Chiefscott just jumps into any thread, with nothing to add, probably doesn’t even read the topic, and tells people to leave.
I can’t stand when I’m watching a movie with my friends, and as soon as it starts someone asks, “Who is he?” How the hell am I supposed to know??? The movie JUST started!
Double negatives. Oooh, I don’t like no double negatives.
When I go to a restaurant or a movie and the person sits in the first freaking chair, making me either go around or crawl over.
An ex-boyfriend of mine would always add, “you know?” to the end of every bloody sentence. That just pissed me right off.
People who have a two second piece of information to tell me, and waste ten minutes of my life doing it.
When people suck their fingers, or food out of their teeth. Christ, get a toothpick.
When I tell a story, and then it comes back to me completely screwed up and backwards.
And most of all - when people don’t signal. I can’t even begin to express how livid that gets me. ER!
First, people who automatically bitch about SUVs piss me off. I am 6’-5" tall. When I get in a typical car, my knees are banging the dashboard and at about the same level as my chin. On top of that, I have diabetes, and if I can’t sit with my legs down (like they’re supposed to be), then they fall asleep. That would make me a dangerous driver. On top of that, I engage in alot of wintertime sports and activities, and I need four-wheel-drive. And on top of that, a truck is a hundred times more versatile than a car. Bitching about what other people choose to drive is just ignorant.
Second, people who act like the lines around parking spaces are just suggestions as to where to park tick me off. The lines are there to park between. It’s not like they move or anything. If you can’t maneuver your vehicle between them, how dangerous are you around moving objects?
-
People’s habit of continuosly shaking their legs
when they are bored or nervous. Even worse when it’s
someone sitting on the same aisle as you in the movies. -
Talking about cinemas, it’s so irritating when the
person behind you decides to randomly put their legs
or knees or watever on the back or your seat. -
Talking about cinemas again, it’s even more irritating
when someone gives a major loud sneeze and you can feel
that person blowing your hair off. -
Also annoying when people spit little balls of spit
on you or your things when talking to them. -
When drivers slow down just to have a closer look at
some car parked in the emergency lane. As if it has
anything to do with you. Even worse when it starts to
slow down traffic as everyone starts to slow down
and see what the car in front was looking at. -
People who look you up and down. What for man??
-
People getting offensive when they are really just
getting jealous. -
Intentional farters and burpers.
-
People who blow their nose on restaurant napkins.
Don’t they realise restaurant’s reuse them?? -
Kids who stick their snot on you, purposely. Grown ups
as well. -
People who bump into you when trying to walk past
you, when there is space for another cow to get through
without touching anything else. -
People who deliberately annoy you by slowing down when
they know you are in a hurry. -
People farting in confined areas such as cars, or lifts.
-
People trying to tell secrets between themselves, loudly,
then staring at you as if you’re eavesdropping. -
People who eavesdrop.
-
People who don’t know when to stop.
guess it means i should stop here, even though there are
thousands more…
Guys in battered work trucks – you know the type – they sit 3 in a row in the seat – who just have to dump their Burger King trash out of the drivers side and onto the street.
Those old farts in the HUGE luxury cars with the disabled tags – for their wives – who roar into a handicapped spot alone, park and jump out of the car and dance into a store! They figure that their tag guarantees them that spot even if the wife isn’t with them.
Talking to young men or watching young men talk who just have to grab their crotches when doing so like to make sure nothing has fallen off.
People, mainly men, who just have to get within my space and lean in until they are about 6 inches away to talk to me and I get to experience their foul breath along with whatever is in it. Then, when I back up, they follow!
People you know who just have to drag you over to view someone else’s baby where they coo and smile and want you to compliment that little thing, which often looks like a monkey or is ugly enough to convince you that the mother was inseminated by space aliens.
Phone solicitors who, upon asking how I am doing today, get told ‘busy’ and still insist on starting their spiel. (I hang up, rudely.)
MAJOR PET PEEVE! Anyone who just has to start up those damn, insane hornet sounding weed eaters, lawn blowers, and lawn vacs before 10:00 in the morning!! (They need to outlaw those friggin’ things!)
