[SkiCougar]

Person(s) who order vodka soda at a dive bar.

that tito's vodka is on the liquors displayed bar at so many places, saw it at modis in Breckenridge last week. supposedly its a good rated vodka, but a texas vodka just doesn't seem right.

went to an urban cowboy bar with friends (very good multi-instrumentalist was playing, Joe Craven for you Norcal folks) and my friends both ordered banana daquiris. Last I heard they didn't have those on chuck wagons. Even more amusing--the bartender had no problem making them.

The new over-achiever plow guy. Plows 3 feet back from the actual road, damaging my driveway, and builds up a 3 foot wall of snow on a 2 inch day. I mean, thanks for plowing our roads and stuff. But when it only snows a few inches, I don't expect to have to snowblow the driveway and get rid of the wall just to get to work. Come on man!

You need new friends. And a new bar.

I'm sorry to break it to you like this.

Done and done. (They moved away and the bar is long gone, although any bar that has Joe Craven play isn't all bad).

Pretty common...hard cores don’t go for taste, just booze

It’s legitimately good- one of the top selling spirits now, at least in the US. I’ve met Tito. He’s a nice guy.

guys who preen their beards with a brush or comb in public.

How in every car commercial they insist on filming the vehicle at a speed such that it looks like the wheels are turning backward.

My coworker who has started dropping "to be" from her sentences - I think this is a Midwest thing. Example: "The car needs washed," "The presentation needs updated," etc.

Actually, now that I read those examples, I think this probably should annoy me.

Whether it is nobler in the mind to suffer. The slings and arrows of annoying grammar. Or to take arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing, end them.

Ha! I love how the Padded Room goes from intermittent fisting to Shakespeare humor.

Non edible garnishes at restaurants.

[Stardrift]

When my wife changes the setting on the toaster and I don't notice. It's not her fault, but, man, do I get frustrated when I'm late for work and all I have to eat are the cremated remains of my bread.

[iceman]

Hey if we can get annoyed about cremated bread the terrorists have won.

People who call all pasta “macaroni”

[riser4]

People who complain about parody threads.

Getting run off a cat track by a random molecule. We all started somewhere with skiing and newbies need to be given space. But when you track them for a few turns so you know which side to pass, they make a quick erratic turn right to the edge and force you off. Overtaking skier always yields but sucks when you take a banger to avoid contact with them.
