Little things you cant stand...
 
This kinda goes along with the "Simple Pleasures" thread.

What are some little tiny qwerks you have, or things you absolutley cannot stand.

I cant stand fudgesicle wrapper. That squeeky frozen plastic peeling off the bar makes me cringe. Too bad i love fudgesicles.

The way some people eat. I cant stand the way some people eat and make all thier little noises, or smack on thier food. Im not offten inclined to just want to hit people, but this never fails to make me want to do that. If i was on a date with a girl and she had eating habits like this, i could nearly guarentee there wouldnt be a second date. I'd feel accompished enough if i didnt insult her because of it.

bigoldalphamale 08-25-2004 11:00 AM

people who know that two or more lanes are about to merge but they continue in the lane until the very last second in order to cheat out a few car lengths, and invariably always end up cutting someone off in the process. I F*CKING HATE THOSE PEOPLE!!!!

Redlemon 08-25-2004 11:10 AM

Radio advertisements that contain squealing tires, car horns, sirens, or ringing cell phones. These are way too distracting while driving, and I make a point of not using any service that includes these in their ads.

unoaman 08-25-2004 11:16 AM

Great_White, I'm with you on the eating, but not the sounds so much as the manner in which some people eat. I don't know if they didn't have parents to teach them table manners, or perhaps were raised by wolves, but I can't eat and watch somebody across the room from me shovel it in like they were stoking a furnace.

Oh, and I don't mind the fudgesicle wrapper, but can't stand for that wooden stick to touch my teeth! Gives me chills just thinking about it.

Cynthetiq 08-25-2004 11:17 AM

too many things to list... and I consider myself a very easy going person...

08-25-2004 11:26 AM

My boyfriend scrapes the fork off his teeth when he's eating. It drives me INSANE! I can tolerate almost anything but that noise just.....

Also, repetitive noises usually begin to irritate me...

vermin 08-25-2004 11:38 AM

When someone says they want to ask me for a favor and then proceed to give me a 5 minute recitation of everything they've done that day in hopes that the tale of woe will convince me to say yes, and do what they want. I don't need your life story. If you want something, just ask.

Nefir 08-25-2004 12:10 PM

Eh, I'm a very laid-back guy. Little things (and big things) very rarely get to me.

When they do though, I guess the worst offenders would have to be people who cause difficulties in the subway.

For instance, some people just love to start pushing into the train at the platform, before those waiting to get off the train can exit. This slows things down for EVERYONE.

And this morning, a lady (a plumper, to be precise :D) was walking up the stairs right in front of me, and as soon as she reached the top, she just stopped, completely blocking the way. This was especially pleasant since my train was arriving. I know your arteries are clogged by Saturated McFat, but would you mind catching your breath just ONE more step away? Please?

Ahem.

roachboy 08-25-2004 12:26 PM

people who talk on their cellphones while driving.
they have been the cause of more near-death experiences than i can count for myself as cyclist.

ngdawg 08-25-2004 12:49 PM

People who say one thing then do another. Don't say it if you have no intentions of following through!
Reading over my shoulder. GAWD I hate that.
Not having the manners to say 'excuse me' or 'thank you'. I tend to say 'you're welcome' very loudly to those people.
Freeway ass-riders. If i can't see your headlights behind my car, you are TOO close and I will hit the brakes to let you know that. Anyone that close to my ass better tell me they love me.

Gortexfogg 08-25-2004 12:56 PM

People who say "American" meaing a citizen of the US when everyone living in North and South American is in fact an American. It peeves me pretty well...

ShaniFaye 08-25-2004 01:03 PM

people who are ALWAYS so..to the point that you have to tell them to be somewhere an hour earlier just so they will be on time

Sargeman 08-25-2004 01:24 PM

The sound of people eating.
The sound of people kissing especially in movies or TV.
People who don't like others for no real reason.
When I bite into a big piece of onion. BARF!!!
When I'm constantly being talked to when watching a show and I'm showing obvious signs that I'm not interested in what you're saying.
People who talk on cell phones at the theater when the movie is playing.
Tell me exactly what you want or THAT you want me to do something. I'm not smart enough to catch subtle hints or guilt trips.

