Anyone else feel the same?!?!?

1. saying "I could care less about xxxxx," when the correct phrase is, "I couldn't care less about xxxx."
2. self diagnosing medical problems and expecting others to pity you or excuse you from something, like "I had a touch of the flu." Well, the flu is a killer and getting a touch of it is like getting a touch of cancer - not possible. Or, more broadly, my complaint is anyone using technical jargon they are not qualified to discuss - around here you hear "on short finals" a lot made by non-pilots, or college kids repeating what they read in their textbooks today or hear their professor say. Describe the situation plainly and don't use terms you aren't educated enough to use!
3. People cruising in the left lane, not moving to the right lane and not making it easy to pass.

Quoting Cairo (Reply 8): the flu is a killer and getting a touch of it is like getting a touch of cancer - not possible.
Lots of influenza strains out there. Some mild some severe. A touch of the flu would refer to a mild case. And it is possible to have a touch of cancer as cancer varies in severity you can be riddled with tumors or have one small contained tumor. Cancer is a very generic term.

As someone who works in the fast food industry, one of my pet peeves is when people in the drive through line either
A) Don't have any idea what they want to order when they get to the speaker so they have to stare at the menu for 5 minutes while the line behind them is getting longer
B) Fiddle around with their change in their car while they are at the pay window, delaying other people
C) Don't say "thank you", or treat me like a dog
D) Other random things

2. People who don't use proper spelling and grammar.
3. Slow drivers who refuse to get off the fast lane.
Just a clarification on point 2 above, I mean this as a criticism on people who are too lazy to type properly and/or check their spelling and grammar (thankfully no one on here as far as I can tell), rather than those who struggle with communicating in English. English is a second language for me as well, being originally from Hong Kong, and I understand the difficulties in learning a language where the grammatical rules are completely different from that of your native language, not to mention the exceptions to virtually every rule. At least these people try to make their post comprehensible.

- Motorists behind the wheel who are busy with a myriad of things except for the matter at hand ... driving the car.
- People in supermarkets who vacantly watch while their groceries are being checked by the cashier and when the cashier is finished then decide to search in their often voluminous purse/handbag for their money/bankcard/storecard.

Drivers cruising up the empty inside lane when it's obvious that everyone else has moved into the outside lane because there's a hold-up ahead that was signposted a mile ago. No, you're not special and everyone else has not moved aside to let you past.
Drivers who stop 10 meters short of the car in front at a red light and spend the next minute creeping forwards. You want to get a running start when the light changes? Well, you still can't go any faster than the car in front.
People who don't know each other walking slowly side by side, taking up the entire width of the pavement (sidewalk) so no-one can get past in either direction.

Folks, if you see a running doctor, NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER try to stop him. That's like cutting off an ambulance.
