Little things you cant stand...

[Great_White]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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

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]

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]

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 ) 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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

Everything.

Amen, brother! Runner/driver in my case.

[maleficent]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

+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]

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]

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

[Prince]

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

[skier]

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]

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]

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]

^^^you're funny.

[Averett]

Thanks, I think

[matteo101]

People who complain about little things...



jk

[omega2K4]

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