Ask Me Help Desk - What annoys you the most

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

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.

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!

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.

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

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

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.

I'm with you on this one.

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):)

Very good post.

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).

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!

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

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!

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, and WOE BE TIRED SLOW WALKING PEOPLE!

**Zap... ZAAAAAAP**

J always gets his man! Lol!

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...
