People who …
[ul]
[li] have bad breath.[/li][li] stand too close to me.[/li][li] play rap music really loud in their cars (rock music is good to play loud, though).[/li][li] drive under the speed limit.[/li][li] make obvious spelling mistakes.[/li][li] take cell phone calls when talking to me and making me wait for them to have a full conversation with the person who just called.[/li][li]have call-waiting and do the same thing as the people with cell phones.[/li][li] drive cars with poor emissions and I get stuck behind them.[/li][li] expect me to have a favorite team, when in fact I don’t even like most sports.[/li][/ul]
I have many more. I’ll leave it to everyone else to come up with them for me.
Wait a minute here, store-clerk-slacker. People who flip their hair annoy you, so you slap them with your own hair?
I hope you’re exaggerating to make a point…geez! I said I hated when people tell me jokes, but I still listen to be polite. Why can’t you just look away? Or get over it?
And I have to say that if I were to run my fingers through my hair a few times, or even flip it, and you were at a nearby table and decided to fling your hair at me til it hits me as “punishment” for being in your line of view and daring to touch my own hair…
Wow. I’d kick your ass!
[sub]Oh, and you owe me a new drink because your hair’s in my current one. Gross![/sub]
I would have to say that people in general are my pet peeve. Not acquaintances, friends, family or fellow Chiefs fans, but just random, general people. They are always doing things like:
not using turn signals
taking a full cart of items into the express checkout lane
• The standard written mistakes that piss most of us off, such as there/their/they’re, your/you’re, could of/would of/should of etc.
• Spit things, as mentioned above. Getting your saliva on something and not washing that thing (including your hands) is just gross. (And don’t people realize that dried saliva has an odor?)
• Being a guest somewhere and their phone rings and they talk for 15 minutes while you stand around waiting. [If it were something important that would be different.]
• insincerity. Being fakey/smarmy nice is way more annoying than just being indifferent or even slightly bitchy. It really is.
• aggressive drivers–tailgating, ducking and weaving through traffic, etc.
• Not blowing your nose or coughing up something when you need to. I don’t want to hear it all rolling around in there! Excuse yourself and take care of it!
• People who don’t wash their hands after doing something yucky.
• those really, really, really baggy pants.
• seeing someone fold their ear forward. This will literally almost make me throw up. My ears are very rigid and the thought of them going forward causes me the kind of pain that I can assume guys feel when they see someone get kicked in the nuts.
• gigantic zits. Now if you have a serious acne problem, that’s one thing. But if you’ve only got a few at a time, and they’re so big and full that they’re on the verge of just spontaneously popping and spurting forth of their own volition then it’s really time to just squeeze the little mofo. If it’s quivering like a jell-o mold, it’s time to deal with it. Same goes for blackheads. If I could grab the thing out with chopsticks, then it is time to clear that puppy out.
[ul]
[li]People who eat with their mouth open/smack their food[/li][li]Like OpalCat mentioned, those who can’t distinguish between “you’re” and “your” and “their,” “they’re” and “there.”[/li][li]People who use debit or credit cards in supermarkets when they’re buying like, five items.[/li][li]When people who’re bad at lying lie[/li][li]Those OMFGLOL!!~!! teen speak[/li][li]Yelling into cellphones[/li][li]Those who blow cigarette smoke in my direction[/li][/ul]
That’s just a shortlist. Loads of things annoy me.
Regarding the debit or credit card for five things thing, I don’t have a problem with that these days. I think that it can be faster than cash if done right.
What I hate so much is when people visit me, ask me to use the phone and then have a long conversation on said phone while a guest at my house. That was more common when I was younger and my friends were all boy/man crazy. Now they are married and happy not to have to talk to their husbands for a change.
People who chew and smack gum - especially when they’re on the phone.
People who won’t get to the point - especially when they’re on the phone.
People who marinate in cologne or perfume - especially when they’re in the office right next to my desk and its so obnoxious right now I’m getting sick to my stomach and developing a headache.
People who wear a lot of perfume/cologne. There is a guy on the bus every morning that bathes in it. Ditto for a co-worker. It makes me sneeze.
