9. Drivers not using their directional lights.
8. Drivers who sit and watch you approach and then pull out when you get close.
7. Dog owners who leave their dog's business where people walk.
6. When people who are waiting to get on the elevator don't move back to let people OFF.
5. When I can't pull up to the gas pump because the owner of the empty car in front of it is in the
store buying lottery tickets...extra aggravation points if they are doing the scratch offs at
the counter.
4. Oh, and how about those neanderthols who throw their crap out of their car/truck window

Elf,
I am an omissions person-but I am sufficiently warned now that this is something to work on in our communications-good to know! Love and agree so much with the lists. I got into College writing an essay after waking up for the first time to watch the sunrise at 17. I decided the enormity of the whole thing happening-sunrising-and all those sleeping assuming it just will reflected things being taken for granted.
The essay got me into a 5 year school for a BS to MA in five years-of course I blew that deal and went with the BS in 4-you know the not needing a piece of paper to define me thing....Thanks for sharing this-it was WAY cool...

Something else:
Next time the whispering starts, run down the hall as fast as your little legs will go, burst in the room, and say, AHA!!! That will only give them something else to whisper about. Good. Or start talking to yourself in a whisper and then start yelling at the whispers in your head. More for them to whisper about. Feed them! children
One more and then I'll stop
Solution for #5. Start honking your horn. Unless it's Paige.
I crack myself up
