <snip> I HATE "FUBBY". Hate it. Every time I see it in print I cringe. :shrug: Hey, you said it was amnesty!:1: And I'm not too fond of that jumping marshmallow either. :P
I hate it when people call a turn signal a "directional."
I hate it when someone sends out an email at work telling people to use proper grammar and spelling... and the email contains errors.
I hate people in general.
I hate the fact that people are too cowardly to say how they feel.
Ants. The entire colony that is invading my home.
I hate the smell of pesticide.
I hate being lazy, I hate apathy, and I hate having no motivation.
And I hate this thread.

How can anyone hate this lovable little pile of fluff?

People who stared at Abby when I would push her in her coach, when she was on her ventilator.
people who immediately say "you stopped me only because..."
people who make excuses for everything.
people who drive below the speed limit.

People who cannot conjugate the verb "to be" really bother me.
People who end sentences with prepositions annoy me.
Actually, anything grammatically incorrect perturbs me.
It's a little different if English is your second language and you are making a concerted effort. When you only speak one language, and it's "American" not English, at least make certain you can converse at a somewhat intelligent level.

People that show up for races with headphones, baby joggers, or pets - even though the entry form clearly states they are not allowed.
Race directors that don't enforce it.
People that line up at the front and toe the line that have never finished in the top 25% of a race ever in their life.
Race directors that don't enforce it.
Small profile race awards ceremonies that don't start until 2 hours after the last person finishes.
When you get screwed out of 3 or 4 seconds on your official time because there are not enough timers and/or too many people in the chute.
Race bandits that eat the food.
Oh, and all reality based TV programming.

Bullies.
know-it-friggin'-alls irk me.
politicians irk me too.
people who drive to close to my rearend really irk me
feeling rushed irks me
the word irk kinda irks me too.
:puke:
Why, because they don't generate any revenue? Hard to meet your quotas that way?
Interesting point on the speed limit thing. Coming from the northern part of the US to the southern, the "norm" is definitely different. In PA, (especially Philly) turnpike cops will blow by you when you're going 95. Same in Chicago/Ohio, et al.
Down here, you go the speed limit or below. The speed limit is 45, so cruise control is your best friend. I know people who have gotten tickets for going 3 miles over. The police have nothing else to do down here other than break up fights between the volunteer firemen and the Coast Guard at the local bar. (No, I am NOT making that last part up. Once a week, right down the block, it's the firemen and the CG, or the cops and the firemen, or the cops and the CG. If I could predict the evening of said event, I would make a fortune selling tickets, popcorn, and taking bets. They all get drunk and fight. no joke. )

People who put another region of the country or world down by calling it a stupid name.
Ok, one more thing than irks me more than the grammatical offenses.
Racial slurs.
Just because someone cut you off in traffic/pissed you off somehow/whatever, does NOT mean that you need to modify your use of a-hole/jackass/whatever with a precedent racial slur. That's not appropriate, ever. It simply displays ignorance and intolerance.

The next time I'm doing 95 (mph?) here in Ohio, I'll keep my eyes on my rearview mirror. I'd hate to be in the passing lane when a Ohio Highway Patrol vehicle wanted to pass me...or blow by me. (What would that make their speed...105, 110 mph?)
Interesting observation, though. I've driven from Ohio to Florida and the speed limit on the interstate gets higher the farther south you go.
