Little things people do that annoy you...

[Longgrain]

I'm like body mannerisms, vocal utterances...thing you wish someone wouldn't do, but you can't tell the person to stop doing them...

For example, I have to drive my brother into work every morning. It's thirty miles on the highway and I usually encounter a number of quick stops. It's just anytime time I need to slow down, I can see him through the corner of my eye, sitting in the passenger seat, slamming his leg down as if he's hitting the brake. I know it's an automatic reaction on his part, but it bugs me. I want to tell him "I'm the one driving here. I take care of the brake petal"...

End of rant.

Is there anything like that that people do that bug the hell out of you.

[Worst Username Ever]

1. Mouth breathing n/t

[HawkerHurricane]

17. Breathing, period.

Some people bother me just because they're alive.

[Worst Username Ever]

20. Seconded

[rockedthevoteinMA]

71. Yes...that drives me crazy too!

[nytemare]

40. I hate when people have whistley noses and nose breath

I just want to tell them, "Just open your mouth a tad and fucking breathe through that, no one wants to hear the Bb sinus scale every time you fucking breathe!"

[donheld]

77. If i didn't breath through my mouth

I'd die would that be better for you? :shrug:

[Worst Username Ever]

83. Sounds like you're gonna want to get that checked n/t

[davidinalameda]

2. expect me to work when I'm at work

the nerve of some people

[skygazer]

3. The use of the word "like" to denote conversation

"So I was like, what do you think I am? And he was like, you're a damn fool. So I was like, who the hell are you calling a fool?"

I will admit that I've been guilty of this but it only slips out occasionally. There is a girl at work who uses it constantly and it really drives me batty.

[marzipanni]

18. LOL... she was "all", he was "all" is another one

.

[tammywammy]

69. Oh, I hate that.

"she was like" no, either she was or wasn't.
My bestfriend hates it when people add a S on the end of words, such as Ticketmasters, no it's Ticketmaster. They're not making it a possessive either, just adding an extra s.

[AlCzervik]

4. Thats funny, my husband does the same fing thing when i'm driving

only he's really animated about it....."Hon, having trouble driving today?" "You can use your brakes you know, you don't always have to down shift" "Should you be operating large equiptment today?"

[johnnie]

5. I slam on invisible brakes

I guess it might piss people off, but I don't trust how people drive..lol.
Sorry.

[Longgrain]

9. It doesn't piss me of it's just annoying...

Though I agree, it does seem to come across as a commentary on my driving abillity...

[marzipanni]

14. Air braking?n/t

[1gobluedem]

15. Buy a ton of things without trying them on and then returning most of them

Like the person in line in front of me today who dumped out a full shopping bag, produced a receipt about three feet long to return it all, then changed his mind on some of the stuff during the process.

I wanted to wring his neck. Try it on at the store!

[HEyHEY]

6. Defraud an entire nation to become it's president

[GOPisEvil]

7. Yeah, that's been quite annoying.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. Oh my god, annoying to say the least!

Some days I think I'll need to increase my BP medication just to handle the stress induced by this "annoyance." AAARRRGGGH!

:puke:

[Left Is Write]

75. I'd agree with you, but

it's hardly a "little" thing or a mere "annoyance."

:P

[jswordy]

8. They start sentences with "Little."

OH that PISSES ME OFF!

:mad:

LOL!!!!

[Longgrain]

12. Moi, annoy anyone...

Only my truest of friends...

[jswordy]

13. ;-) Hadda do it, just hadda!

:evilgrin:

[BlueJazz]

10. I know this is silly but it seems like everytime I go to an ATM to...

...draw out some money, the person in front of me was born about a half hour ago and was programmed to stand in front of that ATM and run his card through it 27 times, forget his pin number, have the wrong card, see a bird fly by and have to study it for awhile...

ARRRGGG!

[RagingInMiami]

66. haven't you heard

people in florida are just plain dumb

[MuseRider]

11. My grandmother

actually put a hole in the bottom of the floor of the car breaking for my grandfather. Of course she would start breaking 2 blocks away and he would not break until he was half way through the intersection. "My, look Roy! See that pretty light up there? I think that RED is a pretty color." LOL

[candle_bright]

16. Nose-picking

That's up there near the very top. Just the other day I was in line at the supermarket behind a man who pulled a whopper out of his nose, and I could see it on his finger. :puke:

[LiberallyInclined]

19. People in front of me who use the ATM to refinance their mortgage

when i just want to get 20 bucks so i can go buy some lunch.

[Skittles]

68. OMG

the ones who drive up and then LOOK FOR THEIR CARD. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[terrya]

21. Deleted post

[Lavender Brown]

26. Why do you always do that?!

:spank:

[terrya]

34. It's simply a case of hitting the "enter" button before thinking.

I want to try to put my best foot forward, so to speak. Nothing more than that. :-)

[ScreamingMeemie]

23. People who stick their tongues out when they're eating with a fork.

Gross.

That and my mother chews her lip...to the max. Not just a nibble, but ripping the skin even. It irritates the hell out of me.

