What do you find annoying ?
 
People who drive 60 in the middle lane and people who cut you off because they missed their exit.

as far as driving goes, probably people that move into your lane because the guy in front of them in their lane was going too slow, but then they go just as slow after moving into your lane.

in the airport it's really annoying when people block the entire escalator instead of staying off to one side. like when your inbound flight is late coming into gate A2 in ATL and you're trying to run up the steps to catch your connection in D38 and bam you get blocked because some prick(s) decided to sit his roll aboard down next to him on the escalator instead of behind him. its just simple common sense, common courtesy and yet mostly nonexistent in our airports.

about crewrooms - all the incessant hearsay-spreading and endless speculating about possible base closures/base openings/upgrades/the future and direction of the company/etc etc. it's like, whatever's going to happen is going to happen and there's not a thing we can do about it, so WHO CARES?!!!

Pens with detachable caps. Pens should always click or twist and have a firm clip that won't break off in your poket or shirt.

The thing that gets me the most is those who chose to drive at lower speeds in the left hand lane either on the expressway (I-95) or on a 4-lane highway that has a grass median divide, such as I-75N (Alligator Alley) between Ft. Lauderdale and Naples, FL.

You've got those jacka$$e$ that will see you coming up behind them in the left hand lane at a reasonable high rate of speed. You flick your headlamps quickly about two or three times to let them know that you'd like for them to move to the right lane. Mind you now, they have room to move over. What do they do? Either slow down or wait until you just about to get upon their tail and you make a move to the right lane and then they signal with their right turning signal. That excrement really ****es me off!:mad:

Tourists that apply their brakes before EVERY bend in the road here in the mountains- even at 25 mph (on a 40 mph road!).Usually have FLA plates...

86pilot 08-03-2009 11:04 AM

Management, chief pilots, ass. chief pilots, check airman, training capt. etc. etc.

Captains that spend 95% of their time all flight complaining about how bad the company is, how bad pay is, and whether or not they will make their outbound commuting flight. If your life is that miserable, for god sakes grow a pair, resign, and find a new career that will allow you to earn what you think you are really worth.


I am also annoyed by peolple who slow down 2 miles before their turn, then slow to a full stop, then make a turn off the road without their turning signal.

People that leave the storm scope on the menu page

Driving in Germany because of all the idiots on the road

omg yes! I experienced that in Maui, where all the coastal roads are very curvy. you could always tell the tourists by the way they slam braked at every bend.

you know, i used to wonder that every time i got into a plane and saw the efis smeared with greasy finger prints (which is like every day).. like why... why do pilots need to touch the efis screen? why??? (why?)

DYNASTY HVY 08-03-2009 06:25 PM

ALL TV and radio commercials
Most TV and radio hosts
Most TV and Radio PERIOD.
There's no such thing as "Classic" Rock. It's Rock. Everything else needs a prefix.

People who spend $25,000 screwing up their car. ($500 car with $24,500 worth of Paint, rims, electronics, Fart Cans, and bling)

People who carry their (yippy) dogs and treat them like their babies. "Who's my little boo-boo-gee-gee-goo-goo"
(If I only had a gun....)

Tourists.

Anyone who thinks I care about their beer, wine, spirits preference.
