What behavior, kind of person, etc. Annoys you the most?

People that drive with their head in their butt annoys me the most. :p

What's that mean? :confused: excuse me, my english is improving... lol

what's that mean??:confused: excuse me, my english is improving...lol

Sorry, its sort of a figure of speech. It means people that drive like idiots...

Bullies - children or adults. I think adults more so than the children. I can see them as a child, being the classroom and playground terrorist. They have not developed beyond that and teach their children to act the same way.

Ahh yes I don't like bullies either!

I'm with you Star. Today everyone I was driving behind was acting as if it was their first day out on the road.

I also cannot stand people who have no sense of a world outside of themselves. Like today when I went to the post office there was a line out the door and only two people working. One lady monopolized one cashier for a good 10 minutes asking her what everything was in the post office. She was asking her to explain how the postage worked and she was totally confused how insurance worked and couldn't figure out how to fill out the TO and FROM fields on one of those priority mail boxes. Guess it was her first time at a post office?

Gee I dealt with a lot of annoying people today.

I was actually reading on article earlier this week (if I can find it I'll post it) about how modern technology is making us less tolerant of annoyances in our day to day life. That before we had all the modern luxuries we have like internet, cell phones etc that we had no choice but to interact with people on a day to day basis. Which meant going to the grocery store with the crazies around the holidays. Beating crowds while holiday shopping. Or just generally dealing with the day to day irritants are no exacerbated because we can choose if we want to do never deal with people.

Nobody likes bullies, that's probably why they are bullies!! LOL

I'm with you Star. Today everyone I was driving behind was acting as if it was their first day out on the road.

If it is anything but sunny here in Jacksonville, they all act like it's their first day on the road here too. When its sunny, then they are just pushy and rude drivers.

Nobody likes bullies, that's probably why they are bullies!!!! LOL

Good point! The next time anyone bullies me I will just hug them and say "its okay" over and over again until they break and become kind :)

People

:)

p.s. did you get that pic in your signature off somethingawful?

Bad drivers really bother me too. If I didn't drive so defensively all the time I would be in a new accident every week. I also hate the guys who think burning out and revving their engines makes them cool. They're like - Here's how big my penis is! VVVRROOOOOOOM!!

Haha! True! So many guys think it's manly to burn out and do tricks in their cars. Some guy tried to impress me and my friend by revving his truck before. I think he was compensating for something!

^^: well, I am not a good driver, the slowest on the high way... sorry...

Like most of the asians... lol

^^: well, I am not a good driver, the slowest on the high way...sorry...

I thought you were going to say people who don't return dishes! :)

Drivers that speed down residential streets!! Make me so angry.

bushg agrees: please , I want drivers like you on my street.
Aw, thank you. But some people might not like slow drivers... especially those who like to speed. I got flipped once... :P

Another thing that bothers me is when my college professors speak horrible English. My English professor says stuff like "there's too many" instead of "there are too many," "exetra" instead of "etcetera(etc.)" She also says "got" instead of have and even the papers she gives us are full of horrible English errors.

Also, the same college won't hire my mom fulltime because she is almost a doctor of English and they would have to pay her too much. Instead, they hire idiots who have no idea how to teach so they don't have to pay as much. Good for a place that credits itself as being "The best choice for empowering students, building communities, and changing lives."

People who think they are better than others...

I cannot stand liars and cheaters.
I hate Reckless drivers.(I am like many on this thread),sometimes I wish they will crash just so they will know how fast they reach the hospital or their graves.
Self centered people.Anyone who use people and love things.
Anyone who puts down(bullies too) or looks down on people.
People who argue for the sake of arguing.
Abusive people whether mentally or physically.

It is not like I have to deal with all of the above all the time,but they are on my list of disliked and annoying people.

