“The 12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaway: Day 43 – A set of Audioengine 5N Bamboo speakers!
This contest is closed. Congrats to faithful Macenstein reader Steve.
On the Forty-Third Day After Christmas, Macenstein gave to you (or, more accurately, gave you a chance to win…) A set of A5N Powered Bookshelf Speakers (in BAMBOO!) !
AAARRGGHHH! If only I could enter my own contest! Damnit. Well, one of you lucky bastards is about to be taken on an audio trip to AWESOMETOWN!
I actually have a pair of the white Audio Engine A5’s, and I use them daily in my demolition job to knock down houses. These things are scary loud, and amazingly distortion free, even at ear-bleeding levels. And you’re actually getting the cooler, more expensive version of the A5’s, the Eco-friendly, $450 Bamboo model. God, I hate you.
Audioengine 5N (A5N) - All of the simple but useful features and same signature sound of the award-winning A5 wrapped in rock solid and beautifully hand-finished bamboo.
Bamboo is an excellent alternative to hardwoods and the dark bamboo used for the Audioengine A5N cabinets is not a stain, but achieved through a specialized heating process. As the wood is pressure heated, the sugar compounds inside the bamboo are “carbonized” which in turn darkens the bamboo to a rich caramel color. Awesome sound, great looks, eco-friendly, and panda-safe.
Above: That AC outlet is PERFECT for hooking up an AirPort express and blasting tunes from your home computer (via the remote app on your iPhone/iPod touch, of course!)A5N Eco-friendly features:
Made from renewable and sustainable solid bamboo – no veneers
No stains or paint used – naturally “carbonized” finish sealed with hand-rubbed water-based satin polyurethane
Other green facts and features:Audioengine products are now 100% lead-free and meet the EU’s RoHS initiative
All speaker cabinet materials use environmentally-friendly binders and resins
Formaldehyde-free adhesives are used in our cabinet assembly
All Audioengine products meet ENERGY STAR requirements in standby
Limited use of plastics in our products
Easy-to-recycle packaging
To enter: Since obviously you will annoy your neighbors (and THEIR neighbors) with the A5’s, we’re wondering, What’s the ONE THING you find most annoying/rude about other people? Winners will be picked randomly 7 days later and notified (kind of like in The Ring, only with less killing… we hope). Open to US readers only. Good luck, and thanks for reading Macenstein! (Oh, and be sure to enter ALL our “12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaways!)
Please note: Comments may take a while to show up, please do not double-post. Thanks!

Bad driving such as running red lights, not using turn signals, cutting off other drivers, etc.
When they assume they know more than you about something without having first asked you what you know.
I’m going to go with the opposite of Christopher up there: when they assume that you know about something without actually telling you about it. Like, assuming that you know the intricacies of a system at a job you just started that week, or assuming that you know about an event that they never told you about. I can’t read your mind, guys. Even worse if they get MAD at you for not reading their mind.
Thank you for the giveaway!
people airing their dirty laundry on facebook or other social networks as if they it were private, but it’s there for all the world to see.
making noises when eating/drinking. Can’t STAND it. The same with heavy breathing and foot wiggling while watching the tv.
People that slam doors. Just because it’s your apartment, doesn’t mean that everyone else in the complex can’t hear it … at 4 am.
I have such little faith in the human race as a whole that I could probably sit here and write about 357 things that annoy the fuck out of me.
But I’ll stick with two and say people changing lanes without using their indicator and people who refuse to set their phones to vibrate in the library. This could also be applied to the movies, but seeing as I’m currently in the library I’ll go with that.
passive aggressiveness PERIOD.
People who don’t smoke and complain when I do. Really, what’s up with that?
Making broad assumptions about a person solely based on their looks…
Crazy driving — Without a doubt. Eek!
eating with their mouth open
When they eat tuna and leave the can out
Not looking at you when speaking to you.
People with bad breath talking too close
when people assume im their best friend when i dont really know them
Laziness.
Loud swearing in public.
When people eat more loudly than anyone ever should. It’s disgusting.
their annoying ringtones.
cell phones in restaurants
People who act as though you are not there.
When they depend too much on the freakin GPS and almost run you off the road making last minute turns.
I abhor the loud bass coming from cars these days. The bass us so powerful it makes me nauseous. How about keeping it in the house with a pair of A5Ns.
Laziness just drives me crazy.
I get quite perturbed about customers who think as long as they make it into the store before our 6pm closing time, they are entitled to spend as much time as they want keeping me from going home.
