People on the road who pass you and immediately turn off. Especially when they don't signal and they leave a distance between you and them that can be measured in millimeters.
And those who can't wait for you to go by and they pull out in front of you and poke along like a snail with gout.

An occasional mosquito and people who park their carts to chat in the supermarket aisles so no one can get by. Nobody cares that Martha's cat has fleas or so and so's daughter got married. Get the hell out of the way!

THEY DO care about that stuff, SINSULL! If they didn't, they wouldn't be standing there in your way and yakking. What they don't care about is your precious time. ;-)

Or maybe they don't actually care about the stuff they're talking about (which is quite possible)...well, then, they're trapped by the old situation that goes like this...

"Oh, shit! That's my neighbour/acquaintance/friend/coworker Joyce. I can't just flash by her like I don't care...she might think I was being rude! I've got to stop and chat for a minute or two about something or she might realize that I basically couldn't care less about her and am actually really rather inconvenienced by having to stand here and yak to her about Martha's cat and Jeanie's wedding. Sheesh! What a bore. Oh well, I can probably get rid of her easily enough in a minute or two after a bit of polite chit chat. Ho-hum. Now why is that stupid bitch over there glaring at us? Hasn't she got even 5 seconds to spare out of her incredibly important little life while I fulfill my social obligations here?"

They are probably both thinking something along that line. Basically, you've got 3 people in each other's way, 2 of them trapped by the social conventions and fears that hem them in, and the 3rd just trapped, period.

It gets up their noses!

People who drive on the highway while talking on cell phones.

People who walk on the sidewalk while talking on cell phones.

People who push their cart around the supermarket while talking on cell phones.

...but you get the idea.

Politicians who oppose anything the other party proposes, not because they're afraid it won't work but because they're afraid it will work, and make the other party look good. (I'm not talking about any party in particular here. They all do it.)

People at a song circle who, just when your turn has come and you've played the first few notes of an intro, decide to comment to the group in general about nothing in particular. Once, not long ago, I stopped dead, put my guitar in its case, and left without saying anything. It was the only way I could avoid doing anything that might have caused the cops to be called.

I could go on, but somebody else should have a turn.

In college, I ate a good portion of a freshly cracked cocunut, with friends. It was just before going out drinking beer. I drank far too much and later got sick. What went in, came up, assisted by a bit of carbonation .

The exiting coconut experience was not nice. Much of it irritated my throat. Some of it ended exiting via my nose. It was not pleasant.

So, my simple message is you do not want want coconut "up your nose".

Right Kendall. even worse are the ones who don't turn off but just slow down. I had one guy do that to me and he slowed down until there was only a two feet gap between us.

I figured that if he was happy with that gap then so was I. I kept that gap for about half a mile and the guy nearly had a heart attack, he didn't have the guts to keep it up.

You're right about song circles Midchuck. The Philadelphia was bad about that. If anyone was a bit slow getting started with their song, one of the guitar hogs would jump in and take their turn. I eventually gave up on them.

Interesting, mind if I ask why you think that?

Seeing as someone's already given the cheap answer about what gets up your nose, I won't.

What gets up my nose is a long introduction to a song where you're slapped in the face with an ideology you don't agree with*

I do like to watch music documentaries about any particular band or artist but what really gets up my nose is the constant commentary that talks over most of the music. I appreciate that they are telling the story but it is so irritating to just get a snippet here and there.

Now I'm old and sear and love to linger
On the joys of rolling on your finger
Be it black, or be it yellow

Playing with a bit of snot that's dried?

Most things get up my nose these days (it's probably something to do with my age!). Nevertheless, one thing that I've hated for years is oafs who drive around, on a summer's day, with their in-car sound systems on full blast and their windows wound down - so that everyone for miles is forced to be deafened by their oafish 'tastes' in 'post-music noise'.

I think that it should be legal to toss a tear gas grenade in through the open window and then, when the oaf hurls himself out of his car, coughing and spluttering, to thrash his oafish kneecaps with a baseball bat!

Lids and caps you can't open without pressing down first. My joints are sore and it hurts! Also those mayonnaise caps you have to undo then pierce, then do up again. And, those daft aspirin tops you have to line up the steps before they will open. So handy in the middle of the night! I suppose it's to stop children from opening things, but we never needed such protection when young, we had more sense, and our parents kept dodgy stuff out of our reach.

Grocery aisle cart blockage... I'll up the ante... those that finally realize they are stunned as me arse, move their cart and say, "Sorry." No you are NOT sorry. If so, you wouldn't have been so &*^%^*$##$^ rude in the FIRST place.

Even worse, the women (yes, 99% women) who walk in front of my 85 year old nearly blind mother at the last minute and block her way when they should damn well have not have done so IF they had any manners. I feel like saying, aside of course as Mum taught me better manners, "I hope some ignorant bitch does that to you in YOUR old age."

News readers on TV will NOT learn or use the standard pronunciations of words of other countries as sed IN those countries.

Today I heard an announcer on BBC America saying something about the "Penta-gun" (that big building where all the generals convene). He pronounced it in a hurried mumble, as if worried about getting to the next word in time.

For reference, it's Pent-a-gon.

I suppose some of OUR broadcasters do equal injustices to English place names....but I wish they'd ALL study a bit.

BBC Breakfast presenter Susanna Reid. She would be better suited presenting some late night porn show. She can't keep her hands off herself, constantly tosses her hair back flirtatiously, looking at the camera and attempting to pull seductive faces and when she conducts an interview, she behaves like a 14-year-old schoolgirl on her first date.

At 40 plus, she has too many birthdays for those low cut tops and mini skirts.