People who block cross-walks. There is nothing more annoying than people who stop in an intersection while I’m trying to cross the road. It seriously makes me want to open their back seat door, crawl through and out the other side.
For me it’s people who don’t show up when they say they will and fail to call. Yes, things pop up but take thirty seconds to let me know I can stop waiting by the door with my shoes and coat on.
GRRR
Oh, and Opal’s bit reminded me of those annoying deep painfull zits that never come to a head and just turn into scabs if you try and squeeze em.
Double GRRR
And for nostagias’ sake, Hi Opal!
I failed to mention that ** I was the one who was first flung in the eye with hair ** and no its not an exaggeration. I did it right back to them until they stopped flinging theirs at me. Nothing hurts worse then hair thats loaded with gel or styling spray right in your eye at lightening speed. If it was just a case of they are in my view, then yes I just wouldn’t look, but when it’s someone sitting direclty behind me in a crowded bar and there are no more seats taken, and the rest of your friends don’t want to sit in the “flingers” zone, you take matters into your own hands. And no, asking politely to stop flinging their hair in my direction hasn’t worked. I was actually told by one woman that I was just jealous that her hair was longer then mine and to deal with it. Sorry but I’m not dealing with it, just like you wouldn’t if I was doing it to just be a bitch. So I fling it back…
Hands you another drink, and I do apologize if you were in the way of my flying hair, was not my intention to ruin your drink…no need for violence…I’m a lover not a fighter
[ul]
[li]Bossy girlfriends who give me instructions (not directions) while I am driving.[/li][li]Liars who call my integrity into question.[/li][li]When a driver stopped at a 4-way stop sees me 50 yards off and waits for me to stop completely before entering the intersection.[/li][/ul]
…and for the love of god, use your #$%@ turn signals!
Woo-hoo, I believe this is the first time I was referenced by someone. I’ve arrived! Thanks, Lobsang!
bojon is very likely not related although obviously a person of taste.
My pet peeve is bare feet and/or legs in the workplace. No matter how hot it gets, I wear long pants and socks to work. Ladies, I don’t want to see your deformed toes pointing every which way, I don’t want to see your varicose veins and/or cellulite, and I don’t want to be blinded by the glare from your fluorescent legs. Hose 'em or pants 'em, I don’t care which. Just spare me from looking at your ugly feet.

I don’t carry cash. Ever. Sorry. I’m not going to go to the ATM to withdraw cash just so I can pay with cash at the grocery store when it’s just as fast to just swipe my card. Writing a check takes even longer.
The perfume thing drives me bananas. Especially at a restaurant… I can’t eat if all I can smell is someone’s cologne stench.
I agree with you on that one OpalCat I don’t like going to the ATM to withdrawl cash, for only a few items, pay that extra fee, on top of the other EXTRA fees if its not an ATM from my bank. All that money spent just for 4 or 5 items. Blah…easier to just swipe the card at the register.
People who brag about their ignorance annoy the heck out of me.
“No, I don’t know anything about computers. Can’t even turn one on. Aren’t I cute and quaint?” No, you’re a willful moron. May you find yourself with a broken bone, no phone, a laptop, and an internet connection. Bet you’ll figure it out.
“I know, I can’t spell, isn’t it sad?” Yes. Yes, it is.
In line for Harry Potter at mignight, a woman said to me, “Of course, I’m not one to pick up a book and… you know… read it.” If I hadn’t been thirty people from the cash register, she’d have taken the longest kids book in recent memory right to the back of her head.
[all violence in this post is for explanatory purposes only. I do not routinely hurt the ignorant, although I mightily wish to]
People who talk while I’m watching TV. Or even worse, answer a phone call when I’m trying to watch TV (my father is notorious for this). I turn up the volume so I can hear over the telephone conversation, then he speaks louder. I turn it up, he speaks louder. Then when he hands up the phone, he yells at me saying, “Are you deaf? Turn the damn TV down”! WTF!
Definately slow drivers, too.
Also, anyone who uses the word “axe”, as in “let me axe you a question” or uses the word “acrost” or any other other grammatical error (except the ones in this post)
That has to be the nastiest thing I can think of.