Idiotic driving.
people who know about 15% of a story or info but act as if they know 100% and are right.
Women (usually) who have to gesture with their “free” hand while talking on their cell phones. Since one hand is holding the cell phone to their ear and the other hand is gesturing frantically, neither hand is on the steering wheel!!!!
Those speakers are sweet! Annoying behavior: bad drivers, especially people turning corners with one hand holding a cell phone to the ears as they almost smash into you because they’re not paying attention. Don’t get me started!
Whatever it is that makes WONDERFUL women date @sshole guys who treat them poorly.
Using a phone while driving.
Okay, well. These speakers look incredible. So. What annoys me… I’m sorry to say (and I mean it) is this: people who habitually comment on blogs…
People who wear their bluetooth headset all the time.
“Are you talking to me? Talking to yourself? I can’t tell!”
Folks who don’t use turn signals when driving. They drive me bananas!
People who text and drive annoy me most. Especially when they believe that they’re just as safe, and that nothing can go wrong. I’d love to see people who are caught texting and driving repeatedly losing their licenses.
Lack of driving skills… especially a blinker!!
Did I win?
People who are ungrateful.
People who judge others on there look and clothing. Beautiful Speakers
People who flip-flop webhosts then tweet asking if people see their site. haha, sorry, had to…
What is really annoying to me is: when people talk on their cell phones in public like they are the only one in the room. Please tone it down!
By far, the most annoying thing about people is pervasive, egregious, aberrant stupidity.
People with absolutely no courtesy while driving…. I know, of course it’s more important for *THEM* to get where they’re going 5 seconds faster.
Talking on thier cell phones when I’m trying to talk on mine
Using their GD cell phones while completely oblivious to everything around them.
What I find rude/annoying, people that are disrespectful.
I find cell phone use while driving amazingly annoying, I’d rather be on the road with someone who blows .08 BAC than someone on a cell.
Patrons
When the person walking in front of me slips into a closing door, instead of giving it a small push to keep it open for others behind them.
People that are always late.
What annoys me the most is people that won’t think for themselves. They often ask other people instead of simply searching for the information they need.
People that snap their gum. Loudly and often.
People who like to boast about their newest purchase.
PS: Did I tell you about my new Nexus One?
People that ‘try’ to drive and talk on their cell phones.
That they’re selfish
Not being me!
people that waste food
When people go on and on when they’re trying to get their point across. How about some brevity with those thoughts people?
Bad driving
Sneezing and not covering their face.
You know, you know…..
Bad manners. Self-centeredness
Their lack of driving ability. How hard is it to get to 50 mph in a 50 mph zone?
Smokers, drunks, people who talk loudly in libraries, cell phone use in inappropriate places, people who fidget during orchestral performances, stupid cellphone ring tones, Republicans, TV commercials, all rate highly. So I’d have to say:
Drunk Republican smokers who talk loudly into cellphones in the cinema, while waving their hands.
Chewing with your mouth open…
People that are stupid. I can’t stand ‘em
People who are used to talk too loud.
Gluttonous sounds while eating. Large gulping, slurping, sucking noises, chewing with your mouth open (mostly applies to people who don’t seem to realize gum also has the same annoying effect), and unrelated to food but in the category of the mouth – extraneous kissing noises. Leave that shit to poorly chosen movie sound effects.
Too many things.
Today, I found dog s*t in my lawn. F*g neighbors who don’t pick up after their f*g dogs.
young workers who expect unaccountability and a free ride
Clearly not thinking – or maybe just not caring – about how what they are doing affects other people.
social networking in public.
Everything annoys me.
Lateness/disrespect for other people’s time.
People who ask for advice, then don’t follow it, and later act amazed about what happened as if no one ever told them. They also usually don’t remember that you told them not to do it.
Stinky people
People that play crappy music on their headphones, extremely loud so everyone around them hears it, and then they just happen to sit next to me on the bus. I hate those people.
If I had these speakers, I could get some payback on said people. Now that I think about it, I NEED these speakers.
whispering in the library. whispers are actually really loud and hissy.
noisy people at the movies
Since I’m commenting from VA, that guy at the end of the pipestem (extended shared private driveway) who won’t help shovel the snow but doesn’t have a problem driving after you get it done.
I even annoy myself.
Stupidity.
I can’t stand when people stubbornly refuse to change their actions or views when presented when _objectively_ superior facts.
