People who piss you off

[jaguar]

People that ignore their kids crying on busses, planes, net cafes or any other enclosed public space. On planes it's grounds for justifiable homocide.

Are you ok?? I just put a goddamn carving knife though my finger WHAT DO YOU THINK??

People that think they have a god-given right to ram their way though a massively overcrowded train to take a seat that is much nearer someone more deserving. Being under 30 and in a suit moves this from annoying to justification for standing on shoes with combat boots.

Haha, that's funny, yet it should be, you're right. How about people who, when making a purchase, throw a credit card down or throw down a higher bill like they think that the card or the bill has been given the Midas touch. What I mean by a higher bill is like a 10 if the total is under 10, 20, if the bill is under 20, 50, if the bill is under fifty. If you lost me with the higher bills, just think about the credit card. What I do is hope that the credit card will be declined, so they have to take the time to search for another one. It just seems as though they are lazy enough not even to hand the card to the cashier. They just throw it down and sometimes wait unpatiently for the receipt to sign. This may just happen to me, if you can follow it. If you can't, well, I just embarressed myself.

While I too want to throttle people who have kids and then don't pay any attention to them, kids (at least little kids) on planes is a whole other thing.

We flew a lot with our kids when they were little. We lived in Seattle and the grandparents lived in St. Louis. It's a 4.5 hour flight.

The problem is that kids are susceptible to changes in air pressure as much as adults -- maybe more so. But you can't tell babies how to clear their ears. They can't chew gum. Once you've given them tylenol, there's not a whole lot more that you can do. Their ears hurt. You can comfort them, but they're going to cry.

Now if the kid is seven and annoying everyone within ten seats, I consider it a gift to your fellow passengers to bind and gag the brat.
