If you're a man, and a woman asks you how she looks, you're in big trouble. Obviously, you can't say she looks bad. But you also can't say that she looks great, because she'll think you're lying, because she has spent countless hours, with the help of the multibillion-dollar beauty industry, obsessing about the differences between herself and Cindy Crawford. Also, she suspects that you're not qualified to judge anybody's appearance. This is because you have shaving cream in your hair.

I loathe people who yell Thanks when I don't hold the door for them. Do I look like a f#**ing doorman to you? If you're not right there I'm not holding it for you.

I also loathe the people who when you hold the door open for them go for the other door I'm not holding. I'm just trying to be nice, a&%hole!

As soon as it is warm enough, my sandals come out and don't go away until it snows.
I gotta agree with you here. I absolutely hate socks. And full shoes, for that matter. Living in a mild climate allows me to wear flip flops or birks almost constantly, but even when I'm in Calgary I'll occasionally wear sandals in the snow. I can't help it!

I also hate arrogance.

I'll add to this.

People on the train who get up to get off three minutes before their stop and try to push past you.
- Where do you expect me to move to?

People who stand in the doorway when the train is clearly full, expecting to get on.
- Is it really so draining on your schedule to wait five minutes for the next train that you have to hold everyone else up?

Oh yes. And people who hold the doors open so their buddy can spend 10 minutes printing out 5 tickets for them and all their friends.

People who wrap themselves around the pole on a full train so no one else can hold on...
-When I fall over into you, don't give me a dirty look because you wouldn't let me hold on... and you'd better not use it as an excuse to cop a feel either or I'll knock your inconsiderate ass out.

I absolutely hate when some jerk cuts me off, only to slow down to 15km under the speed limit.

I also absolutely hate people who cut in front of me close to a red light when I am pulling my trailer. I start braking that far back because I need the time and space. Don't be surprised to see my 2500HD up your ass when you do cut me off.

It is draining on my schedule to stand there like a schlub waiting for the next train and then the next one, especially when I can see some guy standing in the middle of the aisle with enough room to read the Herald. Move in people!

I loathe people that go through a door and stop immediately on the other side of the doorway to decide where they are going...

Similarly, when people stop one step after getting off the escalator.. to decide where to go..

PREPARE TO TAKE A RIDE ON THE JBR TRAIN.. I don't stop.

Yeah, I hate those blated things. The most annoying part of any sporting event, almost as bas as Canuck fans at the dome.

Well that's the other side of it. I was talking about when the train is absolutely packed and there is no room to move in and some idiot stands with his foot in the doorway and a determined look on his face.

Stampede week when the train was beyond full, this asshat women tried to cram her way on. After pushing by all the people who accepted that they were not going to get on this train, she puts one foot in the train but, because the train was so packed she was unable to get both feet in, let alone her hockey bag sized purse. So instead of accepting to wait she just stood there as if the train was going to move with her not even half in it. It took 2 announcements over the trains intercom before she clued in that it was her holding up the train.

Celebrity gossip TV shows and magazines. It baffles me how people care so much about every little detail of other peoples lives. Who gives a hoot what Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie bought their kid for breakfast? It's infuriating.

Slow moving people. Sidewalks are like roads... the fast lane is on the left. Don't stop in the middle, or walk slow on the left. Get out of the way! I have better places to be than stuck behind your slow-moving ass!

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.
Quoted for truth.
