Additional Things that I Just Don't Like
People who touch my computer monitor
Nothing is worse than a big, oily fingerprint in the middle of a monitor screen. The worst part is that people are completely oblivious to this. They cannot seem to grasp the concept that pointing at an area on a screen is just as effective as prodding it. I think the only reason they do that is for the “goopy” effect on some flat-panels. They must not realize that those fingerprints are a pain in the neck to get off. Also, if they prod it with a fingernail, it can damage the screen itself and leave permanent marks.Able-bodied people who use an elevator in a two-story building
I am a very lazy person, but refuse to stoop to this level of laziness. People will actually press the button and stand there waiting for an elevator to come. I could understand if the stairs were on the opposite end of the hall, but they are generally located right next to the elevator in most of these dinky buildings. What we need are industrial-sized springs that shoot people up vertically, like in cartoons. I don’t mean to lift them to the next floor; I mean to splatter them all over the ceiling.Vacuuming
This is my least favorite chore. I would happily do anything else if it would get me out of vacuuming. I don’t know where this distaste stems from, so I’m assuming there was some tragic vacuum accident that got hidden away in my subconscious.People who don’t understand the message conveyed in tailgating

Vacumming is my favorite chore!
Honestly, you must have not tried the good brands of soy-based or non-soy based meat alternatives. Try Quorn "ckicken".. it tastes just like real chicken, and I have had meat-eaters testify that too. Off brands are usually bland, but morningstar farms has some really good stuff. Besides, when people refuse to become vegetarian because they love fried chicken, or pork chops, or veal just too much to ever give them up, reason hears in that the voice of gluttony, willfulness, or at best moral complaisance. Humans should be able to understand that the needless suffering of an animal is more important than their meal’s taste, especially in modern times of delicious meat-alternatives sure to satisfy any foodie’s palette.
I don't like when people use the elevator to get the the 2nd floor either, but it is sometimes hard to tell if someone is really able-bodied. *shrug* Aw come on, vacuuming? It's so easy you just move the vacuum around, lol. I don't think there's a chore that I HATE doing, maybe doing laundry. Yeah.. folding laundry gets tedious.
And I really hope you don't tailgate people. It is the most nerve-wracking thing to have some "me-first" asshole tailgaiting me when I am driving over the speed limit.. and it seems to always be huge trucks or SUVs too. @_@
I agree with 1 and 2. The last two are just "meh" for me.

Whats even worse about the computer monitor thing is when they do it right in front of you, and they realize that they have left a huge oily mark on your monitor and act as though nothing has happened. Makes me want to grab their arm and break it into a million little pieces!
