Uncomfortable seats. Especially when you have to sit in them for about 11 hours.

Countinuiously losing your propelling pencils. I have lost more than five during this year and they're not too cheap either. I haven't got the slightest clue to where I might have lost the most recent pencil, obviously I lost it today. But where, and why?

And also being so used to propelling pencils that I can't use a basic pencil withought getting annoyed.

No, she's a white cat– but I (seriously) think she has Siamese ancestry.

The USPS, for not delivering a package on time, then failure to notify that it had actually arrived, then losing it once she found out. Duly assigned.

The climatic change. January was 4 degrees (celsius) warmer than average this year, and there has been practically no snow at all. And I have been thinking that the last few winters were somewhat warm! I want the proper winter back.

Another thing that Mordor needs is my friend's dog of which I promised to take care while my friend is on a trip. Even though she barks and whines all the time, plays with annoying squeaking toys, wants to go out in the middle of the night and constantly teases my own dog, I guess I'd manage with it.
But - it seemingly didn't matter to my friend that she has inflammation of the eye at the moment, and it's so very very nice to notice she has infected my dog now. That means I must take my dog to the vet's tomorrow (which isn't cheap either), and therefore I won't probably have time to see a friend I haven't seen in ages.
Needless to say, I'm pretty, ah, annoyed. I guess I should be angry with the friend rather than the dog, who is sleeping on my bed and looking cute, though.

1420!

Fans of any Disney Star (Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothers, etc.)

The Disney Stars themselves

Bad pro wrestlers (Like CM Punk: Undertaker, Rey Mysterio, and Edge are safe.)

Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga fans

My sister (love ya, K!)

My aunt's church (There's religion, then there's overkill. You don't need to go 3 times a week!)

All Math teachers. Geometry sucks.

My freshman year science teacher. (If I knew what to do next, I wouldn't ask for help. Standing there saying "OK, you've done this and this, what do you do next" isn't going to help!)

I like vegtables... don't send them to Mordor. Send Feta cheese instead...

People who trade in their brains when they get a sat nav. Who won't listen to simple directions and say they will use the sat nav even when they previously got very lost and nearly missed a funeral following the sat nav when three simple directions would have got them there....especially when they always want you to find the postcodes for them.. and especially when they posess a Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award and have done a four day expedition in remote terrain and there fore should reasonably be expected to read a streetmap...not that you need one for this particular journey. Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh hhhh

I know exactly what you mean! People follow their sat nas (or GPSs, as we call them here) like robots. Plus, those GPSs are often outdated, or they don't show things to the detail that you need. And if the GPS gets the route right, it's probably a route by the slowest and least convenient streets - when you can go just a block farther but get there much faster as a result. And the most annoying thing about the latest inventions is that they speak! Every two seconds in that annoying voice: "right turn in: 200m", "right turn in: 100m", "right turn in: 50m"....just shut it already! We get the point!

I think that if you need something to tell you which way to turn in X meters, you really shouldn't be at the wheel.

I swear I am tempted to get the post code of somewhere up a narrow lane... what is so hard about take the second turn on the right after the roundabout? Is that so difficult? Fair enough I can see it might be useful in some circumstances but this person comes down here regularly and everytime she whines for post codes for places that don't have them because they are in a forest or a fort on a spit in the sea and they are all well signposted. Gah..

Sting

I assign people who buy costumes for Halloween, rather than making their own. And people with cutsy costumes; it takes all the fun out of Halloween! and cheaping out on candy, that too. It's not a fun-size candy bar unless it's big enough to conceal a razor blade!

Yeah, I've begun working on my costume, in case you haven't noticed... (The Witch-King of Angmar)

people of mordor

Those people that saw Star Trek (2009) for Chris Pine, LOTR for Orlando Bloom, or any other amazing movie simply because they wanted to swoon over an actor. Especially if they take up space at a midnight showing. If you're going to do that, rent the movie later and stop wasting our time.
Also, people that post infactual information in public places, people with terriable grammar that don't bother to check it. This is both online and in speaking.
I have to agree with Galadriel55. I love exams.

How do you feel about those who don't check their spelling?

I assign doctors who change you a certain amount for a test, and then charge you just as much to put their signature on a form.

Ring

People who are major homophobes, racists, and sexists, as shown in the things they say, and then claim that they AREN'T racist, sexist or homophobic.
*cough*my dad*cough*

Seriously? "All Puerto Ricians need to go back to Puerto Rico" is pretty racist sounding to me, but he STILL claims not to be. Jerk.

Still, don't get me wrong. I love my father, but he can be infuriating.

I assign whichever designer decided that shirts with patterns or sequins may only have the patterns or sequins on the front of the top. That abrupt stop at the shoulders and sides looks shoddy off, and even worse on.

Sometimes, there just aren't enough sequins.

White Tree Hmmm...

What shall i assign to Mordor...
Hmmm lets see...

My evil 8 year old sister,
My mother's stupid dog who sleeps on my bed,
All those idiots who don't read Lord of the Rings,
All those idiots who don't watch Lord of the Rings,

Hmmm...
There had better be a lot of space in Mordor...