[Sugar Smack]

38. Also-

If you're on the phone with me and you want to eat Doritos /carrots /Grape Nuts/pop rocks, or if instead, you need to brush your teeth/ urinate/ defacate/ vacuum, please let me know you'll call me back instead of subjecting me to it!!!

Love, Miss Manners!:)

[WindRavenX]

24. the Collector at my school who acts...

...in such bewilderment when I explain my parents can't afford the entire 40,000/yr without financial aid :eyes: :eyes:
I fuckign hate these lowlifes. And THEN they chirp away about how the place is affordable for everyone...fuck...
If I had known this would have happened, I would've moved to MA and gone to a cheaper school because this is fucking ridiculous and the attitude I get from these fucks is insulting.

[Longgrain]

25. Hey WRX no real reasons, but didn't you tell me the other night...

That someone was turning 20 today...

Or was that Thursday?

[WindRavenX]

27. close- tomorrow

:evilgrin:

[Longgrain]

29. Gotcha!

;-)

[JohnKleeb]

30. cool congrads

[JohnKleeb]

28. If someone was turning 20 today

Dont you think hedgesyawker would have mentioned it?

[Maine-ah]

31. my boss always says nasty remarks under her breath, just

low engough that you know she's saying something nasty, but you can't hear all of it. :mad:

[animuscitizen]

32. People who buy oodles of scratch off lottery tickets...

They are always holding up the line in the convenience stores.

[mtnester]

33. Come to my desk while the network is crashing because someone

was looking for gamecheats and answered YES, look at my desk which is piled 6 inches deep, 5 phone lines are ringing, someone is in the lobby bleeding, and then they ask me..."Are you busy?"

YES I AM SO BUSY I WOULD LIKE TO KILL SOMEONE!!! WHAT DO YOU WANT?

Their answer..."Can I get a stamp?"


This happens to me everyday, or some form of it. You would think that my "glare" I have developed with these folks over the past 13 years would work by now...oh wait, never mind...I work with all men...what was I thinking?

[Sugar Smack]

35. Total strangers who invade my personal space

drive me crazy!!! I would enjoy grocery shopping so much more if I could stand in line and not worry about being assrammed. People who have no idea where their body ends and the rest of the world begins, who walk right into you because they simply don't look where they're going. People who feel like they HAVE to comment on what I'm eating for lunch. People who are rude to anyone working in food service or retail just because they have a little purchasing power.

When someone asks me a question and interrupts my answer with, "The reason I'm asking is-" and then goes on some insufferable and long-winded personal story, that annoys me.

When someone I'm talking with, sitting down, starts joggling his leg up and down- I have to stop talking and say, "Settle down there, Thumper"-my boss, specifically. (Once I responded to this by putting both my hands on his knee and bearing down with my full weight. I'm lucky he's cool-he laughed).

:D

[Runcible Spoon]

36. my brother in law chews a million miles an hour

it's fucking annoying! He'll put food in his mouth and his jaw starts chewing at this furious speed....

[DarienComp]

37. i don't like it when

people pronounce the word coupon "cue-pon".

[_TJ_]

39. picking their noses when they drive

You're not invisible ASSHOLE!!

[Swede]

73. Ewww.

That's one of them all right.

[fleabert]

41. mouth noises, esp. when eating. Shut your trap!

online: hiding profiles, gimme something to go on please! even if it's fake...why hide it?

[B Calm]

42. Tailgating

[Blue Gardener]

43. Clipping fingernails at the office

The woman in the next office next to mine does this at least a couple of times a week. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click.
Can't she do that at home? And where do all the nail clippings wind up?
I guess I should be glad she doesn't do her toenails as well.

[nytemare]

44. Passive-aggressive sighers

"Sigh" Please pay attention to me. "Sigh" I can't just come out and say what is bothering me, so please take interest and ask me what is bothering me before I sigh again due to your lack of interest in my sighing.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!

[UncleSepp]

46. I can't stand that!

I know someone who actually does that passive aggressive sigh thing and it drove me nuts once I figured out what it was. I assumed that the girl who did it was another person like me who will stop breathing for a little while, like while paying very close attention to something, then take a huge deep breath later on. Once I offered her some allergy medicine to help with that heavy breathing... you can guess how that went over :-D

[nytemare]

48. I can tell if it is passive-aggressive, or breathing problems by

how they act when there is no one around them. If they sigh as soon as you walk in the room or only when people are around them, it is an attention thing. At least that is true of the passive aggressives that I know!

:)

[Sugar Smack]

57. I have to admit

that when Al Gore did that, it was CHARMING!!!!!!!! I was right there, sighing along with him. C'mon, weren't you???


:P

[nytemare]

59. He did a sarcastic sigh

Like "why do I have to listen to this bullshit" sigh.

Actually, I think that hurt him on the debates. It gave him a sort of uppity image, even though on the issues I thought he won hands down.

[Left Is Write]

76. *sigh*

[B Calm]

45. Driving along side slowly while passing you, when all they have to do

is give their vehicle a little gas and safely get around you. This is extremely dangerous while passing an 18 wheeler.

