I hate slow drivers. Most in town roads are 25, but their is one that is 35 near me, but it seems like nobody is aware of it, even after they pass the sign saying 35 mph. Nothing drives me crazier than people driving below the speed limit.
Red light rollers. Those people who slowly roll forward at red lights in anticipation of the light turning green as if getting across the intersection 20 milliseconds faster will make a difference in their day. I once watched a rube roll completely past the stop bar and into the intersection while hunched over the wheel and craning his neck up to see the light - all the while oblivious to other cars having to steer around him.

Trivial things that annoy me.
It may or may not be trivial, but what is really annoying me lately is how web pages jump up and down as they load and unload graphics. It's getting to where I can't read some articles unless I copy and paste them into a text editor like Notepad. And sometimes, I can't even scroll up or down, the page is so busy reading the cookies on my hard drive and loading ads for things I may have looked at, like golf clubs or screen doors, that it just sits there frozen.
The thing is, some of these web pages never finish. You think, okay, it's finished loading the ads and other graphics, so I will start reading the article, but then, it's like, okay, we showed you some golf clubs, now we're going to remove that ad and show you some power tools. So the text suddenly jumps up and down again, and settles into a different layout, and you have to hunt for where you were reading when it jumped.
I'm thinking I need to install some sort of browser extension that will load only text.

You mean something like Adblock Plus which every sane person has installed on their browser?

No, I mean something like Textize for Firefox, which I have now installed and works great. I'm not trying to block ads, I'm trying to block ALL graphics so I can just read the text.

Don't fall for it!!! Everyone knows the real big money comes from Nigeria!!!
Quote:People who are incompetent at work, who get away with pretty much every bad decision or mistake that they make.
All because they're friends with the boss.
This is my husband's pet peeve to the nth degree. Also, most of the guys at his place of work are 2-5 years away from retirement and don't do half the work they're supposed to. They leave it all for him to do because they know he'll do it, and not because he's trying to get in good with anyone, but because he has an actual work ethic and the stuff HAS to get done. You can't let too much go at a wastewater plant before things get ugly.
The newly promoted manager won't do anything about it because he was one of the guys who used to a half [BLEEP] job
and got promoted because he is buddy-buddy with the boss. These jackholes won't get fired nor reprimanded because they have too much leverage on the manager.
People who mosey through the green light as if there were nobody behind them who would also like to make it through this green light. Sometimes they will let the car in front of them get 4 car lengths ahead.

I know exactly how he feels.. The problem is, us minions pick up the slackers work, if we don't, the work doesn't get done and WE get the disciplinary treatment. Surely the disciplinary treatment should be thrown at those who DON'T do their work?!!
So I'm going to a doctor's appointment at lunch. I'm going over the Buckman and the guy in the far right lane is going 45. 45!! And the guy in the next lane over is going 50.
I had to resurrect this thread to express an annoyance of mine I'm sure other golfers on here will whole-heartedly agree with:
Cigarette and cigar butts thrown on the golf course. There are enough butts out there already, let's not make it worse.
Love this thread, although too much annoys me these days..

I never understood how anyone thinks it's acceptable to just toss those things to the ground...or even worse, throw lit ones out the car window like its no big deal!!

And especially where it's so conspicuous, like on the fringes of a manicured golf green. It brings out my inner Yosemite Sam.
