Men who always claim their phone died.
Seriously the minute my phone dies I charge it. It shouldn't take a dude three days to do so and call me back. Just broke up with someone for doing this shit.
Charge your phone and call people back and you won't get dumped.

People who recline their airline seats as far as possible for an entire flight.
My kids and I sat behind a couple and their child for an entire 8 hour transatlantic flight yesterday. It was a daylight flight, not overnight. They reclined, practically into our laps, the entire time, even when they were sitting forward to eat, or getting up to go to the bathroom, etc.

Leaving left over time on the microwave.
You heat something up in the microwave for a minute. You let the microwave run for 57 seconds. Is it too much to ask that you clear off the remaining 3 seconds?!

People on any type of competition style show who say "I'm not playing around. I'm here to win!"
Every time a contestant is interviewed they always feel the need to remind the viewer WHY they're on the show. Really? No shit. I kind of figured that out by the mere fact that you are a CONTESTANT!

Pushing food onto your fork with your fingers.
Sure, there are foods we eat with our hands - sandwiches, pizza and the like - but if you have a fork in your hand, use a KNIFE to move food onto the fork, if the fork itself is not adequate. Would you go outside to shovel snow, lay down the shovel and use your hands to place snow on the shovel? No! Would you throw a bath towel on the floor and roll around on it to dry yourself off? No! Use the proper tool properly, otherwise, just scoop your food into your mouth and forget the fork, cuz that's basically what you're doing.
Besides being illogical, it's gross!
Also, bring the fork to your mouth, do not bring your face to the fork. You are not an animal at the trough. That kind of gobbling greed (in SUCH a hurry to eat you can't wait for the fork!) is effing disgusting.
Please and thank you.

People that add an "S" to store names that are not plural.
"I have to go to Wal Marts, you can buy that at Victoria's Secrets, I am on Nutri Systems".

People who say "schedule" to sound like "shedule".
Why have they picked this word to pronounce that way?! How do they say "school"? Or "schooner"? "Scheme"? Or what about "schizophrenic"?!

When people proudly wear all-access passes.
If entitlement were an object.

Protracted endings of live songs.
Two minutes of drum banging, cymbal pounding, etc. Put it to death.

People who enter an elevator and turn to face you instead of the doors.
More common when the elevator is packed and there's one guy up front turned to face everyone else, but much worse when it's just you and one other person who silently stares at the side of your face the entire time.

People assuming that all pit bulls are dangerous/vicious
My dog is half blue tick hound half boxer. He LOOKS like a pit bull, but isn't. I have seen people cross the street to get away from him. He is not aggressive, does not bark except at squirrels, and has the saddest hound dog eyes. Just because he LOOKS like a pit, people assume he is vicious. Thank you Michael Vick.

People advertising things as "upcycled."
All you did was take some thrift store crap and paint it or stick things on it! You didn't make it better (i.e. "cycle" it up), you just gave the old crap a longer shelf life.

When family members invite themselves to events.
Especially when it's supposed to be a date night, or a birthday celebration with friends (e.g- at a bar, where you plan on getting FUBARed)

"Conversate." Really?
It's not a bloody word, you freaking idiot! You and I may converse ~ but I seriously doubt it, because I don't have the patience required to hold a conversation with a moron.

I'm was at work listening to my MP3 player when a slightly younger co-worker (she in her late 20's, me in my early 40's) felt it necessary to make a comment about being "surprised that I listen to that kind of music." I was listening to NIN, and Trent Reznor is my age. He can still rock but I can't? What the hell?! Is there a certain age at which I am required to give away all my hard rock CDs and start listening to country-western? Does the walker come with it and make it a package deal? There will be hard rock played at my funeral or I'm haunting someone's sorry ass.
In the same vein, a few years ago someone in his mid to late 20's told my husband (who is also my age) that he'd never seen someone his age with a pierced tongue. I guess we have to take those out when we receive our country-western music and walkers? F*#k that!

When you stop driving, and all of your passengers leave the car and start walking away.
... leaving you alone to shut things down and hide valuables. This is worse the longer the trip is.

Leaving EVERY cabinet open in the kitchen after walking out.
Never fails. I walk into the kitchen after my husband has walked out, and EVERY cabinet he touched is OPEN. How long does it take to close a cabinet?

Someone asking me a question from another room, when it is clear that I can't hear.
This is immediately followed by a requisite "what?!"

Eyelashes turned in toward and rubbing against the eyeball.
It's your WHOLE PURPOSE on earth!
PROTECT the eyeball.
