People who use Incredimail on business email.
People who reply to emails without attaching the original copy leaving me having to go through my files trying to remember why I contacted them in the first place.
Left lane squatters! (What few tailgaters approach me are promptly allowed to pass on the left.)
Overseas phone solicitors beyond the reach of the do-not-call list rules... do we HAVE to wait till dawn?
One of my guilty pleasures in life is accepting the calls - of course it's evening meal time - patiently let them sing their whole song, and then politely stating that, "No thank you, I'm not interested."
As has been noted in this thread, one "no" is never enough. Personally, I think one "no" is enough.
"... I'm not interested."
"You mean, you don't want to save money?"
"Listen, what kind of..." I start, while launching into the most blistering, hateful, venomous & repugnant invective I can summon from deep within, taking cues from the caller's sex, accent, perceived age, "...doesn't understand the word 'no?'"
It's dismaying the number of times I've been told, "Sir, we're adding your phone number to our do-not-call list."
So, who would I shoot? Those that operate telephone solicitation companies...
"Speaking!"
"My name is Wayne, I'm calling from Noo Yok. How are you today sir?"
BANG! BANG! Rat a tat tat! Da-da-da-da-da!
"Aaaaaarrrrrgghhhhh!"
No need.
Also, the person, or people, who shout out we need to improve customer satisfaction (which I agree with) yet puts out policies that, if followed, will anger as many customers as possible.
People who fly though traffic, never using a blinker, but cut off as many people as possible, and the (insert 4-7 letter word) who decides that he doesn't need to stop for red lights or stop signs.
People who should be shot. at dawn!
People who go around shooting guns at sunrise! Really, now, wouldn't these folks be just as dead if you waited until waking hours to shoot them? ;)
<edit> Just read this thread [webmasterworld.com] and have to wonder if South Korean lawmakers, or possibly robots, should have their own turn against the wall too? Just kidding about the lawmakers of course, but if robots start getting legal rights, then I would definitely suggest a few rounds of ammo for them! ;) </edit>

sorry edit_g
Realizing I've just made a devastating retort to someone who doesn't realize it themselves!
People who promote miscegenation in order to destroy cultures and profit from social and moral breakdown of those people's misfortunes.
Old people who can't read font-size: 72pt; from two feet away yet refuse to give up their drivers license!
Anyone who would disagree that failing something as simple as a driver's ed test should be punished with castration!

I break for tailgaters - it's their insurance ;)

Stepdaughter failed it twice, what shall we do then, oh one with the Great Knife? :-)
Okay this one's gong to offend many of you. I apologize in advance. But it's true.
People who TALK on the CELLPHONE while DRIVING!
It doesn't matter how important you are (or think you are,) what a time saver it is, how well you have things under control - what matters is you are holding all of our lives as subordinate to the importance of your phone chat. We have laws against littering, jaywalking, noise after 10 PM, smoking, this should be addressed with severity.
Shoot 'em a lot. Or at least a full magazine of paintball rounds. :-)

This became an offence in the UK a couple of ears ago but people are ignoring it. We are currently looking at increasing the penalties.

Did it not just go up to a £60 fine & three points?
They don't read news anymore. They blabber. You could take out 90% of their words and not lose any meaning. Shoot them, then close all News 24 channels.
Print the news on screen and I'll read it myself without interjecting any "you know", "by the way", "obviously" type sentence fillers. It'll save everyone a lot of time.
I was in the local library this week, it was completely empty apart from the 6 librarians. They have 4 PCs with an internet connection so I thought I'd look up a couple of things. After half an hour I was asked if I knew the rules about PC use in the library - apparently it's restricted to 30 minutes maximum per session - and was asked to stop......the library was empty but rules are rules.
Have you tried getting angry in a whisper?
People who think reading the Economist looks cool. ;)
But my home-made yield sign reading "Armed Psycho on board" passes, yes?
I drive carefully all the time
Not everyone does.
They call and say something like "Hi, this is IT, I need to get the numbers off the copier over there."
Sometimes they claim to be the "copier people".
I sometimes play along and tell them the number is g0t0h...
(That is as far as I have ever gotten before the click.)
People who make a right turn from the left land and people who make a left turn from the right lane.
Also, people who decide to exit off the highway from the left lane (when the off ramp is to the right).
The guy who was just standing in front of me yelling at Blockbuster because they wouldn't rent out a movie to him that hasn't been released yet.
The lady in front of me at the grocerey store who demanded that they sell her a 36 ounce bottle of ketchup for the price of the 8 ounce bottle.
People with "My child was an honor student at..." bumper stickers (especially multimple ones from the same school).
My bumper sticker:
"My Belgian Malinois is smarter than your honor student". The sad part is that it's usually true.
ii)
People who park where they aren't permitted to park just because there are no other nearby parking spaces. Drive further and find somewhere legal... unless you want to be shot. at dawn!
ii)
Taxi drivers who don't drive 100% correctly, e.g. speeding, frequent lane changes, stopping in inappropriate places, etc.
iv)
People who assume that you don't care about the letter of the law. e.g. small/market/door-to-door traders who "don't do" sales receipts (despite them being a legal requirement), people who don't indicate just because they can't see anyone behind them, club bouncers who verbally or physically abuse the public without prior permission from and presence of the police, etc. etc.
v)
Traffic wardens who issue tickets to non-residents parking in residents only parking areas - even if there are plenty of empty spaces around for residents. If the car is still there when the residents come back from work, that's an entirely different matter.
draggar - two queries:
