People who can't hang up their cellphones and drive, order food, or anything else really piss me off. Also the idiots who thinks its perfectly OK to drive 10 under the speed limit on major streets in town irritate me to no end. And I can't stand the idiots who come up to me in the bar district near my college and feel its their duty to tell me just how drunk they are, like they deserve a medal or something.

At work, we have prepay pumps and non prepay pumps. (I work at a gas station) The prepays are CLEARLY marked prepay. I don't know if half the population of my town are illiterate fucktards or what, but I'm *always* having to go on the mic and say something to the effect of, "I'm sorry pump #11, that is a prepay or pay at the pump, please either pay with your credit card or come inside and pay your cashier, thank you!"
When all I really want to do is get on there and say, "Hey, pump 11! Learn how to fucking read!"
It happens at LEAST 15x in am 8 hour shift, and most of these people are regular customers! GAH!

People in a store, that stand there talking to someone else while I wait to get an item off the shelf they're standing in front of. They see me standing there patiently, but don't move.

How about someone at the head of a long line who is writing a check?

And the fucking Giants. Man what a shitty day.
People who use the incorrect words. They don't know the difference between:
There, their, they're
Two, to, too
Hear, here
Are, our
Forth, fourth
Accept, except
And don't get me started on the "I before E except after C" scenario
Listen you fuckwads, we are not talking about difficult words like "somnambulism" or even "reticence" for God's sake. This is basic English grammar from the fourth grade!

And have you ever thought that some people have a learning disability (dyslexia for instance) and really have problems with the things you've described?
It's not that they're stupid. Their brains just don't work like yours and mine. I know, because Gil is dyslexic. No one picked up on it until I met him in 2004. I've worked with children who have it. Please try to be a bit more tolerant!

If this was my classroom I'd agree with you. However, this is the Internet and those things just don't matter here.
What if they like to change. I
love changing personalties but i
dont change just for sex. I could
care less if i got some as i say
if it happens it happens
Sorry, the examples I see are NOT from any form of dyslexia or other learning disability problems. And the last time I checked, it was still an option to voice one's opinion, so please try to be a bit more tolerant of that yourself.

Spelling and Students with Learning Disabilities
By: Louise Spear-Swerling (2005)
Students with learning disabilities in reading usually have problems in spelling as well. Spelling can be especially difficult for these students, for several reasons. First, the core deficit in reading disability (RD) typically involves word decoding, and many of the same weaknesses that impact word decoding in individuals with RD---such as poor phonemic awareness or poor knowledge of letter-sound relationships---also influence spelling. Furthermore, spelling is affected by independent reading and exposure to text; avid readers see more words in print and have more opportunities to learn spellings of specific words. Because individuals with RD are rarely avid readers, lack of exposure to printed words may adversely influence their spelling. Finally, English spelling is complex, drawing upon several different kinds of knowledge. Effective teaching of this knowledge is especially crucial for students with RD.

There are many online articles about learning disabilities......this being only one.
Dysgraphia - What is Dysgraphia?
Dysgraphia is a learning disability that affects writing abilities. It can manifest itself as difficulties with spelling, poor handwriting and trouble putting thoughts on paper. Because writing requires a complex set of motor and information processing skills, saying a student has dysgraphia is not sufficient. A student with disorders in written expression will benefit from specific accommodations in the learning environment, as well as additional practice learning the skills required to be an accomplished writer.
