Ok, I've got another technological one --

When you're typing a password, you're almost there....and then your finger falls between two keys and you're not sure if it included both of them or not, so just to be sure you have to do the whole thing over.

When I forget my password to something, like my pin number to my shepherd account... so they have to look it up before I register to my classes. That was very... annoying... because there were a lot of classes I wanted where there weren't that many seats in. Lucky I got all the ones I wanted, except Math 101, but I didn't really want that. No math for a semester woot.

Short haired co-workers that wear Bruce Springsteen shirts and tell me about Bon Jovi all the freaking time and still claim to be metal.

Bon Jovi. Seriously... who cares?

Circus Midgets.

Seriously .... My wife either yelling for me (to do some stupid thing or ask a dumb question) from another room on the other side of the house or knocking on the wall of our bedroom to get my attention (for the same reasons). Our bedroom and the family room are right next to each other and it drives me friggin' mental!!!.

"Que" = "what" in French and Spanish. In English, it means "A half farthing" or "abbreviation for Quebec".

"Queue" = "line of waiting people or vehicles".

"Cue" = "A signal, such as a word or action, used to prompt another event in a performance, such as an actor's speech or entrance, a change in lighting, or a sound effect." or "A reminder or prompting, a hint or suggestion".

"U" does not = "you".
"UR" does not = "your" or "you're".

When you "literally" did something, it means that you actually did it. As in "It literally blew my head off". Expressions like that make me want to literally kick you in the... shins.

Oh, don't worry, there are many more where those came from.
... and that's all I have to say about that.

I agree... bad grammar... or total lack there of bugs the hell out of me.

Also:

-Slow drivers
-Slow Walkers
-Downloading mp3s that go BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP in the middle of the song... or go all crazy all the sudden and almost blow your speakers.
-People that don't leave voicemails when they call me... If you want me to call you back... leave a voicemail... otherwise, I'll assume that your phone call served no purpose
-People that call me back before they check their voicemail... I hate that.
-People that don't know how to bong a beer correctly and waste perfectly good beer...
-People that don't know how to take shots... When I take a Jaeger Bomb (or otherwise) I expect whoever is next to me to be able to take it without setting the glass down and gasping for air until they finish the second half...
-Emails that try to get me to buy penis enlargement pills... Whoever actually buys those from their email account should also start getting "Kill yourself now" junk mail... maybe that one would work too...
-Getting friend requests from webcam girls on MySpace... Doing webcams is basically just for girls that are too lazy to be actual prostitutes... Pathetic attempts at attention...
-When you go to a concert and the go behind you can't sing the words in key...
-When you go to a concert and the guy beside you insists on playing air guitar the entire show... "Dude... you can't play guitar... I can tell becuase your holding your hands all wrong... He's playing a G... you're obviously making a D... with a little trill... there's not trill..."
I could go on...I'll save it for later though...

I always thought que was the one that meant a signal. Oh well, you learn something new every day. Thank you, sir.

4) Those "chirp" phones.

5) Public kissing.

The way most public schooling set up advanced courses so that you spend all of maybe a couple days on a subject and are expected to have totally mastered the it, and most of the time I've forgotten what I learned in about a month, if that long!!! :confused:

Those two things don't bother me... Because if someone is playing there music too loud that lives by me... I'll simply give them a free jam session with my JCM 900 pushed against the wall closest to them with the volume turned up around 7 or 8................ at 4 in the morning when I get home from the bars..... Or I'll just leave all my trash in front of their door... Random inconveniences are funny....

Then for the little dogs... I have a St. Bernard... She doesn't make a sound unless you tell her to. And she likes to eat small animals on command too.......... I use to live in the country with my parents growing up and she killed 2 full grown pigs, a goat, and a few deer... she's crazy... It's weird though because she's the sweetest dog ever to people... unless I tell her otherwise. Her and I both hate small dogs... so that situation would be taken care of real fast.

No kidding. I bet you don't have to worry about strange dogs crapping on your lawn either.

When people intentionally mispronounce certain words like garbage or target trying to sound French or something...as in "garbaahsh" or "tarsheh". It's not cute, it's not funny, but it is retarted.