Church 08-25-2004 01:36 PM

Death-metal music, People standing right behind me watching tv while I'm watching tv on the couch, my parents (one of which is so stuck in his childhood times that he's a boarder-line racist), more to come when I think of it...

netnut 08-25-2004 01:39 PM

Freeway Left-lane hoggers. Some people feel the Left lane is just there to drive in. Umm, sorry, no. It is called the Passing lane and is intended for those of us in somewhat of a hurry. If you are not passing anybody on the left, get out of the lane. I can understand when there is traffic, but come on people. When you SEE me coming up behind you at a decent clip, move your a** over, don't slow down.

World's King 08-25-2004 01:41 PM

Amen, brother! Runner/driver in my case.

maleficent 08-25-2004 02:00 PM

The sound of popping gum.
The sound of someone chewing ice.
Listening to someone else's television or stereo that'sn ot in the same room with me.
Certain accents.
When someone talks with their mouth full.
When someone chews with their mouth open.
Cell phone usage in rest rooms, restaurants

KellyC 08-25-2004 03:53 PM

bad eating behaviors: talking with mouth full of food; making smacking sounds while chewing; chewing with mouth open....etc...
people who litters and spits in public and/or private places
people who speeds up to ran pass the yellow light and sometimes ran red light, c'mon now....what's another 30 seconds of waiting?
people who nudges inch by inch up while waiting for the green light
people who blocks the intersection just because the light is green, they know damn well they shouldn't do that but those jerk asses don't want to get stuck behind the red light again so they go anyway even when the fucking lane is full, so when its the other side's turn to go, can't go because those morons are blocking the fucking way!!!!
being late by 30mins-1hour...
guys who never flush when using the public restrooms, also splatters all over the damn toilet, making the place dirty and even more stinky-er....

unoaman 08-25-2004 05:24 PM

Cars are the devil's wet dream...I pretty well hate everybody that drives cars, including myself sometimes. Try doing that shit while walking down the sidewalk assholes...see what you get...pounded I hope. But get some turd behind the wheel, and the Napolean complex shines clear and bright. If you don't have balls enough to do it in Krogers, then don't screw with me on I-80.

TheDave87 08-25-2004 07:32 PM

i absolutely cant stand when people feel the need to speak such proper and fluent english when its a pretty casual setting and pretty laid back. my gf is a prime case... everything has to be exactly proper, even when its just the two of us... the thing is, i know she as well as everyone else is capable of normal speech, so why be proper 24/7?

Trisk 08-25-2004 07:42 PM

People that talk on their cell phones in the gym. Working out is hard enough without listening to your annoying cell-phone voice on the side (cell-phone voice meaning that high pitched, overly dramatic way most people talk while on the phone).

People who always ask me about personal matters in public - on the subway, bus, elevator or gym. I don't want a bunch of strangers to know about what goes on in my personal life.

Blonddie 08-25-2004 08:11 PM

Commercials- They are stupid and think everyone watching is too!
People who know everything, and have done everything you have..and better.
People who something stuck in their teeth and don't seem to care!

Sugar&Spice 08-25-2004 08:18 PM

I hate it when people use the little Ketchup packets and squirt one line down their entire fry. I don't know why, but it really irritates me.

Manic_Skafe 08-26-2004 02:07 AM

Loud people. Don't have your conversation on the bus - don't apologize to us when your phone craps out so you shout into the phone - take your conversation elsewhere.

Parents who fail to supervise and keep their kids entertained. Just because the sound of your child screaming out of boredom doesn't bother you doesn't mean it doesn't bother other people and it we shouldn't have to adjust to it. Pay attention the child, get it something to do and make sure it doesn't touch me.

Laziness. For too long I've worked in retail and I've never understood why people will go to such great lenghts just to use as little energy in the smallest tasks. It's not hard to find what you're looking for if you actually look and if you do find it - it's not hard to put it back if you pay attention to where you took it from.

