While waiting in the check-out line, the person at the cashier is overly social, even after they've paid.
Arey you sure you don't have Finnish ancestors?

scotch-dutch-german-hungarian-english....no finnish
this usually happens while on my lunch break, hence i get flustered.You should move to Helsinki:
Say "Good morning" to a bus driver (or cashier, you name it), and you get the "What's so good about it?" scowl. You sit on a bench in a bus and the person sitting between you and the window starts to squirm like from an itch, without saying anything. This means "I would like to get off at the next stop, please".
All this pisses me off, even as I consider myself quite a typical Finn too...Anssi

lol. Sounds a lot like Antwerp (Belgium). Moved there 1,5 years ago. Say "thank you" to a cashier, and he/she merely gives you a blank "whatever" look. lol. Oh, I hate that city.

well excuse me, you teenager haters! i happen to wear pants at a normal hight, have good personal hygene (shower every morning, brush teeth consistently, ect), and have acceptable manners. and stinky, i have no idea where the "proper dutch" comment came from, but im somewhat fluent in spanish.
what pisses me off: people that hate teenagers just because they're between the ages of 13 and 19. look past the streotypes, guys!
oh, and its been calculated that a toyota prius uses about 1000 gallons of gas before it even leaves the dealer! thats because of the fule needed to make the battery. and, if compared to a car that gets a respectable 35 miles per gallon, the toyota would have to drive 100,000 miles more in order to make up for the 1000 gallon deficit.
PWND TOYOTA! ("pwnd" is teenager speak for "completely and utterly beaten", its pronounced "P-oh-nd", just incase you didnt know)

Know-it-all teenagers

Spending ages trying to work out something really, mind-numbingly-in-your-face obvious.
Prime example: i was trying to work out why i couldnt texture this cube, i was at it for a good half an hour gettign incraesingly pissed off to the point where i had to go and do something else. Came back and realised i was in 'monochrome'

another thing that pisses me off: (and i know solo has alreay said this) President Bush
and i really wish everyone would stop compltely freaking out about global warming! i mean jeez! worrying about it is only going to make it worse! why dont we all just calm down and accept that this might be a natrual fluctuation in the earth's tempature. and if thats not the case, take a chill pill and hop on your bike and get some CFLs for gods sake!
And that is exactly what George Bush wants you to do, just act like nothing is happening and drive an SUV everywhere, because we're in a war so you can have plenty of oil, so don't cut down! Whether it's a natural fluctuation or not we are contributing to it and denying that is really pissing me off.

agree.. recent studies have shown that human worry leads to increased CO2 emission due to heavy breathing/increased heart rate... everyone needs to relax in order for antarctica and greenland to refreeze..

How could it not be true!
Peter, of course it's raining, it's a bank holiday. It's traditional.

What's a bank holiday anyway? Are people forgiven their debts? You seem to be having a holiday too, are you all bankers? (ok, should look it up)

It's likre a traditional day off for everyone. Im not sure why it's their, it just is
-
When contemporary buildings from the 60s and 70s (or earlier) are torn down or renovated for crappy traditional style buildings (see next rant).
When architects design what are supposed to be "traditional" style buildings, but they get it wrong. With all the information out there, it's like misspelling your own name - it's just wrong!
Beige E.I.F.S. Neither the material or the color is bad in itself, but it's used way too much. What's worse is when the building's entire color scheme is beige. BORING.

To iGOR - my appologies..... my teenager comments were stereotypical. Now that I think about it - they apply to as many 20 somethings as they do teenagers.
Another thing that really pisses me off - the architects / developers / builders that create those huge monstrosity "contemporary" homes that all share the same flawed design features - you know which ones I'm talking about.
1- Fake paladian round top window
2- The 2 story "no detail - out of scale" columns that support a small dormer that covers only the entry.
3- The 10 useless windows added to try and make the attached 6 car garage look like a wing of the house
4- The excessively high roof ridge lines that I swear do nothing but add to roof shingle and wood truss sales quotas
5- The use of 5 different (and often non-complimentary) front facade materials
6- And my favorite one of all - the rediculous use of 6-8 fake dormers (1' or 2' deep)that create roofline upon roofline on the front of the house.

Amen to that!

- The fake bricked up window.
