Very very loud and through rattly speakers. Always makes that expensive, powerful sound system sound cheap'n'cheesy, whether you're playing that dumbass hip hop "music" or not.

You can't choose who you're related to, but you have absolute power over who you associate with.

People that "suck up" to the boss and get away with little or no production.

People that appear to be orchestrating takeovers of third world countries via ATM machine- hurry the heck up!

People who wear clothes that are incredibly unflattering for their body type- "Just because it comes in your size, honey, doesn't mean you should wear it!"

People who say "like" every other word (my daughter)

People who get on a crowded elevator with last night's party still on their breath- gag!

Sales reps calling with Indian accents (obviously from Mumbai) claiming to be John Smith or Dave Jones

spit on the sidewalk

people who wear too much perfume/cologne

young ladies who come to work with their "tramp stamp" showing

the alarm clock at 5 a.m.

the 10 lbs I can't seem to get off my lard ass

It bugs me when reputable news organizations screw up like this.
With her, it was probably really hard to tell the difference.

As for my own list ... I don't think that the entire internet has sufficient server space.
