    People using and then stealing my pens. I'm territorial and I know it, but god damn, if you use my pen you best put it right back on my desk.

    I have more than I can count.. but the ones coming to mind..

    People who bring all their 20 kids with them to the grocery store, and then they run all over the place tripping people. Especially if there's one kid among them old enough to be watching all the rest.

    People who walk all over the store for an hour then won't walk the extra 15 feet to put the cart away, instead leaving it in the middle of a parking spot.

    someone else mentioned people who stand in lines behind you and invade your personal space.

    When you make room on the highway for someone to merge in, and instead they slowly follow the access ramp all the way to the end. Or people who merge in without looking in any way whatsoever. And people who merge in and go 20 miles an hour slower than everyone else on the road.

    Talking to people you don't know or have just met, and they load you up with TMI details about themselves. I had lunch with a new employee one day at work and within 5 minutes she'd told me about all her rapes, drug use and abortions. (GTF away from me, kthxbye)

    English speaking people who look blankly at you like you're speaking a foreign language when you speak to them.

    Lazy people.

    I could probably go on forever. lol

    Slow walkers.

    AMEN!! I am naturally a fast walker even when I'm not on a "workout walk" so I am forever getting PO'd at people in the store or on the sidewalk that are in mosey mode. Drives my BF crazy since he is a mosey-er. :|

    People who judge other people and do so behind their computer or phone. I know judging will occur because we live in a fallen world but if you want to judge me at least have the balls to tell me to my face or let's talk about it like adults. I am sorry it's a Monday just angers me especially when you get onto an app like this to talk to friendly people and seek encouragement because you struggle with self image.

    I work with someone who doesn't wash her hands, unless she's being "watched" so sometimes I'll intentionally go into the bathroom after her to "make" her wash her hands

    Stupid people who talk about things they have a no knowledge of. That and people who swear at little kids and are mean to animals. Seriously, I am mentally killing you in my minds eye!

    People who sneeze really loudly.

    Yes!! There's a woman who works on the other side of the floor as me and I swear her head is going to blow off when she sneezes. So annoying.

    That would be me. Sorry about that, nothing I can do about it!

    My co-worker who is grossly overweight, eats nothing but processed foods, and complains that her "stomach hates her" because she spends so much time in the bathroom. She actually had a colonoscopy to find out what is wrong with her and cried because the results came back normal. Sigh.....it doesn't really effect me, yet.........

    Yeah, I'm a loud sneezer, too. Can't help it.

    I do, however, hate when people sneeze into their hands and don't go wash them, or alternately when they don't cover their sneeze at all. You nasty.

    How about women who clomp around in high heels? I'm always annoyed when I'm watching a tv show or a movie, and the starlet is dressed to the nines and stomping around like she's wearing Doc Martens.

    There's a guy who works in my office building who drives the EXACT same car as me (color, model, year, etc) and goes out of his way to park next to me in the morning if there's a spot available, and it makes me absolutely CRAZY for some reason. I could park on the other side of the parking lot from where I usually park, and he'd find me and park there. If he gets there before me I purposefully park away from him, but if I get there first, he WILL park next to me. I don't know who the guy is (he doesn't work for the same company as I do) and obviously this doesn't actually impact me in any way, shape or form, but for some reason I have this blinding rage-ful impulse to, like, key his car every time I see it next to mine. Lol. (Obviously, I would never really do anything like that...probably.)

    I have a few unfortunately. They don't ruin my day, but I'm insta-pissed when;

    1) someone doesn't put a new roll of toilet paper on the holder, or just props it up on the old roll

    2) you don't hang up your jacket and just throw it over the kitchen chair

    3) shoes all over the damn place on the landing, someone is going to fall down the stairs because of your big @ss shoes!

    4) idiot drivers, I deal with them daily...I yell WTF???!!!! a lot

    5) FoodBabe

    Mothers who can't let go of the fact that their little babies are not such little babies anymore. Those "how old is he now?" "Oh, he's 24 months" people. No. He's 2 years old. Still using months as an age measurement after the kid turns 1 is mad. Cut the cord already.

    (I have no idea why it annoys me so much but holy Hell, it makes me bristle.)

    people who can't use 'their', 'there', 'they're' properly along with 'to', 'too', 'lose' and 'loose'
    and all such similar words... drives me insane

    Oh and also
    people who eat with their mouth full
    people who talk over the top of you
    people who don't do their job properly so you have to pick it up and do it on top of your own job
    people who aren't disabled who park in disabled parking spaces
    people who litter

    I think basically people annoy me :blush:

    Me too! I had someone once say 36 months. I had to stop for just a moment and then said "so you mean he's 3?" SMH...

    My husband always says he's going to start telling people he's "2,278 [or whatever] weeks old." He hates it too. Lol.

    all the *kitten* drivers that jump over to the merge lane that has 500 feet remaining, so they can get 2 cars ahead of you then assume they can just pull right in front of you and you will let them. You Presumptuous Turd Burglar!
    Oh yes. Yes.
    We have a new construction area on the major freeway through Milwaukee where they went from the already-inadequate 3 lanes down to 2. The traffic engineers, in their infinite wisdom :cough: decided that instead of a normal merge, where people are told their lane is ending & encouraged to move into the next lane over, they'd promote a "zipper merge".

    If you haven't heard of this idiocy before, lemmie 'splain: it's exactly what is described above.
    People are encouraged to remain in the disappearing lane (with signs saying that the lane is ending, but don't merge yet) right up until the lane actually disappears, then the TE's expect that the people who have acted with foresight & gotten into the through lane are going to just let these people in the disappearing lane merge in. (Supposed to take turns, one from the through lane, one from the disappearing lane.)

    Just, no. They fail to take into account human nature, the resentment the thinking-ahead drivers have against the last-second drivers.
    Last Friday morning I went through that section, in the through lane that's next to the disappearing lane. Someone obviously expected to be able to cut me off, and when he couldn't he got very mad.
    Honked at me. For. The. Next. Four. Miles. (Until I exited onto another freeway.) First he was behind me, constantly laying on the horn, then he got into the lane next to me, still on the horn, then he was behind me again, then when I moved into the exit lane he was next to me...
    It's not like he was getting where he was going any faster or slower; we were all moving at the same slow pace (trying to squish what should be 4 or 5 lanes of traffic into 2).

    Umm... you're the bad driver in this scenario. You are the one not following the CLEAR instructions to wait to merge. When you chose to disregard the instructions and move over early, you chose to accept that you MUST let someone in. And you didn't.

    You are my current rational irritation.

    people chewing really loudly - or drinking loudly

    People who ask questions where the anwser is obvious e.g. what are you doing - when they can see what i am doing

    when someone cant hear or understand what you are saying even though you are speaking clearly and you have to repeat yourself a thousand times