The old. But that's just because they're an annoying and slow cancer on humanity that should be exterminated.....

analog 08-26-2004 02:45 AM

Not to put a damper on your day or steal your sunshine, but "talking on a cell phone" is around #10 (number ten) as a cause of traffic accidents, well behind changing the radio, eating, drinking (alcoholic AND non-alcoholic type), READING A NEWSPAPER (just for emphasis, can't believe people do that), and several other things. It's easier to notice such because of the phone to the head, but I assure you it's by no means anywhere near the worst offender. :)

Delirious 08-26-2004 03:09 AM

People who cause traffic jams from rubbernecking. The only time that was ever excusable was when there was this big breasted female on the side of the road...

Also public noise pollution drives me crazy.. There is a child in the house behind me that screams endlessly and I would love to just go over there and make it be her last scream.. Also theres a dog next door that doesn't shut the hell up..

Nancy 08-26-2004 04:35 AM

people who smack on thier food, people who dawdle, my MAC at work, kids whining and screaming because they don't get it their own way, people who constantly postpone things instead of just getting it over with. ugh.

Redlemon 08-26-2004 05:04 AM

Hey buddy, you see that line on the road just before the intersection? That's the STOP line. Your bumper is supposed to be BEHIND that line when you are stopped. If not, you are messing up the traffic flow in one way or another.

I keep getting this problem when someone in the left lane is pulled way past the line, and I'm in the right lane trying to make a right-on-red. However, this person who missed the line is frequently in an SUV or a large pickup truck, and I can't see through them.

SiN 08-26-2004 05:14 AM

+1 for eating noises...can't stand that!

And...pedestrians or bicyclists who do not understand that the sidewalk/path is to be treated just like an autoway. bike/walk on the left, pass on the right.
I don't know how many times I've had people coming towards me as I'm on the right side...and the dipshits just don't get it. Then I have to swerve out of their way.

One of these days I'm just gonna run someone over :evil:

bigoldalphamale 08-26-2004 05:43 AM

when i am in line at the bank, bagel joint, 7-eleven, et al and somebody who just finishes thier turn, comes back to the teller or cashier, interrupts my turn and requests additional servicing...

YOU HAD YOUR TURN, NOW GET TO THE BACK OF THE F*CKING LINE A$$HOLE AND WAIT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

forseti-6 08-26-2004 06:08 AM

Bad grammar. Mostly when speaking to someone. In writing I can tolerate it more.

Prince 08-26-2004 06:15 AM

Bad spelling, or speaking like a retard: "...and he axed me a question.."

skier 08-26-2004 08:54 AM

1. when women/seniors/enfeebled abuse the priviledges our society gives them
2. any eating noise when *I* am not eating
3. Line cutters. This applies to any line, including motorway lineups.
4. Screaming kids. Cut through me like butter. Shut them up already!
5. Diehard pessimests.

billege 08-26-2004 09:58 AM

Would you believe I have a thing with carwashes?

As much as I like to hand wash my baby, I live in a townhouse, and the lease actually forbids such things in the same catagory as "car maintenence." Really, it's moot because they have no spigots nearby to use if I tried to wash the car. No washing my car at home for me.

Anyway, one thing that gets me is the gas station carwashes that have become popular. These things don't even touch your car. They just waltz around it and spray. The first pass it gets your car wet, then you get some soap sprayed on. That sits for a minute, then it "power sprays" the car off. When it's done you can still see, especially on the glass, where it's "cleanER" but not clean. Where I get really annoyed is that I have to read thier little car wash signs closely (if they even have them on the pumps) to find out if it's cloth or "no touch." I find they usually say cloth if they are, and if they don't say cloth, don't drive through.

Now that you've made me thing about it, why does paying $700/month NOT qualify me to wash my car at home? I mean, is washing a car some sort of destructive action that will destroy the neighborhood? If those who rent were given access to water faucets that aren't directly billed to the unit, would those renters become shameless heathens who'd run the water just for kicks? I have got to buy a house....

