I am peeved. I thought this only happened to other people on forums, like an urban myth...
I'm helping out a mate who's putting together a simple website for a local child-care facility.
BUT, the husband of said facility's owner 'dabbles' as a designer, and has created a logo. He's also suggested the typeface to use on the site, because you know, it's for kids.
Drumroll...

People with wheelie-bags in high-traffic pedestrian areas. Those things are the practical equivalent of a semi-trailer in traffic. The wheelie-bag dragger almost never appreciates this and darts left and right through the crowd, cutting people off, or scrapping their bag across your shins/feet.
this is made even better when they're texting while walking, so that now people in front and behind can make way for Mr./Mrs Important. as they plow through the crowd.

new iphone/blackberry users who still have their chimes and key sounds on (usually at full volume).
"say, did you just get a BBM? did you just press some of the keys on your onscreen keyboard? did you just confirm send on an email or text?"
blip blip!, tappa tappa tappa! bing-bong!
on a subway or bus this can get intense. like dolby surround sound blips and taps

Subway:
1) During rush hour, people who shove their arm above you to hold the pole.
2) Standing people who cant put their full backpacks down and it keeps bumping you.
3) When you are sitting in the corner chair and the person standing next to you is leaning over you.

When getting change back from a cashier, they dick it all up and put the receipt first, then the bills, then the coins on top like an ice cream sundae of shit. I need two hands to get change from you? Come on, dipshit! You're better than that!

- How would you prefer them give it to you. Hand you the receipt, hand you the bills, then hand you coins while you keep sticking yourCanHasQBN

The unnamed account individual who, regular as clockwork, asks not for design but simply something 'thrown at the page' due to time and budget constraints... Twat.

Advertising people who use the word "concept" as a verb. IE- I concepted these this afternoon. Just for the record, you conceptualized them.
Also, the word concept is really pushing it when you're designing ads for toothpaste.- it's conceived actually, right?monospaced
