So we've got a thread about songs that bug you and a thread about everyday things that skeeve you out and a driving pet peeves thread, so how about one for just random things that bug or annoy you?

What random (and possibly minor) things just bug the crap out of you?

Mine?


Comic sans font. Haaaaaate it! It's just super annoying.
When someone says the same thing I just said, making it clear they weren't listening to me.

Having just returned from vacation, my current one is people pushing big honkin' strollers at about 2.3 miles per hour and/or stopping in the middle of the aisle/path/walkway/whatever. MOVE, people, you can't be that unaware of how much space you are taking up! If I can make sure I get my daughter out of your way while I tie her shoe, please show the same courtesy!

And for a petty stupid one, I hate the way if there are 4 bowls in the dishwasher, the first one will be clean, the last one will be clean, and the two in the middle are still dirty. Does the water not reach them? Are those crumbs just more tenacious than the others? :wtf:

I'm not a fan of Comic Sans either. :shuffle:

Here's a random thing that bugged me yesterday. I went into a mall bathroom with a new mom friend from the kids' school. She was using a stall on one side of the bathroom, and I was on the other. The woman in the stall next to me cut the loudest, most obnoxious fart. I don't think my friend thought it was me, but she could have. :dunno: :lol:

Is that random enough? :lol:

Barb
November 8th, 2006, 01:57 PM
OK, here's one. I hate being in a public restroom where there are dozens of empty stalls, and someone picks the one right next to mine.

Stacey
November 8th, 2006, 01:59 PM
Yeah, that was the other thing, Barb. There were many open stalls. But Miss Big Fart came into the one right next to me.

I understand that sometimes, ya just gotta fart. It was just funny b/c someone I was just getting to know was there with me and positioned where it totally could have sounded like it was me. :lol:

Stacey
November 8th, 2006, 02:06 PM
It bugs me that many rainy days here seem to happen on a Monday. You know those perfect days for just sitting at the house all dry and cozy and being a bum? I need those to happen on a Friday, the day we can stay home. (I would not like them to happen on Saturday or Sunday though, thanks. :) )

Brandi Jo
November 8th, 2006, 02:07 PM
Gee, do you guys hate me because Comic Sans in my favorite font?

When people mispronounce words..."go waRsh your hands"
people who sing along with a song and have no idea what the words are

I could go on way too long with this...what does that say about me?

Nichole
November 8th, 2006, 02:08 PM
Miss Big Fart :lol2: Classic. I'm wiping tears from my eyes. :lol:

I hate when you're at the grocery checkout and the person who is just finishing up is taking their sweet time to get the hell out of the way so I can swipe my card and stuff. Conversely, I also hate it when the person behind me is all up in my grill. :lol:

Barb
November 8th, 2006, 02:09 PM
Guess you better call me Judy again, I was going to say what Nichole said about 'close standers'.

I hate to come home from taking Alyssa to school and find that my wonderful most loving husband couldn't FLUSH the toilet after using it when he woke up.

I hate finding that it is wednesday and we forgot to put the trash out last night :duh:

I can't stand when I am talking to someone and they are really close..Dude...I need some personal space!

Karri
November 8th, 2006, 02:28 PM
Miss Big Fart :lol2: Geez...she could have excused herself. Her mom & dad never taught her manners, apparently.

Boy...apparently mine are not unique:
* comic sans (ha ha, Brandi)
* PEOPLE WHO YELL IN EMAILS
* peole who talk just to hear themselves talk
* when my husband sings the wrong words, totally clueless to the fact that they are no where even close to the right words and if he'd listen to himself, he'd realize that they made no sense :duh:
* parents & caregivers who don't watch their kids at the park/playground and said kids are mowing over my kids every 2 seconds.

when my husband sings the wrong words, totally clueless to the fact that they are no where even close to the right words and if he'd listen to himself, he'd realize that they made no sense :duh:


