All right, I've kept you waiting long enough -- I'm back with more venom.  Before I get to the people I hate, I'd like to once again express my disdain for the NYC Transit System.  A $10 MetroCard used to come with a $2 bonus, meaning you'd get a free ride...until some geniuses decided to lower that extra amount to a ridiculous number like $1.55.  I get that these are tough times and everyone's cutting back, but what the hell am I supposed to go with the leftover pennies that always remain on the card?  It's practically impossible to get back to zero, and it annoys the hell out of me when I see something like $0.45 on the meter after I swipe.  This has been reason #4,385 why I hate the MTA.

*People who dress too warmly:  I'm terrible at checking the weather in the morning, and there have been plenty of times when I've gone outside in my winter jacket, only to discover that it's 60 degrees outside.  But you know what I do when that happens?  I take off my jacket and carry it like a normal person.  I don't get these people who continue to walk around in gloves and wool hats when everyone else is wearing t-shirts.  And if they're not hot and sweating, then the sweatbeast in me hates them even more.

*People who dress up when they don't have to:  It's nice to put on a suit once in a while, I guess, but most of the time, I'm grimy as they get, mud on my pants and shirt, when I be putting in work.  Under no circumstances would I ever put on dress pants or a button-down when I don't have to, and I hate you if you feel differently.  I will not argue this.

*People who have their head turned when they're walking towards me:  Someone, usually a middle-aged woman, will be walking with her head turned to the side, looking at something or talking to someone behind her, and I have no way of getting around her on a busy street.  She'll then get all startled and apologize when she inevitably bumps into me.  This happens much more frequently than you'd think, and I can't stand it.

*People who take pick-up basketball games way too seriously:  Have you ever played ball with someone who starts yelling like a mad man at everyone and getting pissed off at his own teammates?  Okay, so you thought I was gonna cut when I went back out, or you think the other team has the score wrong, but is it really that big of a deal?  And yes, I'm probably saying this because I suck and don't need to hear it from anyone else, but the point remains...
