I really get annoyed when I see someone illegally parked in a disabled space. I'm not disabled myself, and I have never been injured to a point where I would need a disabled space, but it still pisses me off.

This is a typical sign of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. On that subject, I have been known to take a napkin and polish the greasy fingerprints off of napking holders at restaurants, especially pizza places. Something about fingerprints on a reflective surface not only annoys me, it makes me edgy and nervous.

People who switch off their car engine leaving wipers 1/2 way across the glass. Would it really harm just to leave it on that few seconds more to allow them to return to their natural rest position!?!

If I catch myself doing that, I will start the car back up to fix the problem. I hate that!

Let's see. I hate being wet. Not when I am in the shower, or swimming, or even in a rainstorm. But if I am doing the dishes, I do not want to get any part of me other than my hands wet. Or when someone has wet hands and touches me. I hate it!

What else... fingerprints. On anything. I hate them. They are dirty and gross. Therefore, I rarely touch anything that would leave a mark.

I hate stray hair strands. Especially in the shower. I will pick off all the hair strands one by one before I get out of the shower, and it can take a while sometimes.

I also hate it when the top sheet is not lined up with the blanket, though I am getting better about that. When I slept alone, it was easier to control. Now that I am sleeping with someone, it is harder.

All part of Nextel's global marketing plan: get people used to hearing that dumb "beep" noise so we all want to buy their phones.


Another thing that bugs me: people who continue to eat when something is on their lip/face. Show some freakin' class!!

I HATE that! I always stare down people who do that and obviously don't need the space. When I had a walking cast and a cane I didn't get a temproary disabled parking permit. Why would I? Theres somebody out there who needed it more than me I figured.

la petite moi 05-25-2004 11:42 AM

Averett, sometimes there are people that have disabilities that are unseen to the naked eye. It may be harder for someone with a bone disorder to walk or something...You never know.

If they don't have a little wheelchair sign though....GRRRRR.

water_boy1999 05-25-2004 12:12 PM

Lot's of you need prozac!

I get irritated when one of my co-workers grinds coffee while I am on the phone. They usually ask me first, but about 10% of the time they do it and it drives me nuts!

People who lie. They irritate me to no end.
Cell phones in the movie theater. If you do, pray you are not sitting next or near me. You will know my irritation if you do.

I am sure there are a few more, but these lists irritate me because I start to get mad at all the little things that irritate me......GRRRRR!!!

Polyphobic 05-25-2004 12:22 PM

I absolutely hate it when someone is reading something I am reading over my shoulder. With or without permission. Family member or not.

viejo gringo 05-25-2004 07:03 PM

Listening to the damn announcments in Home Depot and they are all in Spanish....I probably would not buy the damn thing anyway, but I live in the U.S. (by 5 miles) and I want to know what the hell they are saying...

nofnway 05-25-2004 09:55 PM

I'm a tall guy and I hate the signs and displays and Knick Knacks that hang down in the gas station, grocery store...bank...etc.
Probably hing by some midget too afraid climb to the second step on the ladder....so I have to have to have my eye put out.

I hate being told to "Watch where you are going.".

and most of all....What the hell is a "Quick question"?
If anyone wants to ask you a quick question...run! You don't have the time.

Although I'm bad for that sometimes, that last part still made me laugh.

Insecure people who have to exaggerate their accomplishments or situations in order to make themselves look good.

I don't want to hear it. I really don't.

Chiuey 05-26-2004 07:26 PM

(RANT) I am extremely easily irritated by NAGGING asian women. Namely my mother and my ex. Go figure, the one Asian chick I date turns out to be just like my mom...... :hmm:
I'm tempted to be sword off asian women for life. Thing were so much easier when I date Australian or English chicks......

cali 05-26-2004 11:11 PM

:mad: I can't stand mother's who allow their preteen daughters to dress like Britney Spears, these GIRLS(LITTLE) are walking around with 2 to 3 inches or MORE of their crack showing, going braless and wearing near see-thru shirts.

These parents need to learn the word NO,

My son (who is now 18), dressed the way we(his Father and I)
wanted him to dress, UNTIL he was 14, at that time we allowed him to dress SOMEWHAT in style. As he got older we allowed him to express his own self, but at the same time with limits.


In other words, his pants stayed on his hips, his underwear did'nt show, and he picked his feet up when he walked (no shuffling), he could dress in style, but with limits.

I just can't believe with as many sick people as there are out there , that these "parents" would allow 8,9,10,11,12 year old girls to dress that way.

I was raised alot differently, I know but ............. come on! Little girls need to dress like little girls.

I meant no offense to anyone who wears their pants low and shows their underwear, or anyone who shuffles their feet when they walk.

Wayngo 05-27-2004 05:43 AM

People who say " I could care less"

Its "I COULDNT CARE LESS" If you could care less, you would. If you coldnt, then you care at your lowest possible ability.

Oh also here is Louisiana, old people who speak in English and French. But they mix them together. Like half of a sentence is english and the other is french. They just go back and forth all day like this.

NoSoup 05-27-2004 08:10 AM

I hate when idiots park their car to just run into the store. Dude, just because you need to run in doesn't give you permission to put your car wherever the hell you want. I just need to run in too, but I have the ability to walk the 39 feet across the parking lot.

On the same topic, I hate when people park next to the building and turn on the hazard lights. Yes, I see now. The flashing yellow lights indicate that you can park wherever you want to. If you leave the damn lights on, be aware - you may find your car really disabled.

I know that it really shouldn't matter to me, but this one time I was at a local grocery store and this lady, as I was walking out, pulls up 4 feet away from the door, slams on her brakes, turns the hazards on, and runs inside.

