people who must be destroyed (or at least whipped soundly with something covered in spikes)
people who walk through the turnstiles on the subway and then stop RIGHT THERE; whoever designed the plastic packaging that seems to be ubiquitous for small items these days--the stuff you need a blowtorch, a sledgehammer and a full block of butter to open; people who preach the gospel of the atkins diet as though it were a healthy approach to life; people who start slowing down for a red light while the light is STILL GREEN; people who drink PBR (or do anything) purely because it's ironic; americans over the age of eighteen who don't vote (seriously people, c'mon); men who catcall/grab/stick their faces in your cleavage without express permission; people who stop in the middle of a busy sidewalk during rushhour (or at any time in soho) and just look around vacantly; girls who talk about sex ad nauseam--purely for attention; whoever decided that UGG boots are aesthetically pleasing; whoever came up with the notion of comment spamming; the progenitor of fully automated, voice-recognition customer service, which neither recognizes nor serves the customer; members of aggressive street teams whose denizens won't let you walk by without harassing you (greenpeace, i'm looking at you); kevin federline.
who would you add?
Posted by shivery at juillet 19, 2004 05:03 PMi have no problem with girls that talk about sex ad nauseum... even if it is just for attention. this may be because i'm not getting any lovin, but that's just a guess.
Posted by: Josh at juillet 20, 2004 12:04 AMPeople who get on the underground train before they have let passengers off. They just can't realise that their rudeness is delaying everyone, including themselves. A little simple courtesy on their part, and the pain of the commute into work gets a little less for all of us.

AND THEY AGREED.
Spikes.
Wear wellies to the slaughter.
Stuart: Amen brother!
Anyone who doesn't understand subjectivity. Just because you think it "rox" or '"sux" doesn't mean I have to feel that way too.
Oh, and anyone who can't be bothered to spell correctly. Give 'em a big whack upside the head with an Unabridged Oxford Engish Dictionary....with spikes! Mind you, start in with the OED and you're going to need more than wellies, a wet suit and scuba gear might be in order.

Posted by: jen at juillet 20, 2004 02:54 PMPeople who bring their screaming babies camping and let them scream next to my camp site all night long. Grumble.
Posted by: jenn at juillet 20, 2004 06:00 PMjen: what IS the very good reason for putting babies on leashes?
stuart: you're already using the carnage/galoshes logic. erin will be proud.
Posted by: k at juillet 20, 2004 11:57 PMthere really isn't one that I know of, I just didn't want to offend anyone who might have a child who needed to be on a leash for medical reasons?
Posted by: jen at juillet 21, 2004 01:44 AMI would be disturbed being around a child who needed restraining for medical reasons.