Brendon does this too, and it drives me nuts! Mostly because he sings loud so I can't even hear the real song! And then he gets all huffy when I ask him, "Who sings this song?" so he'll shut up. :giggle:

Speaking of emails... Email forwards! Especially the chain letters! :gah:

Bev
November 8th, 2006, 02:35 PM
Who's Judy? :scratch:

I too hate the slow moving people. It drives me CRAZY when I pick up MIL and it takes her forever to lock her front door and then when she gets in the van she starts taking her sweet ass time putting her keys in her purse and I'm like PUT YOUR FIGGIIN SEATBELT ON SO WE CAN GO ALREADY!!!! :gah: Movemovemovemovemove! My biggest fear is I'll turn into some doddering slow moving old woman.

Bev
November 8th, 2006, 02:36 PM
Oh Nichole, especially the email forwards from 6 years ago that Snopes said was an urban legend 6 years ago! Don't send me that crap!

Lynn
November 8th, 2006, 02:40 PM
Ack. Email forwards are among my top rated. Most are from my aunt, and most are man bashing types. Hate them.

I hate it that my husband seems to conveniently forget to load his breakfast dishes into the dishwasher.

It really, really, REALLY bugs me when people forget that there's a G in the word strength. STRENTH is not a word.

There's a girl on another site I belong to who Uses Random Capital Letters in her Sentences and It really, Really bothers me.

Darcy
November 8th, 2006, 02:44 PM
:nod: Add me to the list of email forward haters.

Stupid automated phone calls.

People who just stand behind you as you try to usher a toddler and a stroller through a store door that doesn't have an automatic opener.

Brandi Jo
November 8th, 2006, 02:56 PM
You know what really annoys me?? All you Comic Sans haters! :lol:

When my children scream, just for the sake of screaming! Ha, yeah, it's funny!

Really? You realize that by Admitting This, Bridget is going to do This just to annoy the Piss out of You. :lol:

Lynn
November 8th, 2006, 03:00 PM
But Bridget does it to be funny (and piss me off, but in a way that makes me not want to kick her butt) but this chick does it because she thinks it's supposed to be that way. :shuffle:

Michele
November 8th, 2006, 03:20 PM
Wow! I had no idea there were such problems with comic sans...I must say that is something I have never thought about! :lol:

1. My husband also doesn't know any song lyrics, it drives me crazy, b/c that doesn't stop him from singing and making up his own words. As a result of this, Jackson thinks the words to "Where is Thumbkin?" are "How are you today sir? Very well I thank you, do de do, do de do... :rolleyes:

2. People reading over my shoulder while I am on the computer

There are so many more things, but I am blanking at the moment.

Stacey
November 8th, 2006, 04:46 PM
Mosquitoes bug me. :hehe: But seriously, folks, they annoy the crap outta me.

Nichole
November 8th, 2006, 05:01 PM
Badump bump ching! Tip your waitress! :hehe:

They drive me nuts, too. Mosquitoes and june bugs, with their crashing into walls when I'm trying to sleep. :lol:

I hate when people call me and demand to know who I am. No, buddy, you called me. You tell me who you are, then I tell you who you've got on the phone.

Clare
November 8th, 2006, 11:26 PM
Miss Big Fart :lol2:

- it bugs me that Oprah refers to Gayle as "my best friend Gayle" every freakin time. I think we know that by now!

