Overemphatic cab-hailing
Worst of all are the women who stand half in the street with this dumb expression on their faces and their arms raised in kind of a lazy sig heil motion. Be cool, people!!

intra-website "Search"es
Type in something very specific and you get back a list of meaningless crap-o links, like the bad old days before Google.

Hip children.
Kids should not dress stylishly. Fashion is about sex, and children don't have sex, so they should be allowed to dress however they like, not like mini adults.

Cash Only
Not just for cheap places, either, for an actual restaurant where the meal is going to be kind of expensive. What am I, a made man? I'm supposed to carry wads of cash in my pocket?

Kids with cell phones.
A bad habit that they really could wait a few years before picking up. I think I would rather see them drinking a Bud.

When I tip for bad service.
What is this impulse that forces me to put change or even a dollar in the can when server is rude and I know this donation will not be acknowledged in any way? It is truly pathological the way I find an excuse to give money to even the most sullen employee.

Having to eat facing a mirror.
Most common at pizza and other cheap places that have stools and a counter against the wall, facing a mirror.

Trying to get the bartender's attention.
...that scene in the movie where Stu looks like an asshole.

Loud Motorcycles.
Why is there no law against driving one of those motorcycles that is so loud it drowns out all other sounds on the street as it passes by? If you drive one, it means that you are proud of being an asshole. I hope you crash and some quiet person gets your liver.

Camera panning in as person starts to cry.
On interviews on the news and any documentary footage, this happens without fail. It's so obvious, like the cameraman is saying to himself, Oh yeah, here's the money shot ...
