Those Little Things that Annoy You

Toots

Women who drive big BMWs or SUVs etc and can't drive or park for ****e!! GRRRRRRRR!!!! Nothing worse than trying to find a parking spot in a crowded shopping centre and some stupid wagon has parked her land rover diagonally across 3 SPACES!!! BTW, I'm a woman so not being sexist!

When ur in the bank and the queue is really long and there's some old dear who waits until she gets to the teller to start filling in her lodgement slips!! And she's had like 20 minutes to do it! Then they turn around to the teller and start asking for all their change in singles and such! Really grinds my gears!

I dont know if this has been said or not, but i hate when people cut corners when driving. Last night for example i was waiting to take a right turn out of my estate and a women driving a big ****er of a landrover, turns right into the estate, and i'm not joking, she got within half an inch of taking the front off my car! And she was clueless, just kept on driving, ARGH!

Bad/dangerous driving, bad parking, inconsiderate drivers, etc, etc really bug the crap out of me...:mad:

I don't like inconsiderateness & rudeness in general tbh...

People who think they are smart & funny & fail miserably in both camps would be a close third...:)

*Deep breath*

Driving:
- People who don't indicate on roundabouts...or in general...mostly on roundabouts though.
- People who tailgate.
- People who drive too fast/too slow.
- SUVs: pointless in urban settings, where they mostly are.
- The length of time it takes for my front windscreen to de-fog in the mornings.
- People who are driving on *your* side of the road because there are cars parked on their side and expect *you* to wait and refuse to pull in for you (I make a point of driving on *my* side of the road and forcing them to pull in/reverse until they can )
- People who are impatient with learner drivers: everyone's been one at some stage.
- People who force their way out into traffic. Usually taxi/van drivers. But I won't generalise.

Shops
- Queue skippers
- Things not being where they say there are. E.g. I was looking for cotton wool in Tescos a few weeks ago. It was not in the aisle that had a sign saying 'Cotton Wool'. Frantic search ensues. :mad:
- Rude assistants. I always make a point of trying to be nice but you could meet me halfway and pretend like you give a damn.

Banks
- In general. Thieving corporations.
- When I'm filling out lodgement/withdrawal/whatever forms and someone skips ahead of me. That *really* gets to me.

Miscellaneous
- Poor spelling, punctuation and/or grammar. Again, I can understand typos and mistakes, but 'I seen it' or 'I done it' is just an example of tardiness.
- Carrying on from above, 'txtspk' irks me. I refuse to use it. Even in text messages. There are 26 suffering letters of the English alphabet. Let's utilise them!
- The fact that I have a 31' leg and therefore the standard jeans' lengths of 30' and 32' do not suffice. The former shows too much shoe and the latter invariably gets ripped at the ends eventually. *Sigh*
- The bottom of my jeans getting wet in the rain and the fact that due to capillary action this rises to my mid-calf. Infuriating.
- The apathetic nature of so many people who will then insist on their right to complain and yet never do anything about which they are complaining.
- Over-enthusiastic chuggers: the annoying kind. I am in a charity organisation and I know what it's like to stand on a street with a bucket. But there's collecting and then there's just plain irritating, and a fine line between the two.
- Girls who wear too much make-up (and especially fake tan) and just make too much of an effort with their appearance in general. Like, really, is there a need? Go get a hobby instead.
- People who aren't involved in things and then question why I am involved and why I care. Ffs, if I and others who do don't, then who will?!
- Spam.
- People not from Limerick slagging off Limerick. Indeed, people from Limerick slagging off Limerick: it only fuels the stereotyping.
- People who *need* to get drunk to enjoy a night out and who can't understand sobriety in a club. Grow up.
- The inherent anti-Britishness in some Irish people and the robust republicanism that still exists and neglects the view that peace > 32 counties.


Emmm...I know there's plenty more. But I think that's enough for now.

When you're in the library around the time when exams are starting and essay deadlines are looming and everyone's talking. I especially despise the people who have the cheek to answer their phones. I also hate when you tell these people that there are free discussion rooms for talking in and this is a silent area and they just glare at you and keep on talking. You're so bloody ignorant!

Spots.

The sore-under-the-skin ones are worst.

I hate poop buddies. What in the name of god makes guys want to take the cubicle next to an occupied one to take a crap? I was in work early this morning and only had time to log in before heading to the jacks for a big Guinness ****. The bathroom was empty so I went to the far end and took the second last cubicle. Within two minutes there was guys in the cubicles either side of me. 3 people in the bathroom, 3 cubicles taken, 3 poop buddies. FFS lads - the rules of urinal etiquette apply to cubicles too!

There also seems to be a growing number of guys who choose to wash their hands in the middle sink (there are 3). I wouldn't do that even if the other two were being used ffs.

I love people who are good at bathroom mathematics too. 7 cubicles, 7 urinals, 3 sinks and 2 hand dryers. Because that's where we want to be stuck in a queue…….

So, what are those things that annoy you..

For me, one of the ones has to be the fact that I'm a student, but more or less have a full time job (nearly 30hours a week) to pay myself through college. And knowing that people getting the grant probably earn more than I do (when my bills and rent are taken away).

The thing that annoyed me for a while was the cliqueshness of this site and the clowns who have 1,000 + posts on it.

During the summer I started a thread with a very similar title to this one and I was subject to a tirade of abuse because I was new!!!

So f**k youse all!!!!

Toilet threads, like the one that is running on AH now. It should be flushed! Didn't their Yor Ma train them to do that when finished? Makes me want to jump in my Atari Jag and speed off to buy somemore cheese at the market along with a Hallmark Xmas card. But no way would I be tempted to have a cup of Star*ucks... that would be going way too far!

People who bitch about Fianna Fail, but forget that the oppostion only promised "we'll do it better" and "it's time for change", but never said how they'd do it... any differently...

It annoys me when people use language that I don't understand!

Apologies if I offended you. I just don't have a clue what you said!

People who spend more than 30 seconds at an ATM.
I often seem to be stuck behind what appears to be first-time users.

ATMs should have a bell / buzzer that sounds if a transaction is taking an excessive length of time.

gonna go political.
To be totally honest, Bertie hasn't been that bad has he? Look at where we are now compared to where we were when he came to power. Yeah sure somethings are in disarray, eg. the health service. But anytime myself or a family member has been in a hospital, it has been a good experience.

Seeing as we are in the Xmas spirit heres some Xmas pet hates I have:

-Buying Christmas clothes. I just dont see the point / I couldnt be bothered.
-Christmas film cliches - how its always seems to be snowing in Xmas films, how when the kid looks up to the sky, theres a shooting star, how theres always a baddie and a happy ending. Boring.

Other than that:

-People who flash me when I safely and legitimetly overtake them
-Incompetent, didering drivers
-Shops that have tags on items saying "Only £49.99", despite £49.99 being a rip off
-Queues
-Rain after washing the car a few hours earlier.
-Forgetting to turn on the electric blanket before bed
-When I lose my keys that I could have sworn I left on the table. And when I think to myself, aha, I think I left them in the Kitchen press, then go to find them not there either.Argh!
-When I record a TV program on my 1980's VHS, and the recording cuts off before the program ends.
