I don't know if they've changed the rules since I was in school, but both pronounciations are correct. I just prefer the one without the 't' also. What gets to me is that EVERYONE here (except me, the one who knows better) says "acrosst". No 't'! There is no freaking 't' in there, people! OhmyeverlovingJeebus, that is irritating! |
I have a driveway. It's easy to note this because my car is often in it. And yet. And yet... people seem intent on parking in such a way to block some or all of my drive way. This despite the fact that parking is not at a premium on my block. WHY?

There is a woman in my dept who is sweeter than pie, but she drives everyone NUTS! She ALWAYS forgets to turn down the ringer on her cell phone and so a few times a week, her phone RINGS for like 1-2 minutes straight the most annoying ringtone ever. It is one of the standard Blackberry tones. And the worst part is that her office is a ways down the hall, which means the ringer is LOUD enough for me to hear like 20 yards away!!! |
I'm a planner and I *know* it's just not possible to get everyone to plan ahead. However, I'd like to think that if a retreat is being scheduled for a group of 16 people, more than 12-14 days notice would be nice. Especially when said retreat is being planned during the work week.
C'mon, folks. Not everyone in the group is out of work or able to take vacation between Christmas and New Years! *grumble* |

I had an ex who would say it all the time and it drove me insane until I finally exploded with a vocabulary lesson. Needless to say .... it didn't help. :brainsucker: |
If you were meant to be a cow, karma would have made you such!
Chewing.
The sound of it, the sight of it. I mean seriously? Yes, it's something that must be done to get that delicious food down. However, it's not necessary (ever) to smack ones lips after said bite, or do so with ones mouth open OR for that matter do it so that I have to hear it. I like quiet. Eat a chip? Suck on it a little first to squelch the crunch. Yes, I know that the piece of pie was tasty, but you ate it, enjoyed it and you DON'T have to smack your lips afterwards in appreciation. I mean what the hell? When I was younger I used to build a fortress of cereal boxes around me just so I wouldn't have to hear or see my sister. Call me crazy but I still will if you're loud or I can see you. Ick!! |

There is a guy at work who won't answer his cell phone right away because he likes to sing along with his ring tone. And of course, it's LOUD. If I hear U2's With or Without You one more time, I will stick a pencil in his ear. (But I won't because that might incur jail time.) But I still WANT to. |

On some occasions, I have thought about sending out a dept wide email asking "the person with the loud (insert song/tone name here) -knowing full well who it is- to please be more aware of the surrounding QUIET workplace" |
Four more things that grate on my nerves:
* People who eat popcorn like horses, esp. in the movies :popcorn: * People who pop bubblegum constantly :wtf: * Bio-males who constantly rearrange themselves :confused: * People who talk on cell phones during Church services, movies, restaurants, checking out at the grocery store - it is just rude. :chainsaw: |
Follow up the Workplace Cell Phone Ring Violators
My last company was an open concept/loft space with hard wood floors. The place already sounded like a racquet ball court. It didn't help the VP of Sales thoroughly enjoyed his Ohio State Fight Song ring tone. We would yell at him, "Hey Matt, turn off your f*cking phone already" and other niceties.
He thrived on the yelling so finally one day we all decided we would contribute to the ringing. Anytime his phone would ring we would all stop what we were doing stand up and rush to his desk and clap our hands enthusiastically and in rhythm to his ring tone. Go Buckeyes! He changed his ring to vibrate. My work here is done. Carry on. |

I'll start off with one ........ it drives Me absolutely NUTS when someone assumes things about Me, or assumes that just because I've done something many times in the past that I'm gonna do it again **grumbles** |
I cannot wear socks in bed, nor can the person sleeping next to me. It creeps me out.

People who talk on their cell phones in the public bathroom. Really?
Soggy bread. End of story. People who suck air through their teeth. |
Tardiness drives me insane, if I'm going to be late I aint going. If you are going to be late pick up the phone and call me, as I hate to wait.
Please let me fix my own plate as I don't like my food to touch. Rude smokers....blow it the other way and be sure your ashes hit the ashtray and DON'T SMOKE IN MY TRUCK. Leaners..my truck is not a leaning post, get off of it. If you are to tired or lazy to stand up, lean on something else, please. |
Those who are blatantly and purposely rude, inconsiderate, lazy and lying have gotten my :goat: lately. This kind of stuff always bothers me but I have a lower bullshit threshold lately, I guess.

wash dishes in 2 small square tubs in the sink only about 1 or2 inches of HOT water only in each. one for wash one for rinse. Turn on hot water only catch the cold water coming out in a milk jug until it turns hot. Water plants with water in jug. This saves on the water bill and the sewer bill as she lives in town and has to pay for both.