(I’m not talking about strong evidence. I’m talking about _proof_. Thus, I’m not specifically referring to anything political.)
ignorant people that like to stay ignorant
I hate when people are late appointments all of the time
People who don’t immediately appreciate my gravitas…
Eating and chewing with their mouth open.
people who are totally inconsiderate to those around them in any way – that should cover 80% of things that annoy me
pushing their ways through doors at resturants and stores not acknowledging you and when you hold the door for their rudeness they dont even give you a thank you
when people try to stand out by being disruptive.
People who repeat something they heard as a fact without bothering to actually find out if it’s true or not.
Driving all crazy
I don’t hate on smokers or anything, even though I’m not the biggest fan of the smoke itself – but I hate it when they throw their friggen butts all over the street – it adds up and litter is latter. damn. now I need some nice speakers to help me relax.
ignorance
CUTTERS!!! Come on people, we are adults now…Right? I have to wait in line to pick my daughter up from school just like everyone else, but some people feel they are too good for that. A couple of people every day drive on the wrong side of the lane to get to the front and then cut in front of others. Not sure if I hate them more than the spineless idiots that actually allow it though. That, and liars…
I hate the way other people drive!!! Hate it!
I’m going to single out my neighbor, who plays death metal on his bass rig all day at concert volume. He is my current symbol of human indifference to others’.
I hope to win these A5s to return the favor…
- Driving while on cell phone or texting
- People slamming their apartment doors
- People subscribed to a newspaper but does not read it so they let it pile-up on their doorstep
That I have to share resources with them. Like air. How inconsiderate.
I have to say with the number of stupid and rude people out there it is hard to narrow down the list to just one. So here are a few that get under my skin.
- At work when people do not get of the phone to buy their tickets or food.
- Bad drivers, especially those who do too many things while driving (Texting, Eating food, Digging around in the car and not looking forward…)
- People who blame you for things that you have no control over (this happens mostly at work for me).
- People who assume that they are right no matter what evidence you tell them to the contrary.
My list could go on for a while, but these are some that popped into my head.
I find it most annoying when people come to the Emergency Department of my hospital for a toothache, especially when they call for an ambulance to take them there, at 3 in the morning! and then they expect a ride home!
stupidity
Always being late!!! And what makes it worse is when you know you are always late and you dont care!
People who aren’t considerate to others around them. You don’t have to like me, just don’t piss me off!
Stupidity
People who constantly sigh is in my office just to bring attention to themselves. Not just every once in a while but constantly throughout the day.
LOUDNESS.
Body odor!
I can’t stand the constant complaining of some people.
not keeping promises.
Bad driving!
I hate it when people get lost.
Over achievers. I hate over achievers! They just suck so much and are no fun at all.
the most annoying thing is those that lack common sence.
People who talk like they know something.
Lack of courtesy to retail workers… seriously, you think those poor folks made the return policy up… get over it!
The most annoying thing about other people has to be their tendency to win contests I’m entered in. I mean, c’mon! I’ve never won a raffle or drawing in my life! Throw me a bone, luck!
Greed
When they just walk too damn slowly and get in my way.
People who overreact, almost always in a negative way, to little hiccups in life. I don’t mind emotion, but overreaction to things which are not life-altering or even mildly disruptive really tees me off!
The self absorbed, which seems to be most of the people I encounter anymore. Everything is about how it affects them. They will cut in front of you to get the sugar at the coffee bar, stop to talk to friends in the middle of the sidewalk, leaving no room to get around, driving slow in the fast lane… I could go on for a while, so I will leave it at that.
I would love to see a little more common courtesy for one’s fellow human being!
they don’t know when to shut up!
When people assume that just because I know about X (knowledge I’ve gotten through hard work and effort) I should have no problem solving their problem with X for free because “it will only take a few minutes”.
It makes me get all stabby!
Chewing and cracking gum loudly. Makes me want to take an icepick to either my own ears or theirs.
off the top of my head i thing THE one thing that annoys me is hypocracy
my neighbors that have so many damn cars they fill up the street in front of their house, my house, the other side of the street … how many cars do they need?!?!?
Oh, and if I win, i’ll take your white ones to match my other apple gear and you can have the bamboo
Mean people suck.
Incompetence.
Stupidity.
What annoys me more then anything is else is people talking on their cell phones about things I don’t need to know about. I don’t need to know that your man cheated on you with his step sister.
I don’t like people with attitude who are clearly doing something annoying to those around them – obnoxious behavior, yelling, whatever – and then act innocent when someone else shows annoyance at their behavior.