- my mother's emails bug me. Well my mother bugs me in general :lol:, but especially her emails. She types hunched over the keyboard watching her fingers rather then the screen and doesn't proof read, so her emails ard a junbled medd thit neefs decipjeting (a jumbled mess that needs deciphering :lol: ) And someone has recently taught her how to sms (I will kill that person when I discover who it was!!) and I now get several unintelligble texts a day THAT ARE ALL TYPED IN CAPITAL LETTERS!!!! :pullhair: I just got one now that asks "DO U NO WHAT VEG FRUIT FOOD HAS MOST NIACIN IN IT" :gah:

- chain letter emails :rolleyes: especially the ones that call me a heartless bitch for not forwarding it on

Karri
November 8th, 2006, 11:27 PM
oooh! I have one! Rude cellphone talkers. I want to smack the thing off of them like its some slug :lol: I have a friend who has it attached to her 24/7 for no good reason. One time, I yelled at her. She recently had a PT job and got fired from it b/c she got caught talking on the cell phone in the coat closet :giggle: She said, "can you believe it?" I said, "um, yeah. i can. you're always on that damn thing."

Wow! I had no idea there were such problems with comic sans...I must say that is something I have never thought about! :lol:

me either ... i guess it's a good thing i recently changed that ...

what bugs me ... when the person in front of you in the gorcery line does not put the divider bar thingy [is there a name for this :dunno: ] down ... when it is in their reach but not yours ... so 4/5 of the belt is available for your full cart of groceries ... and they stand there ...

and as was posted prior ... when the person in front of you has a 5 minute conversation with the chatty checker about everything under the sun after they are done checking out and paying ... and you are sitting there waiting, waiting, waiting ...

and there are many other random things that bug my anal mind ... but this close to bed ... and checking the boards ... that's all for my post ...

Bev
November 9th, 2006, 09:33 AM
Stupid people bug me. :giggle:
I'm trying to get over that because to me, that is most people! :lol:

Even though I have super low blood pressure, stupid people get me to just low blood pressure. It's not good for my health. Now I just :rolleyes: and go on my merry way! :lol:

This thread is :rotflmao:

Random Pet Peeve #1: I hate it when people repeatedly say my name while we are talking to each other. It drive me nuts. I know they say that you are supposed to say the person's name to whom you are talking b/c people like to hear their own name, but I say whoever came up w/ that dumbass idea is an egotistical idiot who just liked to hear their own name a lot. B/c I hate it. Drives me nuts.

Brandi Jo
November 9th, 2006, 01:08 PM
Why would you hate it when someone calls you by name when speaking to you, Sandy? I just don't understand that, Sandy. Is it because it's positively annoying, Sandy?
Sandy, Sandy, Sandy....la la la :heee:


Okay, sorry, back to your regularly scheduled topic.

Brandi Jo
November 9th, 2006, 01:09 PM
Yeah, reading that, I could see that it would be a little annoying. Kinda like having the kid stand there and say "Mommy, mommy mommy mommy" over in the same monotone.

Okay, my pathetic attempt at humor is over now. Back to lurk mode....

This gets to me once in awhile too. I had a co-worker once who did that, only he always called me by the wrong name! So JEN, what do you think? Jen, I think this is a good idea. You know, Jen, we should look into xyz. Ahh!

Karri
November 9th, 2006, 02:43 PM
Barb - ditch the bar soap. it'll take care of the issue :lol:

Silke - ants or mice? I can't decide what's worse? I've never had ants, but I am really hating this mice thing.

The Blood Center...calling my cellphone every evening at 6pm (like clockwork) to see if I want to donate. Hrm....didn't I tell you I wasn't eligible and I would call when I am? QUIT HARASSING ME!

November 9th, 2006, 03:10 PM
Karri, our blood center has been calling since around the time Jeremy was born. It's gotten to the point where Riley tells me she doesn't want to talk to them when they call.

And we're having mice issues, too. :errr: Creeps me out.

What gets me is that I want to donate but they won't let me. They think I have Mad Cows Disease cause I lived in the UK in the early 90's. Well we all know I'm a mad cow, but I digress :lol: Anyway, they still call me to ask me to donate and I have to keep telling them that they won't let me :pullhair:

My husband belting out "You are my sunshine" full blast in the grocery store like a tone def child, when we argue about what food to put in the cart after he's bitched that I dont have a list and I've taken the box of super big chocolate bars out. Seriously no one needs a 5lb chocolate baror the headache from his singing!

