Professionals who can't or wont explain a problem/solution to the layperson that's paying them. This includes doctors, lawyers, mechanics and anyone else that hides behind a lot of mumbo jumbo "technical" blah blah.

I don't need it broken down into single syllable words but I am bright enough to understand most common usage words. My newest epiphany is that if they can't explain it, they're ripping me off.

1. Call Centers... need I say more... a monstrously ugly turn into the abyss of exploited, disgruntled workers and frustrated cheated customers.

2. Automated telephone systems that send you into a crazy-making maze of number choices that leave you so horribly confused and trapped that all you want to do is throw that TV, fridge, whatever, out the window and go fire bomb the company (just a figure of speech...do not try this at home )

I absolutely hate automated telephone systems...I didn't mind them so much when the actually gave an option to get to a real person, but they don't even do that anymore. Drives me nuts

I hate when my kids take the last of something (packet of oatmeal...last cookie etc) and leave the empty box. Im under the impression that I have these things still and dont replace them....burns my biscuit!

ok...im a double dipper..and i leave crumbs in the peanut butter..i also cross contaminate..i use the same knife on the butter i just used on the jam. Same with the mayo. :-( Forgive me for i know not what i do...okok...i do know what i do but...i cant help it...:|:|:|

Hair! Anyone's, on me. Or in any place on my body it should not be. Even my own when I get it cut I have to run home and shower.

That shit shows up in my food and I am coming out the box!

People who step over a hanger or bit of trash and keep on going.

I have two of them in my house and it makes my blood boil!

Sticky. Like when I get syrup on me. Gah!!!

Nicking my finger nails before the paint has dried.

People who ask you what you are doing on a specific date as though if you have nothing planned you want to do their stupid activity.

This is how it should be done: "I wonder, Candelion, if you would like to go to the monster truck pull with me on Saturday." Perfect. Now, I know exactly what their nefarious plans are. I can politely respond with, "Oh, I'm dreadfully sorry, but I have tickets to the duck calling contest that day. Enjoy the truck pull!"

That's what dogs are for don't cha know?!?

You are taking all the fun outta "surprising you" with gawdawful plans!!!

Here's how I do it... Candelion darling, I have an extra ticket to the Circus. Do you know anyone who might like to go?

That way you can holler, "what about ME!?! I want to go!!!" :| :rrose:

Long List
 

1. The way some people walk in flip flops.

2. Getting fruit in my bag at Halloween.

3. When people finish my sentences.

4. Hair on soap.

5. People who leave time on the microwave. Clear the damn clock!

6. Porn clips where the where the audio is slightly delayed.

7. People who open the door for you and they are 200 feet away.

8. When I text a joke or something funny and the person does not reply. I mean really, a haha or a lol will do. It only takes two seconds. I mean hello!

9. People who make up names, use creative thinking, or unneccesary punctuation in their kids names. Like T'yffanee. Makes my skin crawl.

10. When I walk into an empty movie theatre with people who chose to sit in the very front. Why would you unnecessarily volunteer to break your neck or 2 hours.

11. Chalk. Looking at chalk, touching chalk, writing with chalk, watching someone write with chalk, writing about chalk, anything else with that devilishly textured abomination of calcium carbonate. Chalk can burn and die in whatever hell there is for inanimate objects.

12. People who say warshing machine or winder instead of washing machine or window.

13. Family reunions in the middle of a store that block the whole aisle.

When my burrito explodes in the microwave :|

I could hear a guy smacking his lunch in the room across the hall from my office today. People smacking and talking with food in their mouths drives me insane. Say it don't spray it, ya know? :whine:

I do not under any circumstances like my hands to get dirty. I know, I am neurotic. It makes me nuts. Eating ribs? BBQ chicken? No freaking way!

whatever brilliant think tank decided to make the scroll button on the computer (>>>>) nearly invisible UNTIL you're using it....

yeah that must've been 10 years worth of education right there...

This has been bothering me for some time... I just chose today to voice it.

<<<has grumpy pants on

I may have posted this when the thread was first started but it is so irritating; I shall do it again:

People that talk throughout a movie!

We went to see Nightcrawler the other day. It was a matinee so there were a ton of empty seats but of course, they sat right in front of us.

They proceeded to talk non-stop. I shushed them a few times, they stopped for a second, and then, could not help themselves- they were off and running again.

Other than them, the theater was quiet.

Finally, I leaned over and said: "You are not in your living room watching TV. Would you please be quiet and stop talking?"

They finally shut up.

Irritating beyond all measure.

Good for you!!!

