Lately fairways just seem to be the smooth areas I cross to go find my ball.
Lately my biggest pet peeve is soccer moms in HUGE SUVs, on a hand held cellphone cutting me off.

People who take the trash bag out of the can but don't put a new one in. Then they are too lazy to get one in and throw the trash in the unlined can.
Cap off of toothpaste tubes. Also; toothpaste on my bathroom counter (see part one of this pet peeve). That stuff sucks to get off when its dried up.
Not getting a new roll of toilet paper BEFORE you sit down and then yelling at me to go get you some.
Women who think its their god given right to sit in my section at the resturant all night and not let someone else sit there (and allow me to make more money). Ladies; there is an hour wait for a table; think you might want to take this to a coffee shop so someone else can have diner.
No smoking signs.
Frivolous lawsuits and prosecutors chasing a bad case to make a name for themselves. They should be beaten really really bad cause suing them wont make them learn. Pain is a better remeady sometime.
Politicians who think "they know whats best for the people" they represent but really have no clue and are just pushing their own self serving agenda.
The type of testostrone that causes hair folicles to stop working.

Good topic Craig. Almost too many to list. Here's a couple.
1. Our Congress, who continually sell us out. I know of 10 people who called our senators to vote against this nonsense ill imm bill. Yet, they vote yes on it.
2. The people who continually vote these clowns back into office!
3. My wife and oldest daughter, who seem to always use my razor even though they each have about 5 Lady Schicks, Lady Venus Flytraps, etc. When I ask why, I get "I couldn't find mine." Even though they're right in the shower!!
OK, I feel a little better now.

Definately the razor thing.
Or how about the closet. I get one little corner and 3 drawers to shove my clothes in, while she takes up the rest, and don't forget to watch where you step inthe closet, you might get a spike from a high heel if it wasn't put away properly from one of her 100+ pairs.
Or how about idiot callers that call right in the middle of dinner, that realy pvs me

1. Left turners who, when exiting from a parking lot, don't move over enough to the left, and sit there waiting for an opening while us right-turners have to wait for them.
2. People who don't empty their mailbox for 2 weeks, then complain when their mail gets mangled.
3. Sean Hannity

Drivers who think they're being nice but are actually giving up their right of way and hosing traffic behind them. Right of way was created for a reason.
Cyclists who act above the laws of traffic be it vehicular or pedestrian (cyclists can be counted as either in WA).
Police who act above the law (primarily witnessed in traffic).
Forum trolls. And the closed minded my-opinion-is-gospel-truth idiots they tend to be offline as well.
Bands who opt to get drinks, or chat up friends after they play instead of clearing off stage so the next band can get on because the venue only allows 15 minutes between sets and they're eating into our set time.
Bands who get pissed when after 15 minutes of not clearing their gear, I start clearing it.
Musicians who forget VITAL pieces of gear (i.e. drummers and cymbals) and ask to use mine (if you aren't responsible enough to bring it, you aren't responsible enough to use mine).
Venue bookers who don't care about their job, book bad, disjointed bills, and wonder why people don't stick around for the (insert genre A here) band after the (insert opposite of genre A here) band played.
etc ...
The music world is full of stuff that makes me crazy

1. Liberal democrats

5. Professional athletes (and actors) who think that they can do anything they please including drugs, sex, and forcing dogs to kill each other.
6. People who torture animals.
7. Co-workers who have the exact same position as me thinking that just because they have been with the company a few years longer than me that they are somehow my boss.
8. People who think they are better than everyone.
9. Not returning phone calls or emails.
10. People who flat-out do not do their jobs and then get mad when people call them out.
11. Motivational speakers who over generalize and make stupid conclusions that have no application in the real world.
12. Global warming.
Gosh. I feel better!

Don't get me started on this one, I am totally with you. 2 years ago I went to a meeing in SF where one of the investment companies had lined up a series of speakers, most of which were portfolio managers and economists. As I am taking notes when these speakers are on, I am noticing that the other folks around me are reading their papers, checking emails, etc. But the minute some ridiculous motivational speaker comes on to talk about Tiger Woods (I am a huge fan but what it had to do with investments is beyond me) and Greg Norman - they put down their papers and started taking notes. I don't get it.
Oh and the hockey peeve - make sure you stay out of the "Blues" at MSG for Ranger games. :lol:
Knowing you are going to have a nice slow day at the office and it is way to hot to golf :cry:

Have you ever tried to play golf in the middle of the day in the desert :lol: By the 9th hole you are drenched, and about to have heat stroke because you chose beer over water, I mean didn't drink enough water :wink:
But seriously when it is 110 outside, it's not so much fun. Now if I started at 5:30am would be a perfect time for golf here, it is only about 902-93 degrees at that point.
Congressmen who propose stupid tax increases that would put my local cigar shop out of business and keep me from participating in a hobby I enjoy very much.
Folks who don't screw cap's back on bottle's or jar's.
Don't close bags with the chip clip,cereal, chip's, frozen frie's etc.
