A few more things that really get to me.
(But now I'm talking serious "makes me wanna hit something, or someone". And not just "annoying".) :
- People who somehow think they look really cool when they make their tire screach on the asphalt, making 1-200 km/h at a green light.
- Loners who come to think it's a pretty neat idea to show the world how big they are by creating and propagating a virus.
(I say they should be punished by getting infected themselves... through intestinal worms.)
- The twisted-minded idealistic anarchists who find it to justify the above, by saying : "Well, duh, in fact they're attacking capitalism and Microsoft's monopoly !".
When in fact, all it's doing is like erasing some father's kids pictures, or a student's half-completed thesis.
And on a higher note :
- Capitalism, and especially its newest evil child : neoliberalism, which is creating some of the biggest aberrations in terms of injustice that the world has ever known. (And I mean it : at least, in comparison, feudal slavery took place before all notions of human rights. Now it's at the point where some of the poorest farmers in the world are made to pay 3/4 of their income for fresh water, pumped from wells they have dug themselves ! All that in the name of market rationalization and development.)
- Child labour. And especially child prostitution. (That's got to be my topmost, for the shear beastiality of such acts. -The idea that anybody could so savagely, repeatedly and for forever destroy a defenceless child's life for profit gives me such a sense of disgust that I've often felt physically ill at it.)
- Oh yeah, and Celine Dion too.
There you go.
[Sorry bheagle, hope I didn't overshoot by too much. But at least you can't really accuse me of straying off topic...
