I hate phones
Who else hates phones? I hate phones. They don't know when to shut up.
Typical conversation with a phone:
Phone: HEY YOU HAVE A CALL PICK ME UP SOMEONE NEEDS TO TALK TO YOU
Me: Ok! I'm coming, damn.
Phone: YOU MUST COME IMMEDIATELY IT'S IMPORTANT LIKE SOMEONE IS ABOUT TO DIE COME QUICKLY PICK ME UP YOU ARE NEEDED
Me: Shut up stupid phone I'm watching a video.
Phone: NO ALL THINGS YOU ARE DOING ARE LESS IMPORTANT THAN THIS MESSAGE I HAVE FOR YOU
Me: Ok fine! I'll answer the damn phone.
Phone: Hello would you like to invest in real estate in China?

I hate mobile phone PROVIDERS... My phone never really did odd or whatever, up to a certain day, I got a little error pop-up which told me I could temporarily not use my phone. After that, I called the helpdesk and asked what the problem was. I gave them the information they asked for and they told me that there was just a temporary maintenance. Nearly one year later (today) I still don't have a working phone. Much has passed since, 6 to 8 (or even 9) calls to the helpdesk (and following their advice). Going to the shop twice. I even filled in a form on the internet, after which I got ANOTHER form sent to my home. I filled it in, and got a reaction on it via mail. I had to refill the form. Which I did. I got no reaction afterwards. I wrote a mail and gave them a copy of the form I filled in twice (and once via internet). I sent the letter with the copies to them one week ago, no reaction.
I'm just going to:
1) Murder them.
2) Murder them.
3) Get a new subscription (to a DIFFERENT provider).

My previous cell phone, when was on low batteries, instead of shutting the f*ck off it made a very loud beep every 5 minutes for ours. There was absolutely no option to turn it off and ( of course ) it always started at 4am
My current 'smart' phone sometimes connects to the internet ( which is very expensive ) without asking me or even notifying me, the only thing that makes me know it is a tiny icon that changes slightly. I managed to crew its connection settings so that it cannot connect any more but it still gives some troubles.
It's touch-screen, when someone is ringing appears a big button which switches of the ring and the vibration, of course even if the phone is locked this is still active and when I have it on my pocket it's immediately pressed so, if I can't hear the first ring I won't have any chance of getting that call

The same thing just happened to me recently. Bought my wife a new phone and she left it out in the living room somewhere... at around 3am I hear this loud bleep noise, staggered out of bed and spent the next 30 minutes looking for it... it beeps every 5 or 10 minutes so you have to sit and wait for it move a few feet in one direction, wait again... until you find the bastard.
Ring! Ring! Ring! with the telephone,
Ring! Ring! Ring! with the bell!
All that noise is maddening!
It can go to... HECK!
A phone is a demand intrusion. That's why I like the National Do Not Call Registry and as few people as possible having my number.

Is that a car, or a motorcycle?
Because motorcycles are intentionally loud, obnoxious, and dangerous. Hate hate hate.
Well I don't know about the USA but here people like to buy old cars and then make them really annoying with loud engines and things.
My favorite is those kazoo mufflers people put on little Japanese cars.
Buy a cheap car, drop and extend the axels, chrome the rims and trim, replace/extend the muffler with a kazoo, and after spending all that money your car is worth less than you started with. But at least everyone knows what gear you are in when you go by.

I hate it when people do something to their mufflers to make the car louder. Not trying to be racist, but it seems to be Mexicans that do that where I live...

The Telephone Preference Service (TPS) the UK equivalent.
