I'm annoyed by people who will ride your ass while you're doing 90 down the highway, but as soon as you change lanes to let them pass, will slow down to 75.
People who talk loudly on the train really fucking piss me off too. There's insufficient leg room for someone my height, so I'm feeling cramped, trying to relax as best I can, I do not need some shrew of a hag sitting three rows behind me loudly telling everyone around her how she told her boss how it was going to be, because she knows best about everything. God damn that's annoying. Same goes for teenaged girls and thugs. Trains should be quiet places, with murmured conversations and a lot of people sunk in their own miserable solitude.
Going with what lurker said, I'm not a fan of that whole incomplete information thing either. A few times I've been asked to do something, only to realize once I begin that I need access to something that I don't have access to yet. Of course, the reason I'm assigned to these things is because the higher ups are busy with other things. This means they're generally not available to get me access to whatever it is I need.
Also, sometimes the underlying assumptions are wrong. This pisses me off because you'd think the people closest to the issue would have the best understanding. This is not the case. I've had to, on occasion, actually read through entire contracts looking for specific terms and conditions because we find out after the fact that oh wait, the initial scope of the assignment was too narrow.
One other thing that's been getting on my nerves more lately, though it doesn't necessarily impede me in any way is the blatantly naive pronouncements made by people high school through college age, about the injustice and tragedy of every god damned little inconvenience in their lives. My sister got a nose piercing, and then found out that her job doesn't allow for it. Weeks and weeks of bitter complaining that free speech was being curtailed. Similar pronouncements that everyone should fall in line with their unique standards of righteousness and justice. "What? People way back-country in the mountains are still racist? Well we should bring in some black people and make them accept them!"
Along those lines you also have flaming gay people who insist that not only must they be tolerated, but they must be accepted by everyone, universally, and it should be a law, and we should have the death penalty for people who are mean.
You know, these kids aren't kids anymore. We're talking 18+. Childhood needs to be cut short again. These people can vote and they haven't removed their heads from their asses yet.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
