Anna Nicole Smith
Why is everyone talking still talking about this woman? She died over 2 months ago and it's not like she lived a virtuous life or anything, in fact quite the opposite. Let me sum this supposedly "high press" womans life.
-Becomes Stripper
-Poses in Playboy
-Marries old rich guy and fills gold digger stereotype
-Collects olds guys money with big court case
-Gets fat
-Acts like a moron on her own reality show
-Loses weight
-Acts like a moron on other peoples shows
-Dies
If I am missing something about this womans life that is worthy of her getting so much press? Is so please feel free to tell me. I mean she didn't even know who the father of her baby was because she was sleeping with so many men. When I am able to start flipping through the channels and not seeing her face on the screen I'll be happier, and possibly less bitter. Till then I will continue my assault on useless Hollywood news.

People who stand and gawk in the most inconvenient place possible. In Groups. In the middle of an isle of a store, or sidewalk, or whatever.
People who don't say thank you for holding the door open for them.
And you yokels in Chestermere who haven't realized that the speed limit on 17th Ave has been raised a bit since you bought your first horse. Yes, I'm going to pass you, it's not illegal, stop looking like I just killed your last horse.

I loathe inconvenient coincidences.
Example:
I'f I'm parking my car in the driveway at 2:30 in the morning, there's always some grandma who slowly walks down the sidewalk right where I need to drive. At 2:30 in the morning, you should be in bed, not going for a walk. And most importantly, why ME at MY DRIVEWAY at THAT POINT IN TIME? I hate that.
Example 2:
At work, if I need to use the microwave, of course I'm the one who has to get stuck behind the guy that needs to heat his lunch in there for 47 minutes.
I hate that.
Bitter? Yes. I'll answer that now.

Oh, I've got one.
I hate the jackasses who stop and stand in the middle of obvious throughways at the Saddledome because they felt the need to speak gibberish and spill their drink everywhere while blocking everyone else's way.

Oh man you would HATE me. I was the kid who was late for school EVERY day because on the way I found a neat rock. Then a neat stick. Then stopped to pet the neighbours dog. Then a plane flew by so I had to watch it. I'm still like this today. Drives my wife insane.
True story. We have a variety store at the end of our street and around the corner. It took my son and I 50 minutes to walk there, buy a pop, and walk home.

Wouldn't hate you, just push you out of the way and move on.  There are times for lallygagging and stopping to smell the roses. I do it too once in a while. I, however, do it on the right had side of the sidewalk so that the fast moving people can get by. Malls are the worst for this.
FEET SHUFFLERS! OMG! Pick your damn feet up you lazy bugger! I used to get a cuff on the back of my head if I shuffled my feet. I know now why my mother was so adamant that I pick them up.

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

It depends how long the wait is for the person.
Atractive females get a longer wait, no more than 5 seconds though.
If I am athletic enough to open a door myself then everyone else should be as well.

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.

Agree X6 - although thannkfully I no longer take the train and can walk.

Smoking.
Drivers who roll through stop signs and then glare at me as I nearly take out their front end doing a left hand turn.
And firefly, I'm with you - I detest lollygaggers on the sidewalk too. If you see something in a window you want to look at, move off to the side, don't just stop in the middle of the sidewalk!
Oh and Flames "fans" who decide to leave the game with 5 minutes to go. And ones who decide it's okay to shout obcenities when there are kids all around them.
Aaaah.... I feel better now.

OH! Another good one! People with strollers who take up the entire bus so you can't move past them, and/or people who congregate at the entrance to the bus. If you have groceries or something on wheel well up there, fine, but move to the side when I want to get by you. If you're just too lazy to go to the back of the bus, don't glare at me when I 'accidentally' elbow you on my way by! You could just move!

Should have qualified that...
I meant when you're right there about to open it yourself, can't be more than two steps away, don't wanna make anyone look/feel like a (insert expletive here) doorman

I always hold the door for people. If there are two sets of doors and you don't say thank you to me for holding the first door, the second one is coming right for your nose.

Ah, the things I loathe:
People who chew with their mouths open: I don't want to see OR hear what you're eating, thanks. Chew with your damn mouth closed! And don't under any circumstances, come into my office chewing a wad of gum like a cow, and expect me to talk to you. Beat it, until you're done eating, and then come back and talk to me like a normal human being and not a female neanderthal (neanderthal-ette?)
Slow drivers: I don't ask that you go 100 when the sign says 80. I don't even ask that you go 90. All I ask is that you get up to a minimum speed of 80 and stay there. If I then choose to pass you because I have the option to go a little bit faster, then fine. I'm convinced that half of Calgary's traffic problems would be cured by people actually driving like they're going someplace. And pleeeeease, learn to merge. If you're moving on to the Deerfoot, you should be doing 100 by the time you hit the end of that merge lane.

1. Drunk drivers. No need to take lives of innocent people because you felt the urge to have too many beers and step behind the wheel. I lost my girlfriend that way and it just makes my blood boil when I see or hear about someone who steps behind the wheel who has been drinking.
2. Violence. Can't stand people who are violent. Better way to solve issues then to pull out a gun/knife and hurt an innocent person. Things like what happened yesterday in Virginia Tech piss me right off.
3. People with no manners in general. No need to be a prick and start yelling. You are not helping the situation at all.
4. People who walk so slow in front of you on a narrow sidewalk. You are not 90 years old and the people who follow "slow and steady wins the race" need not apply.
5. Having to wait for someone. If I said 9:00 don't show up at 9:30. I'm there for a reason at 9:00. Call and let me know you will be late.
