Annoyances

So, what are some of the things that annoy you?

1. When people don't keep their OS, or any piece of software on their computer updated. My parents are really bad at this, and why don't they update their computers...because of spyware. Apparently as long as they don't upgrade anything on their computers, they won't get spyware, nevermind the fact that most updates for OS are to prevent spywares...

2. People who think they need to make wide turns. Here's what I mean, lets say you're driving behind someone, and they get to an intersection. Now they're signaling to turn left, but for some reason they have to turn right first, and then make their turn to the left. No, they're not trying to avoid anything...I've never done anything like this in my car, so I don't know why other people do it.

3. People who tickle me. Ok 1. You're not tickling, you're poking. 2. I don't like my personal space being violated.

4. When asked to repeat something, people will either yell, or speak extra slow. I'm hard of hearing idiots, which means I may not catch everything you said the first time around. Most of the time when I ask you to repeat something, just repeat it. You don't need to yell or slow down.

5. Finally, Chemtrails and the idiots who believe that chemtrails are real.

Oh my god, so many things annoy me.

First and foremost right now is Windows Vista.

Second is USC, who is going to the Rose Bowl again, and their stupid fucking fans, and their stupid band. I hate them so much.

When people on this board say "USian." I find that really irritating. There's no point in arguing it anymore, so I kinda just have to grit my teeth and look at another thread for a while or go to /b/ to vent my anger on some poor random person.

When people assume things about me without knowing anything about me except maybe part of my opinion on one issue.

My leaking showerhead. I really need to call the landlady to get that fixed.

My former landlords, who stole my and my friends' deposit money.

The Santa Cruz Party Ordinance. It's ridiculous. And it's also related to...

The Santa Cruz Police Department. I have not had a single positive interaction with them.

Security Guards at Memorial Stadium. They are officious bastards who get off on telling people what to do for no good reason and have become enough of a problem to really start being quite detrimental to the experience of going to a football game there.

Hippies who still think impeaching Bush would do any good at all. Learn2politics, morons.

People who try to get me to smoke. I swear, I'm going to kill someone the next time this happens.

People trying to debate evolution who don't understand jack shit about science. This usually consists of Christian Fundamentalists.

Atheists who act superior to me just because I have spiritual beliefs. Fuck off, assholes.

Religious people who try to convert me to Christianity/Islam/whatever. Fuck off, assholes, I'm fine.

Drunk white supremacists sitting near me in the Santa Cruz Diner. They almost ruined the experience of my burger and milkshake. Almost. Made me feel sorry for the poor evidently-latino busboy who they kept calling "amigo," and treating as if he didn't understand English (which he actually does).

Metalcore bands. And many many other things.

The Santa Cruz Police Department. I have not had a single positive interaction with them.

The only interaction I ever had with them was when they happened to be on campus during The Worst 24 Hours of My Life, while I was intoxicated and screaming at the only person I know that I might hit with my car if I could get away with it. Luckily, my roommate pulled me away from the window and told me to pretend to be asleep, said asshole got hauled down to the drunk tank, and I had the pleasure of receiving a phone call from him at 6 a.m. asking for a ride back to campus--and then hanging up on him.

I didn't know they had white supremacists in SC! How quaint. Or that anything could make the experience of the Santa Cruz Diner worse. And I say that with all due love and gratitude for its 3 a.m. fries.

Never heard of those particular conspiracy-mongers. I'm sure there are easier ways of poisoning the general populace, though. Like chemically treating $20 bills.

They have a house near Pacific ave, I forget precisely where now. I think they do it just to 'freak out the hippies.' There are some in the mountains, too, where everyone under thirty has a shaved head and a pickup truck for some reason.

This dumb financial crisis.

I'm trying to leave my job and I'd been successful for another job but then they've placed all new employment on hold due to the 2009 outlook.

So, underlying that is clearly my current job, for which I've lost all enthusiasm partly because I was leaving in my mind and now I'm not, it's a little disheartening.

So I have an interview tomorrow for another job and I've another offer on top of that though it's not in this country.

Essentially what's annoying me is being in mental limbo, I can't even decide what to do for C'mas and it's beginning to annoy everyone now.

I've only ever had good food at the Santa Cruz Diner. Of course, I don't know how any of their food besides burgers and milkshakes is, so that might be part of it.

