- People who interrupt or talk to me when I've long left the room
- Eating sounds, particularly people who 'snap' their teeth while chewing *Shudder*
- Other peoples' toes touching me (unless it's my partner)
- People who don't refill the kettle! Use it, refill it, turn it on, so it's hot straight away for the next person!
- Other peoples' wet towels :(
- People who don't get the hint when I'm trying to finish a phone conversation

Me too!

And styrofome. In any form. Drop ceilings... Packing stuff. Ack.

#1 has gotta be the left-lane hoggers. I drive 65 miles/day and it drives me absolutely freaking insane.

Also eggs. Phooey.

amonkie 08-26-2004 11:10 PM

having to explain to people that no means NO. Not ask me in five minutes, not bribe me with stuff, or whine and wheedle, or saying that America won't love me if I don't go to the George P. Bush rally. No. End of story.

alpha 08-26-2004 11:30 PM

Another vote for eating noises. Sometimes it can drive me fucking nuts.

Great_White 08-26-2004 11:34 PM

Oh yeah, and that old dwarf lady from movies like poltergiest and.. I forget what else shes in. I cant stand her voice.

Bim 08-27-2004 04:14 AM

I have 2 that tie for first place on my "ARGHHHHH" list.

1.) People that ask stupid ass question. Everyones guilty of it. even me from time to time. But damn it annoys the hellout of me.

One example:

Me: Looking around room franticly, searching for my wallet.
Friend: sitting on couch "What ya looking for?
Me: "My wallet i can't find it"
Friend: "Well, where did you leave it?" - or responce two- "Well, where did you last see it?"
Me: F***ING S*** IF I KNEW WHERE I LEFT IT, OR IF I KNEW WHERE I LAST SAW IT, I WOULD HAVE IT RIGHT NOW!!!!! S***!!!!!
Friend: Starts watching T.V again

2.) The sound of people eating... little smacks here and there. Some people can't chew with there mouth closed. Apearntly people can't breath through there noses. God those little noises piss me off. Even to points i will go eat alone in my bedroom to escape the noises.

smack smack smack... AHHHHH!

edit: And the fact i can't ever type correctly. I always spell "the" "teh" things like that. AGHHHHHHH!!!

roboshark 08-27-2004 05:03 AM

People that smell. What's the deal with that? Take a shower already! Change your fricking clothes at least once a week! Use some deodorant, for Chrissakes'.

Bad breath irritates me too. Pop a breath mint or something!

People that stand too close to me. People that touch me, bump into me, or lean on me in the bus, or train, or whatever.

Worst nightmare: sitting on the bus, next to a smelly person with bad breath that likes to "fill" their seat so that their shoulder or thighs have to touch mine! Aaargh, hand me those cyanide pills, please!

Averett 08-27-2004 09:13 AM

When you buy an apple and get a breed that's all mealy and not crunchy :( Stupid Jonagold apples are horrible.

double 08-27-2004 12:05 PM

Too much plastic wrap on a sandwich from seven eleven (the ones that you have to take to violent means with to tear open).

Plastic packages that just seems like theyre designed never to be opened.. Whats the deal with these packages? :confused:

TurbineSlut 08-27-2004 02:26 PM

Things that bug me:
- The little sound some people make when shifting around stuff like furniture and they let out their breath in a little sigh/grunt after having held their breath during the excertion.
- People reading over my shoulder uninvited.
- R&B "music"
- People that will stop at the top of an escalator to orient themselves. "Hello?!?! there are about 50 people coming up behind you which have no where else to go. Please move the FUCK out the way!"

08-27-2004 09:11 PM

-when people talk too much, especially when you're trying to concentrate on something (or someone butting into a conversation)
-when people think they rule the road
-chewing with their mouth open or talking with their mouth full
-when people get upset over the littlest things
-cell phone ringing constantly

MSD 08-27-2004 09:49 PM

-People who call back ten times instead of leaving a message. If I wanted to ehar the phone ring 40 times, I'd call myself and turn the answering machine off

-My brother and his girlfriend making out everywhere. I yelled at him and told him that even she looked annoyed, and they toned it down, but if I'm giving them and their friends a ride somewhere, do not sit in my car audibly kissing. In fact, I'm annoyed by almost all high school couples

-Other drivers. If you are not comfortable going the same speed as me, move right so I can pass you or get off my road (yes, it's mine, not yours.) This is especially true of women (and the occasional man) who cannot see over the wheel of their SUV and weave back and forth in such a way as to cause vehicles in both lanes to slam on their brakes to avoid being crushed.

