What are some little things that annoy you, not anything life changing, just small things that get on your nerves. Some of mine are:

Getting respawn killed in Halo
Dropping a pass I shouldve caught
Flat coca-cola
Spiders in the pool
Overtly negative people

What are some of yours?

-People who think they're better than you because they have more of a useless skill than you.
-Religious nuts
-The Press
- That Windows XP sucks more than Windows 98. (Typing this on an 8 year old Win 98 computer, no lag of slowdowns whatsoever compared to the 2 year old Win XP computer in the other room.)
-People who nitpick at everything.

And that's just off the top of my head.

Too much or not enough milk in my cereal. It has to be just the right mix.

Neighbors who play loud music...LOUD.

When drive thru restaurants get my order wrong.....how hard is it to just not put mayo on something???

-Filling a paper plate of food at a barbecue then spilling it all on the ground.
-Finding out the buffet doesn't have any tacos.
-People who are walking stereotypes.
-Country Music.
-Perky people.
-Tobacco.

Ignorant people
Excessive perfume
Smacking of the lips
Stubbornness to accept being proven wrong
Women who feel the need to advertise "Bitch on Board"
Double standards
Sheep

I find this post neato because each line gets proportionally shorter with each answer. It's like backwards stairs.

damnit...i always get weird like this when I have heartburn.

A flow of cold air under the shower curtain.

Getting model glue stuck in a detail brush, superficial scratches on my fingers, and torn book jackets.

I see your point, but was it intentional?

hmm....good question *shifty eyes*

mostly-empty bottles of flat soft drink left in the fridge, because someone is too lazy to finish it off and throw the bottle out.

Screaming children on the morning train - I understand it can't be helped, but I've usually only just woken up, and it is rather uncomfortable to say the least.

When I warm up a pie, cut it up and take a bite to find the inside still frozen and a taste like dog food in my mouth.

I thought the organization would make it easier to read and make it easier for people to agree with me.

Country music really is awful isn't it?

How do you know what dog food tastes like?

*nods in agreement*

More so the visible texture than the taste, though I suspect that the ingredients in both aren't all that different.

How did I know someone was going to ask that?

I hate it when a black fly lands in my chardonnay.

people who assume things

people who string paperclips together (esp. MY paperclips)

kids who aren't respectful to adults

people who pick at their sores

people who whine about stuff

poorly planned events

disorganized people

people who eat without silverware (like picking up the pork chop to eat the meat off the bone......yuck!)

people who complain about things they have the power to change but are too lazy to change it

burned out lightbulbs (long story)

moths by my porch light

the way my dog smells after it rains

people who put a pen that doesn't work back into the pen holder

people who can't do basic math

people who are late

that stupid beepy thingy my car does when I don't buckle in fast enough

people who leave like an ounce of milk in the carton

people who leave 2 peices of ice in the tray



okay seriously again, I have to stop, my whole list would be way too long.......:p

Did you have to think about this list for awhile or did it all come quickly?

very quickly. I have a list seriously of the top 1000 things that annoyed me this week, those are just things that annoyed me today.

I had to think a few minutes for the few of mine that I listed. But heres some more:
The bluescreen of death appearing for no reason
Broken links on webpages
Getting assigned a partner even lazier than I at school
Getting stupid busy work projects

What's wrong with that? If there's meat on the bone that you can't get at, pick it up and eat it, don't throw it out.

I take it you don't eat much asian food, either. :p

I laughed when I read that becuase my parents used to yell (and sometimes still do) yell at me for picking up my pork chop and eating it. I even used to slather mashed potatoes on top so it would make an even more efficient meal.

:eek: snip :eek:
You described me!

-Religious nuts

Like the God Warrior from Trading Spouses?

I will now reply to those in order.

I saw one of those in networking! They did a Print Screen and made it the backgruond.
Espescially on porn pages..
That does suck.
I like to finish them fast and feel smart.

yes :headbang:

The proletariat: Filthy, filthy, filthy, uncivilized things. Fortunately, the gates and snipers seem to keep them at a fair distance most times, but the mere knowledge that they exist is still quite loathsome.

Wealthy persons who feel guilty at their own material success, but not guilty enough to give up their money, and so turn to leftist politics to assuage the hollowness of their own lifestyles.

You just made flashback to an old Mel Brooks movie:

Servant: Sire, the peasants are revolting....

King: You said it. They stink on ice.

Mr Moore, Donald Trump? Nahhh.

Must have been an irritating week...
I had to deal with people a lot this week, basically the only people who don't annoy me regularly are my kids, and my husband. I am a very nit picky person, most of the time though I can keep my mouth shut about it, so nobody knows that they annoy me. (unless they read my blog, but then I don't give the people who most annoy me the address to do so. )

at home I cut the meat off the bone before I cook it so that they don't have to pick it up, and even if they did it wouldn't annoy me so much but, the person who did it this week had dentures, so in addition to my annoyance with picking up your food, they made the smacky sound that irks me and also you could hear their teeth jostling around in their mouth, it was gross. I am thinking that's an at home with your family who loves you activity, not an "in the middle of a crowded restraunt" activity.

or..I just notice too much stuff.....



I take it you don't eat much asian food, either.
depends what qualifies as "asian food", we eat a lot of asian inspired food, but I cook it and I'm not Asian, so I guess that doesn't count.

My husband spent some time in Japan doing mission work, so it doesn't bother me if he eats with chopsticks, or slurps his noodles, but then again I am in love with him, so he hardly ever annoys me.

lol - my dad in particular encouraged it. Not picking up the whole thing and munching on it like that, of course, but once you've cut into it and can't reach the remaining meat...

I wouldn't do it in a formal setting though, but considering that I generally avoid those, I dont have any problems. :p

OK, that would be annoying. :p

There are generally a lot of "finger foods" (I dont know if that's Australian slang, so eh)...you could technically eat them with chopsticks, but why bother when your hands are far more efficient? :p I suppose some people would find that repulsive.

Even with things like chops?
yep, and even with bbq ribs.....it annoys me that much.

finger foods don't annoy me if you take small bites and aren't knawing on them. I can do fine with people picking up food that's meant to be picked up, but when they pick up something like their steak and start sucking the sauce off it......well, it's gross.

Well I've seen people use a fork when eating pizza so I guess some are strange. Thinking someone will use anything but their hands when eating things like onion rings is just like silly. Let me explain it this way: :p

But the whole point of leaving the bones in meat when it is prepared is so that (when most of the meat has been eaten off) you can chew those last bits of fat and muscle off the bone. Preferably making soft snarling and slurping noises while you do so.
