What (or who) are you tired of?

heck, when I see Gary Busey on TV, it always kind of makes me sad when a guy who was once a great actor is reduced to being a crazy guy for money. A buck is a buck, but can you "appreciate" what he does now, knowing that it is caused by brain damage he suffered in a motorcycle wreck?
 
What follows isn't directed at you Guy

Ah the set up for the old Ivy League joke.

The prospective student replies:
What (or who) are you tired of, asshole?

There was a story once about Sparky Anderson and an umpire in a similar vein.
 
Here's one many of us can relate to (or several if you don't want them all lumped together):

* Statisticians at high school basketball games.
Many don't bother putting the first name of opposing players, making me search high and low for a roster;
many write in forking cursive, and/or write so light that it doesn't show up on a fax/PDF;
many I have to add the totals myself, because they're too lazy to complete it, which I guess is OK, since ...
I have seen VERY few this season where the totals actually added up;
sometimes, the score is just plain wrong (the quarters add up, the FG and FT add up, the points add up, but the forking score is wrong;
some idiots put the number of points scored in the FG boxes (i.e., 6 3 2 0 9 for a nine-point game, instead of 3 1 2 0 9);
some don't bother marking the quarters when players enter, rendering my "off the bench" and "bench points" lines useless.

I'm getting tired. Think I'll go home now.
 
People who say "Yeah, no" before answering a question or saying whatever they're going to say. Listening to a radio interview with the NY Mag writer who profiled Brady, and he's done it roughly 843 times so far.

What color is the sky?
Yeah, no, well, most times, the sky is blue, but it can be other colors, too.
 
Not so much tired of it, but my opinion of a person plummets when they say, "I could care less."