-The elderly driver who is unable to notice the dense line of cars forming behind their 1979 Buick Land Yacht Deluxe with the speedometer that pegs at 45mph.

-The same driver from the above complaint who cannot go faster than 35 on highways, yet barrels down city streets at 50 in a school zone and can't tell the difference between open road and a crosswalk filled with people. I actually had to dive out of the way of someone fitting this description who ran a red light as I crossed from the school to the parking garage.

yournamehere 08-28-2004 07:44 PM

A guy I share an office with recently developed the habit of rapping his knuckles on the desk whenever he talks, in time to his speaking - especially when he's on the phone, but he does it all the time, even at the lunch table. And I'm not talking about the occasional finger tapping - this is constant, loud, and very obnoxious.

He's also a snort-and-swallower - I can't stand that either. I'm always asking him if it tastes better than it sounds.

Loud, obnoxious eating is my pet peeve as well. I'm more inclined to feel the need to stab them in the temple with a fork, though. :eek:

Try Fujis. Nothing better than a fuji apple. :D

timalkin 08-29-2004 11:26 AM

When I'm walking behind someone on the sidewalk, attempting to pass them and they constantly "drift" in front of me, preventing my passing. Why can't people walk in a straight line?

little_tippler 08-30-2004 07:41 AM

one more for eating noises!

Also people who can't eat liquid stuff with spoons. You know, it's those people who feel they have to put the spoon in their mouths right now or the soup will fall off it (so they look like robots going down to the spoon and then going straight for the next one...) - also hate soup slurpers.

People who lick their knife while eating...

People who don't look up EVER from their food while eating, scoffing their food

People who nudge me or touch me in public transport, or stand way too close (someone already said that right?) - people who edge so close to your butt in a check-out cue you could bend down and hit them with it...

people who pick their nose, spit, clip their nails (oh yes, the flying remnants) in public.

reckless drivers who committ the worst offences and then proceed to let you know rudely that it's actually YOUR fault (yeah right)

total lateness (more than 30 minutes) and not even a call to let you know why...

I'll think of more peeves later surely...lol

This one never bugged me until this morning, when I came to the conclusion that people walk worse than they drive. Now I got my liscence in Connecticut, but spent all my driving years in NJ and Mass, so the bar is pretty low on being around really good drivers. Drivers in those areas are bad... Walkers are worse.

I think people shoudl start wearing directionals on their butts as well as brake lights so when they go to change direction or stop, it's easy to spot. When entering a busy corridor, they need to learn how to use the merge lane, and not just pull out into a congested corridor, they wouldn't do it driving... well some would.

The airports are the worst because people are usually toting a big ass suitcase behind them, don't they realize if they drove a car with a trailer hitch, they'd have to take more care when driving, same rules apply to walking.

amonkie 08-30-2004 08:56 AM

Maleficent, this totally made my day! :) And I'm probably more guilty than most of this, but it's not my fault! Honestly! I spend so much effort and attention just to make sure I stay upright that wether or not I'm walking in a straight line is inconsequential, as long as there's not a pole off to one side or the other.

maleficent 08-30-2004 09:14 AM

The constant handout... Schools starting soon, so I'm going to have to brace myself...

Everyone always wants money for some good cause, and they think their cause is worthy of it.

Got an email from a colleague this morning, he's doing a walk for ALS, excellent cause, and there's a personal connection, a guy we worked with was diagnosed with it in February. OK, I'll give ya some cash. Two weeks ago, a friend was doing a breast cancer walk, would I sponsor her, breast cancer got both my grandma's -- so it's a good cause, sure I'm in. Then another colleagues Eagle Scout son, is selling some sort of crap as a fund raiser, sure sign me up... Yes, i could say no, but these people I have relationships with, that guilt factor would come into play.

