I absolutely LOATHE "_________!"

[Frank the Tank]

Fill in the blank.

For big Frank? Its simple really. Socks. I HATE socks. If it were socially acceptable, I would never where the sweat-inducing abomination that is the modern day sock. My wife makes fun of me, because as soon as I am home, they get flung off of my feet and I am barefoot from then on. As soon as it is warm enough, my sandals come out and don't go away until it snows.

When people talk to me when I am on the Phone with another person!

[Kool Keef]

I absolutely loathe talking on the phone.

Be it personal or business I despise it. I much prefer to deal with people I can see, in fact, when ordering out -- I go to the take out place, order it in person and then just wait for my food.

If it wasn't for email, I don't think I'd ever contact my relatives. Well, I make the effort for my parents.

It's a sickness, I know.

[604flames]

People who don't hold the door open for you in public places (mall, Starbucks, etc).. I always yell Thanks to them as they walk away..

Honourable mention to people who talk on their cellphones while paying for things at the store.

[SportsJunky]

Pretentious ######s walking around with their Bluetooth headset. Take it off superstars it looks amazingly silly anywhere except in your car.

George Carlin said it best about hands=free headsets.....

- "Hey spaceman, while your hands are free, why don't you come over here and fondle my *****, would ya please?"

lol...

[rubecube]

People who stop in the middle of the road to talk to someone they know in another car.

[JiriHrdina]

Voice mail.

Hate it. Just hate it.

Awesome. The whole headset thing is up there on my list. I see people at the grocery store with them in and I just want to slap them off of their heads.

[Ozy_Flame]

I loathe when people PATRONIZE me. Man, that drives me nuts. Get out of my face you pretentious scumbag before I lodge my heel into your head!

[Mango]

People without manners. There's a reason our parents taught us to say "please", "thank you", and "you're welcome". It comes down to common curiosity and as mentioned above, just holding the door open for a person goes a long way.

[sadora]

Pretentious people and GAP....for everything that the store represents.

[PsYcNeT]

I absolutely loathe people who add an 's' of ownership to the names of places and stores

ie "Let's go to (the) Wal-Mart's to get that patio chair'

or

"How about grabbing a coffee at Second Cup's?"

Drives me nuts (on a completely superficial level of course)

Of course, people are exempt from this if they are ESL

Automated telephone services.

[Burninator]

People on the train who stand in front of the doors.
-If you're not getting off, move or risk getting punched in the back of the head.

People on the train who don't take off their back packs and bash into everyone with them.
-Why are you bringing your hiking back pack to work you putz?

People on the train who talk way too loud on their phone.
-Everyone on the train doesn't care about your boring day. And I am sure the person on the other end of the phone doesn't either.

People on the train who listen to their iPod way too loud.
-Spare the world some sympathy and don't punish us by blasting your crappy emo music.

People on the train who lack basic hygiene.
-A shower and deodorant go a long way and that curry, garlic, onion and salami sandwich at lunch was a bad idea. Also don't bring the winter coat to work with you next time in the middle of summer. The heat radiating off of you is melting the paint on the train.

People on the train who talk to me.
-No, you can't have any change.

[Dion]

No more bathroom attendants. After I zip up, some guy is offering me a towel
and a mint like I just had sex with George Michael. I can't even tell if
he's supposed to be there, or just some freak with a fetish. I don't want to
be on your web cam, dude. I just want to wash my hands.

LOL. That's exactly what I was just about to say... Rogers is a prime example of this... "Hello! Please tell me what you are calling about!"

Feel like a complete ass talking to some recorded message... uggh.

###. Tried to order the last Flames PPV through Bell and the number provided that I called had me on hold for 45 minutes (no joke) and then the person told me I have to phone a different number. Phoned the other number and it was all automated and wouldn't understand my # to order so I couldn't get the game. No one to talk to, talk about the new means of consumption.

High on my list would be studying for finals, writing papers and Canucks fans.
