People talking loudly on their cell phones at the store, that's just one I can think of.

People who park in my driveway...and I can't get out of my own garage...

(It's a fire zone, with no street parking.)

I am most annoyed with issues pertaining to selfishness, ignorance and/or cruelity...

Folks that let their kids cry/scream for long periods out in public

Folks that let their dogs bark for HOURS!

Folks that can't be bothered using their turn signals when they drive

Folks that love to stir the pot

The near 100% of ads/commercials nowadays that are either for foods or drugs that intentionally keep folks sick for profit/$ (Big Food/Big Pharma)

People that pull out in front of you drive 4 ft and then stop to turn left.

People that bring little kids to church and don't bring

stuff to keep them occupied. Sunday, I gave 3 kids coloring books and crayons to keep them occupied.

People should know little kids aren't going to listen to a sermon when they're 3-4 yrs. old. Bring games or quiet toys or take them to the childrens room.

@Desertdi Why don't you call the police to have them towed?

OH I do call the police. The Phoenix police can ticket the car, but I would have to pay a towing company to have the vehicle moved.

The last time it happened I asked how much the fine was: $75.

A couple times tho, I had to take a cab to work. I was NOT happy about that... di

@Desertdi. Have a sign made indicating people blocking you garage or driveway will be towed.

I think I would start parking in my driveway with only a centimeter between my tail end and the street. Anyone blocking the car would be having to park almost in the middle of the street.

That as got to be the worst feeling in the world is walking out to start your day and not being able to use your car and it does not even have so much as a flat tire!! Sorry @Desertdi those people are incredibly rude.

@Kachina624 @beckyb1012

This has been a PIA since I have lived in this house (30 years). It's not a thru street, and people used to make U-turns in my driveway to get back out. ONE of them hit my garage door.

Because of the "no parking", people also parked RIGHT IN MY FRONT YARD, smashing my garden, and leaving tire tracks. I had BOULDERS "planted" by the curb, and that stopped.

It's PITCH DARK (no streetlights), so I guess they "think" they can get away with it. di

Is it possible to put a gate at the entrance of your driveway?

Re: Things That Are Annoying

@lgfan

I dont think the HOA would allow it, and it wouldn't be practical. The road is on a hill and a curve. di

If I had to take a cab to work. I'd let the air out of their tires before I left.

The police read the plates. Some of these people were my NEIGHBORS, and other cars were from nowhere around here. di

I get so upset sometimes trying to go to the public library just down from one of our elementary schools. Those Mama's get in line very early and block both entrances on two different streets into the library. Your either stuck inside or cannot get in. Never again will I feel sorry for myself since once the school bell rings things move pretty quickly. You have my sympathies @Desertdi

People talking loudly on their cells on plane!!!. I learned that the callers sister and her husband are not getting along. But, he's a weird guy and she thinks it won't last long. I'm not kidding you.By the way, their names are Lucy and Aaron this is what she was yapping about on call before she got on plane. I also know the caller left her key, under pot by side door, near the trowel, but the key only opens back door. But be careful of the dog, she jumps. The pet sitter will take dog for walk, and feed hamster. TMIwe were all forced to hear to talk for about 30 mins.
