Roommate is always guilty for this

People who use the handicap button to open a door because they are being lazy, even more so in winter when the open door lets all the lovely -25 air in the building.

I think they're too stupid to realize how a push pull door works. So they just hammer the handi button.

When people just have to get in front of you and slow down

When passing someone and they speed up

[Disoblige]

People who live in apartments and own a medium to high energy dog, but don't give them proper walks during the winter (or even summer because they're lazy). They either try to get them to piss/shit on the balcony or go outside for 30 seconds in the corner just for them to do their business and they go back inside. Pathetic.

People who think having a hands free conversation on the bus is ok.

Calgary transit. Not event once.

^that applies to anywhere for me. If you can hold the phone, don't use handsfree if it's a 1-to-1 convo. People walking down the hall shouting into their phone with the speaker cranked and distorted make me wonder if they even know you can use it as a regular phone.

Calgarians that still haven’t figured out how moronic speeding on highway 40 is.....

I drive it every weekend almost. 80-90% of the time I see at least one RC between highway 1 and the Nakiska turn off.

Still today on the way to ski, some moron in a C-class merc pulls a triple pass on the pack I was leading at 95 (even though there was tons of space between us). Hits the next car in front of me and pins it, was probably doing 130-140 when the cherries lit up in the distance.

Was so satisfying to see. I’m fine with people speeding but show at least a brain cell or two. You have to be an absolute moron to pull those kind of passes on highway 40 when (almost) everyone knows they patrol the shit out of that highway.......

I think I've mentioned this before, but a major pet peeve of mine is abbreviations, both of the condensed word type and the initialism type.

Examples (thanks hallowed! :p )

I also can take or leave pineapples on za.

Za for "pizza". Or the other common term I've heard is veg (ie vegetables). It sounds retarded, quit saying it :p It is no quicker to say in regular spoken word, unless you talk reeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaalllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyy sllllllllooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwly.

This extends to needless acronyms when discussing anything, especially about topics you may not be 100% familiar with (basically any time you talk to someone in a design or engineering department in a field you are not familiar with). Found this especially prevalent on university campuses, if there is one thing university students love to do, its abbreviate things even when it takes just as long to say the non-abbreviated version.

Haha, I used that Za term specifically to set someone off!! Success!!

Mine include: Rarri, Bevy, Brewskis or any of that other bs.

One of the projects at my work (let's call it ADG), was an acronym I didn't remotely understand for the longest time. Then I finally asked some one...

ADG stands for ABC, DEF, and GHI.
They used an acronym to stack 3 acronyms...

How about “prolly”. That one drives me insane. Do people not realize they sound like they are some 13 year old girl with a high pitched voice???

TALKING ON F*&KING SPEAKERPHONE IN THE OFFICE.

Strictly for people over the age of 50. The worst part is that its the bossman who does it (open-space cubicle type layout) which gives the impression to the other old fart that it is appropriate.

Because deaf

[SKR]

At sporting events when they play the same hack things. The Jeopardy song when a play is being reviewed, the Law & Order or Dragnet sounds when a penalty is called. Dumb songs after the visiting team scores. When I went to school in Lethbridge I went to a lot of Pronghorn hockey games, and every time the other team scored they played this stupid country song. I don't even know what it's called, but the lyrics started off, "big deal, so what, who cares" or something like that. And they stunk, so it got played six times a night. We Are the Champions blows too, fuck Queen. Fat bottomed girls don't make the rocking world go round, what the fuck would a gay guy know about it.
