Noise. Especially loud music.

1000+ - I cannot stand noise: I used to be able to tolerate it much better. Three pet peeves:

1. Ear deafening lawn blowers constantly used by lawn services every week at every house near me - back neighbors, side neighbors, across the street. My windows are shut tight and I still can't carry on a phone conversation or watch TV.

2. Illegally loud motorcycles and tricked out toy cars roaring by at all hours of the day and night. My blood pressure literally skyrockets - it's that disruptive to me. Our neighborhood used to be fairly quiet and peaceful, but the past 10 years, it's really deteriorated. Seems people aren't happy unless they can make a lot of noise and both cities and police refuse to even come out unless I can catch the violator while they're roaring by and somehow generate proof they are exceeding allowable levels.

3. Fireworks for every darn holiday - I don't mind them for Independence Day or New Year's Eve, but Memorial Day - REALLY? that's a solemn grieving holiday - it's completely inappropriate. Christmas night, easter- really? Why does every holiday need this racket?

Thank you for the chance to rant. Anyone know a quieter culture than the U.S.? I may just have to move there.

cold weather

I'm the opposite - born and raised Floridan - I am so sick of heat and palm trees. lol. I keep winter scenes on all my screen savers and dream of the day I can travel to somewhere cooler.

 

[TiggerTrigger]

Cigarette smoke

Walking in heels and wearing pantyhose!

I hated tights and pantyhose when I was younger, too. The only change is that now my mom can't make me wear them, so I don't.

 

[NannyBeBe]

High humidity.

 

[SpaceMan5]

Traffic and dumb people

 

[Lord Manhammer]

toddlers.

 

[MrsPete]

cold weather

Oh, yes. We had our first taste of cold this past week -- not even terrible cold -- and it made me remember just how much I hate-hate-hate cold!

Walking in heels and wearing pantyhose!

Yes, I could walk in heels all day when I was younger. That was nice, especially as I'm only 4'11".

 

[GoingSince1990]

Staying up all night.

 

[aprilgail]

smokers and screaming kids.

 

[Praying Colonel]

Little to no sleep. I can go with less than 6 hours for 1, maybe 2 days, then after that I'm a wreck.

Same here. Life-long Louisianan, I've never gotten used to it at all. And this past summer was tough.

 

[Lumpy1106]

Aggressive drivers. I am far more courteous as I get older and get really annoyed when others aren't.

I'd say smoking too but I couldn't tolerate it when I was younger either.

Staying up all night.

I was about to say staying up past midnight! Went to a birthday party at a high end steakhouse with tons of delicious food (I didn’t even touch my steak, asparagus, or any sides), but it started at 8 (half hour away) and food was started to be served closer to 9, left right before midnight before the cake was served. Friends wanted to Uber, I chose to be the DD because drinking would’ve made it worse.
