Push-Pull

The things that your roommates, SO, and others do that peeve you off.....

Moving my stuff when it was already put away.

Leaving crumbs in the butter, or generally "mixing" food stored in the fridge.

Leaving a can/cup/pitcher of whatever with like 2 sips left in the fridge.


Whaddya got to add?

Assumptions.
It's always, "well, I didn't think you(insert common action)...." or "I thought(insert dumb assumption)"
Ask. I don't understand why that's so difficult.

JustJess

Please, for the love of whatever god you like, please, please... do not fart on me when you're cuddling with me or giving me a backrub. It may seem ungrateful of me, but dammit, that's just not cool!!! And in that situation... so close to my FACE!

Sheesh.

People who don't use their cruise control. They speed up and pass you at eighty. Then they slow down to like 68 and get passed by a dozen cars. WTF? Just set it and forget it!

Haha I agree. I love my cruise control!

dirtyrascal7

One of my biggest... people who do use their cruise control.

Why? Because they set it and forget it, causing their awareness to drop off dramatically. And they will pull into the left lane to pass someone going 2-3 mph slower than them, and it will take 5 minutes to complete the pass.

Cruise control is fine when there isn't any traffic, but now days how often does that happen?

Knuckle popping. It just grates on my nerves.

Not putting dirty laundry in the laundry basket. Leaving cupboard doors open (SO is notorious for this), leaving the microwave door open. For God's sake, you're 24, clean up after yourself!

That felt good. And yes, he knows how I feel.

Mom?!?

No seriously. People who have me do something because they don't know how and are too lazy or feel it's beneath them to learn how to do it themselves even though I'd be happy to explain it.

ItWasMe

People that buy $50 in groceries, when the store is very busy, the lines very long...and then pay for it in change. Not even quarters or rolled coins; in small, loose change. And then argue that the cashier counted incorrectly because they counted twenty five cents more. And then when the cashier recounts the change and comes up with the same figure, they argue that the cashier must have dropped that twenty five cents somewhere, because she was being careless.

If I needed to raid my piggy bank to go shopping, I would either use a coin counting machine at the bank, or at the very least not do it during 'rush hour' traffic.

edit: man, but that felt goood to get off my chest.

Mister Coaster

Little things Mrs. Coaster does:

Leaves the cap off the toothpaste.

Laundry is her 'job' and she will take it down, sort, wash, dry, fold, then doesn't put it away... drives me batshit-insane to see piles of clean laundry everywhere. Yeah yeah, take it up yerself, I know... but when I mow the lawn, I finish the whole job, I don't leave the last step undone.

Things that just tick me off:

Last second lane-changers (they come up going way faster than you, and practically clip your bumper when they finally change lanes and pass) when the freeway is not busy. Come on you douche, there's plenty of space, do it sooner.

People who refer to themselves in 3rd person. Also, people who use the incorrect pronouns. "So, how are we today?" when addressing only me. ENGLISH, MOTHERF***ER! DO YOU SPEAK IT?

People who don't get my very dry and sarcastic sence of humor.

LazyBoy

I HATE when my roomate(s) shave, and don't even bother to wash all the lil hair down the sink, just kinda leave it in there....HOW HARD IS IT!?!?!?!

It also aggitates:sp: when they are too cheap to purchase any food/drink other than they're "bare necessities" but they'll gladly eat any "other" food I decide to purchase...

I also get angry about the fact that they can use the ice, but they can't refill the ice trays.


I mean, this isn't enough stuff that takes much effort...

Oh yeah. Homicide stems from that.

What is so hard about putting the milk, orange juice, or any other large container (that needs to be refrigerated) BACK in the fridge?

Being sick. I feel absolutely useless- like a burden- on top of just feeling like shit. I know that people who care about me WANT to take care of me, like I would take care of them, but it's an unshakable feeling.

clavus

For the love of all that is holy, DON'T LEAVE STUFF ON THE STAIRS! I'm going to goddamn kill myself some day and the cause will be "slipped on toy car left on stairs."

And put the butter back in the fridge when you are done with it. Seriously.

I have friends that don't keep the butter in the fridge, they leave it out. Seriously.
I thought that's how one gets stuff like Salmonella.
(And yes, it does taste worse being left out than if it's frigderated.)

Lasereth

1. People who drive 65 in a 65 and 65 in a 55. They just go at 65 regardless of the speed limit.

2. Websites that have a search function but don't put the cursor in the search area when you go to them. This grates my nerves. If I want to do a search, then put the cursor in the freaking search box!!

3. People who explain jokes or say "you're so funny" after someone makes a funny comment. Example: Person A says "yeah you better watch out for person B, I hear he likes sausage a lot!!" and then the whole room starts laughing, and person C says "ha ha ha!!! person B fell in a tank of sausage one time!! yeah he fell in the tank of sausage and couldn't get out!" and then the entire joke is ruined because the person explained the whole scenario and broke the momentum. The only thing worse is when a person says "you're so funny" instead of laughing.

4. When a group of people notice a person in a room may have a comical side to them and begin to laugh at every single thing the person says, even if it's not supposed to be funny, so that they're forced to turn every comment into a joke in order to not be awkward in front of the crowd. Example: person A walks into a party and says "beer time!!!!!!!" and then the room bursts into laughter. Then person A genuinely says "thanks for the beer, I was dying of thirst" and then the room bursts into laughter again for no reason because they were expecting something funny out of the funnyman.

5. At a 4-way stop intersection, the first person that gets there goes first. Then everyone goes in order. In my city there's basically an epidemic of people rolling through 4-way stops regardless of when they got there. It almost causes wrecks everyday.

