When paying the tab in a restaurant, hearing "Do you need change?"
It's always the worst waiters/waitresses who ask and my answer is always "Yes, please."

I did time in the food service world and I know it ain't easy, but it will be the service that determines the tip.   
Be master of your petty annoyances and conserve your energies for the big, worthwhile things. It isn't the mountain ahead that wears you out - it's the grain of sand in your shoe.

My immediate reply would be, "Now that you remind me, yes please!"  ;D

Internet human tests - those things that make you read letters and then type them - when they make the things really hard to read.  Is that necessary?  Sometimes I can't identify the letters!  Grrr...  >:(

Babies and small children in movie theaters. Every parent seems to think they have the one baby in the world that isn't going to start screeching when the movie gets loud and scary. 99% of them are wrong. >:I

Lol, I love this thread!

People talking to me while I'm talking on the phone to another person.  It's impossible to balance someone talking in one year and another talking in the other. 

Mainstream Hollywood drives me nuts.  I'm so sick of seeing Angelina Jolie, Sandra Bullock, Julia Roberts, Nichole Kidman etc etc. etc. in every single movie out there when they are so many other original actors with REAL talent not popularity.  ...I do however have to swallow my pride everytime I see Brad Pitt in Inglorious Basterds, he CRACKS me up in that movie.

I haven't seen Brad Pitt in a movie I didn't enjoy. Love Meet Joe Black.

Inglorious Bastards was a very good movie.

I have recently realized how much I hate children. I have never met somebody under 10 who wasn't in my family that I liked.

I've never really been fond of children, but have a natural gift of motherly insticts, which really sucks, cuz then I'll do one thing that seems kinda of parental, and the kid'll cling to my side like there's no tomorrow. :P

I'm glad I saw this -- I was channel surfing and just passed this movie.  I'm only sorry it's on a commercial channel.

Normally I don't care for Tarantino (I know, sacrilege) but I loved Inglorious Basterds and Pitt's performance was just the main reason.  That scene in the theater when Raine was trying to pass himself off as Italian, I was on the floor laughing.
