Women in line in front of you at a checkout who wait until they're told the final amount before they even BEGIN to open their handbag...then their purse...then their change purse...
Next, they look back at the amount, then their brain engages (really, if it's quiet, you can hear it!), then OMFG, here it comes, they begin to speak----interrogatively!
Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.

I can't stand when they fumble for minutes in their purse looking for the exact change. Upon waiting ridiculous amounts of time, I have been know to hand the cashier a dollar and tell them to keep the change.
With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.

I know what you mean. That is why THIS woman uses a debit card most of the time.

People who pull out in front of you in traffic, then drive slow. People who quickly speed up to fill the gap when you put your blinker on to change lanes.

People who misuse homophones: ie, "their" and then misspell them.