ItWasMe

I agree! And how hard is it to actually use the last quarter inch of milk, orange juice, etc., and then throw the empty carton away? That's about as bad as leaving one sheet of toilet paper on the roll, so you don't have to change it.

People reading over my shoulder while I'm on the computer. YES, I'M TALKING TO YOU.

Clare

Having to over explain a passing comment you made. You say something as a drifting part of conversation, nothing ground breaking and one person misses it or doesnt understand and you have to explain the whole conversation again. If you say its not important they get defensive and start thinking you're just leaving them out!! It becomes soul destroying for me, the childish why, why, why, i don't get it always rubs me the wrong way! hehe rant over

“I mumble a lot off-stage, I'm a mumbler. If I'm walking with a friend and I say something, he won't hear me, he'll say 'What?'. So I'll say it again, but once again he doesn't hear me, so he says 'What?'. Really it's just some insignificant shit that I'm saying, but now I'm yelling, 'That tree is far away!' - Mitch Hedberg

snowy

This is so me. I mumble to myself a lot, and my SO will hear me mumbling from the other room. Thinking I'm talking to him, he'll yell, "WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?" or something else to that extent at the top of his lungs. Now, half-deaf, I have to reply, "I wasn't talking to you." "HUH?" "I wasn't talking to you!" "WHAT?" "I WASN'T TALKING TO YOU!" "THEN WHO WERE YOU TALKING TO?"

"MYSELF, DAMMIT, I WAS TALKING TO MYSELF!" And then my witty inner monologue is utterly ruined, because I chanced to whisper a bit of it aloud.

People driving in the diamond or car pool lane who are going the same speed or slower than the people in the regular lanes.

It should be legal to shoot these people. I think it may already be in some of the red states. That's about the only thing that could get me to leave California.

Titan_Uranus

When my wife drives my car and changes everything ,seat positioning ,steering etc.

Assholes that don't put weights back where they belong at the gym, people that hog machines ,and when you see them doing something and it's all wrong, basically anybody comes there to mess around, pisses me off.

LazyBoy

I get aggravated when someone is cutting the grass, they have the exit of the deck point towards the road, and they blow junk all over your car when you drive by.

I hate the friends that take but never return, or return less of what was taken. (Happens way too often!)
It upsets me considerably when someone mixes butter w/ the peanut butter. Not only am i a vegan but I'm lactose intolerent to that shit!
I can't stand the lack of respect that many of my peers at school have. Total stangers and even ppl whom I know have taken food and drink from me right in front of my face w/out asking! I'll be like so how's that now and later tasting, then they'll act dumb. If there wasn't a law against homocide they'd be dead. They have also fucked with my other belongings such as pens, books, etc. They also dont pick up after themselves at the lunch table. I go to this rich all boys school and it drives me fucking mad how spoiled these kids are. I'm glad to have lived both sides public and private, but man these guys have much to learn.
-Thanks

I hate how people drive nowadays. No signaling because almost every loser is on their stupid cell phone. Then every red light everyone has to check each other out.

If I set something down I expect to find it EXACTLY where I left it. If you move it I will not know where it is. Change the danged toilet paper roll sometimes eh? Just because you have to be awake at 4am does not mean everyone else does, metal is not appropriate at such volume levels so early.

You are so my mom...since I was a little girl I would walk into the kitchen and my mom would be sorting through bills talking to herself...at the time I thought she too had an imaginary friend. Then I'd ask her, mommy who are you talking to? She was like "oh, just myself sweety." That was that. lol its nice to know other people do that too...

Well...my family leaves the butter out. It's soft and easier to put on toast...I mean come on when it comes out of the fridge you gotta wait for it to freaking melt. The taste was never bad for me, pretty good in fact.

Ok now to my stuff.

People who don't reset the microwave timer and leave it with 10 seconds left to go. That drives me ape shit.
Blatant inconsiderate things, like if the trash is full...take the fucking thing out. If the dishwasher is full, turn it ON! If the dishes are done, PUT THEM AWAY! My god...

Oh and the ultimate...I live with two other girls in a house and the main owner of the house runs at A.C. at 70 degrees every night when it's 45 degrees outside and instead of the opening the window she needs to spend more money and freeze me and my other roommate out. She doesn't have an alarm system or a gun or anything so she doesn't want to open windows! WTF! Honestly!

Oh I just remembered...
When I'm sitting in a class of around 150 students, and there is a medley going on of people coughing. I cannot stand them. I want to stand up and throw cough drops at every single one of them!

it's usually family memebers that do this to me. When I'm washing dishes, I except all the dirty ones to already have been in the sink. When in the middle of a wash, and more dirty dishes are brought from someplace, it totally pisses me off. Not sure why, but that's how I feel. Like I agree to wash X number of dishes, but X+1, no deal. Odd, huh?

~~Being compared to an ex. Especially the assumptions regarding how I'm going to respond to something based on how The Ex used to respond.

~~When people have to stick Just One More Thing into the garbage can. Seriously. There really IS a limit, I'm not just kidding. If you don't beleive me YOU clean it up when the bag breaks next time.

~~Irresponsible and inappropriate statements made in public about another person/persons due to their race, gender, ethnicity, religion, whatever. It makes me look stupid for hanging out with you, too.

~~Throwing dirty clothes on the floor in front of the hamper. Apparently, the extra 6 inches up and 24 inches over when throwing the clothes is too much of an effort. Especially when the clothes in front pile up to the top of the EMPTY hamper.

And when other people picke at me every single time I leave something on the stairs, the cabinet doors open, use my cruise control, pop my knuckles, talk to myself, leave one sheet on the roll....
