Kids at school who don't care about their grades and think a C is the best thing ever. If you don't want to try, just drop out and don't give me your **** about grades. Usually these kids are the athletic types people have mentioned above.
Kids at school who find me when I'm not doing anything and ask me if I like girls, do I know any hot ones, etc. It's none of your freakin' business.
People who hate getting stopped at a railroad crossing for a train to go by and get furious when it happens. If where you're going is so important that waiting a couple of minutes is the end of the world, you should have left earlier. Enjoy the train. It's like seeing a rare car on the road; the odds are very slim for meeting a train at a crossing because they are miles apart from one another. Perhaps it's just me because I'm a diehard railfan, but it's extremely annoying to me.
Little kids who talk really loud during a movie in a theater, and their parents who don't have the sense to realize he's disturbing everyone else and thus don't shut him up.
PS3/360/Wii fanatics who immediately shoot you down when you say something good about one of the systems they don't like and don't back off until they've spewed out everything they've memorized about how the system they like is better. Get a life.
People on the subway, bus, etc. who talk about how the world's going to end in 2012 so do whatever you want and disobey the rules and stuff like that. I don't want to hear it. Let me think about the present, and not how much time I have left. I don't even believe the 2012 thing, even though I've seen the shows on it. It's like the religious people who constantly slam their beliefs on everyone else. If you believe the world's going to end in 2012, fine. Keep it to yourself.
My worst one has already been said, but people who think everything is because of global warming. It's 100 degrees in August in Florida and they blame it on global warming. To paraphrase Dave Barry, this has happened pretty much every August since the dawn of human civilization, and yet everyone still freaks out about it. There is no such thing as global warming. The Earth has been going through a cycle of warming and cooling since it was formed. The last Ice Age was the cold point, and the temperature has been rising ever since. We're just in the warm part of the cycle. It will eventually start cooling down again, and possibly down to the next Ice Age. It's not because we're here. Sorry to burst your bubble.
On a similar note, environmentalists who both get angry at anyone who does anything remotely polluting, and brag to people about the fact that they're so eco-friendly.
And my final environment-related annoyance is those who think they're so environmentally friendly just because they drive a Prius. There are much better cars in fuel efficiency out there. The Honda Insight got better mileage before Honda ceased production. There are MANY cars in Europe that get better mileage than the Prius. So stop acting like you have the best green car in the world. You don't.

I love these morons' mindsets. Less competition for me in the future job market 👍. If you barely get through college with a C- average, don't count on competing for a good career.

Same with buses, rooms after a meeting is let out, et cetera: Let people leaving/exiting first because there might be a good reason for it!
I used to mention that to customers at Lexus; "It's not a throttle pedal."
LOUD PEOPLE THAT ARE LOUD ALL THE TIME WHEN TALKING, LIKE A REALLY LOUD PERSON. Yes, after a drink...you're occasionally loud. But some people don't understand that you don't have to hear yourself over everything when you speak, unless saving others form mortal danger.

First two I agree with, last one I don't.
The fact that every single day, I must face a stupid railway crossing with a 5minute delay annoys me. Trains at this crossing can't get any worse, if you get caught (which you always will), you're stuck for a minimum of 5 minutes. If you get caught, atleast 3 trains will have to pass. What makes this more irritating is that there are trams and tramtracks which overlap the train tracks, which means that the trains have to go dead slow across the crossing. The worst part about this is that people who drive through here often don't have any common sense, sure there are rules, but to get through here you gotta go a bit beyond them.
We usually pass through this place everyday around 4 to 5 times, there are no other routes around this place. Leaving early dosen't help either, sometimes you can get caught to 3 trains and a freight train. Either way, you're stuck here. I think that's what annoys people.

If you're talking about those who get to senior year and just "resign" that's one thing.
But for some folks, scraping a C is hard work.
For the record, I carried a 3.3 GPA in College.
When I went to nursing school I had to bust my big furry ass to make the "C" some folks turn their nose up at.
However, I never had to retake a single class. And unlike a lot of people, I passed state boards on my first try, with almost the fewest number of questions it's possible to take.
My beef on this is the person the keeps straight 'A's, but goes all weak when they think they might get a "B".
That person makes me crazy!

Yes, but Driving Park is talking about people who don't care about their grades. By busting your "big furry ass," you showed that you cared about your performance in nursing school, unlike the slackers Driving Park is talking about.
Anyway, here's one for anyone who's ever lived in a wild dormitory in college:
People running up and down the halls screaming, laughing, and generally causing an (alcohol-induced) ruckus at 3am on a weekday. I don't particularly care how other people live their lives, but continually waking everyone on that floor up before class is really, really irritating.

^Yup. People being loud in areas where others are trying to sleep irritates the hell out of me. In the club's parking lot, be as loud as you want...when you're stumbling back to your apartment, SHUT THE 🤬 UP. I'm glad I don't live in that kind of complex anymore, but when I was living in an apartment around UW for two years, it was EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. It didn't take long for me to start sleeping with earplugs in. Now I live in a place where I don't hear a peep out of anyone

91hondawagon basically said what I was going to say about grades. The people I'm talking about don't even try.
And I also agree with you about the people who get straight A's and think a B is the end of the world. About half the people in our school do this, mostly because most of them are of Asian descent (they are expected to do extremely well or they will dishonor their family and get in a LOT of trouble from their parents). But seriously, getting a B+ one quarter isn't the end of the world. It's still a great grade. I do not get straight A's, instead usually A's and B's (and a C+ in World Civ this year, which I worked really hard for and was disappointed it wasn't a B, but oh well). It greatly annoys me when someone thinks a B+ is a bad grade. Some people would kill for a B+.
Another thing that annoys me even more is when people like me are working/studying are butts off the whole year to get a good grade, when others sleep through class, never pay attention, never study or prepare, and still get straight A's without any effort at all. I don't have anything against them personally, it's just the fact that it's hard for the rest of us and it's a breeze for them.

The straight-A crowd only gets on my nerves when they're talking about college. It's easy enough to get straight-A's in high school, but college is a different animal. My GPA dropped from 3.9 in high school to 3.4 in college, and I definitely put more effort into college. It's nearly impossible to get a 4.0, and guess what, kids: IT DOESN'T MATTER. Employers don't care about your grades, and your GPA is not listed on your diploma. It's severely wasted effort.

I know a couple people who have straight-A's in high school. They're actually some pretty cool guys. They're in my JROTC class so they plan on going into the military and having them pay for college. It's actually a really good plan.
ME, I'm an average student of 2.8 GPA. I'm probably going to go on that same military plan mentioned above. I want to be a Navy Sniper.

Speaking of people being loud near sleeping areas, we were at a hockey tournament (my brother was playing) and we were at a hotel attached to a casino, and of course we got a room next to the pool on ground level. Well there were KIDS running around and yelling until ~1am and we barely slept that night. In fact, I think the room next to ours must have had a birthday in it because we could hear kids yelling and bumping in to the walls in there. Luckily my brother got sick so we went back home, but it was probably the worst night at a hotel I've had.

My girlfriend always yells at me to stop spitting in the yard.
Her dog craps in the yard.
Does that count? Or the fact that she insists that certain things she might do to people are rude or mean, even if the person she's doing it to specifically tells her that they don't think it's rude.

I understood that. I just know that not everyone that is pulling C's is being a lazy bum.
I have no patience for those that are lazy bums.
@SolidSnake:
The only way to be a Navy Sniper is to be a seal.
If you want to be a military sniper your best bet is to go Army or Marines.
The training is a right bitch in either of the three.
But the Army or Marine training is somewhat easier.
Not that any of the three is "easy". But you don't have to survive BUDS first to get to Army or Marine Sniper School.
Besides that, the most notable snipers in US history were not Sailors.
They were Jarheads.

A thought that occured to me today...
People who constantly believe that they need to have the last word in any conversation as if it is some sort of an accomplishment in a sense that they "won." I've been in a bit of a tussle with a friend of mine over something, and despite the fact that she tells me to take a step back and leave the subject alone (which I am happy to do so after she says it bothers her), no, she has to go back and "finish it" despite the fact that I ended it previously.
Its not that big of a deal when I don't agree with someone, I'm willing to let things go, but I can't stand it when they don't have enough respect for themselves, and for me, to do the same.

people who take predictions as complete fact and preach it, even more annoying when it involves unproven and unmeasurable forecasts. jeez how many times should the world have 'ended' now? then when it passes the fanatics leap to the next thing to attach the title to.

CERN and 2012 is the latest doomsday in fashion apparently
it winds people up and it only takes a few idiots to believe a joke before it all snowballs and it spawns a phase of single minded fanatics, much like that carmody woman in that naff film the mist
as human as it is to hunt pattern some things are just coincidence!
heres another one, people that have no actual hobbies or interests, unless you count eating and watching tv all day. my sisters a good example...activities to her are 'boring'

- no thank you.
I would say for me it would be...
1. people saying "like" after every word. I count the number of times they say it just to get them mad.
2. People assuming everyones christians, and that atheists are terrible people. (anything about religions bugs me)
3. People who wont bring up subjects to keep a conversation flowing.
4. People not willing to speak their word. I would much rather have a tame argument over a subject than have someone agree with me throughouta conversation.
5. People who have been a--holes to others and act like they're still good friends, when they wont apologize or admit to their own mistakes.
6. Overly "tattling" on people. That sort of person who will tell on someone for having a cellphone in class, in highschool, just because they can see the outline in your pants.
7. People who question the point of performance oriented cars.
8. People who eat because they're bored.
9. People who dont respect privacy.
10. War.

Basically no GTP'ers, or people from other forums talk when I'm on 'away' or 'busy', ofcourse other than the ones I tell them to. It's always the same stupid people from school.