Those damnable enormous stereos in cars, where one can hear them coming from a block away and they rattle the coffee cups in your kitchen when they pass. I’d like to use a baseball bat on the driver, his passenger, the seller of such goods and those jerkwad young advertisers who sell the stuff on TV and radio, saying ‘TURN IT UP!!!’
Whatever politically correct, new-age, kinder-gentler, were’re O.K., share-the-experience people who came up with the 'we’re pregnant yuppie-like phrase.
Enormously – and I mean enormously – fat women, unmistakably pregnant, waddling down the grocery aisle wearing sandals on dirty, fat, flat feet, shorts that are far too tight and show me much more than I want and a huge T-shirt with that downward pointing arrow stating ‘BABY.’ Usually she is accompanied by at least two other, too-plump, often somewhat dirty, noisy, toddlers. After examining the entire scene and reading the arrow, most wonder ‘why?’
Lastly, those damn slobs with infants who use those disposable diapers (another fine waste of our dwindling resources) in cars in parking lots and then dump them out of the door onto the ground. Especially during rainstorms! On hot summer days! (Nothing is much worse than the scent of a hot, steamy parking lot after a summer shower, with the sun beating down, everything humid and muggy and one walks up on a squashed, soggy, crap filled diaper which is adding its own, special stink to everything.)
Oooh… if an adult just up and wiped a big green booger on me, they’d be on the business end of my fist REAL quick.
Has someone actually wiped snot on anyone here?
Oh… and another thing which bugs me- people who will talk with great authority about things that they know very little about. For example, actors talking about politics, civilians second-guessing military officers, non-policemen second-guessing police, users second-guessing the MIS staff, etc… THAT is probably my biggest annoyance(the last one).
People who wear flip-flopy sandal things and REFUSE to pick up thier feet when they walk!!! I TRULY want to slap them. Why do I have to hear every step you take two aisles across from me at the grocery store!!!
People who want to change my religion upon meeting me. I am standing in my yard and a man and his wife walk up and introduce themselves and proceed to ask me if I have a personal relationship with Jesus. I asked him if he had a sexual relationship with his wife. It was just as much of a personal question as he asked me yet he got all huffy. Go figure.
One more: Please turn on your turn signal BEFORE you slam on your brakes to make your turn, it’s helpful all around.
I drive an Expidition (LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT) but I am VERY courteous to people turning right.

What bugs me?
Willful ignorance pushes my piss-off buttons instantly.
People bug me when they say “different than” instead of “different from”. Nothing personal, Kinsey, just a personal quirk. I hate that “We’re pregnant” line much, much more.
Most of the other things people have mentioned on this thread do or would bug me. I guess I have a low threshold.
People who use the word “literally” figuratively. I saw a news show the other night in which a woman being interviewed claimed that she “literally died” when she found out her son had been busted for drugs. She looked pretty alive to me.
I also hate it when people close the door tightly after leaving the bathroom in a house. First of all the smell goes nowhere so it lingers in a vacuum seal. And second you can’t tell if there is actually anyone in there, so you have to knock, but there is usually there is to much noise to hear if anyone answered, so you have to slowly open the door and wait for a shreik of surprise if anyone is in there.(if you couldn’t guess that happened to me again yesterday)
Actually, I’ve never met a guy who does it. And I’m talking about people who just totally, clearly slaughter a word (complicated or not), and have to add “I may have mispronounced it”). As if we couldn’t tell. If she said it at the beginning, I wouldn’t mind.
Ayesha keeps dragging me into her troll hunts. I don’t want any more of it. It’s a waste of everyone’s time.
Just FYI folks, the dpr above is an imposter troll.
Imposter trolls are what bug me worse than anything…
Bad table manners also bug me, I want to slap people who chew with their mouths open. That is so nasty.