[nytemare]

52. Why don't people stay out of the no-zone!!

They should pass trucks quickly to get clear. I hate when I am behind a car on a multi-lane highway and the driver just likes to linger around the truck when there are no cars in front of him. Just accelerate, and pass the truck, or accelerate and stay in the same lane! Whatever you choose, accelerate!!!

[B Calm]

47. Dysfunctional workplaces with control freak bosses!

[Merrick]

49. People who stop short of the red light

or the car in front of them waiting at the red light, then proceed to inch closer by increments so everyone else has to release and reapply their brakes five times to fill the gaps.

[LizW]

50. Or drive s-l-o-o-o-w-l-y up to a green light and just as it turns yellow

they roll through, so it's red when you get there and you have to stop.

Where I live, they have perfected this to an art form. I swear it happens to me three or four times a day.

[nytemare]

53. Yep, or stop short of the sensor for the light

so the light doesn't change for whoever is in that lane.

[Nay]

62. Merrick, this drives me INSANE. I want to KILL people who do this.

WTF is that all about?? Can anyone tell me??

[blackcatpgh]

78. thank you

if you're driving a stick shift in city traffic and someone pulls this horseshit, you end up using your clutch over & over to close the gap that they keep creating. lately, i just let them inch closer and closer, and i stay put. they're not paying for my clutch replacement, so why the fuck should i care about closing the gap (yeah, i'm a bastard).

if people were forced to learn to drive on a manual transmission, i doubt they would pull this shit. it's the laziness of automatic transmissions that makes some (and i said SOME) people drive this way.

[Merrick]

51. People who take their time driving through backed up intersections

You're waiting five minutes to get through some backed up light when one of the guys in front of you either falls asleep and takes 10 extra seconds to respond to the green or crawls through it at 10mph preventing another 2 or 3 cars who could've gotten through from doing so. I often think how mad this makes me while I'm waiting at such lights... only to be shaken from my detached state by a cacophony of car horns behind me to see the light's turned green. (robbing the late Bill Hicks here, but that's okay)

[Merrick]

54. Perky people

Drop dead.

[Dastard Stepchild]

55. People who talk with their hands poised like this...

in front of their bodies. Is generally accompanied by verbal show of "intelligence."



Gets me huffy every single time, but I can't for the life of me explain why.

[bridgit]

56. tweaky fucked up people...

who never open their blinds in the daytime

[ScreamingMeemie]

72. I never open my blinds in the daytime. Our picture window is too damned

big. And a I am neither tweaky nor fucked up. :hi:

[newsguyatl]

58. i hate when folks

hit their teeth with their fork when eating... arghh..

[MidwestMomma]

79. How about when they scrape their plate with their fork while eating

Makes me cringe...

[JohnKleeb]

60. making dumb mistakes duh

[zanne]

61. People with "call waiting"...

I expect to be put on hold when I call my insurance company, but when I'm talking to a friend or relative and they say "Hold on a minute--there's somebody on call waiting", I want to scream at them. I make it a habit to tell everyone who wants to be this annoying to please not put me on hold because they're not the goddamn DMV, for Christ's sake! I'm really, really going to start hanging up on people when they put me on hold.

[murphymom]

63. Couples who say "We're pregnant"

Oh, really - taking turns carrying the foetus, are you?

Nice to make the expectant dad feel part of the process, but she's pregnant, not him.

Grrrr...

[RustNeverSleeps]

80. I agree, plus...

Just announcing a pregnancy to non-relatives as though it was the second coming of Christ. I mean give me a break. Look around, a lot of other people have done this.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

64. several things

I'm not going to list all of them, but the one thing i've been really annoyed with lately is when people repeatedly "fish for compliments". it drives me crazy.

[qnr]

65. Two things: People that say "whenever" instead of "when"

"Whenever I was a little kid, I did so-and-so."

And "That's not bad!"

A made up example:

You're telling someone about an earthquake in Nicaragua that killed 2,300 people, and they say:

"That's not bad, there was one in Albania six weeks ago that killed 5,000!"

Granted, 5,000 is worse than 2,300, but that doesn't make 2,300 "not bad"

[Left Is Write]

74. I have to admit that "whenever" thing gets me too.

[Hamcracker]

67. Post on Free Republic

[Hans Delbrook]

70. People who ask you "How was your w/e" when they just want to tell you..

about theirs. Just go ahead and tell me - don't fake interest in my life to brag about yours.

[legally blonde]

81. People who breathe with their mouth open

while eating, people who talk on their cell phones in the library (this is just rude), people who stand in front of elevators and don't move out of the way for people on the elevator to get off, people who block narrow hallways and don't seem to notice that 50 people have to get by to go to class, . . . okay, I think that's it.
Come to think of it, I have to deal with these every day at school b/c law students are either completely clueless or completely rude. Either way, it pisses me off. :hurts:

[SamanthaJones]

82. Men who finish too quickly

if you catch my drift. ;)
