Considering you drive her around, may I suggest you start calling her “Miss Daisy” as a codename for message boards?
Also, shame on you for your necromancy! Shame!
People who reach a natural chokepoint in a public place like a shop doorway or a narrow aisle and then stop for no apparent reason until someone asks them to move.
People who cant bring themselves to say that they’ve made an incorrect statement and so say “Same difference”.
People who feel that they have to shout loudly when they sneeze.
(Note to the guilty; a shout comes from the throat a sneeze comes from much further up in the nasal passages)
I am in favor of the death penalty for such people. Let us begin with my ex-husband.
Is that me? that is me! sometimes…lessee have we had pasta or chicken yet this week? Anyone in the mood for tuna casserole? 
My Mom’s snarks are a not so very minor thing which really annoy me, when I call her (even, especially on Mothers Day)she invariably snarks at me my life my family. So I call BS and she acts hurt and confused, then stealthily recovers and repeats herself. Then snarks again, like a broken record, I have heard these things my whole life.
Yeah it deserves a rant all its own, but this will suffice.
+1 … Not only do I task light, but I really dont need a light on atnight when i am on the computer, I have a 26" monitor and a g15 backlighted keyboard … I can light up a room by myself!
Heating up an entire oven when all you are doing is reheating a tiny ramekin of leftover casserole. God made microwaves for a reason!
Swet Jebus, I know my roommate THINKS that putting the eggs in cold water, turning on the burner and waiting until ALL the fucking water has boiled off makes hard boiled eggs easier to peel, but christ on a pogo stick, NO. First, other than creating a burned egg stench in the entire house, it is the AGE of the egg that makes it easier to peel or not. Older eggs have had more air permeate the shell, and the moisture in the albumen has evaporated off a smidge, making the membranes pull away from the shell when cooked … not burning the fuck out of eggs, and the ‘egg pan’ [i keep a special hard boiled egg pan that is not nonstick so she doesnt fuck up a nonstick cook pan.]
Do people really need to make noises of agony or ecstasy so their plumbing will work correctly when they use a public restroom? Grunting, moaning, and sighing from strangers just kind of squick me out. The worst is when they talk out loud: “Oh, Jesus, oh, Christ . . .” Man, if it’s so bad you need to pray, maybe you ought to see a doctor.
Repeatedly getting the same advice from the same people, over and over again.
I’m not going to do it. Fuck you. I do what I want , not what you want me to do, you should be used to it by now .
:mad:
“Understand” is far too long of a word in that phrase. It’s always “know”. And it’s all one word. Know’m’sa’in?
I haven’t finished reading the thread to see if anyone else said anything about this, but…
I think it would be funny to pick up some of that stuff in a shovel or something and then wait near the trees for the next time she does this and then whip it right back at her.
Bet she’d never do it again! 
A similar thing happend recently in my neighborhood. The local FOX affiliate was tracking a severe storm going the opposite direction from us in a major city 65 miles away, that had it’s own FOX affiliate TV station, and was breaking into my evening programming in regular intervals to let us know all about it. :dubious:
I rarely laugh out loud reading a post, but this one hit my funny bone for some reason.
(for the record, it sounded like “hernckch hernckch hernckch…”)
Wow! You know my wife?
She just did this on Friday (again). She was saying something and mentioned “Jim” (a friend) when. from the context on the conversation, she was obviously talking about “Kim”, another friend. Then she made the same mistake AGAIN. Since the first one was so jarring, I was darn sure paying attention when it happened again. I made the mistake of pointing it out, and of course she immediately jumped all over me for “mishearing” her.
The trouble is, there’s no good way to handle these outside of ignoring the mistake. But many times, the misspoken word is key to the conversation and unlike Friday’s example, I can’t fill in the correct word and may get in trouble for her mistake, since, as in Bucker’s experience, obviously ALL mistakes are mine.
Things like this make me reach for the “Lawyers” section of the phone book…
I have a pet peeve that is similar to this - it’s when people stop their carts in the aisle, and then someone coming the other way stops their cart NEXT TO THE OTHER CART and completely blocks the aisle instead of stopping ten feet away. The amazing thing is that the people who do this NEVER EVER EVER have the slightest idea that they just blocked the whole aisle. They are ALWAYS surprised when you say “Excuse Me”.
One day someone’s going to do this to me near the cutlery section, and I’ll wind up in jail.
Wow! I answered the same post twice, with different answers! That really annoyed me…
I literally laughed out loud because you posted all about your wife doing that… and then you called the poster “bucker” instead of “buckler”.
Ha! At least he’s not Mother Bucker!
Windows and/or door open, furnace running drives me nuts.
Jeez, and here I thought I had a legit complaint about goddamn asshole dog owners letting their dogs poop all over my yard! At least no one is flinging it in though.
My current pet peeve is the kids playing in my driveway…um, I am not the parent and I am not going to watch them. I’m inside, doing my own thing, and plus I don’t really even like kids that much, and these kids are rude. When I was a kid (now I feel old) we were supposed to greet people politely, with a smile. Not everyone is a child molestor, for chrissakes, and neither I nor my SO fit any profiles of one. Besides, you’re in MY driveway - GTFO! And stay off my lawn, too!
The bathroom at work has 5 stalls, 4 regular and 1 handicap. I usually use the 4th from the door (the furthest one from the door that isn’t the handicap stall). I’m irrationally annoyed when someone then comes in and picks stall 3. If they picked either stall 1 or 2, there would be a space between them and me. Why do they feel the need to pee rightnexttome??
It annoys me when someone closes the door to the bathroom when there’s nobody in there. I think bathroom activities should be as private as possible and, if it can be avoided, shouldn’t have to be announced or interrupted. Open door=vacant, closed door=occupied makes it easy and means people rarely have to knock in order to figure it out.
It doesn’t really annoy me at other people’s houses because I know everyone does things their own way, but at mine, it does.
