Do you have any strange annoyances?

[Loves Disney]

When people say, "Can I ask you a question?" Didn't exactly leave me much of an option now did they?

When people "bad" talk WDW! No one talks like that about my baby and gets away with it!

When people tell me my opinion is wrong just so that they can find a way to tell you what their opinion is, in the most unrespectful way...

Those knats! Those icky black bugs that swarm around my head on those warm summer nights. Then they find ways into my eye!! Gah!

When people say, for example: "I did 'good' on that paper." I just want to say, "Well...you mean you did WELL on that paper!" lol. I don't usually correct anyone other than close friends and family however, I am not the kind of person to point that out (it embarrasses some people lol)

I annoys me when people double click the mouse when you only have to click it once.

I'm annoyed when my towels are folded the wrong way.

Don't get me wrong. I'm FAR from a neat freak. The rest of my house can be in shambles (which it usually is with 4 pets & 4 kids), but my towels have to be folded correctly.

When my folks have come to visit and kindly throw in a load of towels, I have to beat them to the dryer. I have been known to actually get up in the middle of the night & re-fold them.

I'm not "different"...I'm special

One of my strange annoyances are threads about strange annoyances!!!

How weird is that?!?

 

[CathrynRose]

I'm ok with normal eating, but my 15yo is so noisy! My DH will slurp is coffee if it's too hot, too, which drives me crazy. And I don't mean once. I'll ask him if he needs an ice cube.

Oh Lord - I forgot about Jimmy in the morning, with his stinking coffee too....

*If it's that stinking HOT, dont drink it yet!!!* L L ! ! ! !

 

[Stacey2grls]

I forgot my biggest annoyance, people invading my personal space! What is wrong with people? Back the heck up! Standing on a line, and the person behind you is literally breathing on the back of your neck. This one makes me MENTAL!

 

[fabumouse]

Styrofoam.

I cannot stand the squeakkkkkkky sound it makes; no matter what I do I cannot move it quietly.

I've been known to leave whole boxes of it so my DH can throw it away when I'm not in the house.

 

[YorkieMommyKandis]

When people are eating anything that is in a noisy bag (chips for example)...it just annoys me to hear the bag constantly rattling while they dig and dig.

I'm also annoyed by people standing too close to me in line. What do we do about these people??! Sometimes I feel like it is their way of hurrying me on...

Oh, and when I am driving on a 2 lane road and finally get to a passing area and the person ahead of me who was previously going 10 under the speed limit suddenly speeds up. Ego problem??!!

 

[Tigger&Belle]

Oh Lord - I forgot about Jimmy in the morning, with his stinking coffee too....

*If it's that stinking HOT, dont drink it yet!!!* L L ! ! ! !

And then I'll be waiting for my coffee to cool down enough for me to drink and my DH will tell me not to forget my coffee. Honey, I'm waiting for it to cool down enough so I don't slurp it!!!

The words "utilize" and "monies". Geez. Just USE MONEY.

The phrase "went missing". Remember the good old days when people just disappeared?

Seams on the toes of socks. I have to wear them inside out.

I share an office; it's very small. My coworker passes wind, and then walks out of the office. Not only am I left to suffer the consequences, but invariably someone walks in right after she walks out, and guess who they think did it? If she's going to walk out of the office, can't she just wait until she leaves??? It happens often.

 

[gypsydoodlebug]

Fair warning. I have very little patience.

1. GUM CHEWING! I made my boss spit his gum into my hand (like I was his mom) because I seriously couldn't understand a word he was saying. He must've had FOUR pieces of Bubblecious in that grill. DH crams a wad into his jaw, too, and then carries on a State of the Union address and expects me to follow along and gets frustrated when I have no idea what he's saying.

2. "It don't..." The whole phrase makes me cringe, and DD's preschool teacher says it. I'm debating whether to talk to the director about the teacher's grammar, or just try to correct it at home... I'm a professional writer, so my tolerance levels are lower.

3. Toothpaste on my towel. DH wipes his mouth on MY towel daily after brushing his chops, despite the fact that his hangs NEXT to mine. WTH?

4. Hypocrisy. There's a woman at work who won't eat at chain restaurants, PERIOD, yet she shops at big stores like Target, TJMAXX and Wal-Mart. I don't see the difference when you're trying to support the little guy.