My nieghbors dog attacking our fence, to get at our dogs. I've told them 6 times already to stop yanking their dog off our fence as its damaging the links. let them sniff it out and their dog will stop the charge at our fence.

Creditors calling for my brother, He doesnt live with me folks, I never gave birth to him, lose this number! I had to tell Ford Canada if they called my house one more time I was going to charge them with harassment. Seriously, I'm not going to pay his bills so why bother calling me after I gave you his cell number? My brother giving me crap for giving them his number...I take perverse pleasure in passing his number on and telling them to delete me from their system. Its the only part of the circle of calls that I enjoy....

The person who uses the auto door button but cant move their ass through the door and blocks the rest of us from leaving at a reasonable pace. If you planned on slowing down in the doorway to turtle pace why didnt you let the rest of us go first?

The guy that goes slow as molasses loading his three items in the grocery store, and then pulls out his VISA to pay for his 5$ worth of groceries even though he has the cash in his hand, while fifty of us wait in line...

Slow Children Playing Signs...How do they know the kids in that area arent as fast as the other kids....

What annoys me is the stupid phone survey person who called two days in a row during dinner then has the nerve to tell me she doesn't need me to yell at her. Then don't take the job chickie, and don't call during dinner and don't tell me I'm yelling when I'm not because I'll start and you don't want that! :mad:

Every time someone calls me by the wrong name, it's Jen. I have a professor who does that now, and I just changed my last name, so I'm hoping when he looks at his gradebook, he can somehow figure out who I am and give me my grade. :lol:

That's funny that you get Jen too. I figure I get it because Jess and Jen are somewhat close. Maybe that is the default name. :lol:

AmyP
November 10th, 2006, 05:05 PM
I'm another who gets bugged by people using my name repeatedly in a conversation. Say it to get my attention, maybe add it for emphasis occasionally, but cut it out otherwise! A mom friend I had last summer used it all the time which drove me NUTS, but she said it was so she could remember it correctly. Of course, half the time she called me Sarah...

Other things that bug me:
- When people say "acrossed." It's across people. No -ed on the end!!!
- e-mail forwards, especially the ones that everybody KNOWS are urban legends. To add to that, my dumb MIL sends them to me and always thanks me profusely when I reply to her ENTIRE MAILING LIST with the snopes link disproving it. :rolleyes:
- when my mom and MIL forward me the same thing because neither of them seem to realize the other one already sent me the dumb link

Darcy
November 10th, 2006, 05:28 PM
Here's one for you:

We recently switched dentists. Well the old dentist's office still calls us about appointments we didn't know they had scheduled. Luckily I was home today and answered because they call to tell you about an appointment you have the next day. Fine. But they're closed on Fridays. :wtf: Basically the receptionist told me they're "in the office, but not really." You can't call to candel your appointment and give them 24-hours notice. And they don't have an answering machine. So you're stuck calling them the morning of your appointment. Yeah, nice business ettiquete.

Nichole
November 10th, 2006, 05:31 PM
What?! I hope they don't also try to charge you for a missed appointment on top of it! :wtf:

Darcy
November 10th, 2006, 05:32 PM
No. They haven't, even though they've threatened to. I told the lady they should call Thursday or get an answering machine and told her to feel free to cancel our unknown appointment for tomorrow.

I have one that I remembered this morning. I hate it when the seat belt in the car gets twisted! You can't untwist it without pulling the whole thing out, trying to fold the belt in half and get the clip to go over the fold and get it back to normal. It drives me crazy!

Today at the grocery store the woman ahead of me stood back far enough that I couldn't get at the divider to put my items on the belt. And then the cashier would only let the belt go so far before stopping it again.

There's a cashier "rule" here that they will not start scanning your groceries until you completely unload your cart. So they sit there (cashiers here have seats), with a dumb smile on their faces, while you're frantically trying to fit all your crap on the belt, piling things three feet high, wondering why the hell they don't get the concept of "moving things along."

