Anyone crunching anything (especially ice!) live or on tv.
My husband’s whistling.
Snoring.
Fitted sheets, for God’s sake! Tell me how to fold one!
I probably shouldn’t be, but I’m annoyed by those Christian Children’s Fund ads where at the end the guy says something like “When you look into her eyes, you’ll know what to do.”
YES! Me too.
Fitted sheets:
First, fold the flat sheet.
Then, moosh the fitted sheet together until it is as flat as you can get it.
Then, slide both the flat and fitted sheet into the pillowcase. (If there are two pillowcases, put the extra one in, also.)
Store the filled pillowcase on the shelf. Now it is easy to find your entire sheet set when it is time, and you don’t have to screw around with folding the #*$% fitted sheet.
Three types of people I hate at the cinema.
People talking at movies, especially to mock the actors or the scenes. ‘She looks so ugly’ Or stating the obvious in hushed whispers ‘They’re going to have sex!’
Second: The person who don’t get what is going on and kept asking about the plot and need a refresher on the plot every 5 minutes. This happened once when watching a Harry Potter movie. The girlfriend kept asking the boyfriend ‘why is he doing this?’ ‘what’s going on?’ ‘who is that fellow again?’
Third: Spoilers. People who spoil the plot. If a friend do that in advance, it is bad enough. But I cannot fathom doing it while watching the show. Same group of couple as #2, except the BF will tell the GF what to watch out next, what is going to happen, loudly. I got fed up and turned around and told him that some of us had not read the book.
Bonus! Number 4. People who continue any of the above behavior after politely asked to stop.
Those Walmart commercials with the aggravating bitch who babbles about her saving $$ because she brown-bags lunch, never goes to a drive through and eats cereal are making me want to kick some faces in. It’s making me want to go to Target and not Walmart.
The word Fashonista is working my last nerve.
Who the fuck is Stacy London and why is she in a new commercial every 30 seconds? GO AWAY!
Always for that “happy period” bullshit as well as that irritating cow for Tampax and her “monthly gift”… Damn you all and your condescending patronizing shitty ads. I buy KOTEX because i haven’t seen any stupid commercials from them!
Jon and Kate Gosselin for selling their life to TLC, for being generally douchey, for airing their dirty laundry in public, for Jon whining about a lack of privacy on Headline News, Kate for that ridiculous hairstyle, both of them for doing stupid things with money. Fuck you for wasting oxygen and carbon.
The Duggars for their 20th pregnancy, and also for having a tv show. Christian or whatever, nobody needs that many children.
I think I’ve read all the posts so I’m sorry if somebody said this and I missed it -
I HATE it when people say: Everything happens for a reason.
With so many reality shows and so many people making candid comments on TV these days, etc., I hear this a lot. I am stunned that so many people seem to believe this. It just makes me crazy. I want to punch them in the throat.
But everything does happen for a reason. If it didn’t, it would be happening for some other reason.
That’s true, but that’s not what these people mean. What these people mean is some variation of this: I got voted off Survivor because God/The Universe/Whatever has other plans for me AND they’re BETTER!
We’ve sunk to the lower levels of hell already if we have to start prefacing museums as “science-based” before people understand 
But I’m surprised people actually spam your inbox with chick tracts. :eek:
I’ll add another:
I used to work at a fast food place in Disneyland. Even with a dozen registers open, during lunch hour in summer the line is still 6 or 7 deep and, if you’re lucky, a wait of 15 minutes. It bugs the shit out of me when people, who have been standing in line for 15 fucking minutes, get up to the front of the line and THEN look up and try to decide what they want!
Dumbshit: “Uh…let’s see, ummm, I want a…cheese…no, double cheese burger…”
Me: “Is that the meal or the burger by itself?”
DS: “I guess I’ll get the meal”
Me: “Ok, would you like a drink with that?”
DS: “You mean the drink doesn’t come with it?”
Me: "No (you retarded dipshit), it says so on the menu (that you SHOULD have been looking at for the past fifteen fucking minutes!!!)
DS: “Well how much is a drink?”
Me: “$2.86”
DS: “Wow, that’s expensive”
Me: “Well it’s Disney (and I don’t set the prices so back the fuck off)”
DS: “Is that a small size?”
Me: “Sorry, this is the only size”
DS: “What about that size over there?”