And yes, I was shocked that not only were there White Power types in Santa Cruz, but that they were actually talking (obnoxiously loudly and stupidly) about such crap in public.

People who drive 10-20 miles under the speed limit.
Conspiracy theory nut jobs.
People who like Sarah Palin.
People who call me at the radio station at 9 am wanting to request a song while I am playing the top 40. (Are they even listening?)
Drunks who call the radio station while I'm on the air.
Mall shoppers who bang on the studio doors so they can use the bathroom at 5:30 am...
People who make requests for songs they don't even know the name of.
Hmm I think because I got off of work most of them are work related.

Here's a funny coinkydink:
Thomas also detailed how two brothers in Victoria, British Columbia were able to cease chemtrail spraying over their area, by complaining to the International Airport that large aircraft were flying too close together and were a safety hazard. Chemtrails911.com, a website based in Santa Cruz, is one of the better online sources for information on the chemtrail phenomenon, he added.

So, what are some of the things that annoy you?

1. When people don't keep their OS, or any piece of software on their computer updated. My parents are really bad at this, and why don't they update their computers...because of spyware. Apparently as long as they don't upgrade anything on their computers, they won't get spyware, nevermind the fact that most updates for OS are to prevent spywares...

2. People who think they need to make wide turns. Here's what I mean, lets say you're driving behind someone, and they get to an intersection. Now they're signaling to turn left, but for some reason they have to turn right first, and then make their turn to the left. No, they're not trying to avoid anything...I've never done anything like this in my car, so I don't know why other people do it.

3. People who tickle me. Ok 1. You're not tickling, you're poking. 2. I don't like my personal space being violated.

4. When asked to repeat something, people will either yell, or speak extra slow. I'm hard of hearing idiots, which means I may not catch everything you said the first time around. Most of the time when I ask you to repeat something, just repeat it. You don't need to yell or slow down.

5. Finally, Chemtrails and the idiots who believe that chemtrails are real.
Most definitely #2. It gives me serious road rage.

Don't start me Wilgrove.

But one thing that happened today. I got a call today a 11:10 am from a government department saying that I had to come in for an appointment. She said the next available appointment and that I should try to make is at 11:15am today. After looking at the time and telling her that, that was in five minutes time and there was no way I would make it there in time she sighed a deep breath and said "So you don't think you will be able to make it?" I replied with a "no" and asked for the next time. She came back saying that the next time was in 4 weeks time, and I explained how I needed this appointment soon and if I can go to another centre. She said yes and then made an appointment for this (with an exasperated sigh) Friday at another centre later this week. After proceeding to tell me the appointment time and date 10 ten times, each time I replied yes I know when the appointment is, I thanked her and asked if I can ask one more question. She said "yes" and then hanged up on me.

Really fucking idiots and this isn't the only occasion I can tell you when I have ha to deal with these morons in this department, they annoy me to know end. How the fuck do these idiots get hired? I swear there must be some IQ test for this particular department and if you get a result to high (about 80) then you aren't hired because you have to many brains.

Capital "C" Conservatives - not the US ones either, but the ones here who are stupid enough to buy into the party's blatant propaganda, which is built on a base of lies.

MAC users who rave about how great their MAC is but can't validate their claims when asked to compare the technical aspects to the PC, and instead revert to the "day to day" use argument to avoid actually answering the question.

My building manager... I had to take down the election signs DURING the election off my balcony because of some bullshit safety rule, but she won't enforce it on Christmas lights, which are more of a hazard than my two small signs that I had fastened safely to the railing.

People in groups of more than two, who walk side by side on the sidewalk making it impossible to get around them, and don't even get me started on the parents with the over-sized brat pushers - aka, "strollers".

People who can't make an effort when writing to communicate their ideas in a coherent manner. Yes, typos happen, but I'm talking about the morons who can't even be bothered to follow the most basic rules.

Deliberately mispronouncing my name after I told you how to pronounce it. An example of this is one of my husband's first cousins. The kid would not say my name correctly and made a point of trying to annoy me by not saying it right despite that everyone else around him did. I just ignored him, but it becomes impossible to ignore someone when you're FORCED to do asinine family shit, like talk to the little bastard.

I'm sure I could think of more, but... meh.

George Bush Jr. and Senior. 'nuff said.

The terrorists are smart and ever-adapting. So are we. They never stop finding new ways to harm our country and our people. Neither do we.

