Wow, so many things make me angry and a lot of them are already posted above. Stupid people. There are SO many of them and society is always brought down to the level of the dumbest person. I hate that. Stuff like the "Hot! Be Careful" warning on my cup of Timmy's. Really? You don't say? My coffee is hot? Wow. I never knew.
Most recently....there are some nice three-story walk-ups at the end of my street and they must be hard-up to fill them because a couple of groups of 19 year old arse-clowns moved in. Now I don't care because they are young, except that they drive down my street at about 80 km/h in their tricked out Honda Civics with the Mack-daddy mufflers. (another pet peeve) Now, we just had a kid, all of our neighbors have kids (young kids) who all play together, so the last thing I want is people racing down my street. Last week I managed to corner one of the speeders and just asked him to take it easy while going down the street because of all the kids and really, whats the point of going 85 down a quiet residential street? He gave me a bunch of lip and basically told me not to worry about how they were driving. So now I'm really angry. A couple of days later I'm out at the end of my driveway cleaning out my shop-vac with the garden hose and said arse-clown turns the corner at about 70, sees me and proceeds to speed up. Now somehow, just as he gets to me, I lose control of my garden hose due to the massive force of the water shooting through  , and it ends up pointing towards the street and soaks him and his girlfriend as they drive by with the windows down. He slams on the brakes and starts yelling at me, so I drop the hose and take a few steps toward the "Fast and the Furious" wannabe and politely ask him to exit his vehicle and settle it with Mr. Left and Mr. Right or shut the hell up and keep going. He put it in gear and kept going. There are some distinct advantages to being 6' 2" and 245 lbs.

That is the kind of story I love to hear, someone who gets p*ssed off and does something about it. Has your 'neighbour' gotten the point yet? I hope it doesn't take him hitting some little kid or someones pet to figure it out.
