For me, my newest annoyance is that of the bluetooth rednecks. Remember those folks that wore a cell phone like some sort of badge, even though it wasn’t all that big of deal anymore to have one?

Not only do they appear to be self-important asses who can’t possibly be out of instantaneous communication range for a fraction of a second; but they also come across as insane when they stand there talking really loudly to thin air.
And the Bluetooth revolution has just added to the rudeness we experience everyday, especially when they are chatting away to some unseen person while ignoring the one standing in front of them.