People who leave their grocery carts in the parking lot.
anyone reading over my shoulder
False sincerity (Hi!! I’m so glad to see you!! – NOT!)
People that talk a lot.
People that don’t say “bless you” when you sneeze.
I hate it when people take one last, big drag off their cigarette and then walk into the resterant and blow the smoke out as they walk through the no smoking area. GAG
Their existence.
nosy people who chew with their mouths open
When people dismiss new things without giving them a chance or having any knowledge pertaining to them.
Nice speakers!
I just hate it when a friend gets food with alot of garlic and then forgets the bag in the car. Whole car then reaks of garlic.
that was for you, Matu!
non hands free talking cell phone drivers, and texters….
When they second guess you on something you know significantly more about than they do.
People who chew with their mouth open.
When people interrupt each other.
I find it annoying when someone keeps entering these contests and never wins.
I hate cyclists that demand that everyone share the road, but then ignore the laws themselves. “Same road, same rights?” Then how about “same road, same rules.” Eat tire-iron Quicksilver.
Humans… the end.
I think it’s annoying when people suck their teeth
Judging people before getting to know them. Also, people who are inconsiderate to wait staff.
The MOST annoying thing is idiots that run the red light right in front of you.
stupidity
I can’t stand it when people’s iPods aren’t organized. 3 listings for the same artist because it’s spelled differently each time?!?! AAHHHHH!!!!!!!
Ignorance. Plain and simple.
people who feel entitled, more important than others because of their money, fame, job, …
Intolerance
The thing I find most annoying in people?
INTOLERANCE!
Personal space – when a person stands uncomfortable close and talks to you – man, that makes my skin crawl
Letting their kids run wild in public places annoying other people and not doing
anything about it or getting mad if you ask them to control their kids.
Know it alls
when my neighbor decides to redo his whole front yard at 7 in the morning and uses FREAKIN gravel machine really! yeah so I need these speakers A Lil payback With Rob Zombie as my weapon haha.
Not paying attention, just sitting there in their car when the light turns green.
I hate it when people (like my neighbor and there ghetto friends) smoke cigarettes and throw the butts on my lawn. Seriously
People who talk loudly on cell phones while sitting down at a restaurant
Bad drivers bother me more than just about anything else in this whole, effed-up world. It pisses me off every time I see someone driving even a little recklessly because, what, maybe they think they are just so cool they can’t be bothered to just follow a few traffic laws? I don’t know what their problem is, but let me tell you, my life is worth more to me than them showing off for a girl so they can get laid tonight or whatever the motivation is.
They spit and throw small stuff like gum wrappers on the street. The leftovers of the cigarettes too.
Smokers who toss the cigarette butts on the ground, in flower pots, in flower beds, etc. Find an ashtray, kids.
Pontification. Drives me crazy!!
I hate Hypocrites.
When their kids play on your lawn or with your kids playground/toys without asking
unpunctually
Misinformed people with opinions. So many people, so little time.
People who overreact before thinking about what they’re reacting to.
Noisy neighbors! lol
Disrespect.
Gaseous spewing in a public place… (Such as gym class!)
People and cell phones. Pretty much everything they do annoys me. Whether it’s inappropriate places, like cars, nice restaurants, restrooms; or just bad social behavior, like suspending a conversation with the person standing next to you for 10 minutes while you talk on the phone! Cell phones are destroying our sense of what’s socially appropriate.
People that doesn’t close the door after they leave
Chewing with their mouth open.
Inconsiderate people. My neighbors when they think they can use the street in front of my house as their own personal parking lot.
Neighbors who play their music loud at all times of the day… or rude people.
Drivers who end up parked in the intersection when the light changes, then look at you like you’re crazy when you try to break in line while our light is green.
These will really bring out the mid-range in my Kenny G. albums.
Inpatient people. We got all the time we want.
People who don’t say thank you when you do something nice for them (hold open a door, pull out a chair, etc.)
Not being considerate of others.
People who talk to close
People who are completely oblivious to how their actions affect the people around them, such as smokers (especially those smoking in front of “no smoking” signs), Microsoft developers, and people who vote Republican.
Second rate bloggers who use beautiful women and awesome give-aways to drive traffice
so called news “journalists”
Constant Bickering
I def want this.
People that can’t or won’t speak clearly.
Bluetooth earpieces and ignoring the folks you are transacting with.