This sends me over the edge...and I mean :overreaction: :overreaction:
After digging out from the snow, and most people on my street all pitch in to help each other out. Well, after Rosie finished digging out her car, she got in and moved it. Then she went back to finish shoveling out her parking spot. Some ass pulled in as soon as she went to put down her snow shovel. He wasn't from my neighborhood. All I can say is cold water around the tires are not going to be pretty on Monday morning when he has has to leave for work. :snowysmiley: |
This was on the news...fights are breaking out everywhere. People are digging out their parking spots and putting plastic chairs where their spots are. Upon returning home, they discover someone has taken over their parking spot, and put their plastic chair on the sidewalk.

I might have forgotten to mention a thing or two....
Don't mess with my hat. It is on my head it is in my space leave it alone, it's mine. It's always there, like a finger or an ear. Leave it on my head. My glasses. They were made for me and sized to fit me. Please do not pick them up and put them on your BIG HEAD. You'll have them stretched out and then they will be sliding off my face until I can get them adjusted. Ya can't see out of them and you can't tell by putting them on how blind I am, so leave them where you find, please. Also don't clean them for me, you'll scratch them and I loathe scratches on my glasses. |
Blade,
I so get your thread. :goodpost: I wear baseball hats, and if I could only earn a quarter for everytime someone who takes it off my head, or moves it, or does something to it, I find so irratating and rude. And the same for my glasses. That about sends me over the edge. One of my ocd behaviors is cleaning glasses, and this would start my ocd in action. It is tiresome. :overreaction: :overreaction: |
The inconsiderate brats who leave hella trash all around the bus stop. :rant: That bus stop...is right in front of our house. :angry: Damn kids. :| Litter Bugs ~ Meet the Hippy ~ who gonna learn ya how to use a trash can all proper n stuff. :hospital-snoopy: :daywalker: |
Someone slamming my car doors gets me going. Things like messing up the window on its tracks (electric or not), or breaking all of the mechanism inside a car door happens that way and a whole lotta rattles get started with this. Not to mention the sound of the slamming! The doors close just fine with a regular swing!
I have to agree with Daywalker about litter, too. Makes me totally crazy. I live near a middle school as well as a community center and there is always litter around.... everywhere but in the can! |
Dirty bathrooms, anywhere I go....
It's a quirk... don't care if it's a gas station, Krogers..hell, Wal-Mart... Just because it's Big... has lotsa stalls, and underpaid cleaners.. doesn't mean u can waltz in them, and act like u were raised by a pack of fuckin Baboons, leaving piss on the seat, tampons in plain view, and a rather graphic....and astonishing poop the size of a chrome dildo that leaves me wondering{after gagging} "did their asshole bleed???"... Half the toilets flush easily, efficiently.... I'm sure your mother taught u how to clean up after using the Can.... Same for mens room...fuck...it's almost like they had a brainfart, and figured the bathroom deserves a new Scent [ and in some cases, i kid u not...disgusting deco]... I dont have the luxury of holding till I get home.... Thankfully the vast majority of places I been to, I have the option of at least ....cleaning a little the spot i might use before "hovering"...... buncha pigs.... |
The everyday things that make me insane...
*If I go to an Asst. Living Facility, dinner is at 4:30pm and there is a mad rush to go. God help you if you get in the way of the elderly folks there.
*Spellcheck. I still cannot figure it out on this computer. |

The litter got so bad in Oakland at one point, that while sitting in the BART Station I look up n see a huge billboard that read: "I could understand dropping a tissue on the sidewalk...but, a COUCH?" :| Ain't that some shit. :duct: Speaking of shit...yep, public restrooms in a multi gillion dollar establishment that smells like a diaper pail and resembles an outhouse turned inside...out...pisses me off. :runforhills: I been to rest stops in the middle of nowhere that are cleaner than that. :doh: :daywalker: |
Why do people think it is acceptable to pee or :crap: on toilet seats? I just don't get this at all. I think they need an intervention.

I have a thing about fingerprints on my glass, even my own!! I have to hold the glass by the stem or at the very base and when I drink I have to only sip from the same place so I dont get gloss all round it, when I set it down it has to face the same way so when I pick it up I can drink from the right place. I get teased about this and friends have waited til I have gone to the restroom and `fingerprinted` my glass all over to drive me crazy so I started to carry a glass from home with me so I could tip my drink into!!! God I sound weird now dont I ??!!!!!!!!!!!

Slamming gets me mad too! How bout when they get the seatbelt caught in the door so it wont shut but they carry on slamming anyway?????!!!!! And you have to walk around the car, whilst listening to the slamming, to calmy say `you got the belt caught in it` ??? Whats that all about??

Snow is in the forecast. Anywhere from 6 inches to 18 inches. The plastic chairs are out. Ice Melt is ready to be cut open. And the grocery stores...to be avoided today at all costs. The parkinglots are just full, and people act like they have no common sense.:bananasplit:

People deciding to have a conversation with others while standing in front or in a doorway. People standing at the top or bottom of the escalator in conversation.
I just want to say HELLOOOOOOOOOO. Can you perhaps notice there is an entire world trying to navigate around you? |
