What annoys you to no end?

iPhone Evangelists. Especially since they've announced the 3GS!
(Yes it's cool, OK? Now will you shut up about it already!) ;D
"Darling, could we please not talk about your iPhone tonight?"

1. That little ant (bug? tick? insect?) that Josh calls an avatar. I've tried to kill it three times.
2. Those who correct, or just complain about, others' incorrect grammar. I have issues with commas, I know. Makes it scary to post anything.
3. Taxes.
4. When I make a phone call that is answered by a recording that begins with a long list of #s to choose from, that correspond to the alternatives they offer, none of which ever meet my needs. Afraid they will hang up on me, because they have so many times before, I pick one only to be greeted by another long list of #s I can press, etc., etc., etc. Of course, my very favorites are the ones that say, "Tell me . . . Say something like . . . " I have never, not even once, been understood. It must be my California coast accent. These calls always end with a happy, pleasant voice saying, "Good-bye." The voice is NOT mine.

Who cares?????? If people aren't crying about one thing, then they're crying about another. Just post!

Try saying AGENT or OPERATOR or HELP at any time during these phone calls.
"Tell me . . . Say something like . . . " you don't happen to be talking about AT&T, do you? This is just too familiar.
In this case, you must speak loud, slow and with good enunciation in order for them to 'hear' you correctly.
Good luck :)

Companies that call you up just to put you on hold and then tell you that there are no available agents and to please call them back later. :huh:
and people wonder why I hate phones?