That also bugs me; when you are already comfortably ensconced in your seat and the place is EMPTY...and people sit RIGHT BY YOU... I call it the herding instinct...then they proceed to talk...sheesh...

I have actually had to YELL at someone who answered their phone not once but TWICE during the movie....twice. People suck man....

in a parking lot, i get as far away as possible to park. have seen too many inconsiderate people throw their doors open and ding the side of adjacent car.

usually, most folks will waste a gallon of petro to find the closest spot (amiright?) so, my away parking spot is devoid of most drivers.

BUT.....every now and then, after returning to car from making a purchase, i see a pick up truck the size of east AND west jesus parked 2 inches away from my door. why? plenty of other spaces available.

why?

I hate when people don't close the toilet lid when they flush. The toilet water can splash up to 8 feet away!

*glances nervously at my toothbrush*

People who "one-up" you whenever you say anything.

Constant bragging.

Social media braggarts (the worst!!). :rolleyes:

Fishing for compliments.

*Leaving chip or cracker boxes wide open after eating them.

People who don't pay attention to where they're walking (admittedly, this has been me before...but it's not so bad when I do it, of course :cheesy:), or people who are so oblivious to their surroundings that they don't realize/care when they're in everyone's way.

*One of these things doesn't fit with the others. I realize this.

THIS drives me infreakingsane. Especially when trying to grocery shop and people just leave their buggies (shopping carts for those of you not from the south :D) in the middle of the aisle.

Another one would be people who park their cars like jackasses...either taking up more than one space or parking too close to another car.

Oops just saw your post. As you can tell...I AGREE! :)

I almost forgot about the humblebrag, one of the most annoying pet peeves.

Also, also, vaguebooking.

Loud talkers. In restaurants they are always the ones talking about the most boring of things. I suppose the salacious conversations are more hushed.

People who seem completely flummoxed at 4-way stops.

Those who, in any retail situation, still pay by check and wait until the entirety of their purchase is rung up to even begin filling out said check.

People talking on the phone in the bathroom.
People talking on the phone in line at the store.
People talking on the phone over dinner.
People talking on the phone on a date.

And water spots on the the bathroom/kitchen chrome.

And adults using text talk.

And those who wear expensive clothes & accessories and then wear nappy beat up ugly shoes.

And sarcasm.

LOL I flushed the toilet one time, completely cutting off someone's phone conversation. I felt bad about it for about half a second, and then I came to my senses. :cheesy:

I know this well now. :twitch:

People who talk too much, people who talk too loudly, without saying. absolutely. nothing.

1. Anyone who pronounces the word Missouri in the following manner - [mih-ZER-uh] will automatically elicit some sort of reaction from me. It's reflexive. That particular pronunciation repels and attracts me all at once. I'm not sure what that's about, but it is what it is. I never know exactly what to do when someone does it, though; it puts me all out of sorts. My outward reaction might be stoic, I suppose; but inside I'll be a little freaked out, lol.

2. When I hear adults refer to potatoes as "taters," tomatoes as "maters," and bananas as "nanners," it actually pains me. "Maters," by far, bothers me the most.

3. However, what really sends me over the edge more than anything else is the widespread phenomenon of adults having adopted the speech patterns typically associated with teenaged girls hailing from the valley - complete with that absolutely dreadful vocal fry.

(Case in point: I was having the most relaxing experience at the salon last week until two chatterboxes (who, it must be noted, literally did not stop talking the entire time I was in the chair) seated right next to me struck up one of the most inane conversations I have ever had the misfortune of overhearing.

And as they continued their ceaseless and vapid banter, all the more pronounced became this particular manner of speech in each of them. So what was at first (for all of 5 seconds) mildly amusing, reached a very rapid crescendo of annoying as I was forced by circumstances beyond my control to seriously contemplate the feasibility of stealing a pair of scissors and plunging them directly and deeply into my beleaguered ears for a bit of relief from the mounting migraine, lol).

I have never understood the need some feel to fill every single pause with mindless conversation. Ooh - there's number 4.

That's all I can think of for now, but this is not to be construed as an exhaustive list, lol.

I can NOT stand it when I'm drinking a to go coffee and there is even the tiniest bit of coffee on the inner rim and inevitably spills on you when you take a drink...

Yes...this happened to me today. Later, I just straight up spilled coffee down my shirt. Its just been that kind of day...

People who do not use bathroom spray even though
it is out and obvious for people to use!

Not putting the lid back on the Tabasco sauce bottle and when I shake it, the lid flies off and the sauce goes everywhere.

I totally got crumbs in the butter today..

And I hate when that happens...

You know those plastic angle brooms, with those attached dust-pans, that fall down? That's what!:(
