Know it alls....hum...that's how I feel about them passing the marijuana laws in Washington State and all around us here lately.As if we don't have enough problems in life...and the ones that really need the stuff for medical reasons generally get it. So guess how many young kids will probably try it out now..and they have been for some time with the computer industry around also. Wasn' teven three days into the New Year and one user has already killed an pedestrian walking across the street "stoned" from marijuana...they were going to arrested him for drunk driving and discovered it was marijuana he was stoned on instead. Innocent victim died. Whenever your not of your own mind set...you have crossed the line to potential problems that could really mess up your life...to me it ain't worth it. Maybe tonight it's all great...how about the next time though...how about the time you miscalculate distance, or seeing straight..whatever...how about that time when your tired and set your house on fire by mistake. Not worth it.

I don't like people driving vehicles while texting on mobile phones.It causes loss of concentration and some drivers have a bad accident.

I don't like people driving vehicles under the influence of recreational drugs.The police have caught thousands of people who failed a drug test.Drugs can cause health problems too.I met a very thin man in hospital and he told told me his lung cancer was caused by recreational drugs.

I've got quite a few pet hates. And depending on the mood I'm in determines which one annoys me more. 
Just two for now.

People driving using mobile phones, or just generally poor drivers. Scraped up many who have done this, and their victims.

People who abuse taxpayers money.   Our society of self entitlement.

I have nothing against cats, my little ginger furball is well trained. What I think you need Ron, is a water pistol strategically aimed and fired at (as Cartier Bresson said about his photographs) THE DECISIVE MOMENT. I think that might make them think twice about coming back WinkTongue out In other words get them were it hurts.....

As I get older, the only thing which really strikes me as true is the quote from Benjamin Franklin 'In this world, nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes'

Death we can do nothing about. Taxes certainly wind me up. As a pensioner, I am still taxed heavily. And they wonder why the economy is broken and the high street is full of closed shops? Tax people less, and people can buy stuff again.

Unfortunately, James, a prowling cat is regarded in law as a ferae naturae and as such its owner isn't responsible for its actions. You may therefore be acting illegally in randomly returning the cat's excrement, unless of course you wish to gift-wrap it. However, a dog's owner is responsible for the dog's actions and you would be within your rights to return a dog's excrement to its owner in the form it was delivered.
