**Hats worn askew. Can someone please explain why people do this? Furthermore, do these people realize how absolutely ridiculous they look?

**Why the concept of plurals vs. possessives poses such a formidable challenge for people. What exactly do these people not understand about it? It honestly could not be simpler.

**Why some people just don't pay attention to the world around them. I have one friend who has known two friends common to us for a combined 28 years, yet cannot spell their names correctly. How in the world is that even possible? Do people honestly not pay attention?
 
-Laying out on the beach, by the pool, etc. for ungodly amounts of time while doing nothing. I can understand doing it for an hour or so, or longer if you're doing something else at the same time like reading a book or something, but when I hear about people who spend all day (or even multiple days) just laying around in the sun doing nothing it just sounds like one of the most boring things I can possibly imagine.

-Some people's fascination with extremely spicy foods. I mean, I "get" it in the sense that I realize it causes your body to generate endorphins to neutralize the pain, and I imagine it's something of an ego trip to be able to say you can withstand the sensation of ridiculously spicy substances searing your flesh, but it's still a phenomenon that just seems completely alien to me.

-Bad pet photos. Specifically, when there's an online collection of pet photos that people submitted (like on news websites), how practically all of the photos they publish are incredibly bad. Too close and blurry or too far away, poorly framed, pet not facing the camera, pet looks like crap, etc. This phenomenon doesn't seem to occur when the photos are of people or scenery, just pets (and the fact that pets tend to move around unpredictably doesn't explain it, since in many of these photos the pets are obviously laying there stationary, or even sleeping, but still the photo sucks).

-How on Ameirca's Funniest Home Videos, the finalists are never even close to being the best clips shown in that episode, and the winner usually sucks. I would honestly say that this has been the case for every episode I have ever watched of this show.
 
How about people that absolutely have to know that they screwed up in traffic, ie cut you off and yet they still give you the finger when you honk at them?
 
Bagels (Seriously? Why would anyone want this over a donut or a kolache.)

The Sports Reporters (These guys are just downright painful to listen to.)
 
How anyone would agree to either an adjustable rate or interest only mortgage.

People who don't read the news.

Hell, people who don't read.

How the hell Maury and Jerry Springer are still on TV.

sweet tea

the Catholic religion
 
How someone can get out of bed go to the same job for 20 years and still not have a clue why or what they are doing. Then think they are irreplaceable. I'm stumped.
 
People that get off on and actually believe in goofball conspiracy stuff (9-11, Kennedy's assasination, faked moon landings, etc, etc).

People that try to force religious BS (aka non-science) into science class.

The previously mentioned obsession with celebrity, not just with movie stars and stuff, but with English royalty also.

The madness over the iPhone.

And what's wrong with us Catholics?
 
Good one on English royalty. I remember my own mother obsessing over Di's wedding way back when.

I almost added reality TV myself until I remembered that I watch Survivor and some of the chef shows.

I love sweet tea.

Ok. I don't get organized religion, period.

But the Catholics really through me for a loop. Some of many reasons:
A. The Pope.
B. No birth control
C. celibacy
 
I'm neither Catholic nor particularly religious. That being said, I can think of far worse things that identify with a particular brand of religion than what you've listed.
For example, burqas and Islam.
 
"Bagels (Seriously? Why would anyone want this over a donut or a kolache.) "

Completely agree and would also add hot dogs. Why would anyone choose flavorless pig parts on a crap bun over a sausage wrap is beyond me.
 
I can't wrap my mind around the concept of winning a competitive marathon by averaging a 5 minute per mile pace over 26 miles.