Nothing like having someone walk up to the front counter of my store and have complete disregard for an interaction other than holding out a credit card and snatching it, and the bag of merchandise back when the transaction is complete without even acknowledging your existence by asking the person on the line to hold a moment while you at least greet the person who is taking care of you.
Lack of common courtesy is an epidemic, yo !
It’s annoying when people take up the left side of the escalator. Just like driving, the left is always used for passing.
Lack of though about others.
People who dont think about anyone else
Talking (or texting) on cell phones while driving.
bad driving
People who are inconsiderate of others around them need to die in balls of flame!
gossip
Smoking
i hate it when people talk over shows/movies/music/ or other people. GRRRR!!! Especially when they repeat something they just heard (and then you can’t hear the punch line).
…people who absolutely KNOW things that just aren’t true…
People who walk around on the street playing music from their cellphones using the speakerphone speakers. I am oh-so tempted to trip you every time we pass…
Talking on a cell phone in a restaurant. Really? Get your butt up and walk outside. Actually, talking on a cell phone anywhere in public.
Listening to BAD music with BAD cellphone speakers on a bus
Accusing me of something bad that I didn’t do.
Sartre said- Hell is other people. That makes hell right here, especially in a city. And one thing that’s especially irksome is when couples or groups congregate at corners, or in front of a doorway. Having to say ‘excuse me’ is a bore.
People that, without actually knowing the facts, assume they do and spread incorrect “facts” around.
Smoking!
Those who do not shower. (Must be PC users)
A driver abruptly pulling out in front of me when there are no cars behind me.
People who cut in line.
People who spit when they talk.
People who are not aware of their surrounding. At the store, driving, etc. There are people waiting for you while you study the Pop Tart varieties with your cart blocking the aisle! Oh look, you’ve decide against a toaster pastry purchase afterall and slowly (and without purpose) waddle away to cause more stress in strangers. Arrrrggghhh!
People who think their needs and wants are more important that anything else in the world.
All of the above.
People who take their young screaming children along with them to the store and don’t bother to discipline them at all… so now it’s not only their problem but everyone else’s problem, too.
Acting like they are so much better than you are.
Inconsiderate people that don’t bother looking behind them when walking through a doorway. I guess they feel letting the door slam into the face of whoever is behind them is their right. God bless them.
When they are not listening to you but are pretending to be.
The thing I find most rude about people is in fact about a specific group of people. I’ve lived in my apartment for 3+ years and just recently received a noise complaint. The downstairs neighbor stated that I was playing obnoxious music at a loud volume from 6:30 – 10pm. Funny enough, I was home, playing chill music with my brand new AudioEngine A2 while catching up on some office work. To add to the humor, the same neighbors are now playing Rock Band turned up to 11. If only I had the A5s to show them what loud really was…
Pretentiousness annoys me to no end.
I find it REALLY annoying that none of my neighbors have bothered to learn ANYTHING about wireless networking before turning on their wireless. All are running on channel 6, all are using default SSID’s, all are totally open. I sure hope they don’t have important personal info on their computers. . .
When people come over to my place or workspace and start picking up and examining my stuff…like they’re at a touch and feel museum.
The music that they play!
people who stare at you while your trying to eat a meal. ?
Lack of basic good manners of all kind, but especially pushing and shoving people to get out of the way.
the most annoying thing i find about other people is my roommate peeing on the toilet seat
People who don’t use their blinkers
Inconsiderate people.
I amazed at how rude people are in theaters! Watching a movie is not the time to make a phone call.
people who leave their cars idling when waiting for people in a store, etc.
The tyranny of a constricted mind.
People who smack their gum.
I hate it when someone doesn’t keep their promises. ESPECIALLY the small promises.
If you can’t do it, then don’t say you can.
People that ask your opinion (or for information) and then decide to call someone else anyway to get better information, like they don’t trust you. They also waste your time by asking an opinion that they have no intention of even listening to.
i hate when people misquote movies i love.
I hate people that hate the things I like.
Annoying? After stupidity and idiocy? People that don’t update their technology, no matter what it is, and wonder why things go wrong. They’re called updates for a reason, and people create them for free. Why wouldn’t you update things? Ugh.
loud chewers
When they are negative about everything.
The general lack of respect and civility these days
i hate when people talk during the superbowl!
When people respond, “um, ok,” acknowledging what you said while simultaneously disregarding what you said as stupid or untrue.
When people do not respond to things you say and nevertheless pretend to do, so they can tell their stories.
Confusing then and than
The fact they don’t submit to my every whim. I really don’t know what their problem is.
