Things that I hate
the 405. it sucks. especially between the 90 and the 10 where they are doing construction. this is only three miles long but they have been working on it for three years now. pathetic. They have a tiny crew work on one random section of the stretch a day then they switch randomly to another section, so no day to day progress if visible. great way for the construction crew to stretch out their contract as long as they possibly can.
People who think driving faster than the speed limit is a great idea when there's a red light and a line of ten cars stopped at the light only 100 ft ahead. or people who tailgate you when you're simply coasting up (rather than accelerating into) to said red light and line of stopped cars

So, Lone Star, now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb.
Which reminds me: Fairfax ave. I take it to work. it should theoretically be four lanes all the way. But NOOOOOO... it has to be two lanes in portions because of a stupid five block long residential district, followed by two blocks of apartments followed by two blocks of little ethiopia restaurants/shops. And they can't give up street parking in those sections for political reasons. Nevermind that it's a major thoroughfare that gets ludicrously clogged due to the narrowing, widening and narrowing and widening it goes through. ugh.
So, Lone Star, now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb.

Didn't you know that if you drive faster, the light changes green faster?People who think driving faster than the speed limit is a great idea when there's a red light and a line of ten cars stopped at the light only 100 ft ahead. or people who tailgate you when you're simply coasting up (rather than accelerating into) to said red light and line of stopped cars

I know my route to and from work so well that I know which lights are on sensors (and thus doesn't matter if I speed or drive 5mph under because it's random whether a green light will change or not) and which are on timers (and thus will malevolently change to yellow while I still have plenty of time to stop safely but am close enough to really want to make it through the light).
I hate lights that are on timers and having to wait at an empty intersection for the light to turn back.

I loathe, I ABHOR anything relating to business - marketing, management, economics, finance, and lastly, my major, accountancy. I've thought about it, and I think I'd rather be physically tortured than be in the College of Business. Any physical pain would be better than this long, slow, 5 year mental and emotional torture.

Family Guy. Robot Chicken. Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law. Aqua Teen Hunger Force. And other shows of the sort. Just having it on in the same room I'm in makes me feel like I'm getting dumber.
Not to say that they don't have good jokes. I never saw it, but I was told once how Robot Chicken had a few seconds of a recognizably-scarfed individual standing on a baseball base, with no words, and almost no movement. I thought it was clever once I finally got it. But to sit through all of that s*** for such little good comedy.... bargh.

South Park being all awesome and pointedly satirical and f****** owning, and then just forgetting it all and going for the gross out gag or the absurdist progression. Sometimes it really works but often it's just really frustrating to see a show start great and then just poot out.

Daylight Savings Time
I used to get to witness the night. Now it's daylight when I drive to work and if i have OT (which I have) it's daylight when I drive home.
no more darkness (my old friend). I want to talk to him again. but he's gone away, I have hope I'll get to reacquaint myself tonight though.

Agreed. The latest episode was also very odd... not even trying to gross the audience out, but just not particular funny/engaging.South Park being all awesome and pointedly satirical and f****** owning, and then just forgetting it all and going for the gross out gag or the absurdist progression.

Well, the High Council of Men has just given their ruling on the matter, and I have been authorized to give a formal apology on behalf of our entire sex for all the stupid and awful things that we've done to the female sex:
Sorry ladies. Please realize that most of the things that we do which aggravate you are done innocently out of ignorance and/or stupidity. Nevertheless, we will try to be more considerate in the future. But, it would help us out a bit if you girls would... you know... start making more sense. Just saying, is all... We love you though!
A written version of this apology signed by all 4670 regional representatives of the of the International Male Union is available upon request.

Delta Airlines. I booked two tickets for a trip to CA in May and specifically paid $50 more per ticket (than the cheapest) in order to only have one layover each way (I get very motion sick, esp on takeoffs and landings). A week later I get notified that they canceled the flight I was on and there are no longer any flights that day with one layover. And since it is just a schedule change, their policy does not allow them to rebook me on another airline to accommodate me. I was so furious that I was in tears. My only options (without paying tons more money) were to take 2 layovers or go the day before or after. I chose to change days but I am so mad.

The phrase "Just Works", or "Just Works (tm)" or variations. Seriously, that was really old by the second time I had seen it used.

In case you didn't guess, it's a rickroll. However, it's a Rickroll that freezes your browser w/ JavaScript. Which I THINK violates the ToS and CAN result in a permanent ban. Just so you know
Anyway, I hate when I KNOW that I'm gonna bitch about whoever posted when I see their name as the latest poster, and I end up being justified.

People with no pool etiquette. If you're being passed constantly, go to a slower lane. If you're using a flutterboard, you may need to move to a slower lane. If you notice a person close behind you every single time you turn, even if you know they didn't start the lap so close, let them pass. For the love of all things furry, lay off the cologne. And guys, please don't wear a speedo unless you're a pro. It's almost always the guys at fault. Is it some sort of macho thing, to fake being cool by swimming in the fast lane? I assure you, no one thinks you're cool. You just piss people off.
I swear, one more person swimming in the wrong lane and getting in my way every lap, and the pool waters will run red with his blood.

Usually a pool will be split into three sections - slow/leisure, medium, and fast - and signs are posted at the end of each lane telling you which and also which sides of the lanes to swim up and down. Keeps things moving and keeps cranky pool snobs like yours truly from actually committing homicide. I also hate people who disregard the directions and swim into me. I don't look up or in front of me much, normally, because I trust people to be swimming the right way. Grar. I need my own 25m pool.
But if there aren't any signs, then maybe your pool is organised differently.
