Wow, no wonder it never took off.
 
 I also hate people who take up two seats on the metro when it's full.  It's bad on a bus, it's bad on a bench, but if you're like me and get really dizzy when sitting backwards/standing on the metro, this is the worst.

ooh, good fucking call. drives me crazy, and i usually don't let spelling mistakes get to me. i mean, you know how to spell "definite," right? right?? [/b]

And no one should forget that scourge of the internet, "noone".

When people in casual conversation use the word "said" referentially.  An example is... said friend then went to the store.

[walkonby]

people who ride the metro . . . and NOT pollute the world with their car's exhaust.

When rockers stick a lit cigarette offa the end of their guitar for cred.  I don't know who the worse offender is, but Bob Dylan is the only one who should be allowed to do it.  Or Hendrix.  No one else.  If I had a band with lotsa guitar I'd stick four lit cigs offa every ax, just to be annoying.  The name of my band would be THE PASSIVE SMOKERS WITH MUCHO CRED.

Pedestrians who stroll into traffic without looking first because they're too busy yapping on their cellphones.

I'm seeking an amendment for Eddie Van Halen.  The dude did give himself throat cancer for the trick.  That's got to be worth something.

 How's that?

those free daily papers that people take into the station and then just leave them on the train. you point out that they left their paper and they just give you a dirty look and walk off the train. what, you're too f'n good for the world to take your paper and drop it in the recycling box when you exit the station? wankers.

Keith Richards is the master of this and predates Hendrix and Dylan doing this.  He has to be let in, look at how many headstocks he has ruined over the years doing this.  There is actually in a guitar magazine bitching about people who do this and they comment about Keith lighting one up with one on his headstock and one resting on his amp.
 
 A personal one that probably no one else agrees with:
 
 Rockers who put their feet on the monitors.  Not their monitors but the club's monitors.  Some can not handle this and get f'ed up.