Also conservatives. The very definition of the word makes it stupid. If the original civilizations were conservative, we would not have democracy today.

A million things annoy me, but this month the leader would be......


The illogical way my husband's department is set up. He is next in line both in position and experience for a promotion only it jumps a pay grade so he can't have it. Which I understand, except that there is NO position for him to move to in the next pay grade up.......none. If he leaves his department there's one but he would have to stay in it for 9 months before he could move up and then he couldn't get into the position he wants because to be in that position you have to BE in his department for 6 months. :headbang: So, there's this position open, but nobody can fill it, not even hubby who is the only person in the company with the experience, education, time in his current position and security clearance. It baffles.

The only way to move up in the company is to quit his job and apply as someone from the "outside" except that wouldn't work either because once you quit the company won't re-hire you. :mad:

Tailgating. Saturday night I was headed to a birthday party. It was dark and the roads were bad, but still there were assholes tailgating me for miles, not to mention the two dumbasses who had their high beams on.

Also, when I got there, one of my cousins had decided he didn't need deodorant that day. I'm trying to eat lasagna and I could smell this dude from three feet away.

Blatant fanservice in anime is also annoying. So are filler episodes. I watch TV for violence and explosions, not panties and school festivals, goddammit.

Joking aside:

-Anyone who acts superior to me, no matter what it is about.
-Christians who think that my political and religious beliefs are wrong simply because they( my beliefs) don't match up with their world view.
-My roommate who insists on leaving everything on/running though he is not around!
-Girl drama that somehow gets back to me.
-Professors who make attendance mandatory. I am paying for my education, if I wish to skip a class then its my loss as I am wasting money on something I am not attending.
-Noobtubers on Call of Duty 4.
- Team killers on CoD4
- Sneezing. When I sneeze I don't do it just once. I do it about 12 times in a row, then stop for about 20 seconds and begin again. Its rather frustrating.

For the same reason that if I publish an article, then use the same idea in another paper, it is plagiarism. It is intellectually dishonest because I am presenting it as an original thought, when it is really a thought that has existed before.

Yes.

1. Historical Revisionism. The right is especially guilty of this. History does not exist to serve your agenda. You dont get to change what happened just so your ideology is less bankrupt. Go hold your head under water until the bubbles stop coming up.

2. Drunk idiots at concerts. Drunk? Fine. But dont be a retard.

3. People who ask me 34895734890573489 times if I have weed at a concert. No. I dont. I dont smoke weed. No, really, I know youre not the cops. Youre way too high to be a cop. Now sod off.

4. People who think the free market solves everything and think the private sector is perfect. Learn2live in reality.

5. People who talk to me about their religion. If I ask questions, fine. If its relevent, fine. But dont come up to me and start talking to me about it and how great it is. I dont care. Christians are especially guilty of this. Serously fuckhead, I havent been living under a rock, I know all about Jesus.

6. People who try and prove God

7. People who dont know anything about science or evolution, ie Creationists/IDers

8. People who think I should QQ for the billionaire who has to pay more than me in taxes. Really, I cry myself to sleep every night for him.

9. Cubs fans. Your team sucks. They will always suck. No matter how well theyre doing, they will choke eventually. Because their the Chicago Cubs. And stop getting drunk on trains to and from Chicago and trying to start fights with me. No, Im not a White sox fan. I dont like the White Sox either. But at least they arent loud and fucking annoying.

When people on this board say "USian." I find that really irritating.

When people assume things about me without knowing anything about me except maybe part of my opinion on one issue.

Hippies who still think impeaching Bush would do any good at all.

Atheists who act superior to me just because I have spiritual beliefs.

All of the above. You almost had me on the smoking thing too, except I'm coming from the opposite direction. It's when I'm smoking and complete strangers come up to me and tell me that 'those will kill you,you know' THANK YOU! NOBODY has EVER told me that before! I've been living a lie! Someone should put warnings on these things! The only thing worse than that is when people ostentatiously cough and then eyeball me like they're expecting me to immediately stub out the nail and then beg their forgiveness.

I only really mind other people smoking if it's inside (because outside it just goes and dissipates into the air), and/or I can't get away from it. Then it's a bit of a respiratory problem for me and becomes an extreme irritation (and irritation is putting it mildly).

Oh, and Bros. Bros really annoy me.

