    Slow/stupid/old people at the self checkout stations at the grocery store.

    If it takes you 10 MINUTES to finish your purchase because you can't figure the #$%@ thing out, don't use it.

    Someone (my middle child) that eats down to the last little bit and crumbs of something, then puts the bag back in the cabinet. I have found many a cereal box like this. He could have just poured the last half cup or so in his bowl. The most recent one was when I had a craving for some kettle corn that we got at first Monday, remembered that I had hid the bag (or so I thought) and there was about half a cup of pieces of popcorn in that bag. I got so mad!

    Monday morning I found an empty box of breakfast sandwiches in the freezer. :( I was so happy for like 3 seconds.

    Hearing people eat anything noisily.
    Bad table manners.
    Awful commercials - and my god do we have an abundance.
    Children's stupidity. Yes, I have children. I know they aren't stupid beings (they're almost 11), yet they challenge this with constant acts of stupidity and negligence. (leaving a brand new jug of milk out all day, leaving chips or cereal open to go stale, dropping their bags/coats on the floor right where they walk in) Sigh...

    People who don't use turn signals
    People who are noisy eaters or chew gum with their mouth open
    People who park in handicap spaces with no handicap sticker
    People who can't spell or use punctuation correctly.

    I guess just basically people in general.

    Hahhahhaaaaaaaa! Yes to all of these and yeah, I think I just get irrationally angry with people in general as well.

    I will also add:

    * self-entitlement
    * being inconsiderate to/of others
    * ditto on the misuse roundabouts
    * sound of people dragging their feet, UGH
    * people who don't know how to use the self-checkout - get out of the way for those who do! Better yet, give them their own designated line so those of us who know how can carry on!

    I sound like a really hateful hag, don't I!? After reading the above, you might be surprised to know that I am very friendly and have lots of friends!

    OMG at the self-checkouts! Don't you just want to grab the stuff out of their hands and do it for them? It is not that hard, people! Sheesh!

    People at fast food places where they have to wait for their name or number to be called, but they always miss it because they're too busy looking at their smart phone. Then five minutes later, they get angry at the staff because their number hasn't been called. Yes it has, dumbass!!!

    1. People who chew with their mouths open or talk while they are eating. Those wet, horrible sounds... and I don't want to see any of that.

    2. People who walk extremely slow in front of me and I'm unable to get past them. It's worse if they're walking side by side with their buddies and I'm just stuck walking -100 miles per hour.

    3. I hated Jerry the Mouse (from Tom and Jerry) and the Roadrunner when I was little. I wanted Tom to catch that horrible mouse... and that stupid bird irritated me to no end. I wanted HIM to fall under the trap for once.

    4. When people stand still on the left side of the escalator. The designated area for people who want to stand is on the RIGHT. Everyone else walks up the left, and those who stand on the left have actually made me late for class before. Lots of angry students!!!

    People that you let over in front of you in traffic and they don't have the common courtesy to give a thank you wave! Makes me want to road rage. When my 16 year old son smacks his lips and swallows his food whole, he can literally eat 10 taco's in about 5 minutes, gets on my last damn nerve! When someone farts in the car and don't tell you until it's too late "whoops, it just slipped out, how the hell does a fart just slip out? you could also give a common courtesy roll the window down to let me know it's coming!

    People that race into an elevator instead of looking to see if anyone is coming out of it first. I mean, are they thinking that NO ONE could possibly be coming off this elevator right now, and it's here just to pick me up? Are people that self-centered? lol

    Liars. Moreso men who lie about their marital status.

    SAME with the metro/subway!! Some people really want to be the first one in there. In the case of the metro it's to get a seat, but you don't have to freaking shove your way through people already standing there. I've seen my fair share of women (props to men, I don't think I've ever seen them doing it) barrel right through elderly people with canes or people on crutches. Horrifies and angers me. Boohoo, you have to stand for five minutes.

    Mommy wars/boasting on Facebook or Instagram. Yes, we all know you dress your 4 year old like they're 15 in outfits you think are cute just to post on social media. We also don't need to know how amazing and better you think your child is.

    All kids are blessings. They are all equally great.

    This is exactly what I was about to say!!! People who don't understand escalator etiquette drive me insane.

    I would agree with the person that said "People", but I actually like a lot of people. So I will try to narrow it a bit.

    Selfish, entitled, egocentric, self centered, narcissistic individuals that don't realize there are other people around them that suffer due to their apparent disregard for anyone other than themselves or their f'ing phone!

    Also people that say "From the Get Go", what the hell does that even mean????
    Finally, people that abbreviate in conversation, the 80's with the Valley Girl talk was my nightmare.

    Wow, I feel a lot better. I agree with everyone else, except the chewing loud, doesn't really bother me much. Hmmm maybe I do it and just don't know?

    I get that some people don't live in cities and don't go around escalators often, but take a hint when you're the ONLY person standing on the left side (not to mention the line that gathers on the right) :P

    Also, people who don't put on their turn signals (or DO but don't turn) drive me insane. One time I was walking across the street because someone had on their turn signal... nope, drove straight and scared me to death. Not to mention the people who run red lights/drive right by stop signs... almost hitting me in the process! :anguished:

    I also get irrationally angry when people spend forever backing into a parking spot, blocking the flow of traffic the entire time. I don't understand this.

    People who are too lazy to push the grocery carts they used back to the store or the designated cart collection in the parking lot, and instead leave them in perfectly good parking spots or on curbs.

    When people beep at me when I'm running on the side walk. Like are you trying to compliment me or something? Cause you're just pissing me off and making me want to carry eggs around to throw at your car.

    This makes me so angry that I actually want to hit something right now and my heart hurts a little.

    Misshapen candies or m+m's without an m. I'm OCD about candy, though I never actually eat it. I get it and sort it and organize it on pieces of paper to torture myself but never eat any of it. I know the misshapen ones taste the same, but since I don't eat them, they just make me angry! :P

    People who aren't aware of their surroundings.
    People who eat loudly.
    People who take too long to make a right turn.

    Yes! It scares the crap out of me every time someone does that. I am on the sidewalk - do not honk your horn at me. I've almost hurt myself because it makes me jumpy.

    Same! Like I'm in the zone and then it startles you plus it's really loud. I get really annoyed when it's a bunch of guys. I usually end up giving them the finger which is literally the only time I ever do that in life.

    It makes me so mad.