Rich spoiled kids who don't understand $ value of money and lazy
Shallow people, no real skills
controlling people
people who have a dirty mind
people who argue for the sake of arguing-like what FB mentioned
losers who no ambitions, no goals, but know how to get things for free(cheat, lie, steal, using violence)

OK, I just have to say... between Nice girl and Firmalishious... I really need to slow down.. and drive like a good girl.. I am not reckless, just kind of fast... PLEASE FORGIVE ME...
And yes all the things you mentioned are very annoying. What about KNOW IT ALL'S...

Firmalishious...
Lol, why you call her this name? What is that mean?

Fergie taught me that... LOL...

Hipp(o),
Sometimes l like to hear from know it alls, some even make sense at times,but not always.Then it gets annoying ;)

Me too, I actually like Know It Alls. And it's okay if they don't know it ALL, if they know most stuff I don't know, they get my vote!:)

That is a wonderful way to look at it... sometimes... they think they know it all and act like a KNOW IT ALL... I love learning from what people have to say... but sometimes enough is enough especially when geeze, I got to get out of here... You know? He he

I am sometimes annoyed by all the attention paid to obnoxious people. Quite a bit of the time, it's attention that they crave, so by giving it to them, we just encourage their obnoxious behavior. Unless they're really doing it to us personally, it's usually better to ignore them.

I work in a museum and today I was giving a guy a tour and we were talking. Every time we came upon something involving a different ethnicity, he said something like "Hey, it's one of those Nip swords." I thought maybe it was just because he was older and his terminology didn't evolve, but near the end of the tour he called Native Americans a bunch of bastards and said "We shoulda killed em' all back in the 1800's." It really annoys me that this kind of attitude exists today. He was wishing for the genocide of an ethnicity he knew nothing about.

I agree with you gallivant... totally

OK, so here I go...
This really annoys me.
I make dinner for my family,
I serve everyone and by the time I finish making my plate,
Everyone has already gobbled up their food and I'm left sitting there by myself at the dinner table.
OR
I'm cooking something that requires a few being cooked at a time,
As I'm cooking little hands and big hands keep picking at the food,
Well, what do you know, when dinner is ready, everyone's full...
OR
I try preparing a healthy dinner,
Followed the recipe to a tee,
Spent a lot of time trying to make it tasty BUT, no one wants to eat that "nasty" stuff they say...
Then at 9 o'clock at night when I'm trying to get the kids to bed,
All I hear is "I'm hungry"... over and over again until I make them something to eat...


OK, I'm done... LOL

Kae... you are not alone sweet... just know that...
EDIT::::
Or clean floors and everyone comes home and leaves their shoes on or wipes the crumbs on the floor... GRRRR... Or... I could go on and on... LOL

Kae, I think every mother in the U.S. goes through what you do. You should try sitting and watching T.V. when it's supposed to be dinner time. Your kids will say "Mooooom, aren't you making dinner?" And you can say " You want ME to make dinner? Are you sure? I can't even make the stuff you like." They should start begging you to make them dinner after that, saying "Yes you can, come on mom!" They'll realize what a nice favor you're doing for them every night and stop thinking it's just your job.

(When they grab for food, give them the eye of the tiger and mutter "Dinner.....Is not......Ready." Develop a technique that scares them):)

He he... mom on strike sounds good to me... can I start now? LOL:D
I have one of those looks... everyone tells me I am not intimidating... that really irritates me. My eyes can turn red and it won't even matter... you got some advice for that one..

Practice in the mirror, haha. My mom had an angry face/evil grin that creeped us out.

I tend to laugh at myself when I am mad, or the reason for being mad... I grin a bear it all the time... To tell you the truth, I have made some faces in the mirror... just thinking about it makes me crack up... Poor kids... I hope they turn out OK... their mother is looney...

People that won't move over and let me go by when I'm speeding tjrough a residential area really annoy me. There's too many of them.

I try to make a mean face, actually, I think I'm very successful at it.
But, I get laughed at too... boo me...

So, did I hear someone say Strike? Sounds good to me too!
Start, are you with me?

