45. ASSes - not what you think...
I spend a lot of time in airports and as it's usually business travel, I'm often in a hurry - that's when I run into:
Amblers - People with all the time in the world walking painfully slow.
Stoppers - They stop(!!) immediately when they either enter the terminal, exit an elevator, get to the top of an escalator or the end of a moving sidewalk (yes I've mentioned this before)
Sidwinders - Can't get past them because they walk diagonally and change directions just when you think you've got them beat.

Not giving this a number because it's not a word, but I am absolutely fed up with overused punctuation. Multiple question marks for simple questions, exclamation marks after simple statements where no extra force is warranted etc. Take a look at this recent TA post: "So, If I am going August 5th..am I too late for any sales? ?? and what areas in particular to go to? I haven't been to Paris in 18 years!" Ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No? ??

BTW, are we going to have a game where you have to make up a sentence that uses as many overused words as possible? Would be fun!!!
