things that annoy you

[disbridemimi]

People yakking in the library, and yakking on their cell phones in the library and TEXTING in the library so I have to hear the alert noise every two seconds and then the beeping as you type.


I cant even use the library anymore, people are so oblivious.

Shop at Target, the number of screaming children and parents drops dramatically.

People who talk during movies & concerts. People who "sing" while at concerts. I'm not paying big bucks to hear you sing off key, out of tune, the wrong words. If I was, you'd be on stage rather than the seat right behind me.

I just had to post this cause it's happening right now and driving me nutty! I share an office with a very nice gal but she talks to herself all day long.....it's pretty distracting. Not a huge deal but just had to vent; there are 3 of us in this office, please be quiet!

Ok, done now.

Facebook had a "top 5 things that annoy me list" and mine were...
1. Bad grammar/spelling
2. Crooked blinds
3. Slow drivers and walkers (I've got a problem, I'll admit it)
4. People chewing on toothpicks
5. Kids with runny noses (By this, I mean the ones who go around with their snotty noses unwiped by moms or dads)
Generally, I am easily annoyed. I could have made a top 25 list. The good thing is, however, that I am not higly annoyed by most things, just slightly irked.

YES, slow walkers. I'm a super-fast walker. Probably because I'm generally high strung, but whatever. I don't stop to smell the roses, I just walk faster so I can smell MORE roses.

What irritates me is either slow walkers who won't let me pass or slow walkers who walk slow because they will not wear sensible shoes. Enjoy your 3 inch heels, but don't make them slow ME down!

(disclaimer...of course I am not referring to disabled or elderly folks. Just had to say that because, otherwise, in 30 seconds someone will give me the beat down for my "slow-walker" comment)

Yes!!!! I understand that "Motorcycles are everywhere". I don't need my own state's Registry of Motor Vehicles to run an ad campaign - using my tax dollars - telling me that motorcycles are everywhere. I even understand that it's difficult to balance a two-wheeled motor vehicle in slow- or non-moving traffic. I do. I really do.

What is needed is motorcycle riders who realize that "motorcycles are everywhere" is NOT a free pass to make up their own lanes; drive on the broken white line; use the breakdown lane because it's empty; zig-zag into any and all open spaces no matter how small...

Some states allow bikers to go down the center between two lanes of traffic, basically going between two cars in side-by-side lanes. The first time a bike went by me like that, it scared me. It just looks like a death waiting to happen.

Recently, bad grammar/pronunciation:

(1) I have a friend that used to say she was "pregnant to" her son, instead of "pregnant with" her son.

(2) Another friend who says things like: They stood at school. Always uses "stood" instead of "stayed".

(3) Same friend who says the "youff" instead of "youth". Drives me INSANE. Almost everything that should be "th" is pronounced "ff", i.e., the toll booff, instead of booth.

I like your thinking...more roses!
And, of course I don't mean disabled or elderly people.

 

[Heidict]

SPEAKER PHONES!!! Ugh. I hate these things. Seriously, they don't make you look important, they just make you look lazy and pompous. Pick up the freakin phone and talk. Do you realize that the person on the other end can't hear what you are saying? Does that fact that I have to say WHAT????? over and over and over again not give you a clue?

I've heard a lot of people down south say they're "pregnant for" their kids. As in, "I craved sweets when I was pregnant for Amy." Makes me nuts.

 

[pooh_bear.614]

I am incredibly annoyed after reading 7 pages of annoying habits haha. But I do have to comment *puts on flame suit* I'm a cashier and customers are INCREDIBLY rude. As we all know the customer is always right *rolls eyes* but you are not entitled to treat cashiers like garbage and expect them to be nice to you. Oh and if you are at the register and it's really slow or really busy no matter how friendly you think you are being its really annoying to hear every person say "oh it's so slow/busy today" as if I haven't been standing there all day. ok im done

Erectile disfunction ads annoy me, but it annoys me even more that they don't have to explain the cure for the 4 hour erection they talk about. If men knew what the cure for this is they would never use E.D. meds again, as it is very painful & most times very well deserved!!!

Ooh - and of course, anyone under 6 at a PG movie... NOT APPROPRIATE! Sorry, but I don't think PREKers and Kers should be watching PG movies. Maybe at home on the DVD, but this was VERY VERY BAD especially at Marley and Me and Inkheart. So many bad words (and even some pretty dirty scenes, for a PG movie) in M&M, and so many cryers in Inkheart. Inkheart had a pretty scary scene with the shadow. It's not for very little kids. Granted, there are some kids who can take it, but most can't.

6) Drivers who are driving slow in the fast lane but as soon as you manage to pass them they speed up and ride your butt or get right in front of you!!!!!!

That is one of mine, or they come flying past you then get right in front of you and then slow way down!

People in line at the bank drive thru that don't have their deposit slips etc. filled out before they get to the teller.

In store self-check lines, people that start ringing their stuff up before I have finished bagging mine so that their stuff is mixed with mine. I always feel like taking it to teach them a lesson but I can't bring myself to do it.

People driving under the speed limit.

Snot nosed kids. I have never been able to tolerate snotty nosed kids, even when I was a kid. Mom says before I could talk, when I saw snot running down another kids face I would point and shriek!

Speaker phones. If your call to me is so unimportant that you cannot expend the energy to pick up and hold the handset, don't bother.

 

[mpls_mm]

I hate, hate, hate when someone (usually a woman) leaves me a message or asks me for a detail and wants me to call her back about something we are selling and then when I call back I get her husband and he is rude and treats me like a telemarketer, she doesn't want anything. I say, she just called me and wanted me to call her back with this info. Yeah, yeah just give me the info and you just know he'll never tell her. I can guarantee she will call back and complain that no one calls her back and we must not want sales, blah, blah, blah.
It happened again today, a woman called me and really wanted something delivered. I told her I'd call her right back, minutes later I get the husband. He says he doesn't know anything about it and she is gone. Fine she just asked for this piece of info, can you tell her? Oh, no, she's gone. Can you give her a message for me? No, I don't know anything about what she does. Great. Sure enough she calls back later, she has been waiting to hear from me. I told her I talked to her husband, she snaps at me, I am out back, he is inside. Oh, right, I made that happen.

Ew. I hate that too! Especially when I had a cousin who was a snot nose and my mom wanted me to kiss his cheek when I left. I hated that as a kid.
I can't stand it when adults have snot noses and sniffing them back in instead of blowing their nose. This happens in class and it makes me want to scream "JUST BLOW YOUR NOSE ALREADY"

5) Parents who scream at their children. Quick story: My daughter (7 at the time) and I were at Walmart and there was this huuuuuuuuuge man pulling his little two year old along and she was crying and saying he was hurting her so he yelled "Shut the F up!!".....

That would be a common thing at Walmart- not exactly the top of the class at that store!

People in line at the bank drive thru that don't have their deposit slips etc. filled out before they get to the teller.

That one just happened to me yesterday. I got in a lane with only one car ahead of me, thinking that I'd get out of there fast. But the guy had to sit there for five minutes getting all of his paperwork ready. And for people who say, "You can't even wait five minutes?!" That's right, I can't. That's why I'm at the drive thru, so I can deposit my check and get out of there fast. If you don't have your paperwork ready, pull into a parking space and finish it before you get into the drive thru lane.