Picket sign... check
Remote control... check (how do I use this thing?)
Bonbons... check
Fuzzy slippers... check check
Fluffy pillow... check
Comfy comfoter... check

Boy, I'm not use to this... I think I'll stay here all day.

Oh no, I just heard my children climb up onto the counter.
They're helping themselves to a snack...
Oops, sounds like they just dropped it and now food is all over the clean floor!

Hmmmm... Dog... check

I'm beginning to like this! Gallivant, this was a great idea!

Kae--
I was a bachelor for ten years, and though I didn't learn to cook much (I ate out a lot and what cooking I did was very spartan), I certainly did learn to appreciate it, and say so, when somebody cooks for me. My wife loves that about me, but she does get tired of cooking and I don't blame her. Some nights she makes herself a bowl of popcorn and I eat whatever I can scrounge. I figure she deserves a night off whenever she wants one. We live 25 miles from town so we don't eat out much.

Kae... I am there... I want a few good movies, or time alone in the car to listen to some dorky music that no one else in the family likes... LOL I will go grab my quilt and some coffee... I have to wait a day... I have been craving a thanksgiving dinner so I am going to make it all up today... Hugs...
Cowboy... when Dustin cooks I always tell him it was wonderful and nice of him to do so... You are a nice man to tell her you appreciate her... Hugs

Guy, that is kind of you to recognize and appreciate your wife and then letting her know so.

For the most part, I can't complain... my husband and kids are pretty good to me.
For the longest time though, I've been trying to work it out to where we can sit down as a family and eat dinner together,
Maybe learn about everyone's day, but sadly it's tougher than I expected it to be.

Start, You have the right idea!
I could go for some yummy stuffing and some pumpkin pie!

Oh... now I have to make a pumpkin pie... darn it Kae... I wan just thinking about the turkey, stuffing, corm, tatoes... ok, OK pumpkin pie...
I made my first apple pie last winter... I used whiskey... it was the first whole piece of apple pie I have ever had, I normally don't like cooked fruit... but that pie was GRAND! I won't forget the whipped cream either... haha

For the longest time though, I've been trying to work it out to where we can sit down as a family and eat dinner together, maybe learn about everyones day, but sadly it's tougher than I expected it to be.
Hang in there. Even if it doesn't happen every day, if you can pull it off even two or three days a week it will be worthwhile. Our kids are both out of the house now, and it seems like it all happened so fast. Don't let them slip away without finding out who they are. The evening meal together is a great place to do it, in my experience.

What behavior, kind of person, etc. Annoys you the most?

Lol I know it might sound dumb but I don't like people who listen to country music or opera or slow songs just for fun, not that there is anything wrong with slow songs I just can't listen to them except if I'm sad or at a wedding or something and I don't like people who drive 20 when you can go up to 50
And I don't like guys who tell the girls are mean lmaoo
And I hate bullies except if I'm the one ;p jp

I've never had a whiskey apple pie... sounds delish:D

I'm going to attempt a homemade pumpkin pie this year with the insides of the Jackolantern I carve for Halloween.
It will be a first ;)

It does go by really fast...
My youngest is just 4 years old and this morning was the first time he rode his bike without training wheels!!
We're all so excited.
Like you said, I've read that dinner time is a great way to spend some time together. I don't ever want them to slip away...
HEhe... so, I wanted to start it while they are young, so that they don't fight me about it when they're older.

People that think the universe evolves around them.
People eating with there mouths open.
People that interrupt a conversation that they are not a part of.
Know it all's.
Liers drive me crazy.
And most of all people who talk behind others backs, back stabbers are the worse kind of person in the world.
Someone they says uuuuuggggghhhhhh don't like that when they have never even tried it :( I could go on and on...

Loud chewing!
Standing over me when doing something!
People that no matter what the suject is they have it always go back to them,
Did something beter, had a worse sickness, etc,etc.
Losing stuff.
People that race ahead of you when driving to get to the stop light first, don't make sense!
People that over analyze everything!
Drunks, especially when Im not drinking!
Government officials that don't listen to the people and do what they please.
Closed minded people that can't think outside of the box.
Sandals on men!
When people call on the phone and don't speak don't have anything to say.
Missing socks ,where do they go?
Animal abuse!
Child abuse!
Man I could go on and on!

