    The sound of anyone else eating or chewing anything.

    This. Young children and the elderly get a pass. Everyone else? I have to get away or I'll lose my shiz. I wish so much I could just tune it out.

    People talking about very personal things on their phones in public. I’m neurotic about my phone to begin with. I don’t like anyone touching it or looking through it for listening to me talking on it. So when other people are out loudly talking about how their ex cheated on them and got herpes. I don’t wanna hear it!

    i hate that. also , from experience, iv heard certain people speak loud purposely so you can feel sorry for them and give them money.

    2 encounters @ the train station

    guy on phone was talking to someone and mentioning how he forgot to bring money for the baby formula and he doesn't know what to do

    another encounter: guy on phone speaking to someone saying he needs to head home because his kid is sick but he doesn't have enough money to pay for the train ticket

    Exactly! I can’t stand anyone begging for money to begin with. Or playing the martyr. It annoys me to no end.

    On a new note, being tickled. I will go crazy ninja warrior on you. I lose all rational thought and arm and leg function, and go into full on survival mode.

    Why?

    22/7 (The date as non-Americans write it) is a closer approximation of Pi than March 14th.

    So is that your Pi day?

    I observe both as an excuse to eat an irrational amount of pie

    A rational amount of pie can still be a lot of pie.

    No need to bring irrational numbers into this.

    I see what you did there. . .

    cant have a fan/ac blowing my body while I sleep. have to be facing away
    I'm the exact opposite. Have to have a fan or constant breeze blowing on me while I sleep otherwise I don't sleep.

    The fan issue is a potential deal breaker. It should be one of those dating compatibility questions.

    When a movie won't load or keeps sticking and pausing half way through and you have to remember where you last were cos the dam thing has to be played from the start. I could start ripping hair out at these points.

    Yes! And why is it that "ff" and "rew" was way better back in the VHS days?. .

    I have a lot of cell phone irks. How about when people walk around with their phone on speaker phone in public.

    or when they walk up to somone who is supposed to do something for them (like a food service employee) talking on their headset. Its so freaking confusing for the person trying to provide good customer service

    Or, I was in line at a store one time and this lady was talking loudly on her phone and cussing out the person on the other end the whole time, the poor cashier was so embarrassed, she didn't know what to do.

    Exactly! This drives me insane. Or when they make a mess and throw their garbage on the ground and such. I have actually heard someone say “well that’s what they get laid for.” No, no it’s not. For accidents yes, sure. Not for someone to be too lazy to walk to the garbage can.

    Me too or when they’re in speakerphone in the car and they think nobody can here them???
    While we are on the subject why do people think picking their nose in the car is acceptable when they would never do it in public, your surrounded by windows, you are still in public!

    Privacy is lacking in this day and age that’s all

    Customers who come into my shop at the very end of the day (blinds are down)it is clear we are about to close. Still they ask to be served.

    I have to have the bed sheets and bedspread tucked in on my side of the bed. Also, I can't stand for the shower curtain to touch me while I'm showering. Strange I know.....

    I remember those days! It’s awful! They always seem to be the people who don’t know what they want, too.

    Also, when people are in line at a store and keep running off to get more things. Have your stuff ready!

    Agreed. After my high school job I've always refused to go to a store if there's less than 30 minutes til they close.

    But irrational thread.


    I'm irrational about people touching things that belong to me, no matter how harmless. Put a flyer under my wiper? I'm outraged you touched my car. Don't come over to my desk and start sliding stuff out of the way.

    My planet plates go in order. Don't put away my dishes.

    So now I need to know if your planet plates have Pluto or not? Do you ever use your Pluto Plate? I wouldn't. It would never clear the rest of the dishes in its orbit.

    When people are on their phone texting during dinner or if spending time with friends/family. Very rude.

    Social media is the bane of real connection with others. I have endured dinner company so obsessed with their phones, thumbs constantly moving, cannot bear to look away, I'm literally grossed out by those moving thumbs.

    The set does not include Pluto.

    Have you met our space thread? I suspect you would feel right at home there. There’s not even any #babybathtime pics

    I was wondering what a planet taking a bath would look like and this is as closet thing I found. It's weird there aren't any pics of planets taking a bath which makes me irrational.
