Default 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!

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...

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.
