When people use the terms "hubby" and "wifey" when referring to their spouses. It make me want to punch a small child (preferably one that belongs to the offending parties) right in the face.

My wife and I do this. Luckily, no kids yet.

People who talk on their phone while they are at the teller in the bank. Call them back when you're done. So irritating!

To add, people in general doing this whether it be the supermarket, fast food line, etc. And talking too loud on it.

This one always gets me. It's one of the most self-centered things you find in daily life. It's always the most asinine conversation that could take place at any other time too. Get off the phone and join society for 5 minutes out of your day, please.

One I was thinking of yesterday - when people talk for other people that they don't know; especially the dead.

I like looking up old Metallica videos to find live concerts and stuff on youtube.

There's one inevitable thing you come across - people speaking for Cliff Burton. The speak for him on behalf of what Metallica has done over the last 15 or so years as if he was some sort of personal friend; always ranting on about how ashamed he'd be of the Black album and on and how he'd never have let them become what they did.

You don't know him. You don't know his personal thoughts. You don't know what he'd feel if he'd matured and aged. You don't know anything. Why not just replace "Cliff Burton would be" with "I'm so" and speak for yourself instead?

I can get people speaking for say their child, or for someone they knew really, really well -"they would have wanted this"... But for someone you knew nothing about other than what you saw in some interviews when they were alive?

When the bus doesn't arrive on time

When somebody plays their annoying music outloud on the bus instead of using headphones.

I can't stand this. Just use your damn headphones. No one cares what you are listening to or wants to hear it. Some people have zero courtesy in them.

Retired people or unemplyed people for that matter who insist on doing their banking, Post office runs, grocery shopping, etc. during the lunch hour.

You have all day to do this stuff. I have a half an hour. I usually work until 6 so the post offices and banks are closed when I get out. So I stand in line for 15 minutes behind a blue hair or someone that just rolled out of bed.

People rushing to judgment based on a news article

To piggy back on that, people rushing to judgment based on a news article's headline. I don't know how many times I've corrected someone on Facebook when they repost a story, and how awful it is, and it turns out that they've only read the headline.

To piggyback off my own post. I was in the bank again this morning. Lineup was crazy and some woman at the teller is done with her banking but continues to talk to the teller about her vacation she just had. Get the hell out of the way, this isn't a coffee shop!

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

here's a few that come to mind because i encounter them on a daily basis.

1. all bicycle riders who think they are the same as a vehicle; riding on busy streets with fast moving vehicles.
2. people who drive up to their mailbox and stop in the road to get their mail
3. school busses who expect you to stop if you are coming from the opposite direction @ 45mph
