My annoyance: snoring bedmate. I adore the man: why must he torture me?

I dunno. I think it would have been as annoying in English (I fell asleep about 5 minutes into that film, so if this is a reference it's lost on me)

Those very clever signs posted all over midtown - in doorways, at the top of stairs and escalators and on subway platforms - which say "Wait Here", "Go Slow", "Please Block" - visible only to tourists.

Too true

The person ahead of me in line at the ATM who thinks it's a device for composing his autobiography. Then, gets interrupted by a cell phone call. Then, has to start all over. People like this should not have bank accounts.

Try being in line at the Metro Card machine behind a woman with purple talons so long she is unable to exert enough pressure to make the touch screen work. I of course end up doing it for her.

I always think they're transacting the next Louisiana Purchase.

On occassion I have asked the person in front of me in line using the ATM if he wouldn't mind executing a few trades for me before the market closes.

1. Buskers on the tube trains (a quite different breed from those on the stations). Invariably hurt my ears and smell.

2. Men that converse with a region somewhat below one's chin.

I have a problem with the speech makers. Those who wish to solicit contributions either for themselves, for the homeless in general, for their basketball team, or in return for toys and batteries - but rather than just say so, continue noisily to extol the virtues of the transaction until the train stops and they can get to the next carriage.

Drivers that are so tuned out when driving on a snow covered road that they can't be bothered trying to judge the lane and so drive directly down the middle.


Edit: at 50 mph in their Ford Colossus.

Edit: while talking on the phone.

Sometimes I am aware that I am not looking at the breasts of a women I am conversing with. Is this like 'looking at another mans wife is as bad as having them' (paraphrasing) and what is the correct balance between looking and not looking so as not to make one look obsessive? Thanx.
