The miss-use of I and me.
If you would say I did it you would say my freind and I did it.
If you would say it belongs to me, you would say it belongs to my friend and me.
My favorite variation of this is when someone says my spouse and I's relationship, dude, it is my spouse and my relationship. There is no such word as I's.

Being treated like I'm stupid

People who have horrible taste in music (call me a music snob)

Minute Maid Ballpark

Stupid people

Having to repeat myself multiple times

People who don't like being treated like they're stupid (I like treating people as if they are stupid).

Music snobs.

People who don't appreciate trains, buzzing noises, 315 ft. LF walls, and a hill in center field.

Smart people.

People who won't repeat themselves.

You're right. This is clearly a flaw of mine, as opposed to others. I need to be more tolerant of the great establishment that is Minute Maid Ballpark.

I apologize.

I 2nd each of these. Especially the Juice Box and repeating myself (which I do constantly now that my oldest is 4 years old and thinks she runs the roost).

People who make lots of noise when they eat. It makes my ears bleed.

People who enter a room, turn a light on, then leave without turning the light off

OR

people who fail to acknowledge your presence and turn the light off in the room you're occupying
