Little things that irritate you that shouldn't

I must be a fairly irritable anal person. I always find stupid little things that bug me. Yesterday I was driving along and the car in front of mine had it's registration expiration date tags in the wrong spot on the license plate. The month tag is supposed to go on the bottom left corner, and the year on the bottom right. This guy had the month on the top right, and the year on the top left. Drove me crazy. Why I don't know. It doesn't harm anybody or anything.
So what really annoys you even though it really doesn't matter, or shouldn't bug you?

I have a ton, but now that I have to think about it I can't I guess one big one is when my boyfriend leaves the toilette seat up. I mean, seriously, what's the big freakin deal?

*edit* I just thought of something else that bugs the hell out of me. When people park in handicap spaces, or just pull right up to the curb in front of my store and "run in real quick". And when people take up more than one space on purpose just because they have a "nice" vehicle. Pisses me off.

I agree however...
Having grown up with brothers, and lived with 4 guys 3 years of college, they'd tell me, what's the big deal in putting the seat down? They never quite got it... Neither did I....

My big one, is chewing gum. I hate the sound of it. Especially popping gum. It's like fingernails running down a blackboard, over and over and over again, non stop. And I know people are doing it intentionally, and Ihonestly don't understand why.

People who threaten their children in public.
"If you don't stop your whining, I'm gonna beat your ass" No you aren't. Please, if you actually disciplined your child, it wouldn't be acting like a brat right now. He knows it's an empty threat. He knows he's annoying everyone around you, and you will eventually give in to him to stop people from looking at you.

And I probably should add, people who don't have children (cause they're smart) who know they are the worlds experts on raising children. (Not that I am like that at all!!)

I got a bazillion more

what's even worse is when their cell phone is also a walkie talkie and it beeps every damn time they say something. that is 100 times worse.

It irritates me to no end when people tap things, or make noises of that sort. I almost smacked this kid at a movie theatre for putting his foot on an empty popcorn bag and sliding it around on the floor. Back and fourth back and fourth. I wanted to scream and cut off his foot.

I'm sort of like that. Stick pretzels... I have to take 2 at a time. Same with french fries. And I seperate M&M's based on color, and eat them from the lowest numberd color to the highest. It's just a little bit OCD..

I just hate when people have pens, knives, sticks or any other sharp objects randomly pointing towards my eyes. I mean, they could be 4 feet away and it still bothers me.

What bothers me even more is when people don't turn their little weapons of eye poking away when I ask them, and they mock me for it. Its a huge fear, and some people are just complete assholes about it.

I don't get it. Do you have a color numbering scheme? Is green a lower numbered color than yellow? What am I missing here?

Hearing only half of a conversation bugs me.

Just so Averett won't think she's odd -it's perfectly normal behavior. If there are 4 red m&ms, 8 green m&ms, 12 yellow m&ms, and 16 brown. You eat the red first, then the yellow, then the brown -- you always eat the green last... (but I'm weird like that)


Doesn't everyone eat their m&ms like that?

Say there are 30 M&M's. 13 brown, 10 red and 7 green.
So here's what I do.... Take one green and split it in my mouth. Chew the halves on both sides of my mouth. Then take 2 green ones at a time and eat them. Then do the reds... Then two browns until I'm left with one brown and I split that in half.

Its sort of hard to explain.... But everyone makes fun of me for it

I used to eat the green last, but I strayed away from that method. The only other person I know that does that is my Dad. I guess we're not the only ones!

Damn you and your infinite wisdom. I feel inferior now.

I hate cigerette smoke to no end. I also hate squeeky beds (which I have two of). I'd like to add in that I hate pop-ups as well. Last, I have a large hatred for addressing envelopes. There's plenty more...just give me time; it's hard to think of 'em now that I'm trying to.

I have a similar quirk with Skittles. I sort them out, then eat the excess of each color until I have the same amount of each color. Then I eat one of each color at a time until I run out.

I rarely do it anymore- but nitpicking about the kitchen becoming messy right after I cleaned it, not changing the toilet paper on the roll, not putting the seat down when you flush (if you don't it spreads germs). But that's just the neat freak in me. Nothing else bothers me.

Less-than-perfect spelling and grammar (written) irk me something fierce.

It's one thing to speak in the vernacular, but the written language deserves far more respect. Don't end a sentence with a preposition, don't misuse APOSTROPHES, and LEARN THE DIFFERENCE AMONG "THEIR" "THERE" and "THEY'RE"!

People who chew gum with their mouths open need to be poleaxed. ARRGHH!

I also sometimes separate M&Ms. When I was a kid, my favorite snack was a handful of croutons...and I had a certain order in which I'd eat them.

I don't see any point to it, either; does ANYONE have a reasonable explaination for it? I've heard that it doesn't use any of your minutes, but that sounds too good to be true.

The smacking noise that some people make when they open and close their mouths is mildly annoying. Mouth sounds while eating really annoy the shit out of me...

I had to sit next to some guy in church this past week that kept opening and shutting his mouth every second for an hour and a half. I don't know why, but I couldn't focus on anything except my blind rage at the sound. I wanted to karate chop the man in the throat. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr....

Don't be around me if you eat with your mouth open. I'll go nuts.
