Pet Peeves that make you seem like a crazy person

I don't like it when people leave their greasy fingerprints on computer screens. It's not like they absolutely need to press the screen surface to point out something. It would be quite enough to point in the general direction from a few of centimeters off.

Oh man, yes.

Also similar, when people double-click on everything. It's usually older people who do this, and I guess maybe it's just because they haven't grown up around computers. But still, I just hate that sound when it's unnecessary.

That reminds me of the sound of the scroller on top of mouses.... and people who instead of using sidebar to move text in a blink of an eye, use this very noisy scroller for 10 seconds or more... At work and at home, I had to dismantle every mouse, get rid of the tiny metallic bit reponsible for the noise, reassemble the mice. Ok, the feel is not the same, but they can't do anything about it and I don't hear that sound anymore.

...or large enough for them to get distracted while they natter away on their cell phone, and they don't notice the stop sign you are both approaching. They rear-end you, and then blame you.

Using the insurance money, they purchase a large SUV, and then inadvertently kill the next person they are tailgating, or pedestrians.

The only way to deal with these people is to piss them off more by going the speed limit, or slower. I happily move out of the way on the highway, unless I'm already going 75mph, they *really* piss me off, and no one is behind them. Then I slow down to match speeds with a large truck.

Well law system in France is a tad different, you can not win on anything..
Plus I did this only on highways... limiting the risks (turns, stops and so on)
