I haven't read the entire thread yet, but this one caught my eye. I try not to say "nice" because I know what it really means. It's not an insult, unless you're using the meaning of "fastidious," but it's just too vague - too many nuances to the definition.
Anyway, my peeves:
1. People who pull into handicapped parking places, hop out of their car and run into the store. Maybe they're mentally challenged?
2. People who dash ahead of you to open a door, and when you think they're going to hold it open for you, let it close in your face.
3. Incompetent governmental bureaucrats who know they have you in their power and do everything they can to ensure you do not get what you are entitled to.
4. Discrimination in whatever form for whatever cause. People are people, whatever their color, race, religion, ethnicity, orientation, disability, sex, or any other factor.
I'm going to highjack for a little indulgence to remark on people in general:
I have found that there are a great many kind and thoughtful people in the world. People who go out of their way to open a door for someone else, people who help you pick up the change you dropped and give you back every penny, people who tell the clerk they got too much change back - people like that revive my opinion of the human race.
pip, haven't lost hope yet
