-any Kardashian, and their camp followers
-guys who cruise in the passing lane
-needy relatives
-the latest cool app that you just gotta see
-ALL religious fanatics
-hangovers
-uncomfortable shoes
-anything 'cute'
-sleeping on anything other than a bed
-friends you only hear from when they want something
-the story of your doctor visit
-Siri, etc. in my house (how soon before these things talk to each other)?
-camping
- 'Hello, this is Michelle. There is nothing wrong with your credit card, but...'
-bald heads with compensating pony tails
-bars that are too loud for a conversation
-extended warranties
-'The University of Michigan is a Public Ivy, ya know.'
-Snapchat
-paddle shifters (stick shift or GTFO)

I would add:
- hearing, talking or posting about "Sandusky" crap.
- people smoking in cars with the window open
- ME-llennials !!!
- how long a baseball game is
 
Snowflakes
People who flick cigarette butts on the ground
People who throw trash out their car windows
Man buns
People with bumpers stickers covering the back of their car, trying to impose their philosophy on you
People texting while you are conducting a business conversation
Loud phone talkers in a restaurant
Maniacal kids

Is it bad that I'm 29 and agree with pretty much all of this?
 
I'll toss in:
- Facebook/Twitter/Instagram.
- People complaining that the current generation of kids/teens, Gen-x, Gen-y, Millennial are the worst generation ever, but never taking responsibility for raising said generation to be that way.
- Political discussions that turn people into rabid animals.
- The comments section of any "news" website
- People complaining about the latest fad - currently fidgit spinners
 
- Last night I was leaving a live performance at a theater, and the woman in the aisle seat blocked the rest of us from leaving by standing in front of her seat and making a phone call.
- My "Michelle" is named "Heather," and she'll call from Florida five minutes before she calls again from Missouri.
- Grocery store checkout lanes that suddenly open, and everybody behind you rushes over while you've been standing there with one item for almost 10 minutes.
- Journalists who tell the person they're interviewing "talk about (fill in the blank)." Ask a damn question!
 
I'll buy a lot of these, but I hope I'm never too old for Kim Kardashian.

Yes. I ask myself why this bothers me so much, but it does. "You're welcome." Another line I still use which I learned at the feet of my pet dinosaur, "How do you do?" Does anyone say that anymore?

Eh... "How do you do?" sounds like something said by some British royalty. Too formal for everyday use.

Haha, totally agree. How about people who start a conversation with, 'I'm sorry, but...'

Yes, so tired of that. Don't say you're sorry, you're not sorry, if you were actually sorry you wouldn't be telling me what you're about to tell me. I'm not a child, I can handle bad news. Unless you personally wronged me in some way you have no need to say you're sorry.

yes and no. But stick with it! Lowering your tolerance for BS earlier in life isn't a bad thing, just may make you slightly less cuddly to those who don't have their s*** together.
 
People who grab/scratch their ass/crotch in front of anyone; those who use their fingers to blow their nose.

I'm ok with "I'm sorry, but..." if what follows is something helpful that the speaker knows will upset me, etc. Otherwise, I'm with you.

What gets me is "I'm ____, by the way." Have some balls and introduce yourself like you're worthy of respect. Hey ____, if you think who you are is so unimportant as to warrant a "by the way," then I don't really care who you are.

Bro, dude, or literally is every other word that comes out of kids mouths nowadays
Social media is the devil's spawn
There is no journalism any more, only sensationalism and opinion
There's still journalism, but it's become much harder to separate from all the rest.

"after many hours of prayer"
 
You're not old enough or you would have never included sleeping in anything but a bed. Naps are a necessity.
 
-people that leave their carts unattended in the middle of the aisle at the grocery store (although I have fun raming the sh*t of of them) :D

-those texting when the light turns green

Even more than unattended carts in a store are those who refuse to return the cart after they have put all of their groceries in their car.

This has nothing to do with how old you are. Mostly just common sense and a complete lack of f**ks to give.

Now get off my lawn.
