People who vape in places that are marked "No Smoking" and believe that this does not apply to them. I'm sorry but your vape exhalations are just as offensive as tobacco smoke.

Plus, many of the things already listed on this post.

"Thank You for your service" I'm a Viet Nam vet and no one gave s**t about my service, so it annoys the c**p out of me now.

I agree completely. But when a democrat says common sense gun laws it's like nails scraping on a blackboard.

The stigma associated with the word "ignorant". It's not an insult to say that someone is uneducated on a topic, but most folks will take great offense at being told that they are ignorant about something.
What is the difference between ignorance and stupidity?
Ignorance is curable.

I care.

I usually tell them, "No need for thanks, I enjoyed the work."

Creeps them out.

Another :txflag: well done!

Good thread to read and get a few laughs.

A couple of folks commented that maybe collectively, we shouldn't be so critical of others. Good point. I don't think any of us would claim to be perfect.

Still, I don't think it's that bad to encounter some of the stuff described and shake your head or even roll your eyes.

Sometimes it'll even make you think about your own habits which may or may not annoy someone!

"Human resources" is another bit of corporate re-naming I dislike. What was wrong with the word: "Personnel"?

The term "Human Resources" reduces people to something akin to minerals...

This reminds me of a manager I used to have who, when asked "do you have any resources available for this job?" would always respond, "no, but I do have people available." He must have been annoyed by the term human resources! :biggrinjester:
