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?

OMG

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*

That particular word makes me want to correct them IMMEDIATELY. I am not usually a grammar/vocabulary snob - but for some reason, acrossT is irritating as hell.

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!!

By "here" do you mean where you live? Because, I don't put a "T" on the end of across. Just wondering. :cheesy:

What get me is when people put a "T" at the end of COUSIN. "Let me talk to my cousint about it." What the hell is a cousint??

I had this problem with a co-worker. I just took the battery out of the phone and put it with a note on her desk that said "sorry, it wouldn't quit making noise and I couldn't figure out how to turn it down.

Because they like paying to get their car out of impound?

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.

I've gently suggested that they stop it and have pulled out a few stern looks, but it's an epidemic here. I need reinforcements. :blink:

Excellent! I might just do this next time. Did she ever say anything to you about it?

Holy crap! Apparently he thinks he is in his own little bubble.

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.

lost socks

Where do they go? I have long suspected a link between missing socks and the Bermuda Triangle, Jimmy Hoffa and the Polar Ice Cap. I wonder if when the ice cap melts, a huge sea of lost socks will emerge.

*hrummph*
I heard that the back of the dryer was a portal to a planet with one legged citizens

I could be here forever on this one LOL

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**

lillith 01-02-2010 10:41 PM
I cannot wear socks in bed, nor can the person sleeping next to me. It creeps me out.