I hate it when people have overly large, flapping dentures that protrude from their mouths so far that they can’t close their lips over them. Especially when said dentures have accumulated a large portion of shredded wheat from breakfast (5 hours ago), particles of which spray out at me when they talk. One lady the other day had this problem and she kept licking her shredded-wheat-slobbery giant teeth, rolling little bits of semidigested food around her tongue. I’ve seen a lot of gross things in my career, but I swear I nearly threw up on her couch.
Take out the dentures and rinse them in the sink. Then get to a dentist posthaste and order a new pair that fit well enough to actually remain inside your oral cavity.
–People who suck their saliva through their teeth as they talk. My brother in law does this. “I was wondering (suck) if you could take me to my dad’s house (suck) so I could um (suck) go for a bike ride (suck).”
–People who pronounce their names opposite to the way they are spelled (Rafe Fines is a good example, from the Mikado song). Sade and Patrick Roy are two more.
–Immigrants who don’t learn English and then get annoyed when people don’t know what they want. Someone else said this too, but I think it bears repeating. I’m not against immigration, but like Dennis Miller said, you wanna play in our sandbox, learn the f*cking rules.
–People who say they will cal you and then don’t. I don’t mean your friends, I mean stores and services that you are PAYING for. Like my mechanic said they would call yesterday afternoon, didn’t, and when I called this morning and said “I was expecting a call yesterday,” their excuse was “Oh, well the part didn’t come in.” Did I say, “please call me only if the part comes in? I don’t THINK so …”
–People who get insulted and offensive when you ask for their ID before selling them cigarettes. It’s the law you morons. The clerk is not out to wreck your day.
–People who assume I know more than I do. I run a computer business with my husband, but I do only administrative tasks and don’t know anything of the inner workings (his job). When someone calls with a technical problem, learns that he is out, and says, “Oh, well maybe you can help me …” I want to say, no I can’t, please f*ck off."
–I second the one about people thinking that “leave a message” really means “please tell me your entire life story.” I never write this shit down. I go back to whatever I’m doing on the computer, turn off my ears, and “mm-hmm” away until they’re done.
–People who think that because their brother is a programmer they can get better computer advice from him, and that we are ripping them off.
Man, I really hate my job …
-
Sandals and flip-flops. I know they’re comfortable, but…I don’t want to look at your feet!
-
People who wear weird or rude T-shirts, or have different parts of their bodies pierced (in the '80s it was weird hairstyles), who then get mad when you look at them. Oh, I’m sorry: I thought you were TRYING to attract attention!
-
People who call for information and tell you everything but what you most need to know to be able to answer the question, or people who take 5 minutes to explain or respond to something when 30 seconds would suffice.
-
Bad grammar and mispronunciations: double negatives, using “don’t” for “doesn’t,” pronouncing the word “envelope” as “ONvelope” (rrr!).
At the place where I work, we have a customer who comes in about 2-3 times a month. He has dentures and insists on chewing gum. Unfortunately, he can’t seem to keep the gum entirely inside his mouth!! The wad just sorta flies around the outside of his teeth. I just wanna smack him!
:wally
unnecessary outdoor lighting
(it’s the astronomer in me)
I have to agree with the sandals and ‘flip-flops’ line. Far too many people who wear them seem to find it much too hard to actually lift up their big feet so they ‘scrape-scrape-scrape’ every place they go.
Ever notice how so many of them seem to not bother washing said big feet either?
I’ll go you one further. I used to spot this a lot among members of a minority group and it used to irritate the crap out of me. Wearing shoes or sneakers with the backs crushed down and bare heels sticking out, like slippers. Locally, the ‘style’ seems to be dying out.
Then the women who buy shoes that look great – open backed but their feet don’t fit. Their heels hang off by about half an inch. I used to find that a lot within a certain economic group.
People who just have to rub their feet in public. You’ve seen them. Dressed nicely, probably business people sitting down awaiting a bus, taxi, airplane or whatever. They slip off the ol’ shoe and rub their stockinged feet. I don’t care how clean their shoes and feet are – they usually don’t wash their hands after doing so. I certainly don’t want to shake hands with them after that.
