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.
