4WD anyone?
Or how about the time I tried to explain to my ex-missus the concept of 4WD, and that not all cars are 4-wheel-drive.
Apparently she didn't get the concept of 4WD versus 2WD.
Her rebutle was "Honey, 2WD applies to motorbikes, 4WD applies to cars. It's that simple. I don't know who those marketing people are trying to fool!"
I tried to demonstrate the logic by borrowing a mate's remote controlled car and showing her how the rear drive wheels work at propelling the car forward and back.
"Yes, that's just a toy. It runs on batteries. They have to make the wheels spin like that. Cars run on petrol hence they go by themselves."
It was a short relationship.

Hi, how are you
when shopping, or performing any activity involving a brief encounter with another random human.
I know that's just a polite way of showing "respect" to you, but 7/10 times I'll answer with "I'm not that well" or "I'm suicidal", and yet I still get the same "that's good" reply!
WTF?
Also, when news readers start off with "Good evening", and then proceed to tell you exactly why it isn't...

Facebook...if you go too far.
See, as long as you don't take facebook too seriously, then it's a good time waster for a few minutes. Also like someone mentioned, it's a great way to catch up with distant (physically) relatives for free.
However, once you start to go on facebook daily, develop the Pokemon "Gotta catch 'em all" attitude to collecting "friends", keep telling everyone what you had for breakfast, lunch and tea, or you think you're such a cunting celebrity that all you have to do is post an emoticon as your status update and have the same bunch of people swarm to ask why you're happy today, then you're well and truly a facebook whore.

C*nts on Harley motorcycles
I know, I know.
You're all a bunch of long haired, gimp-leather wearing, "look at me, I'm hard cos I'm packing and refuse to shave" twats.
However, every time I see one of you in my rear view mirror, I always slow down so you can pass, while mentally locking on to your f*cking illegally noisy arse of a motorbike with my "pretend" rocket launcher, and shooting a guided missile straight up your arse.
Believe me, if owning said rocket launcher was as legal as that noise-polluting heap of American shite you call a bike, you'd all be riding around on scooters, you inconsiderate pricks...
