Twat-headed drivers who think they own the road.

The city of Paris, paying council tax despite there being a dead rat on the road for 7 weeks, blunt pencils... ill think of more.

I used to have a problem with them, but an electric sharpener from eBay was the wolution. Whrrrrzzzzzzzzz
Cock-wad vermin who drive or walk to beautiful places then despoil it by leaving their crisp packets and bottles for wildlife and everyone else to stumble upon.
Vague hiking books with even vaguer directions, such as "at the crossroads, continue in the direction you're walking." Twonk.

I, too, tend break a conversation with a sudden useless fact that seems to me relevant but is utterly unrelated. I just get so excited about a fact, that I have to blurt it out. But not in a smart-arse manner. I'd not want to use my meagre general knowledge as a means to demean another person. I'm more aware of the gaping holes in my own knowledge to do that.
But Angie, you have my sympathy. I had this same problem with someone else. But I didn't really want to get into a public trivia gunslinger duel with them so I did what SootyJ mentioned and made up facts. It started simple and plausible then became more fantastical until the person twigged on. But they got the message and shut up. However I did do it in a diplomatic way, by making myself the eventual butt of the joke.

Yes. Makes you wonder why they would want to visit beautiful places if you're just going to soil them.

Two women on a business trip! Now I've heard everything! 
Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I made up a random 'fact' about Baked Alaska today and she actually got her BlackBerry out and wikipedia'd it to prove me wrong 
Chip, your 'two women on a business trip' made me lol for the first time in days.
Angie - you should've told her Wiki is a user-generated site, capable of editing by users, and they'd got it wrong.
SlagA.- you really can't stop with those randoms facts can you?

Why didn't you know that
And Just pretend you know exactly what she's talking about each time and don't make eye contact, easier not to be annoyed and she'll know you're not impressed, short of that drink too much wine and slap her one, you can blame it on the booze.
It's got myself and gav out of many a jam.
The Lost Thread. Every day I must fight not to look at it for fear of spoiling Lost. I'm fighting now.
I'm trying to install an old satellite tracking program (written for XP) on a Windows 7 machine and the stupid thing keeps crashing. Worse yet, it runs fine on my Mac under WINE.
A deer ate my garden. ;_;
