I will either leave the room or throw a shoe at you if start eating chips, crackers, or anything crisp or crunchy around me. The crunch makes me go insane. My oldest brother thinks I'm strange because I react in this manner.

Bobby pins and hair ties.
I cannot stop losing them. Just cant.

Money being valued over everything else.

Westboro Baptist Church.

Manipulative people.

Anyone who thinks killing living things is a sport.

The lack of real educational programming on Animal Planet, History Channel, Discovery Channel, etc. I used to learn something from television.

US Congress' inability to pass any bill without a partisan war.

How everything in America is designed for big and tall people.

Networking.

Some of the animated images (such as .gif files) actually give me dizziness and make my stomach sick. Some avatars here on WP actually do that. When I see them, I scroll the page so I won't have to see it. So I tend to skip their posts. Also, those sneaky ads that has a vibrating/shaking message saying "Congratulations, you have won blah, blah..." make me dizzy and sicken my stomach literally and also their intention to trick you into going to their website and potentially to get something out of you sickens me, too.

When people post YouTube music videos and leave all the applause in. The one I was just listening to had 4 minutes of applause at the end.
Yes, the Eroica is f*****g awesome, but I think people can figure that out without having to hear 4 minutes of people's hands being hit together.
(I did stop it before the end of the applause, but I still don't see why it's necessary to leave it in.)

Telemarketers.

No "Headlines" on Leno.

Almost getting run over in parking lots.

poorly remastered kinescopes. the fact that the stock of old dumont tv network kinescopes were thrown into upper new york bay rather than stored properly. the fact that NBC destroyed 99% of the quad videotapes of the Hullabaloo! tv series in 1975 rather than archive them for posterity. now the only surviving recordings of that wonderful music program are on unwatchably dim and dull monochrome kinescopes with horrid sound quality.

Adverts on youtube.

My favorite radio station playing the same music by the same musicians over & over, it is redundant.

computer glitches

Advertisements aimed at dumb people.

I am not, and I will not buy that product, just for insulting my intelligence.

So there.

people who routinely put out a product that is not as good as it could [or should] be.

Agreed.

• Reality tv shows (was just at cable co today paying my bill and asked if I could cancel all the channels that carry reality tv shows. She said "but that would be 90% of the channels" I replied "Yes". )
• Advertisements that run (in some cases HUGE) across the screen during the tv segment (we pay enough for tv service to limit this to ad time, no?)
• People who expect you to move when in public walking with the right of way (I like to suddenly turn around and stop so that they have to walk around me)

Agreed. What happened to quality? It bugs me when I so much as see a typo in a post I make, luckily on this site you are allowed to edit for a substantial amount of time if you miss one. I could never turn out a crap item to sell.
