What is it that REALLY annoys you?

We all have things that we hate, can't stand and really bother us.

For me, I really hate going clothes shopping with my partner. She'll see 2 or more things that she likes, then she'll spend what seems like forever deciding which one to buy. I like this color, but I like that style. This is beautiful, but where would I wear it, besides the other one is on sale. I end up going for a walk and asking her to call my cell when she's done.

So what's one thing that really annoys you?

    You know, it's bad enough when someone cuts you off, but what I really hate is when you get to the traffic light and that SOB ends up being first at the light. Of course, they're turning left and you need to turn right. Dammit!

    I do not like people who are making mistakes but instead of asking for apology, they are taking a mood that we have made a big mistake by catching his mistake. I hate these kind of people who does not confess.

    People who absolutely have to chatter at you while you are trying to write are primo annoying. Also annoys me when I bring home ingredients for a meal and go to make the meal and someone ate one of the ingredients so you have to go back to the store to make the meal.

      Meanderthal man! Particularly during rush hour.
      These are the people with those trolley bags at transport hubs (railway stations, airports etc).

      You would have thought dragging a bag-on-wheels behind them would act like a stabilizer.
      A kind of rudder - but no.
      Dragging that bag behind them causes them to meander - aimlessly and randomly.

      It is impossible to predict where they will veer next so it becomes impossible to avoid them.

      If a person turns sideways it is only their sideways profile you have to negotiate along a busy corridor.
      If that same person drags a trolley bag behind them their sideways profile grows enormously.

      That bag seems to make them all absent minded. Can't think ahead at all.
      Arrive at stairs.
      Stop.
      Think - Oh, I have to pick up bag.
      Drag bag upright.
      Queue developing behind them.
      Collapse handle into bag.
      Queue growing behind them.
      Pick up bag.
      Queue growing behind them.
      Zig-zag randomly down the stairs so nobody can pass.
      Queue growing behind them.
      Get to last step.
      Stop.
      Queue growing behind them.
      Put bag down again.
      Queue growing behind them.
      Extend handle out from bag.
      Queue growing behind them.
      Begin walking diagonally from last step.
      Force of crowd on stairs now causing people to tumble over trolley bag which hasn't started to move yet.
      Keep meandering randomly while bag begins to move off from bottom step behind them.

      Remain resolutely ignorant of any inconvenience caused behind them with their random zig zag meanderings.

      Meanderthal man!

      Hmmmm, where to start, well apart from the A*** that hide all the really interesting stuff, in our world, there is also this...

      People that use the F word as much as humanly possible in a sentence!!!

      I use it on rare occasions, (or with my Laptop, PC occasionally) but trying to destroy the human language with this word, doesn't give them control or power over their environment, as they are hoping, but does the opposite.

      Spending all day saying F*** won't change anything apart from a infringement notice, and a sore tongue.

      I did live near people like this once, when they got bored instead of getting off their, (you know what's) they instead got reasonably drunk and tried to throw and catch kitchen knives to each other! Obviously they eventually missed, and one went to hospital with cuts on his arms!!!

      I did try to help him, saying that the music he wrote, would be great for a website, but he wasn't interest.

      It seems that some people would rather get drunk and do stupid things with their time, than hard work, that would either directly or indirectly give them a good chance of having more financial options!

      So, stupidity and wasting time, are at the top of my list!!!

      One person couldn't be bothered and spends 5 years of his live watching sport and doing stupid things, and someone else spends most of his time working hard and retires after 5 years online!!!

      Shane

      PS l hate the underarm thing as well, on rare occasions in the shopping centre l go to is someone, who doesn't realize that the women near him, don't have something in their eye, it's just that they can't escape!!! Or cannot get the safe 2 metre distance!

      And l thought of another one, people that get very close behind you in a quiet and peaceful que, and scare you half to death by answering their mobile phone. Or almost yelling at who ever.

      Hmmm, in this instance the F word is necesscary!!! :rolleyes:

      Hmmm, had that happen to me in AU, where we have installed the silly roundabouts, everywhere.

