I hate when people smack their gum...I mean, if they're civilized enough to chew with their mouths closed (which I doubt...) why can't they do the same with gum? It shouldn't be an auditory experience, especially for those around you!
Oh, and I also hate when you're getting ready to swallow a pill and it starts to dissolve in your mouth before it goes down. I'm taking Mucinex to get over some ickiness, and ughh....darn thing started dissolving early.
Sandman hates people who like a smooth talker with bad plans over someone who stumbles over a word or two but has good intentons with what he/she is doing.
Sandman also hates when gum loses its' flavor. Come on this is the 21st century you'd thik they'd be able to figure out something.

I HATE when a customer calls me for help and while trying to answer their question, they interrupt me with "No no no, you obviously don't understand..." and then re-explain everything they've told me WORD FOR WORD, accentuating every other word like I'm going deaf.
THEN, I try to re-explain to THEM the exact same thing again and they end up with something along the lines of "This other person told me something else..." SO?! Didn't you just call ME for help?! Why didn't you believe this other person? Are they as stupid as you?! If so, how would you know?
Somtimes I'll get the flat-out "You're wrong." Oh, I am? I'm glad you told me, I had no idea I had been doing my job incorrectly for 3 YEARS *** HOLE. If I'm wrong, good luck figuring out the right way to do whatever it is you need help with. I just want to be there when you finally come full circle and realize I was right in the first place.
I'll be the guy with the baseball bat ready to smash your face in.
Perfect example- A guy calls into file a claim for a windshield replacement which, in the case of my company, the customer is responsible for their comprehensive deductible. When I tell the guy his deductible is a $1,000 (far more than a windshield costs obviously), he says "No, it's not." I'm silent for a moment and say "Sir, I'm looking at your policy coverage now and you have a $1,000 deductible" and get another "No, that's not true. I'm looking at my insurance card and it says $100." This could have been a mistake on the company's part (very slim chance) but, honestly, he probably changed the coverage yesterday and is now trying to get a windshield at the price of the previous deductible. At least I like to think that anyway, it verifies my disgust with this genius.
Blah, blah, blah this goes on for a good 10 minutes before I have to call his agent's office for them to verify for him the same coverage. After the agent verifies the EXACT SAME THING, he still just blatantly denies it and says that we're wrong. He keeps on with the "Well, my card says otherwise..." to literally every statement I make. YOU"RE CARD IS WRONG MORON!
At this point, I disconnect the call because he's asking for the main state office for them to verify coverage because I and the secretary at his agent's office are both ******** obviously. We both give him the same answer over and over and over and yet, he is STILL in disbelief.
If you call to ask me for help but won't accept the answer I give you for any # of damn reasons, why bother calling in the first place? Just draw your own conclusions and believe that in the end you will be right! I'm obviously a moron that only WORKS FOR THE COMPANY you're inquiring about so I must be wrong, right? And you've never been wrong about anything in your life and you've never had to ask anyone else for help before, you had to swallow your pride just to make the phone call in the first place. Then you realize halfway thru the call "Hey, I don't need any of this bull**** because I'm the smartest person alive! This guy is nowhere near as smart as me, I bet he's a full blown invalid... but before I hang up, I'd better make sure he knows it, put him in his place and ruin the rest of his day."
This rant was spawned from more than just the example I cited.
I hate my job.

I hate driving behind someone who is new to this country and new to driving in a city setting. You don't have to stomp your break peddle like its a rabid mouse and you don't have to slow down to .000002 mph to make that right hand turn. Trust me....your not going to tip over.