5. DH eating/drinking the LAST of everything regardless of whether or not I wanted it. Including the Sierra Mist Free I just went to drink!!

Flip flops - I can't stand the sound of people flapping around in flip flops .

Ceiling lights - I can't stand to hang around in someone's living room with the ceiling lights on instead of lamps. Ceiling lights, while useful in certain situations, make rooms ugly and un-cozy.

I have a weird one...I cannot stand the "crowd noise" when my dh is watching a baseball game on tv.

Me neither!! I have only recently realized that the crowd sound is why I hate sports on TV. I asked my husband (who doesn't watch sports but is a sound guy) why they can't block out that sound, and he says they actually mic the crowd so that you CAN hear it .

Seeing chicken bones in the street

I can honestly say I have never had the pleasure of seeing chicken bones in the street....

Where the heck do you live that this is a problem

 

[ktpool]

Oooh Rajah - I have the SAME annoyance. Main reason I leave the TV on during dinner - I cannot STAND to hear anyone chew.

I also leave the TV on at dinner just to drown out the obnoxious chewing noises of my husband! Kid's are pretty quiet still, but I am sure one day they too will annoy me


I HATE when people clip their fingernails in public. One of the guys in my office does it all the time during meetings or when we are just standing around. Ummmmm....does this look like your personal bathroom, for gosh sakes That is SOOOOO disgusting

 

[anewvance]

Count me in as another one who hates the sound of drinking and eating. If someone is chewing ice, OMG I go nuts.. I can't be in the room. My grandfather, bless his heart, is absolutely disgusting to sit at a table with. We have a large family, and I hate to say it but at get togethers, people purposely plan to sit away from him. He flaps his mouth open no matter what he's eating, it's like he loves to show us what's in his mouth. He talks with his mouth full and when he is done, it doesn't matter if he's the only one, he pulls out his klenex and blows his nose!

I also can't stand the sound of people eating on tv, there are 2 commercials right now that I can think of that I have to mute when they come on.. one of them is that cereal commercial, the one with the office worker that the other office worker hates who is eating and can't hear anything over his crunchy cereal eating. The same cereal I think is the guy eating his crunchy cereal and the wife is saying Bear BEAR!

 

[sunlver]

Oh this is a great post. I havent read all the responses yet.
I can not stand to hear people crack their gum. Blowing bubbles doesnt bother me. Its the chew, crack/snap gum, chew crack/snap gum.. You know the ones who do it nonstop...That drives me up the wall.
I also can not stand loud chewing. My husband chews with his mouth closed, but you can still here it. I know he cant help it, but it drives me crazy. I swear I can hear him from the next room.
The other thing, that yes it is gross, is I cant stand when Im in a public restroom, and having to listen to other people do their business... Ok, yes I know we all use the bathroon. BUT... its just gross to me. I get in and out as quick as possible.

 

[Sleepy]

That sound of paper being pulled off a can of biscuits. It's the same to me as what most people experience with nails on a chalkboard.

Ceiling lights - I can't stand to hang around in someone's living room with the ceiling lights on instead of lamps. Ceiling lights, while useful in certain situations, make rooms ugly and un-cozy.

I totally forgot about that one! So glad it's not just me. My family thinks I am nuts because I HATE ceiling lights.

 

[ILUVMYBRIT]

Wow I thought I was just really a crabby person. I can't stand to listen to other people eat...especially my parents. My mom is a slurper and it seriously takes every ounce of my being to not go running from the room when she is drinking her coffee or eating soup. I love corn on the cob, but cant eat it around other people because of all the noise . My dad's big thing has always been loudly exhaling through his noise as he chews. Glad to know I am not the only one who has these strange quirks.

 

[magicmirror]

Ok, since we are all being so honest here , I have more.

A particular personality trait I can't stand is for a person to speak loudly in hopes that a person around her/him will hear what they have to say. Or for a person to be talking to one person and looking at another, again, hoping the person is listening. Bugs me!!

Some words we Southerners just mess up, for ex. quiet, my son's teacher will say "Be Quite". Can't stand it.

One thing I cannot get over is the pop when you open a can of bisquits. I won't open the container unless noone is around to do it for me. I jump everytime, (what am I scared of? I know the little "pop" is coming, still I can't help but jump.) It's rediculous.
