Answer 7

1) Reality tv and the pathetic instant celebs it spawns

4) The Beckhams..if there is another completely annoying gobshite couple out there please point them out.

5)Mobile phones

6) People who wear their hands-free mobile phone earpieces (bluetooths??) when they aren't even driving. It's sooo irritating to see those silly numpties walking through Tesco with those damn things attached to their ears. They look like they should be working on the bridge of the original Starship Enterprise.

...getting more and more irritated as this list goes on...*lol*

7)The War of Terror/Patriot Act..both just an excuse to invade people's personal lives(Patriot Act), jail people without trials and of course unilaterally invade countries and destroy them all "for your own good".

8)Chavs..their sense of "style", their accents..need I go on?

9) People who hate on all Americans just because they don't like the US govt policy. Ever stopped to think that maybe, just maybe the American people themselves hate their govt policy? Why tar everybody with the same brush??

10)The breakdown of today's families/rampant divorce/parents who don't step up and take care of their children..all of these contribute to today's selfish, spoiled, apathetic teens/kids.