Averett 08-26-2004 10:02 AM

billege, I HATE the cloth "touch" car washes!!! They drive me insane! When I was a little kid I used to hate them, I used to think that the water would leak into the car somehow. It had been years since I had been in one, I usually go into the "touchless" carwashes.

But last summer I went into a cloth car wash. Oh man, that thing could not get done fast enough. I seriously thought I was going to have a panic attack. When the entire car was covered with the cloth it just gave me the heebie jeebies. I still had the irrational fear that water would leak into the car and drown me. I just feel like I can't breathe when I'm in those things.

It creeps me out just thinking about those!

bigoldalphamale 08-26-2004 10:09 AM

Averett 08-26-2004 11:03 AM

I can't stand the "crunch" sound freshly packed snow makes when you walk on it. Man, I absolutely hate that noise.

Rlyss 08-26-2004 03:11 PM

- 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

#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:

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

I cant stand fudgesicle wrapper. That squeeky frozen plastic peeling off the bar makes me cringe. Too bad i love fudgesicles.

The way some people eat. I cant stand the way some people eat and make all thier little noises, or smack on thier food. Im not offten inclined to just want to hit people, but this never fails to make me want to do that. If i was on a date with a girl and she had eating habits like this, i could nearly guarentee there wouldnt be a second date. I'd feel accompished enough if i didnt insult her because of it.

I can't stant asshole people who think they're god's gift to this earth.

Scams...I can't stand someone trying to take advantage of someone else.

Stupid people. I mean not those who are challenged in any way, I mean normal intelligent people who dont fucking think!!!!! I've come to realize they are the basis for most other things that tweak me.

Thank You!! And people who have "home made rear end stabilizers" the size of zepplins with spray painted metal colors & glued on with Elmers = Yuck! It's quite popular in N. Ca.

Not a pretty picture...causes massive head trauma.

Squishor 09-04-2004 01:36 PM

People who don't even make the effort to check their spelling and grammar on internet forums, who use all caps or say "lol" every other word, etc. Then when someone mentiones their spelling they say "Ya i kno im a bad speler so what."

Strangers who crowd my personal space or talk to me when I'm trying to mind my own business.

People who get the little wad of spit in the corner of their mouth while they're talking...excuse me, I have to go throw up now! Even worse, people who get a bit of phlegm in their throats and instead of clearing their throat, they just keep on talking. My grandmother used to do this at the dinner table and it ruined many a meal for me.

I can't stand wrinkles in my sheets or debris in the bed, or to have anything touching me when I'm trying to go to sleep. Excessive heat is also a sleep-killer.

When you can hear a radio or tv going, just loud enough to hear but not loud enough to make out what it is.

People who use their toes to do things like change the channel on the tv. I think it's just dirty and disgusting.

My sister. God she bugs me sometimes.

People who interrupt me mid-sentence to scream out the car window at their friends they see walking by. My sister does this and I want to just kick her out of the car right there.

Guys who scratch their crotch in public.

Stupid small talk that means nothing.

People who act all happy to see you when you know it's fake.

People who loudly bring up big wads of phlegm from their throat and spit it out. Even worse, people who hold one nostril and blow snot straight out of their nose. Oh my god! When did this ever become acceptable public behavior?!

Babies and small children crying. People who assume you want to see or hold their baby.

People who try to act all experienced when they obviously know nothing about what they're talking about. If you don't know, just ask, don't be phony.

Irritating people - they're everywhere!

raven12 09-04-2004 07:31 PM

People who dont put on their turn signals when turning.

jordan_is_god 09-04-2004 09:18 PM

i absolutley positvely hate the other ppl eating thing too... its like fingernails on a chalkboard... my gf hates how it drives me nutts she tries to eat quietly but it doesnt matter i eventually have to get up and move or turn the tv up... the other day at work i was upstairs watchin espn and the owners brothercame up with a bowl of spaggetti o's..... i wanted tostrangle him... it was all i could do to not jump up and scream at the top of my lungs.. WOULD U PLEASE NOT SLURP THE DAMN FOOD!!!!!