Please, just stop asking for money... PLEASE....

waltert 08-30-2004 09:24 AM

stickers and ricers, not to mention that they go hand in hand. people who do these horribly disgusting modifications to their cheap cars and think that it looks good. and large chrome wheels on cheap cars. and why the fuck do people think that sticking chrome shit on your car makes it look nice?
sorry, im getting worked up, its almost lunch time

Jonsgirl 08-30-2004 09:45 AM

I hate stupid people. The people who play stupid, cause it's easier to get by that way.Or the people who just refuse to learn anything!
People who disturb you when you're reading/ wearing headphones.
When other people tell you what you feel.

Can you tell he sells cell phones for a living? :thumbsup:

Let's see...#1 would be people turning left across oncoming traffic after their turn arrow has changed to red. Why is their time more valuable than mine? #2 Those inconsiderate bastards that insist on hand washing their cars when they're living in a townhouse. Don't they know how tacky that looks to the rest of us? ;) J/K, billege. #3 People who insist on taking their rowdy unruly children to nice restaurants. Hey, I have a two year old myself. When we dine out, he either stays at home, or we eat at McDonald's. Why do you think I want to see your kid running rampant through the restaurant? #4 People who insist that Sarah Michelle Gellar was the hot one on "Buffy". Clueless...just, clueless. :D

MikeyChalupa 09-01-2004 11:07 AM

PEOPLE WHO TYPE IN ALL CAPS or Do THiS sTUpiD ShiT.

Also, "ATM Machine" and "PIN Number". So I should enter my Personal Identification Number Number into the Automatic Teller Machine Machine?

That's one of my favorite sounds...reminds me of being a kid again.

To all that hate food sounds; Check out an oriental noodle house, it will make you appreciate how quiet people from the West actually do eat;)

I can't stand piss moaners and complainers.

MSD 09-01-2004 02:24 PM

People who can't understand that flashing high beams means that I want to pass. I waited so that there's a nice gap in the right lane for you to pull into, now please stay in the slow lane if you aren't passing.

username 09-01-2004 02:31 PM

I'm normally very laid back and easy going, but the one thing that gets to me the most are bicyclists who believe they can switch between pedestrian and vehicle laws depending on the situation.

Truth be told, that is considered agressive driving, and in some states you might just get ticketed...

maleficent 09-01-2004 02:40 PM

what cell phone number?

OMG! i feel the exact same way... they slow everyone else down even more too. the worst ones pull to the right of you to pass you up a few extra cars... so they create their own lane in the shoulder.

tropple 09-03-2004 03:16 PM

The way my wife crunches potato chips.

Makes me want to snatch them away and fill her mouth will marshmellow fluff and peanut butter so she can never crunch again.

fallen_angel 09-03-2004 04:57 PM

things i hate the most:
people asking me a question when i just took a bite.
when someone is holding something out for me to take and then shakes it when i dont, if i wasnt busy i would have grabbed it before you started shaking it.
people who cant seem to find stuff even when i tell them the exact place along with detailed discription of what it looks like.
people who look over my shoulder anytime. (unless you have your arms around my waist)
teachers who think they are funny and the rest of the class is about ready or is already asleep.
when you dont get recognized for doing a good job because no one nnotices you unless you do something bad at work so you never move up in rank.
when people pick favorites and everyone else gets left behind.

amis2481 09-03-2004 05:35 PM

I hate it when people whistle thier S's. And I really hate it when people say "um" or "like" all the time.

Dane Bramage 09-03-2004 06:05 PM

People that stand to close in lines at the grocery, convience store or any line for that matter. It's called "personal space" and I wish they would learn it. Especially when I'm checking out at the grocery and waiting for my change from the clerk. They think it's thier time to move up and push me out of the way. It's a good thing I'm a pacifist...

It's been said above, but I will add my two cents to the pile... people that won't get out of your way in the left lane. Or even worse... people that hover right next to the rear wheels of a tractor/trailer. I mean... not somepleace I wanna be if the sh*t hits the fan.
