While I'm confident there are more, this should suffice for now. In no order other than that in which I thought of them:
- People who can't drive through a traffic circle properly. Don't STOP in the middle of your lap.
- People who can't merge onto the highway. Please be up to speed by the end of the ramp.
- Overbearing politicians who can't let us live our own lives. I'm talking to you, trans-fat, outdoor smoking bill writer.
- People who use the word "disorientate".
- People who get a news camera in front of them and feel the need to use Law and Order talk - "At this point time, the perpetrator was apprehended." No, you caught the suspect. End of story.
- People who say "whenever" when they should only say "when". As in, "I remember whenever I apprehended the perpetrator."
- People who don't know the difference between singular and plural. A board can not be "ten foot long."
- FREEBEER - when he says "Would've you done it that way originally?" It should be "WOULD YOU HAVE..." Not "Would have you..."
- People who hate a song/poem because it doesn't rhyme. It doesn't have to. Also, there's a literary tool called a "forced rhyme". It doesn't have to be EXACT.
- People who discredit something as art because they think anyone can do it. Let's be honest, you can't.
EDIT:
- People who say "alls". "Alls I want is ice cream."
- People who don't know what to do when you get to an intersection and the light is out. That's supposed to be treated as a 4-way stop. Don't just blow through the light. One of these days I'm going to just pull out so you hit me.