When people call on the phone and dont speak dont have anything to say.

You are right that is really annoying! I don't like just sitting there silent on the phone! :p

Sandals on men!

!

Goodness Treeny, I thought I was the only one who can't stand on that!! :D

I really hate rudeness. It irritates me when people think being rude is funny or cute. Or those that are so self centered, they don't even have sense enough to know they are rude.

Yummy!

I'm making a Sweet Potato Pie for Thanksgiving. Hopefully my family likes it..lol. Hubby gobbled it up last year.
Double yummy!! With marshmallows on top or brown sugar or both LOL??

Loud chewing!
Missing socks ,where do they go?

I think either the washing machine or drier eats them.
I know one of mine has a hearty appetite;)

Oh yes, this is bothersome!

People who think they are better than others......

I agree with you on this one... including people who think they know everything, won't listen, won't admit mistakes, won't ever apologize, know everything, look down on other people, have no patience and are narcissistic.

"Oops, I'm sorry I thought I thought I was right about this?

Packing... is now high on the list>>>>>grrrrrr

Oh no... good luck. It's always very painful, very... ;)

Double yummy!!! With marshmallows on top or brown sugar or both LOL???

I usually just use marshmallows, but thanks for the brown sugar idea! I am going to have to try that!

And Grumpy husbands, that like to yell and curse... Sheesh...

Airline ticket agents:

"Can I get an upgrade?"

"Sure, I'll treat you with indifference instead of contempt."

And psycho women...
Man!. as a female, I don't understand women most of the time!
Some of them like jerks, want more than a man can give, be controlling, check men's cell phone, fall for married men, don't avoid office relationship,gossip, stay with violent husband and would love someone with no reason(irrational).

I really hate rudeness. It irritates me when people think being rude is funny or cute. Or those that are so self centered, they don't even have sense enough to know they are rude.

I so agree with you on this.



Loud chewing!........

Aaargh.. sound of loud chewing annoys me too.
Not to mention the sound of dragging feet is so annoying.

I have recently noticed that most teens footwear seems so heavy that the poor kids have to drag them whenever they walk!:rolleyes:

Oh no, Firmalishious, I chew my gum really loud and it even annoys me... can we still be friends?

Sure start...
Friendships are too valuable to let little annoyances to break it;)

How about the nine cans of half empty sodas on the counter and only 4 people in the house were drinking the soda! Sheesh...

I am annoyed by people who are judgmental and who preach things that they don't even understand. I am so irked by people who you smile hello at and they stare at you like you are from Mars. I cannot stand when I feel like I have to ask my husband if I can go out with the girls, and its like asking my dad.
I also can't stand it when people are rude and cut you in line, or push in front of you, or don't hold the door, or say please or thank you when you hold it for them. People who are so self absorbed, or men that take more time to get ready than me, that is ANNOYING!
OK, I think I vented here... Have a nice day y'all! OH yeah, ditto to Start with the yelling and cursing thing! CAN'T stand it!

How about the nine cans of half empty sodas on the counter and only 4 people in the house were drinkin the soda! Sheesh....


Must be the kids:)

When my 3 kids go "i'm bored!" and look at me like I'm suppose to be their cruise ship entertainment director. :confused:

Goodness Treeny, I thought I was the only one who can't stand on that!!!!!!!!!:D

Come on now Nice; 1. I'm told that I have "attractive "FEETS". 2. It depends on the sandals Ha

Stringer

packing...IS NOW HIGH ON THE LIST>>>>>GRRRRRR


OUCH again... you caught me. My wife would love you! :rolleyes:

Stringer

I usually just use marshmallows, but thanks for the brown sugar idea! I am going to have to try that!

