What annoys you??? (C'mon, time to vent)

[mandalina]

It absolutely annoys me to death when I am watching something on tv and someone starts talking to me. Then I shhh them or tell them to hold on and they still keep talking to me...ARGH

[LuvMaui]

Waiting annoys me.

If I'm meeting someone and they're late... I don't wait more than 10 minutes.

If I'm ready to leave the house and my husband isn't... I give him a few minutes and if he can't get it together... I'm gone.

Everyone knows I don't wait. It's now or never Baby!

I should try to write a parody of "Some of my Favourite Things" with those annoyances.

Right now, before my first cuppa coffee?

Cell phone excuse.

People who use toothpicks in public.

[Sib2of11]

Joggers who jog in the road instead of on the sidewalk.

Joggers who jog in the road instead of on the sidewalk.


It could because of cyclists, who think they are God's gift to humankind because they are being green, who are cycling on the sidewalk instead of the road.

[Sib2of11]

Where I live, the cyclists ride on the side of the road. Most of the roads have sidewalks, but the joggers continue to use the roads. They are a hazard to drivers, especially at night.

[Marian Paroo]

Here the cyclists do whatever they feel like.

After the last election, the city even sectioned off part of the sidewalk for them, but they don't care, they go on the part for pedestrians, anyway. :(

One of my my biggest annoynances is people who abuse handicapped parking!

[Marian Paroo]

Oh yes! I don't remember what the fine for that is, I don't drive myself, although I would be eligible if i did, but I think it comes to a couple of hundred $.

Only problem is enforcing it, not enough people walking around with their little ticket machines to check.

One of my my biggest annoynances is people who abuse handicapped parking!

I remember a local radio talk show host who felt like you do about this. He printed up flyers with the handicap logo, and underneath it said, "Ignorance is a handicap, but it doesn't entitle you to park in this space". Every time he saw a car parked illegally in a handicap space, he slipped a flyer under the windshield wiper.

Getting back on topic, another thing that annoys me is people who don't use their turn signals.

[rumbledoll]

starbucks coffee talk :mad:

[rumbledoll]

restaurants that still allow smoking :mad:

[clogaholic]

People who walk slowly in front of you and won't let you pass them.

[Marian Paroo]

Couples or groups that stand in the middle of the sidewalk chatting and blocking pedestrian traffic.

[Cats3]

I agree with that one Marian

When you have a really good friend and all of a sudden out of no where they stop talking to you and don't bother to tell you why, no matter how many times you contact them they just keep ignoring you......What gives with that??????

[rumbledoll]

people that try to make their lives sound perfect all the time

[ladyboss24]

Tailgating on the freeway....

[rumbledoll]

when my daughter leaves her wet towel on the floor

[celtictigeress]

How long of a list can I make? :mad:

I'll limit myself to three, though lord knows there are dozens!

1. Cell phone use. Anywhere, anytime, but particularly when someone's driving. Ugh!

2. Inserting the word "like" in every sentence. Even adults do this. The English teacher in me just wants to slap all those people!

3. People who blast on their horns when they come to pick somebody up, instead of having either the intelligence or consideration of others to realize that there are things called doorbells that don't wake entire neighborhoods. I'll tie in music so loud on car stereos that my windows shake when they drive by with this one.

I think if I could somehow get rid of these three things, life would seem a lot better.

[ofgrace]

People on cell phones in stores yelling, can you hear me now, no, how about now?
People on cell phones in the grocery stores blocking aisles, or absentmindlessly driving their shopping carts, reaching in front of you.
People who have long cell phone conversations with someone else while in your presence. :rolleyes:

[rumbledoll]

ringtones of any kind..i have to keep my phone on vibrate only.

[clogaholic]

Cold rainy weather!

[rumbledoll]

people clogging up the aisles at costco to get a free sample of food

[rumbledoll]

predictable people

[rumbledoll]

when someone asks me a question that they already know the answer to

[Marian Paroo]

People who make all kinds of demands about dinner, whether it be eating out or in.

Demands that don't have to do with health.

[LuvMaui]

People who come to work sick as a dog :(

Yikes!! Where's the Lysol wipes????

[rumbledoll]

laziness

[Hollywood_Inn]

But a pet peeve of mine... well, 2 actually, the first is people who put things on the DASHBOARDs of their car... then DRIVE with stuff up there!!! (told u I wasn't so sharp)... and I also get VERY annoyed if my food is touching, but I kinda just usually keep that to myself.

[rumbledoll]

waiting at a deli counter..i dont know why but it just annoys me
