Don't You Hate It When...

-Pedestrians cross the street when it says "Don't Walk", and they take their sweet time doing it like they're walking in the park. (Bostonians do that all the time!)

-After a long day, you're in the train and someone beside you is on the cellphone talking so loudly that the entire car can hear him/her?

-People wear backpacks, forget that they are and whack you when they carelessly turn in a crowded place?

-Going up the stairs, people ahead of you swing their arms when they're carrying an umbrella?

-People overtake you when walking and then slow down? This applies to driving too.

-You receive a complicated excel file which is not properly formatted with pre-set page breaks and you have to print it out in readable form?

-People touch your computer screen and leave their fingerprints on it?

-People throw things just anywhere without bothering to find a trash can?

-People toss their cigarettes (again, just anywhere) when they're done smoking without extinguishing it?

-People don't let you finish talking before they butt in?