Chewing with their mouths open
people judging without…listening!
People who pass judgment on other people/places/things without any first hand knowledge for themselves.
Everyone’s in a hurry. Slow down and don’t try to push me/others down the road.
People who are obsessed with facebook
People calling the iPod Touch the iTouch
I don’t have the time to list everything, but the biggest….people who live in their own little bubble’s and forget their are others outside of it. If anything…it’s just getting worse…
Inconsideration and selfishness
When people tell you the same stories about their cats more than once.
Eating with mouth open!
Dog poo in my yard and I don’t own a dog
People who are mean or abusive to animals.
Their kids.
not letting other people talk
Someone answering their cell while you are in the middle of a conversation with them.
Not following through on promises, that’s the one most annoying thing I find about people. If you can’t do it, just say no, don’t say yes then bail!
People who complain about all the bad things other people do.
Well, the neighbors to the left are uber friendly, but the ones to the right are uber nebby, she seems to constantly have her nose in our business. I see her watching me from her upstairs window when I return home late at night.
i hate the cars, the cars that go boom!
littering
TyPiNg LiKe ThIs!1!11!
Lack of personal space combined with bad breath.
women who cuss yuck
That they don’t realize just how awesome I am.
People who talk on their cellphones while driving.
I hate when my neighbors let their dog poop in our yard and don’t pick it up!!
The most annoying thing about other people is that too many of them think that the “rules” don’t apply to them.
Healthy people that take the elevator DOWN one floor, especially when the stairs are right next to the elevator.
I have a bunch of things that rive me crazy but my new one is when I am taking a shower at the gym and the dude in the next shower over is blowing snot rockets onto the floor. Makes me sick to my stomach every time.
non-listening/dismissive
I can’t stand when people living above you are running all over the place and it sounds like a herd of elephants…at 2AM!
everyone is different and everyone has different priority at all.
Acting as though the World revolves them and being oblivious to the other 6 billion people on Earth. Most instances of lack of common courtesy is a result of this one problem.
Living in LA, I’ll say name dropping.
People’s egos
Driving badly while (talking on cell phone | texting | distracted, in general).
I just hate the overall stupidity of the average person.
And…
I hate when people argue for or against something but have no evidence to back up their claims.
Specifically in the Mac v PC Arguments….
people being/acting stupid
People who have never watched an original episode of Get Smart
Folks who try to drive and talk on their cell phone at the same time. It’s just not safe.
people that cant drive
I hate when people chew with their mouths open.
Chewing with your mouth open at a restaurant.
People who enter contests…
Tops on my list of things I find annoying about some people is those who try to make other people look bad so they look better. Or atleast they think that. I mean, come on, if you are good at something let your own actions speak. If you focus all that time you use to make someone look bad on learning or practicing what you do, you would probably get pretty darn good at it. I see this happen day in and day out in the music biz. So pathetic!
People that have seen/done everything, and have an opinion on everything
slow drivers
uneducated, ignorant, illogical, emotional, brainwashed, simple minded people, who lack the ability to handle multivariable equations, ensuring their ability to make stupid statements.
well, hope get these kicking Audioengin 5N Bamboo speakers, so i can add to my collection of made in china goods i keep.
People that speed up in the fast lane only enough NOT to let you pass them on the right….then slow back down.
People that smoke while standing next to/under the “no smoking within 50 feet” sign.
Cynics. And people who just don’t listen.
They still don’t get me.
Telling me how much better THEIR phone is compared to the iPhone.
ignorance… can’t tolerate that sorry…
NAGGERS
People who lives outside the Matrix…
old people who drive 20 mph on I-95
It’s EASILY people chewing with their mouth open. So gross. I hate the sound, the lazy look that people have when they don’t close their mouth, and the food that flies out when they chew. It’s revolting.
AND btw… audioengine speakers are AWESOME. I hope I win… Maybe if I was darker skinned I would have a higher chance of being randomly selected… Sorta like at the airport.
People who speak before thinking. The world has enough diarrhea without the verbal form……
I hate envious people.
A complete lack of common sense.
People who don’t use keyboard shortcuts and it takes them forever to do anything clicking with a mouse
(I really really want this!)
People who google to get to their frequently used websites. Grrr.
People who mock something they haven’t tried.
Bad Drivers
I hate when people walk by you, fart, and then walk away leaving you confused, and grossed out. Plus, anyone who walks by afterword automatically thinks it was you. It’s a never ending cycle.
