What things bother you the most?

People who are sick but come to work anyways: with all the people coughing and hacking at work, it sounds like a freaking infirmary. :bleh:

I know what you mean. When I told my manager that I was feeling sick and wanted to go home, he would say, "If you think you're sick, you're going to be sick so think you feel well!". When the H1N1 virus was all over, upper management made a blanket directive to stay home if you have cold symptoms. I used to hear a chorus of hackers all around me. A lot of employees didn't want to use their sick time just because they were sick. :grumble: :shakehead:

Yup, that was the case at my last company: any sick time that wasn't used by the end of the year amounted to a bonus check, so people showed up for work sick... One guy had walking pneumonia and infected a bunch of people... He was reported and sent home... But not permanently, unfortunately.

What a selfish moron. :grumble:

People who don't think they need to drive slower in the middle of a snow storm. :shakehead:

We've got drivers who speed down roads during rainstorms as if weren't raining. :sweat:

One New Years eve morning, I was driving home from Marukai and it was pouring so hard that I could only drive 35 mph on the 91 fwy (and so was everyone else). It was coming down in sheets where you couldn't see in front of you. I should've gotten off the freeway but didn't.... This was an exception 'cuz normally like you mentioned rain doesn't slow drivers down at all here. :grumble:

Wow, it must've been raining really hard for people to actually slow down... A rare event, like an eclipse. :beaten:

I've never driven in that kind of rain before....usually been home watching it. Actually, there weren't that many people on the freeway although it was about 9:00 am. It lasted about 15 minutes. :sweat: :sweat:

inconsiderate people, especially people that are sick, and do not cover their mouths when coughing in public places. In Japan, and other parts of Asia, Asian people have the common courtesy to wear masks when they are sick in public places, but here, people just don't bother sometimes to cover their mouths, spreading unwanted germs, NOW THAT IS ANNOYING!!! :shakehead:

Roommates that start playing mahjong at 2AM.
Especially when I have an 8:30 class the next morning. >_>

Youtube forcing their user's accounts to be integrated with Google accounts. :crazy:

And while we're on it, every site containing a Facebook widget: connecting you to Facebook almost everywhere you surf... :/

Members who continually start new threads because they're too damn lazy to do a search first. :grumble:

Its a plot. ;)

I find it annoying too.

Nat was in L.A. and I didn't see her!!!:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cOkXIkVz1g

I imagine krim was more upset than me though.

What ticks me off the most is I missed Hangry & Angry concert here at Finland march last year. It's been bothering me whole last year and still bothers me greatly this year. What are the chances that a band that you like comes to a country that 80% of the population in the world don't even know where it is? Absolutely below 1%. Considering the fact that Hangry & Angry (aka Hitomi Yoshizawa and Rika Ishikawa from Morning Musume) are 2 of my most favourite people ever in this planet.. I get mad as I write this post.

Well, be grateful that two of your favorite celebrities, I assume, did not get injured or perish in the recent earthquake in Japan.