Frowning Budah 09-05-2004 07:09 AM

Not so little, but I hate getting up in the morning.

radioguy 09-05-2004 11:25 AM

over reacting people. some people blow up for no reason.

Eowyn_Vala 09-10-2004 06:58 PM

When people say they are sorry and you can tell they aren't!

People who leave trash laying everywhere, even when visiting other people. There are such a thing as trash cans and if you don't know where it is ask. If it is full, mention that there isn't anywhere to put it. Grrrrr..........

The sound of at least ten different phones ringing all day long. I have learned to tune this out at work, but at the oddest times like when I am having a terrible day I can't do it.

Watching the same movie more than four times in a day or two. If it is a good movie I can see maybe up to four times. After that it is just annoying. And movies that aren't good, then the second time around it really is annoying.

People who call you and when you don't call them back in the next day or two, they call again and bitch at you. Sure it would be nice to get a return call right away, but did they ever think you might be extremely busy! Or that you might not want to talk to them!

Little kids screaming in stores while their parents ignore them.

Shopping at any other time than late at night. Too many people during the day.

People who ask when something (ie. the state fair) is going to start and they have the internet right in front of them!

Smokers who blow their exhaled smoke right in your face. Even though I may be smoking as well I don't care to smoke a second at the same time.

Cats in heat!

Abuse or neglect of animals!

No turn signals especially when changing lanes!

inharmony 09-10-2004 07:05 PM

aluminum foil anywhere close to my teeth

Swirlie 09-11-2004 07:04 PM

r u ready 4 this 1? <-----

Why... Oh WHY is it acceptable for people to converse this way in e-mail or in chat rooms/message boards, etc.? Spell the damn words people...

And people wonder why, when I look at the young kids around me today, I fear for society when I get old...

StickODynomite 09-14-2004 03:51 PM

"The sound of people eating.
The sound of people kissing especially in movies or TV.
When I bite into a big piece of onion. BARF!!!
When I'm constantly being talked to when watching a show and I'm showing obvious signs that I'm not interested in what you're saying.
People who talk on cell phones at the theater when the movie is playing."
Sargeman, I'm with you there! :thumbsup:

Now my turn :D
people that feel like they have the right to tell me what to do
Snobby people
people who make no sense when they argue
Obnoxious/loud people (this doesn't particularly bother me at a party, for example, but in the mall.. i wanna choke em)
Kids that act like total brats while the parents just sit around like its ok for their children to harrass the crap out of dogs and people(i frequently visit the dog park w/ my two pups)
People who talk negatively about something they know NOTHING about
Huge girls that wear clothes that wouldn't even fit me (that just annoys me so much..bravo for the courage, but dang.. that's going a bit far)
Girls or guys that stare at me like i killed their mama or like im a piece of meat
When someone asks me if my pit bull is a boxer :rolleyes:
.... i could go on, but really.. i should stop.

Leefy 09-14-2004 04:14 PM

I can't stand people who talk similar to: "hey man wat up with u, how r u i am newb i cnt type rofll!!!"

Amarth 09-14-2004 04:39 PM

The wooden sticks inside the fudgescicle. *shudder* Grossin me out just thinking about it. Feminists. Suicide. Even moreso, attempted suicide. (Those two probably don't get me a ton of fans here, but hey, it's the way I feel.) Bad Anime. Authority. Con-artists. ummm... that's all I can think of.

Are you sure you're not me dude, but in some parallel dimension that shares
network connections?

Point Three especially comes across in the Flame Wars known as the
Pentagon Conspiracy that's on two separate boards right now.
I need to find just one person out there whom can have a true arguement with.

Oh, I also hate people who don't listen to reason, are close-minded, have
no logical sense about them, and people who hate History.

Verx 09-15-2004 08:17 PM

People who always repeat lines from movies. "Yes i have heard that line before because i was sitting right next to you at the theatre"

KUGR 09-15-2004 09:14 PM

People who say: "I could care less"
