1) I stepped in freshly spit out gum. My car smells like watermelon now, so I know that the gum hadn't completely lost its flavor. How hard is it to spit out your gum in a trashcan located 20 steps away from the parking lot? seriously people...
2) I encountered the race card. I was in Hobby Lobby, and a lady of a certain race was complaining about how one of the sales lades in the front was prejudiced because she was "rude". Last time I checked, rude and prejudiced were not synonyms... Anyway, apparently the sales lady told her where the bathroom was in a rude and uncaring way. Seriously, there are signs everywhere... I guess that's not the point. Complaining is not a strong enough word for what this woman was doing. She was griping to and in front of her young children about "that prejudiced woman" the whole way to the bathroom, loud enough for the store to hear... It made me want to vomit. Just because someone is "rude" does NOT make them prejudiced... What is this teaching her children? I think you had to be there for the complete annoyance factor. I just can't stand it when people pull the race card. period.3) I encountered some bad drivers. In Houston, this is a normal, everyday occurrence. I think Ike made people even more insane, however. When I am going 10 mph over the speed limit in a work zone (where fines are double when workers are present--and they were), I don't appreciate being tailed...
I guess these are just a few of the things that really get under my skin. What are some of yours?

Also, people who throw their cigarette butts on the sidewalk or in the street. Very rarely, I will pick up or point at the cigarette and say, "You dropped something!" and pretend that they, you know, didn't mean to do it. This is not often very effective.
