Do you have any strange annoyances?

[Evil Queen]

Sort of related, but not really.

Equally as bad as fingers on a chalkboard? Someone scraping their fork/knife/spoon against their teeth when they're eating. I hate that metal-on-teeth sound. Gives me chills just thinking about it!

Me too!! Just reading the post gave me chills, and the worse part DS23 knows it and out of the blue he'll do it to annoy me!!

Using a public restroom and toilet not flushed, I can barely keep my cookies down!!

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!

Oh, you just reminded me of another. I hate on tv or print ads (got milk?) when they show food on peoples' faces. It makes me gag.

 

[rhanditresmom]

My DH eats cereal louder than anyone I know. And he really complains when I eat chips! So, I guess we're even!!!

I personally cannot stand to have someone lightly touch my arms. It almost hurts! Weird.....

 

[BeNJeNWaFFLe]

For good measure, he snorts everything in his nose back and then starts hacking because he swallows it all. Yeah, gross, I know....try listening to it for hours on end even though you have Eminem on your iPod so loud you're afraid of becoming a news story about people made deaf by iPods.

Oh ew. One guy two cubes over from me does this all day long. It is the most disgusting thing ever. Drives me insane. I feel like just leaving a box of Advil Cold and Sinus on his desk.

Another one, is constant coughing. Two men in cubes behind me cough constantly all day long, every day. Now, they aren't normal coughs. One has this chest rattling, huge cough. Really gross. The other has a strange method. Cough mouth open, closed, open, closed. Ok. Then again, open, closed, open, closed. And just as typing this, he did it twice. Ugh. Even with headphones, its hard to ignore.

The one sound I HATE, is the sound of wet, squeaky shoes. It really hurts my ears. I know you can't always help it, but my ears can't stand it.

Okay, just realized another one for me...
I opened up the tub of butter, and there they were...crumbs from toast left in the butter. How gross is that???????????? I know, it probably isn't a huge thing in the grand scheme of life, but I do like to keep my butter clean!
Great thread... I know there have to be more annoying things in life...

 

[J.C.&ALI'SMOM]

I can so relate to the sound of eating driving someone crazy Gross!

I also dislike the sound of stirring macaroni and cheese. I know, weird

It bugs me when folks use certain words too. Like ressie, preggers/preggo, meltdown (reminds me of a nuclear plant, call it what it is - a tantrum, a fit,whatever)

Also when people write that they didn't like the deluxe resorts "food court". Deluxe resorts don't have "food courts". That would be an area with different counters/different foods offered. They just have a quick service/grill kind of place.

 

[AllyandJack]

I have to add one about my DH. Windshield wipers. If it's pouring rain, he won't turn them on, he'll just give them the quick flick to clean off the windshield. Then, he'll finally relent and turn them fully on (when I mention that I can't see and question how he can see)....just as the rain is slowing/stopping. Then, he'll leave them on and I have to listen to the scraping of the wipers against the window. It drives me CRAZY. I close my eyes, but I can still hear the "squeak, squeak" of the wipers. I open my eyes and all I see are streaks across the windshield because all he's doing is spreading dirt. Then, he washes the windshield because he's smeared dirt all over them by leaving the wipers on when it's bone dry. Finally, I can't take anymore of the squeaking and I yell, "Turn off the bleeping wipers!!" This starts the vicious circle because he blames me when he refuses to turn them on in the first place.

 

[cstraub]

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

What's the deal with all the chicken bone stuff tonight? I feel like I'm in the twilight zone!

 

[MAKmom]

I don't like when my family wants to talk to me when I'm on the Diz.

 

[mickeymousemom]

I have a few more.

As much as I love some of Rachael Ray's shows....I am so tired of hearing "EVOO", "Sammies", etc...this drives me NUTS! Just call it what it is!

I hate when someone close to me burps and I can smell it...So GROSS! This grosses me out more than someone passing gas close to me...and its worse when the person who does it looks dirty.

As far as windshield wipers, my DH leaves them on after it stops raining. I have to ask him everytime to turn them off.

I hate it when people park really close to one side of the parking place. The tire is darn near ON the yellow line, while there is still several feet between the other side and the yellow line.

I also hate the POP of the can of biscuits. Scares the bejeezus outta me. I am proud though, that I have graduated from having someone else open the can for me.

I hate it when someone is talking to you and they get that white stuff in the corners of their mouth and/or they get a string of saliva between their top and bottom lip.

I hate dirty fingernails

and again....

My mother in law.

 

[Pooh's Pixie]

I really must be the most annoyed person in the world, because ALL of the above things annoy the crap out of me. However, there are some WORDS that people use in everyday talking that just make me have spasms!
Here's part of my list:
-scrumptious, portion, veggies, flavor, PANTIES...

When my family really wants to get on my last nerve, they say something like, "Oh, this is scrumptious, can I have another portion of those full of flavor veggies!" and somehow they always throw in the word panties for good measure!!! I am weird, I know.

I had to stop when I read this post: For me, it's chilly belly


EEEEEEEEEWWW I get the heebie jeebies from someone saying "chilly belly"

 

[Pooh's Pixie]

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 hate this too. I require a bowl for a bag of chips...it's not so hard to just dump it in a bowl and then I don't have to listen to the bag!! Short of this, I will often just cut the top half of the bag off so that it is more "open" and digging is not required..maybe that's weird, but it works!

 

[JoBird]

Everyone be careful what you write! The Tag Fairy LOVES this thread! Okay, now on to more annoying things...

How about when you are at the movie theater and the creep next to you is shoveling popcorn in with a back-hoe? And it's all falling out of his mouth because he's chewing with his mouth open??????!!!!! Gross!
Okay, how about people who take a bite of food and immediately take a drink of something while they're still chewing? EEEWWWWW! Isn't there a law or something against this? If there isn't I'd really like to lobby congress for one...

 

[TDC Nala]

There are certain words and phrases that annoy the heck out of me and I will not use them.

I agree that fully half of them are regularly used by Rachael Ray.

 

[Ranatra]

People that snap their gum!!! Ugh!

 

[LindsayDunn228]

Hearing people eat popcorn. GRRRRRRRR!

 

[jsbjeb]

Both watching and hearing someone finish a popsicle that has a wooden stick in it! The thought of the wooden stick between their teeth gives me chills!!!!

 

[lisajl]

This one is gross. I can't stand to listen to other people blow their nose. EEEEWWWWW!!!

I;m with you on this one! I especially can't stand it if we are at a restaurant!
It never ceases to amaze me. People turn away from their table, aim their face in OUR direction and blow their nose. It's terrible, but after that, I can't finish my meal.
Makes me INSANE!!
Take it in the bathroom or outside!!!

Thank you...this ends my Public Service Announcement!

I don't like the sound of keyboard typing on TV. Not sure why since it doesn't bother me when I sit here and type!

 

[daviedude]

Nothing annoys me more than chewing with your mouth open like a cow and stiring your tea for ike 2 minutes while clanking the spoon against the side of the cup , I could kill someone for doing that LOL
