Where do I start?
May as well go with the ones rather low on the ladder first:

Whistlers - I'm sorry if you whistle, there is a small possibility I won't hate you for it but chances are you'll be as annoying to me as termites are to Heather Mills. There's just something about that particular note that figuratively bores into my brain and switches on the rage component.

Loudness - closely related to whistling, I hate loudness. Now don't get me wrong, a crowd enjoying itself, loud music at a concert, any noise with a cause doesn't bother me in the slightest but needless vibrations of air molecules invades my personal space almost as badly as 'that' drunk girl. It's unfortunate for me since my flatmate seems to enjoy silence in his room and the kitchen but loves exploding in a torrent of whistling and singing of the perfect pitch to drive me crazy in the hallway.

Jack Thompson - and all his ilk. The sort who crawl out of their hiding places just in time for the release of the latest violent game. So GTA4 has been released and we can expect the emergence of thousands of psychopathic, game fuelled killers? Nah! Of course those with sense understand this but these right wing nut jobs have their fingers firmly stuck in their ears when it comes to sense and their influence extends to those who submerge themselves in scaremongering news stations like Fox, CNN and the Daily Mail.

Abusers of grammar - these don't annoy me as much as Jack Thompson-alikes but I just thought of it and can't be bothered to change the order. It's, its, your, you're, there, they're, their, were, we're, then, than. All of these words seem to be interchangeable to many. Worse, there are those who are convinced that the total opposite is correct. Why does this annoy me? Because if they just learnt the meaning of an apostrophe they could eliminate half of the mistakes.

George Bush - we're meant to trust enough nuclear warheads to blast the Earth out of orbit to the guy who says 'misunderestimate'? I think not. Who the hell were the fools who let this monkey run the country for a second term?

But most importantly is non-sunny weather, I bought a pair of sunglasses and I want to wear them damn it!

who were the fools?
the programmers of the touch screen ballot machines. Diebold. As long as we count the votes, your vote doesn't count.
