Things that get on my nerves (add your own)

[OC]

1 - Advertising. "It's the BEST Cavalier EVER!!!" Yeah, like they're going to say it's WORSE than last years model.

2 - Car insurance. Driving is a priveledge, not a right. I have not had one single driving incident in over 10 years. Why, then, did my rates go up 12% the last time I renewed? Other bad drivers, that's why. So, I'm helping to subsidize keeping bad drivers on the road. F em and take them off the roads, I say. My after-tax money should go to ME, or things I WANT to spend it on, not supporting people that endanger others.

3 - People in a professional working environment that refuse to use spell check.

4 - That "love" = "diamond ring". Love is foot rubs, breakfast in bed, a love note you find in your briefcase during a boring meeting, weekend getaways... you get the idea.

5 - Bad coffee. Hello, is it really so hard to say "French roast"? Pick a brand - any brand. You can't go wrong with French roast. It's like pizza at a work party. 2 combo, 2 cheese, 3 pepperoni. Not everyones first choice perhaps, but it's universal enough that it'll all get eaten, and probably without complaints. What the hell is "grand central" blend anyway?

6 - Higher-ups that have no idea their *ss is being kissed. And that it's a weasel doing the kissing. And that it's effective for the weasel.

7 - Weasels.


Ok, all for now.

Anyway, I hate people that chew or eat crunchy foods.

THREADS ABOUT STUFF THAT GETS ON YOUR NERVES

i was waiting for someone to post this.

[jase71]

1.) People who aren't polite. Maybe they think the world revolves around them. Maybe they can't comprehend how their actions affect other people. Maybe they don't care. Regardless, rudeness should be punishable by one broken bone. Victim of the rude person gets to choose the bone, applied immediately.

Manners are the grease that lets society keep functioning. If you can't (or won't) control your temper, you're no better than an animal, and should be treated accordingly.

2.) People who cannot possibly conceive of the idea that they could be wrong. Even faced with evidence that contradicts them. I can understand this when it comes to more abstact issues, like politics. But to insist on the impossible (like setting up a pc for immediate use in a room, a former closet, with no power outlets and no network connection), even when the reasons are explained to you, is just foolish. This is usually followed by much yelling, which they seem to think will create magical solutions previously unthought of...

[Burzhui]

Professors who think they are better then you.

people who chew with their mouth open

[mojo]

i'm not sure if this should be a suckage/nss thread, but i'll add:

25. people that attach their meaning of life to another person. sure, you like that person...they're wonderful, they bring home the bacon, lift cars off you when they're on top of you, and that cute thing with the vibrator and the lampshade...but are they such a big part of your life that you're negated as a person? if that person's name comes up over 45% of the time you open your mouth...you need help.

26. people that smile to your face and stab you in the back. this "mojo, i support whatever you want" then going to the girl i'm trying to get with and talking trash about me...uncool. people talk trash, and i know it (and she knows it :P )...but i could do without the fake smile to my face. and no, i'm not right now talking behind their backs cuz i say the same to their faces ;).

27. the whole thing about "mojo, why do you always have to be right!?!?!" newsflash: your ass thinks i always have to be right because you also always have to be right. have a nice day.

28. being schitt on by an ex. i don't talk a lot of trash without balance about my exs. i'll say "this is what they did" and add "but i also did this" to give a sense of balance. not each time, but the people that i actually talk to also hear me lament stuff that i had done to them...so it comes out even or at least close. but in my travels ( :P ) i've learned that some of them talk pretty bad about me...and that kinda bugs. they can think whatever they want about me...it's their right. but if they tell others, that could be an automatic prejudice against me right there. a lot of people buy this stuff, and it kinda sucks. i find myself having to try to care less about the relationship that we had "back in the day"...which sucks because that's time in my life i have to concede. *sigh*

29. ingrates. just so peeps know, i don't do stuff and axe for stuff in return, let alone expect it. but after a while, it would be nice to get a nice gesture or whatever in return. if i go out of my way to do something for someone, thanks is nice...but if they return the favor, it's nicer. we're not talking a 1:1 ratio here. we're talking like if i do stuff over a long period of time, there should be something that happens. and when i say "out of my way," i'm not talking about stuff i found on morpheus and burned or whatever...i'm talking about like looking for something for months, finding it, wrestling outta someone on ebay, and having the big surprise thing. you know...actual effort and stuff.

30. people dragging their feet when they walk. walking is not an activity that people should hear from long distances. once in a while is one thing, but every damned time they walk!? gimme a break. they sound like a toy train coming up the walk...*choo-choo-choo-choo*

-People who want to be the CEO without first being the mail boy..

-People who go to the grocery store to buy stuff like duct tape when they make places like LOWES AND HOME DEPOT for exactly that purpose
-People who bitch because the airbrushing on their 50 dollar fingernail job didn't turn out right even though their nails are loaded with DIRT.

well aren't they? (at least in what they are teaching you would assume so). Perhaps it's because you are talking about my livelihood.

Stupid People (you know who you are) ;)

[YanksFanRy]

Being forced to repeat myself - I hate it when people ask me the same question or similar questions over and over. I don't like to be redundant and I feel that if you are trul listening to me once should be sufficient.

Being repeated to - I don't like being told to do something over and over. Give me some time dammit.

I've never tried this but I've heard that if a movie is bad and you can't stomach watching the whole thing you can complain to the manager and get passes to another movie. Could be an urban legend - hey, urban legends are also things that get on my nerves - but worth a try.

Yup - that's it. I haven't written a check in a grocery store in years. Come on people - use your debit card :angry:

- Telemarketers
- Those noisy motor-powered scooters

- Arizona politicians
- Pop-up ads
- Truck Drivers on the freeway doing 61mph that take 5 minutes to pass another truck doing 60mph, blocking your ability to pass!
- Kids that knock on your door trying to sell magazines giving the same old tired "...and it helps keep us off the streets" malarky.

Chicks talking on cell phones while driving. I see them all the time while running and it scares the crap out of me. Also, I'd say between 20%-25% of all women drivers seem to be talking on the phone while trying to navigate their vehicles.

then of course there's the overuse of the word "ghetto" by peeps who prolly have no idea what the afforementioned "ghetto" really looks like. i guess it's more apparent with the above mentioned peeps that sound...out of place :P

[whitak24]

man, you guys are pretty thorough (sp?)

i can't really think of anything ....oh wait, i lied. here goes:

1.) slow drives, especially in the left lanes. if it's a four-lane road, and you're in the far left lane, you better be doing at least 10 over (unless there's a traffic jam).

2.) female service professionals who don't recognize my existance. listen, i don't expect waitresses, clerks, store employees, etc, to be flirting with me, acting overly friendly, chatting me up, etc. but you could at least look in the general direction of my face/eyes and act like i'm there, instead of trying to see how little time you can spend at my table taking my order. i don't think i'm SO ugly that i should scare you away.

3.) telemarketers who ask for you like it's the most boring thing they've ever done. i mean, i know it's boring and their job sucks, but every now and then, i run into a chipper one and they actually suck me into their spiel.....it makes it SO hard for me to tell them no and hang up. but the bored ones....i've hung up before they've even told me what they're selling.

4.) the RIAA

5.) the stupidity of UPS and FedEx

6.) store employees who look at your like you're stupid if you ask them if they have more of an "on sale" item in the back

ok, i'll quit now. i could go on and on. but i'll stop.

funny thing...and this is off that subject...but funny thing is that sometimes i'll get one that flirts with me, like, excessively. now, i know sometimes they're just friendly n stuff...and i can tell that they're just doing it cuz of their job n stuff. but sometimes i'll get one that flirts with me like...if i asked her number i'd get it (like you know you can tell when this happens). the funny part is that i have this friend that downplays every little thing i say. so of course she says "oh, they're trained to do that." and so i'm all "well she brushed my hand giving me change, looked me in the eye when she did, gave me more attention than the other male patrons, etc." and of course she's all "because she wanted a bigger tip" :heh:...i'm like if that were true, she's getting smaller tips from all the other guys in the joint in order to get fitty more cents from me :heh:

so i guess i'll add that to my list: friends that poo-poo your stuff.



6.) store employees who look at your like you're stupid if you ask them if they have more of an "on sale" item in the backdouble word there. as if this doesn't happen. they do that with any item you ask for regardless of the sale. sometimes i'll actually tell them "hey, i don't know your stocking practices...you do...which is why i asked."