Me: “That’s the kids size, it only comes with a kids meal and you can’t buy it separately”
DS: “Oh, well can I get some water then?”
Me: “Sure, it’s $2.86 for a bottled”
DS: “Do you have just a cup of water?”
Me: “(look dickwad, you paid something like $70 to get in, and another $63 for each of your dumb shit kids to get in, and now you’re quibbling over a cup of water? In the middle of summer? Turn the fuck around, there’s 10 people behind you, just get your god damn food and get the fuck out of my face!!!) I can give you a cup and there’s a water fountain on the side”
DS: “Oh alright then. Your water’s really expensive”
Me: “Fuck you too ma’am (oh shit did I say that out loud?)”
It’s also annoying as all hell to be the person behind that person in line! I mean, I’ve worked customer service, so I know what it’s like. But hey, at least you’re getting paid to be there! I, OTOH, am missing spending that 15 minutes standing in line for a roller coaster. . .:smack:
Well, the museum does have “science” in its name, which would imply that it’s focused more SPECIFICALLY on science, rather than, say, natural history.
Also, it’s not my inbox. I’m on the floor staff, answering questions and talking about the exhibit, so people just walk up and hand them to me. My coworkers have also reported being approached and asked if they have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. :dubious:
it pisses me off to quite a degree when they do the tease for TV news. “Will it rain tomorrow? we’ll let you know at 11:00.” Fuck you, you could have told me whether it will rain or not in the same amount of time. I know you’re trying to get me to watch, but I really just want to know if it’s going to rain or not, and I don’t care enough to watch your stupid news program. If I really want to know, I’ll check the internet. They do it with hard news too. Just tell me the bottom line, and–if you must–tease me with details so I’ll watch your show.
“The Mariners game was a nail biter, find out who won at in 15 minutes.” go to hell.
As I was reinstalling software all night tonight after upgrading to Windows 7, I was reminded of a couple of things that piss me right the fuck off.
First: installers that try to sneak some other program in. For instance, Acrobat Reader - there’s an “option”, already checked, to install McAfee along with it. If I wasn’t paying attention and just kept clicking next to get the reader installed, I’d have wound up with that piece of shit on my system.
Second, and this is the one that really, really, really PISSES ME OFF!: Why, oh why, does every single software publisher think they need to put some useless program in resident memory when their software is installed?
No thanks, Adobe, there is no reason to have your little “fast open” program (or whatever it is) installed for Acrobat Reader. Nor is there any need for your “file organizer” for Photoshop. Believe it or not, I know where I keep my files.
No, Creative Labs, I don’t need your updater eating up my memory - if I want to update your crap I’ll look for it myself. If I even keep your crap around, that is. And thanks, by the way, for feeling free to install your software without asking me first.
No, NVidia, I do not, in fact, need your control panel ready to go on a moment’s notice. This last one, actually, is one of the reasons I went with an ATI card a couple of months ago. I got sick of Nvidia sneaking their stupid control panel program into my startup list every time I upgraded my video driver.
Gawd. I guess it’s not really a big deal, it’s just a matter of going into msconfig and disabling these things, but dammit, I shouldn’t have to do that.
Yep, share you sentiments. Some people do turn fast food into slow food. Another one: adding to an order at the very last minute. Usually the cashier would take your order, and would grab the items in one pass. Adding something at the last minute just waste more time!
Anybody who insists on being referred to as an <insert> American. Fuck me. Ok, if you’re a Korean American, I’m a Polish-Lithuanian-Irish American goddammit. Just fucking stop it. Also if you take offense to this opinion, you can also fuck off. 
That’s better than “And, in sport, a stunning victory for Liverpool. If you don’t want to know the score, look away now.” :smack:
What I hate worse is: They’ll announce an upcoming story, to be aired “after the break” . . . followed by “You don’t want to miss it.”
Oh really? You know me that well, that you know what I do or don’t want to miss? That’s when I change the channel. Take that!
My husband is going to get shot. Why, Jebus, why would he leave two drops of laundry detergent in the closet? He can feel the bottle, he can tell it’s almost empty. When he did laundry last, why did it never occur to him to go pick up some more? We live one block from a CVS. One!
All you have to do is put some water in there and swish it around. You can get another few loads out of it!
