People who continuously vote for the same people because the are a R/D instead of the opposite and then complain why nothing changes. The fact people don't pay attention and do the #1 rule in investigation; FOLLOW THE MONEY!!! This is twice as true in politics. People who don't realize that the Tea Party and Rand & Ron Paul are actually on the Koch Brother's payroll. People who bitch about how little they are making/unemployed and how they can blame someone/something/(insert another excuse here) else when there are plenty of jobs out there, but they don't meet your "conditions" Insurance companies...all of them.

YES
"meet the new boss, same as the old boss"

Supervisors/Managers that somehow think they know it all because they've been put in a position of power. I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'.
My current boss somehow thinks that his completely unrelated experience to anything in our field (having never even set foot on any of the sites we work on, or understanding our equipment) somehow entitles him to an opinion about what goes on out in the field.

Mine is the exact opposite. I have a production supervisor that was a mechanic, cop , shrimper and a general shiny happy person that has zero experience in manfacturing assembled goods. He was moved to his spot because he got hurt as a mechanic. If you correct him on anything he blows up and storms off cussing.
He works hard but his attitude is about to get him canned.
Who the hell decided it would be a nice feature for the tail and reverse lights to come on and stay on for two minutes after you shut your damn truck off? Can't tell you how many times I've slowed to a crawl to avoid the blind reverse maneuver that I'm sure Billy Bob must be preparing to execute over the top of my Beetle before realizing that Billy Bob is actually in the bank, and has been for 5 minutes.
Doing a recall on an NV today (rear door links)
pays only .3, of course.
Last bolt breaks going in, spend an hour and half trying to drill it out and retap it.
Awesome!
lol. Still got 9.8 hrs today though, which pretty much meets my goal of 10 hours on weekdays and 15 on saturdays.
I hate Tim McGraw and everyone of his stupid songs over the last 20 years. All the way from the song about his dead wife to the one where he is "bumping lil wayne" in his dumb truck. Wasnt he whining about them putting rap in his country a few songs ago?
Source of rant- I get exactly 1 radio station in the shop. The local country station. When you are trying to manhandle a transmission you cant get to the radio to turn it off when that shmuck starts singing about how he crys for poor people and then drives away in his Suburban bawling
I can't stand pretty much any of the country played on the country station. It seems like it's just modern pop (which is horrendous) with more "traditional" values, emotions, and a southern accent.
That said, I love Johnny Cash (if you can call him "country, to me he is just Cash, a category of his own), and some older "country" songs.
It's like when Christian Rock exploded through creed and the others.
to quote Patton Oswalt: "they weren't making rock any better, they were just making Christianity worse"

We have several Suburbans at work with this fine feature, and we have improved upon it in a way only the government could. For safety all our vehicles have back up beepers which are wired into the backup lights so whenever you get out of the truck it beeps until the lights go out.
In reply to Wally:
That is spectacular!! 
Telephones have gotten progressively stupider over my life. I'm not talking about the tricorder E36 M3 all you guys have, just talking about the simple act of speaking to another human being, who is not in the same room.
When I was about 6, I could pick up the receiver, spin the handle,and ask Mr Rutherford or his wife to connect me to Gramma.
When I was about 16, I could pick up the receiver, dial 7 digits and talk to anyone with the same prefix (333) as me. If I wanted to talk to the next town, (334) I had to add 112. Next province over, I had to add 403 between.
When I was about 36, If I wanted to talk to someone in the next town over, suddenly I had to dial 1-306-334-****, even though I am still in the same area code.
Now that I'm approaching 56, if I want to speak to my next door neighbor, I have to find out her area code, Our population has increased to the point where 306 won't do it for the whole province. Easy- just add another area code. Its apparently too tough to change everybody in the north half to a new area code. Now we have 10 digit dialing. I could have two lines in my house, with two different area codes.
I think computer people are all retards.

Good country still exists. Look up Reckless Kelly, Justin Townes Earle, his daddy Steve Earle, Waylon's son Shooter...
In reply to logdog:
Since we are ranting about current vajajayry music, I have found some of Joe Diffie's songs to be entertaining but do we really need to dedicate a song to him, and if that song is just saying his name over and over should it be taking up radio waves? Not everything that sounded funny while you were high in the back of a tour bus needs to be shared.
Edit. The filter turns a spelling error into a funny.
It's already too berkeleying early for this E36 M3, but the damn dog. I made the mistake of not crating him for 30 min while I took Kiddo#1 to pre-K. I did this to avoid the bitching that ensues after leaving him in said crate for hours that "I" am away from home. Nevermind the fact, I am the only one that has put in ANY time in attempting to train his ass to do anything. Oh, did I mention it is the wife's dog?
What a way to ruin my last berkeleying psych nursing clinical day for the semester...... 
dear shiny happy person who rang our doorbell REPEATEDLY at 3:18am, berkeley you.
even if you were at the correct apartment, why would you ring the doorbell at 3:18am?
berkeleying idiot. Cannot wait to move
Dear shiny happy person: I'm sorry I left the hummus in the fridge for 5 weeks, forgot to check the date, then decided to eat it for lunch yesterday... you are going to have your work cut out for you today.

Mine is quite similar!
Dear neighbor through my bedroom wall: 4:30AM is NOT an acceptable time to start playing Halo at a volume that would deafen everything within a three mile radius.

An acceptable response is to leave Drowning Pool playing in a loop at top volume when you leave for work.
EDIT
Bad day, people cant get basic forms right, more time wasted on simple stuff
If I was a dog, I would eat gross stuff off the ground and act all indignant when my owner yelled at me as I was puking on the carpet.
I sit in an office. There is no radio in the office. Filter blocks youtube and pandora/etc. The walls are thin, and I'm on an "outside" wall (the shop floor is "outside"). Shop floor has a radio. Speaker is mounted on the far side of the wall 3 feet in front of me.
Today, I'm going to listen to the same 15 pop songs. Over. And over. And over. For 9 hours.
I'm not sure its a good thing that there aren't any commercials...

I have a $35 MP3 player from Sansa that I use for a very similar issue - highly recommended.

It makes me uncomfortable to think that you as a government employee would choose to discuss and rant about the issues that a citizen working with your office has.

I don't think it's unreasonable to rant about work. Private or public employee, everyone has frustrations.
besides , he didn't mention any names ...
hard to believe that the idiot he's having problems with will be able to recognize himself from the description ...
mainly because anyone that is that much of a douche would never recognize that he's the problem ...
so I don't have any problem with Apexcarver letting out his frustrations