This is hilarious!!! Who came up w/ that dumbass rule?

As to the Grease reference, everyone and their brother sang...Look at me I'm Sandra Dee....lousy with virginity.... to me growing up. Especially bad since my name was Sandra Lee. :puke: I can add that to things that bugged me, since most people don't do that anymore. Outdated, I guess????

Cami
November 14th, 2006, 03:57 PM
Today I realized there's an amendment to yesterday's rule: Even if you've unloaded all your groceries, they won't start scanning them until the person in front of you has bagged all his groceries and moved out of the way. Today both the cashier and I stood at the checkout, smiling blankly at each other for about 2 minutes, cashier's hand holding my first item and all ready to go, but he wouldn't scan anything until the slowpoke in front of me got his stuff all packed up.

New peeve here - dull scissors. How do they all seem to go dull at once? And I have a special pair that fits in my knife block, have never been able to find another pair that fits correctly in there so it's not like I can just replace them, so I spend my days cutting up sandpaper (Hint: speedy knife sharpening method!) just to keep these scissors useable.

Cami, you are killin me. :rotflmao: That is hilarious!!!

Pet Peeve of the day - when lightbulbs POP when you turn them on and they are burned out. The POP always scares me. Plus, the whole being burned out thing. Annoying.

The POP is scary :nod: , plus when you hear that sort of grating, crunchy sound when you twist the bulb out and you know you've broken the freaking thing in its socket. (or does that only happen to me?)

I can't stand the sound of someone chewing ice. I want to throttle them.

Oh, ice chomping is a big no-no for me :nono: I have to leave the room or I will throttle the person!

A few more I thought of:

- when the only bottle of wine in the house has gone off
- kreatyv spelling of traditional names
- when people use traditional spelling with a different pronunciation. There's a girl at school called Eliza, but they pronounce it Eleeza. The parents get really annoyed when people call her Eh-ly-za but I don't think they have a right to, cause that's the correct pronunciation of the name! They should have spelled it Eleeza if that's how they want it said.:crazy:

But Bridget does it to be funny (and piss me off, but in a way that makes me not want to kick her butt) but this chick does it because she thinks it's supposed to be that way. :shuffle:

Perhaps I should read the whole thread prior to responding.

People who don't read the whole thread before responding. :biggrin:

Serial posters. :biggrin: (j/k)

Fine, fine, fine, I'll stop. :heee:

People/kids who poke me with their finger. I have always HATED that.

People who heat up/eat VERY smelly foods at the office and then gas out the whole floor. :puke:

Being yelled at by someone and made to feel like it was my fault they acted like a jerk. :complain:

This thread was extremely entertaining! :giggle:

Okay things I hate:

When people start calling you by a nickname they have overheard someone else call you, when they have just meet you themselves! :loser:
When people yawn with out covering their mouths
People that ring you for no reason what.so.ever and just start randomly blabbing with out even asking if it was a good time for a chat :talking:
My husband dropping hints he is hungry for dinner instead of just asking if it was okay for me to get started on it!
People that go on and on with their point and when you try to have input in the conversation they stop paying attention
Okay I better stop now before someone says they hate when people going on and on about things they hate :heee:

People who ring the wrong phone number and when you ask them who it is they ask you the same thing.

People who talk while they are chewing food. Grosses me out to no end! MIL did this repeatedly when visiting recently. I so wished that I could say something to make it go away!

Don't get me started on grocery store complaints. We could probably have an entire thread on them.

Big fat ditto to this. MIL has always called me Aly because for some farking reason she can't seem to learn how to pronounce my name correctly after 8 farking years............ Anyway, my loan person for our new purchase is the mother of my BIL's best friend and she has started calling me Aly except she keeps spelling it ALI.


It drives me crazy!