      4 cars drove up to a large roundabout, at the same time, and according to the give way to the right rule, no one could move!

      Eventually a guy in a ute, thought stuff this, and screeched off, then we all went!

      Also hate 4 wheel drive's, because it's virtually impossible to see around them!!!!

    For me, it'd have to be debating with people who half-ass listen and as a result, they take your words, flip them around to make them mean what they want them to mean and base their rebuttal on that.

      I get annoyed with the substitution of the word "then" when "than" is the more appropriate word to use. Usually, the main body of copy is well written. It's annoying when I get to a sentence like: "Most Americans take more vacations days then sick time. . ."

        Tell me about it! That really annoys me too lol There was this kid in Coles the other day, and he kept making loud screeching noises. Every 5 or 10 seconds, he would screech, and he had the most annoying pitch. His mum just stood there and did absolutely nothing. What is the point of parenting if your going to let your brat kids do whatever they want?!

        Yeah, that is at the top of my list! Nothing worse than going to a quiet coffee shop, (in a shopping center) and have a mother that takes a chance and goes into the coffee shop, instead of at the entrance, with a baby or two.

        Inevitably one of them starts up, and the restful hour reading a paper and contemplating what needs to be done next online, is shot to hell!!!!

        I know that they don't to go to the food court, or maccers, probably for the same reason, but! :rolleyes:

    The chewing with the mouth open thing, disgusting, I have a mate who does it and it makes my skin crawl.

    People on roundabouts who come from your right, you give way, and they turn off onto your exit without indicating. You could've gone, had you known they would turn. They're just selfish/lazy "expletives"! My Nan used to ask if there was a factory producing these cars that didn't have working indicators.

      Yea, l have also gone through that one! I went to a restaurant and got a coffee, and before long a large group sat down about one or two tables up, with a screaming 3 or 5 year old girl.

      Every 30 seconds or so after she had a chance to recover, she would scream at high pitch, and no one at the table seemed to care? :rolleyes:

      There were people closer than me, to this that left after 15 minutes of this, and after half and hour, of them waiting to at least shove something in her face, l left as well.

      At the checkout we all joked about it and the staff picked up on it, and asked them to leave.


      Ok, obviously at this point you would think that they might think, hmmmmm, maybe this is annoying people!!!!:rolleyes:


      But no; l went to Coles later, (supermarket) and there it was again screaming away!!!!! Arrrrgggg.


      I think that security should ban these so called parents that don't give a s*** about anyone but themselves, or are too deaf to realize how loud it is, from shopping centres, etc.

      Or force parents to take a "How to shut up your kid, in 5 seconds or less" course!

    People who are first at the lights, then when it goes green they just sit there. You're 5 cars back hoping to get through. Sometimes I'm right behind them and can literally count 5 seconds. If I'm not in a hurry, sometimes I just sit there to see how long it takes them to realize. Then I watch as only they get through the light. See this so much it's ridiculous.

    If you beep them, you can see them quickly grab the gearstick in panic...

    What do these people do? Window shop from the car? Don't they know that it's a visual signal, not an audible one? Come on, you're at the front, WATCH THE LIGHTS.

    People that talk to you from another room. They expect you to reply, obviously in a raised voice of your own, which you don't want to hear even though it's your voice. Why don't they just come to the same room and speak normally?

    The more common variant is when someone in the same house calls to someone in another room rather than go find them. You, trying to relax or concentrate, are shocked into anger at the sudden noise and lose the mindset to do anything intelligent as a moronic conversation follows that you have to listen to.

    Something like, "JOE!"
    "JOE!"
    "WHAT?"
    "COME HERE."
    "WHAT?"
    "COME HERE!"
    "WHERE?"
    "HUH?"
    etc.

      Yeah, l get that all the time with right hand turners! They just seem to take a nap, and by the time they and one or two other cars get through, you are stuck there.

      I have occasionally beeped some, l think that they should make the green arrow blink, might wake them up!!! :rolleyes:
