YouTubeI also hate Southern accents. Especially from people who live in/are from the North. And no, I don't want any sweet tea and please don't say the word "Yall" within earshot of me.

You know, I hate to admit this...but this is my one huge prejudice in life.
I instantly assign a lower IQ to anyone with a Southern accent, always have. Not remotely fair, I realize, but I still do it.
Hell, I'd even say some of what Edwards has been saying on the campaign trail has been great lately...but I couldn't get behind him if his campaign was that he was going to personally come to my house every day and give me a backrub because of the accent.

KSquared wrote People who think they can be rude to you and that you will meekly accept it (i.e. cutting in front of you in line).
On the opposite side of that:
*people that are oblivious to their surroundings and you can't tell if they're in line or not and then get pissed when you get in the line they thought they were in.

I think I have too many to list, although as a server, cell phones & texting in restaurants is high up. Especially if there are only 2 people having dinner and one of them spends the entire time on the phone.
BUT, I just wanted to point out, for people who hate negotiating through the automated phone systems, especially the ones where you are talking to a robot and they try to make it sound like a person: I have discovered that if you get angry anough and shout HUMAN!!! into the phone, you will be connected to a real live person. The first time, I thought it was a fluke, but I have done it with at least 3 different companies and each time, was rewarded with a living, breathing person.

Oh dear, I have many..... I will just touch one subject.
-Chomping or smacking of gum
-Licking fingers during a meal (any time really :P )
-Chewing food with an open mouth
-Slurping soup, hot drinks, etc
I am sure there are more, but that is a good start.

blammo wrote You know, I love music more than just about anything…but I can't think of any band or recording that would be worth spending $23,500 on to hear in greater fidelity, unless I'm hiring that band to play in my living room.
It is one of those exponentially diminishing return things where you pay ever higher steps of money for ever smaller improvements. Wine is a classic example.

People that drag their poor sick kids out in public and let their kids wipe their snot noses on their sleeves & cough all over the place. *gag*

OMG ALL OF THOSE THINGS TOO!!!!! Just making weird mouth sounds or dry mouth talkers with white stuff collecting at the side of their mouth....drink more water and do a cleanse. Licking fingers is so nasty and/or people who do not wash after using the restroom.

somertimeoh wrote Also, people who don't park close enough to each other on my street, wasting the space that another car or two could have parked in, but instead have to park 2 streets over and walk in the snow with purse, work-bag, school-bag, and gym-bag, IN HEELS and then do it all over again in the morning to go back to work. This is not fun.
Ditto, and doubly when those people are the awful teenage Basi valets who park on Neil Ave (and Buttles, and Hubbard) even though there is a sign outside the restaurant that says "Please respect our neighbors, use the valet." If I'm ever arrested it will be for physically harming one of those kids after he replies "It's not permit parking, so it's not illegal" when I tell him to park in the Giant Eagle parking lot.
Customer service representatives that are rude and stonewall you when you have a legitimate problem and are calmly trying to come to a solution.
In that vein, Time Warner. Pretty much in any and every instance I've interacted with them.
People who talk on the cell phone while driving don't always bother me, as long as they are still driving normally. However, people who talk on the cell phone while making a left turn absolutely 100% do.

OK, one more: People eating ribs in public. It makes me vom.
Once I went to lunch with an internship boss, who ordered a FULL rack of ribs at LUNCH. And the rib juices and sauce ran all over his hands and face, he licked his hands and had giant rib chunks in his teeth and a big plate of bones left over. Ribs should be an at-home only food if you eat them at all.

I'm not a big fan of the south either. I hated being called "Yankee" (as if that was a put down) for the entire summer that I lived in South Carolina. I hated how out in the open and accepted racism was down there. And I hate swait tay (sweet tea).
