What drives you absolutely crazy?
 
For me, it's drivers who sit in the left lane without ever glancing at the rear-view mirror. I just can't take it, I go nuts.

I also drive 65 miles/day.



:crazy:

Cotton wool.... the feel/sound of it literally drives me insane :crazy:

BuddyHawks 02-13-2004 12:31 AM

My roommate who sets his alarm an hour before he gets up so he can hit the snooze about ten times.

aphex140 02-13-2004 12:54 AM

Meeting people who do not know you or anything about you and act all snotty - eg
Going in to an office of some low life with one job in life ( handing out ticket for the toilets) and they act like you are a piece of dirty and are snappy etc with you.

This get my back up and I have to make the decision ignore or start reflecting their behaviour.

I thought I was the only one who suffered from this. Even the thoughts of it make my teeth water :(

Ashtrays on tables where there is food wrecks my head

Well, my first answer was gonna be "People that ask me what drives me crazy" but that would have been rude so I'm gonna have to say...


People that ask me what drives me crazy.

Nisses 02-13-2004 05:30 AM

people who are in your car and upon whom you depend for directions, yet they can't seem to remember how to get there themselves...

ok, here a right, now a left... ooh, sorry, that should have been a right, guess we'll have to drive round and try again...

SabrinaFair 02-13-2004 05:46 AM

People who try to make conversation with me while I'm in the gym. I'm here to sweat and strain, not talk to you.

*mental note to self..."Don't hit on SabrinaFair while she's working out".*

Got it. :thumbsup:

Let's see now...what drives me absolutely crazy? Punk-assed teenagers with nothing better to do than drive up and down residential streets, shooting out car windows with pellet guns. :mad: Little buggers got my truck, and my wifes car last Monday night. And considering that we are in the single digits, temperature wise, it was a damn cold ride to work Tuesday morning, after I discovered the damage. Of course, I felt more sorry for my wife, and our 16 month old son, who also had a very chilly morning.:( I hope they had fun...'cause if I ever get ahold of 'em...well, let's just say it's best not put to these pages. ;)

lurkette 02-13-2004 06:23 AM

People who say "real-i-tur" instead of "realtor" and "nuculur" instead of "nuclear."

When I don't get any salt with my unsalted fries at the drive through and I don't notice till I've already driven away.

Cashiers with really really long fingernails that keep them from pressing the keys on the cash register so they have to go really slow and keep hitting the wrong button anyhow.

Showing up 10 minutes early for a doctors appointment and being called back to the exam room right away...and then waiting for 25 minutes with year-old magazines about cars or something lame before anybody notices you're there.

People who bring an infant to a movie and don't leave when the baby starts screaming.

I know what you mean... Though for me its the people who try to pass me every day, on the right. I mean, its 55, and Im doing 75, how much faster do you need?

1337haxor 02-13-2004 06:41 AM

When people ask me why I have guns and knives, saying they are useless and dangerous. That really gets me off.
Also when people touch my bed. Especially when people just hop on it likes it's a sofa or something!

sexymama 02-13-2004 06:44 AM

People who smack their food when chewing.

Tailgators and drivers who swerve all over the road because they are reading, reaching for something or on the cellphone.

People who don't change the toilet paper roll when it is used up.

Dishes on the counter rather than in the dishwasher.

That was so my roommate last semester. It really is annoying. She also had people calling her in the morning- also annoying.

rockogre 02-13-2004 07:24 AM

People that come in to work even though they are sick and act like that makes them a good employee.

Do good employees infect the rest of the workforce???

Prince 02-13-2004 07:32 AM

Well, I know this is kind of weird... But what really drives me crazy - and not in the good way - is when I am subjected to the presence of a bunch of giggling chicks. Honestly, nothing is more irritating to me than the pointless hee-giggle-hee of girls between ages 12 and 26. Hopefully, after that, they start to calm down a bit.

KellyC 02-13-2004 08:21 AM

People who lives in America for more than 5 years and still have bad english, or doesn't speak it at all.

Charlatan 02-13-2004 08:43 AM

Ignorance drives me crazy...

water_boy1999 02-13-2004 08:46 AM

Where should I start.......

Men who take a piss in a public place and walk out without washing their hands.

