GNN's Ryan Ballengee (@RyanBallengee on Twitter) opened up a Pandora’s Box with a simple challenge: “Name something that gets you irrationally annoyed.”
For Ryan it was “People who back into a parking spot.” His very honest and at least semi-legitimate gripe brought on an extensive backlash from all the back-parkers out there (many who made valid points that Ryan acknowledged and appreciated) but it was all the creative pet-peeved out there that made me laugh over and over. Here are a 20 of the best responses to Ryan’s challenge.
The only thing golf about this article is the occasional mention of the word “golf.” Nonetheless, I’m certain you all will find it rather entertaining. Please share this will all your friends, and all the people who do the things on this list that annoy you! (Then send us your pet peeves!)
