iPods More Annoying Than Drool

On a crowded rush hour train, folks are easily annoyed by even the slightest of offenses -- a sneeze, a yawn, an accidental butt graze. In England, however, it seems the most irritating behavior to commuters is iPods at high volume.

According to a survey of British travelers, cranking up the volume on a music player is more annoying than people who spread out large newspapers, as well as those who fall asleep and drool on others.

While we agree that being stuck next to someone blasting Avril Lavigne may not be the best of treats, we'd certainly prefer that to spittle. Well, most days, anyway.

    I disagree. I say the most annoying invention ever is the automated voice mail and answering system that every company in America is now using. Human beings no longer exsist. I can't tell you how long it has been since I've spoken to a human at my phone company or a dozen other places of business. I find it especially degrading to be answering questions a computer spits at me at FedEx or the UPS company. How did this ever become acceptable?