Friends who say they will call you later to go out but they (pick one excuse):
-phone was lost
-phone broken
-something came up suddenly

People who chew their fingernails

that should be a good start....

My GF and I both do that. I hate it to but I can't stop doing it. :crazy:

* Cold things.

Regziever 02-13-2004 09:27 AM

Every math problem that I can't solve... :crazy:
Ignorance.
Lazyasses.
Every time I make a mistake (I'm a perfectionist...)

Oh and:

Agreed... this is one of my peeves, though I try to find a common middle ground, since she's married to me. :)

Also rich people who come into my work and assume I should kiss their ass because they "have money". I would love to tell them they can go fuck themselves.

ladyadmin 02-13-2004 10:22 AM

It's a given that some things will annoy me. I don't let that sort of thing get to me because life is short and not worth worrying over trivial pettiness.

amonkie 02-13-2004 10:32 AM

People who cover their mouth or mumble while they are talking.

Doesn't matter if you are going 175, it's not your decision to say "you don't need to go faster". Sounds like you've never had to do anything like drive someone to the hospital in an emergency situation.

If you're not passing someone and someone comes up behind you, GET OUT OF THE LEFT LANE DAMMIT! Leave speed enforcement to the police. I wish people would grasp that extremely basic concept.

ace81385 02-13-2004 10:39 AM

Just about everything drives me crazy. Ill go with a top 5 list:

1. Stupid People who argue with me when they dont know wat their talking about and when you try to explain why their wrong their just to damn stupid to understand.

2. People who lie to my face even when I say your clearly lying and still continue with the lie
3.People who drive slow
4. People who complain about being over weight but wont do anything about it
5. ANd finally people who believe their better than everyone else!

skysooner 02-13-2004 10:47 AM

People who won't follow through on simple requests. Case in point, I coach a church league high school team. The coach of our other team is the youth director at church. One of the other team's jerseys got ripped apart in a game. I offered to buy a replacement jersey, but I needed to know the number on the jersey so we didn't duplicate numbers. He was supposed to e-mail me with the number the next day. The games are tomorrow and I have yet to hear from him.

Esoteric 02-13-2004 10:50 AM

A lot of different things do, but my main thing would have to be people who smack while chewing their food. I can't stand that shit.

Interesting...this made me think for a bit. I have on occasion lied to someone in their face, and even gotten upset with them for not believing my lie even after they caught me on it. Isn't the human mind fascinating?

I'm quite adept at the art of urinating without wetting my fingers. Given that I've bathed my person in total within the last 24 hours, how is the touching of my penis without washing any different than touching my arm?

When I'm the workplace, I'll wash my hands before urinating. My hands are dirty, but my penis is clean. :D

Yes! Exactly! You said this better than I could irseg.

Some of my pet peeves-

listening to people chew (ewwww) as they eat next to me
Obese girls in belly shirts
Turning on the Radio after three weeks and still hearing the same damn songs
Cops that know laws don't apply to them after dark
Anyone that tries to live up to a stereotype

Hopefully that's sarcasm, but if not....*SMACK!* (heh, just kidding):)

I'll go with my top 5:
1- bad spellers
2- backstabbers
3- people who think that they're better than everyone else, just because they have money, brand name clothes, or a nice car, etc...
4- having to repeat myself for people who don't know how to listen properly
5-

It drives me crazy when I'm on the phone, and people try to talk to me. I make it a point not to talk on the phone while dealing with the public, but if I'm in the break room on my pathetically short lunch and decide to make a phone call, LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE! I guess it's because I'm so easily distracted...

mew 02-13-2004 09:57 PM

Not in any particular order:
1. nails on chalkboard..its not just the noise, but what it represents..i feel like its gonna bend your nails backwards..Ouch..
2. Lasy people at work who slack off so you can pick up their crap
3. Snobby people
4. Rude people.

02-14-2004 12:33 AM

1. the sound of ripping tearing aluminum foil
2. hot chicks who wont have sex with you

PredeconInferno 02-14-2004 12:37 AM

Okay, I work in a Pizza place... customers can irritate me to no end...

For example:
Me - Is this cash or charge?
Customer - Yes
Me - Is this cash or charge?
Customer - Oh, it's charge.

- Or -

Me - Would you like anything else?
Customer - Um, no
*I open the register
Customer - Oh, and a drink

wow that really gets me going