The equally annoying female equivalent of the 'Bro Dude' are the 'Whooo Girls' The plural must be used because you never see just one 'Whoo Girl' by herself. They are only seen in packs. They are usually drinking some disgusting mixed drink(Red Bull and (fill in the blank) are odds-on favorites) and every so often they'll all go 'Whooo" at the top of their lungs, hence the name. If they get drunk enough and feel they are not getting enough attention, they may flash the bar and/or start to kiss each other. If unsure if the group of girls you have encountered are in fact 'Whoo Girls', check for the 'tramp stamp.' If you see a 'tribal' lower back tattoo. you are, in fact, in the presence of 'Whoo Girls.'

Someone mentioned 'tailgating' and I immediately thought of football and was wondering how anyone could be annoyed by tailgating...and then I read the rest of the post and realized they meant people who tailgate, say on the highway.

People who continue to drive in the right lane when they know damn well it turns into a right-turn-only up ahead, then drive over the line and try to force their way in front of you. I drive a gold grandma car made by Honda, you drive a Lexus SUV. Who's got more to lose?
Vanity sizing, and its wide (haha) variance from store to store.
People I've just met who try to hug me. Why are you touching me.
Cupboards that don't close all the way/stick/latch.
Nosy old people who are always in your business.
Unprotected left turns.
People who stop before turning right when the light's green/the right arrow is green.
Dogs smaller than 15 pounds, unless they are puppies that will grow into dogs that weigh more.
People who tell me the same story/line every time I see them. Not like my good friends, who will recount old times with me, but like the woman from the district that's supposed to be my "support" as a new teacher who tells me about her boyfriend, and going to Hawaii, and how long she was in the district, EVERY TIME I see her. I don't care. Unless this relates to an innovative way to keep my kids from choking each other, please assume I am uninterested in your life.
Otherwise tasty food sneakily infected with cilantro that makes me gag.
People who can't tell the difference between Muslims and Sikhs.
People who ask me how old I am, when in a professional setting, like the parents' of my kids. I'm old enough to teach your kids. I'm old enough to HAVE your kids, I'm just not that dumb.
People who say thinly veiled racist/homophobic/bigoted things to me with the bizarre belief that I will "understand where they're coming from" because I'm a middle-class white girl. Also, people who preface racist rants with, "It's just my experience."

Teachers who cannot teach and cannot control the noise in the class.

Physical Education aka officially mandated bullying.

Mickeysoft WinDOS in any version.

Having to do practical exams in WinDOS and not having as much time as the others because I need to connect to one of the 4 Linux-servers, log in there and set things up so I can use things. At All.

My college's lack of support for visually impaired students like me.

Students who make stupid comments if I ask repeatedly if a teacher can either make code visible (ie: huge font size) or out it into the public directory. I use a bigger font for my own coding than the teacher when he uses the projector, I sit in the first row, I can not see it and do not pretend it. I AM visually impaired and that is a real disability, not something for you to giggle about! You fscknuggets!

Courier New! Monospace text should be in Bitstream Vera Sans Mono.

Stupidity! (Especially in myself)

Stupid regulations for small parties to fulfill so they can appear on the ballot sheet.

Cars. (Not just SUVs or something: any cars!)

Government subsidies for car companies,

People who defend the indefensible (ID, Vista, Mac OS as server) despite an utter lack of clue about the topic and who are also unable to learn. The Mac OS X Server screws up file permissions all the time, yet it is considered a great idea by some sheeple.

Memory leaks.

Segfaults.

Any bugs, especially the ones, I programmed (with the exception of my plushed bug called Feature).

Any aches and pains.

Being really tired but unable to fall asleep.

Teamwork, a team of x people will contain more than (x/2) slackers, one or more arrogant, unbearable idiots without a clue and me actually doing the work.

Java Server Pages - it's PAINFUL!

Celebrities, especially those who did nothing for that than look good.

So, what are some of the things that annoy you?

1. When people don't keep their OS, or any piece of software on their computer updated. My parents are really bad at this, and why don't they update their computers...because of spyware. Apparently as long as they don't upgrade anything on their computers, they won't get spyware, nevermind the fact that most updates for OS are to prevent spywares...

1. Software packages who get out an upgrade about once a week. Also, software packages that try to download a 450 Mb update over a dial-up connection. Actually, ugrading in general.

2. People who find their own haste more important than other people's life. Or their own, for that matter.

3. Company websites with crappy product information.