Cowboys and the Bears next Sunday afternoon... should be a very good game.

Stringer

I hate Fakers, in other words people who talk about other people behind their back to you, so automatically you know they talk about you with other people behind your back.

You don't have to be a rocket scientist figure that out...

Good point Benn.

What I would say is that don't share anything personal with that person because they will publicise it!

What behavior, kind of person, etc. Annoys you the most?

Females. YES ALL OF YOU.

People who walk slow in front of you in the middle of town / pavements / shopping centres - also people who dawdle, then stop dead right in your way (times annoyance a millionfold if talking and/or cackling on a mobile phone) and people who knock into you without saying sorry!

I swear, as God as my witness, I'm going to start heading into town armed with a cattle prod, just like The Mountie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mountie), and WOE BE TIRED SLOW WALKING PEOPLE!

**Zap... ZAAAAAAP**

J always gets his man! Lol!

Females. YES ALL OF YOU.

Is that because we are not as charming as you?:rolleyes:

Charming?

People who never seem to have anythign good happen to them ever, and they like to tell everyone about it... a lot...

Also, people in the grocery store who like to block the whole isle with their cart and then get all huffy with you when you ask if they coul let you through, like it ruined their day...

People who purposefully try to start stuff... instigators for lack of better word...

[QUOTE=]When people call on the phone and don't speak don't have anything to say
Sorry Treeny I'm guilty of that..

I don't think so.. I wasent referring to you..

May I join in and say... oh boy... I didn't know so many things annoy me! I didn't have the energy to read all of the posts, because quite frankly, I was giving myself a headache agreeing with so many! ;)

I'll go with might possibly, but not exclusively, may be my top three!

Abusers, cheaters, liars, and the people that make excuses for their actions, or the actions of others, and blame it on the abused person.

People who buy their pets as an accessory, or an ego boost, and don't have a clue how to care for them... oh, and breeders, and puppy mills, when there are so many homeless pets. I should stop there, before I get carried away. ;)

Young kids who strive to be like Paris, Brittney, Lindsay... and end up with so many self-esteem, and other mental and physical issues.

I said only 3 right? I'll stop now, before my head explodes! ;)

I didn't read all the posts either, it annoys me reading about annoying things. (More later)
Stringer

I just had to agree with that one!:eek:

... horrible English errors.

The lack of proper usage and grammar is also one of my 'pet peeves.' I know I split infinitives and dangle participles... but I get so tired of hearing folks say 'bring' when they mean 'take' (you bring something from there to here, you take something from here to there); say 'gone' when they mean 'went' - or even 'came' (and visa versa). Maybe that's what's going wrong these days: nobody knows if they're coming or going...

People who give me reddies, don't they know I'm always right? ;);););):)

I agree some posts are hard to read,but what comes to my mind is that as this site is used worldwide,we must remember that not everyone's first language is English and that sort of helps take the focus off the wrong terms used.

I am sure many are like me,who actually speak and use a different language at home and English is only a second or third language.:)

I agree Firmy. It's the ones that use text speak, with no punctuation or paragraphs/spaces, that drive me nuts though.

I agree Firmy. It's the ones that use text speak, with no punctuation or paragraphs/spaces, that drive me nuts though.
Ditto!
Text speak is for the cell phone, not email and certainly not message boards and this site. I find that annoying.

...we must remember that not everyone's first language is English and that sort of helps take the focus off the wrong terms used....

I'm not talking about those for whom Eng is a 2nd lang, I'm talking about the instances of atrocious grammar in common use. Not just by those one talks to every day but how the incorrect usages are spread in the media - most egregiously in newspapers, where there are supposed to be editors. It makes one think that grammar class has somehow become an elective, even in grade school.

I know what you mean, and I agree. The grammar young people use is atrocious. Don't they teach it in school anymore?
I don't understand why people think it is appropriate to text rather than spell a word out when not sending a text message.
Etiquette has just gone out the window, which is probably my biggest peeve; Ruddiness