She is actually parked on a no parking sign painted on the ground, so I - being the ever helpful citizen - realize that maybe she didn't see it. I proceeded to drag 2 of those big NO PARKING signs with the cement cylinders on the bottom, and I put one right in front of her car and one right behind. Maybe next time she'll notice.

It was rather comical because she wasn't strong enough to drag them away, and had to go back inside and have an employee do it. I would imagine that it was kinda hard to explain how it happened, cuz who would imagine that an idiot would actually take the time to drag these heavy-ass signs over to her car :D

Have you considered a career as a policeman or traffic warden?

OHMYGOD! I thought I was the only person in the world who felt this way.

I feel so much better now.

I HATE it when people say that. If you could care less, then maybe you should.

If you can't, then you can't.

I don't feel so isolated now. There is someone else in the world who has sense. This turns my whole outlook around!

raeanna74 05-27-2004 09:38 AM

People who don't keep their word.

People who pass the buck.

People who drive 10 mph under the speed limit and slow down a block before their turn.

People who ignore their responsibilities.

People who are judgemental of my lifestyle.

My mother. Pessimistic, Co-dependent, controlling, judgemental...

I'm in a negative mood can you tell?

I would have paid money to just watch the video of that. I'm going to have to remember that next time I see some idiot doing that :)

tritium 06-05-2004 11:22 PM

I HATE it when my father fucking eats yogurt. I fucking hate the word. It's the fucking smell, the sound of mushy liquid crap in a cup .... GOD! I hate yogurt!

He always uses only the tip of the spoon to get just a little yogurt ... I can't use that word anymore. I'm gonna call "shit in a cup" from here on out.

What he does is swirl the spoon around the sides of the shit in a cup to mound it all in the center, and then uses the tip (yes, only the very tip) of the spoon to get just a little dollop (I hate that word too) and then uses only his lips to take it off the spoon. AND... (I'm not done here)... he takes 2 fucking lip-licks to clean the tip of the spoon off (half of what goes in, comes back out on the spoon!). In between "bites" he is obviously moving the shit in a cup around his mouth.

I can't even stay in the same room as him while he's eating the shit in a cup. I hate it that much.

"MMMMMmmmm MMMmmmm.... I sure do like this shit in a cup!" -Dad

No, I'm generally not an angry person, but I have my 2-3 buttons -- they usually link to a nuclear warhead though...

No shit, huh?

oldtimer 06-06-2004 01:09 AM

Commericials about tampons or having to do with curing the vagina in any way!

Bleeding, odors or plugging it up to stop leaks for some reason is just a MAJOR turn-off to me not to mention disgusting. Although... it's natural? WTF is wrong with me?

I stand by what I say: "Why can't they make a: 'Skip a Maxi' button on the remote? Or some viewer enabled options like: "Menstrual: Yes No, PMS'ing?: Yes No, Extra Absorbant: Yes NO!, Fishy smell: Yes No, Wetting the bed at night? Yes No."
But, eh, who am I to judge?

Get Maxi pads... WITH WINGS!!!!
:lol: I couldn't resist one more crack. :D

BigGov 06-06-2004 01:20 AM

Geez...I can't really think of little things, I can only think of major things that should piss me off.

- Bitches in mini-vans who don't care about the traffic around them
- Hippies
- Religious freaks

If you happen to fall into any of the above catagories, I'm joking. If not, I'm not.

oldtimer 06-06-2004 01:43 AM

Oh yeah, how could I forget!!!!

I hate it when a friend [or anyone for that matter - it could be a relative, girlfriend, even the President] crowds me that you disturb the gentile hairs that lie on me! DON'T FUCKING CROWD SO CLOSE TO ME THAT I CAN FEEL YOUR REPETITIVE, HOT, HEAVY BREATHING ON ME!!!!

I don't care who you are it will always annoy the shit out of me.

And people with bad breath or nicely put as halitosis. I know some people can't help it, especially the older ones, but for god's sake - STICK A ALTOID, A CHICLET, A PEPPERMINT, WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO DO TO KEEP ME FROM SMELLING THAT RANDOM POO I WOULD FIND IN MY FRONT YARD FROM A DISRESPECTFUL NEIGHBOR'S DOG!

irseg 06-06-2004 02:25 AM

People who abruptly cut me off to be first in line at a stoplight, then take 30 seconds to accelerate to 30 mph. If you're going to steal my first-in-line privilege, at least have the decency to respect it by getting the fuck out of my way.

Whoever mentioned the stupid Nextel walkie-talkie thing is right on. You don't run MS-DOS 2.0 on a 3ghz Pentium 4, so what in the hell posesses you to use a perfectly good cell phone like a $5 walkie-talkie?! And don't try to say it's to save money, because you could more effectively do that by choosing pretty much any carrier other than Nextel.

Commonly seen on Fark: when people end a message with something like "/hates SUVs". If you know HTML, you'd know what preceding a word(s) with a "/" means. If you don't, don't do it. You don't get it, and it just makes you look like a dumbass.

It should be a law to make a few of those concrete-bottomed No Parking signs available near the entrances to every grocery and drug store, so we could all do that :)
As it is, my typical response (if they're sitting in the car waiting for someone) is to walk up and ask them, "Is it you in particular that is so damn special that you can park in a fire lane, or is it the fact that you drive a Lexus (or whatever), or both?"

People who use really bad grammar. This pisses me off. And people who are always on their phone, and people who think they are always right but they really aren't. They are just trying to cover their ass....*shakes head* Damn.

samiam 06-06-2004 02:54 PM

When I was in school I had a buddy who used to ask me the following question each time I get upset about something trivial:
"When they write the history of the world, how many words will be devoted to this?" Whenver I think of this most of the trivial irritations just go.
