    People who say "nucular" (for nuclear), "realator" (for realtor), "jewlery" (for jewelry) and a variety of other mispronounced words.

    Oh, and the word "irregardless" just pisses me off no matter how you pronounce it. It means the exact same thing as "regardless". It's a BS made up word (yes, I know it's in the dictionary, I don't care).

    AHH!! I hate when people spit in public too! AHH! On windy days it's the worst because you have to worry about it blowing on you if you are standing next to them. That has happened to me before. Ahh..thinking back at that makes me feel sick.

    Axe instead of ask.

    People who walk zombie-like down the sidewalk while staring at their mobile phone--usually while typing on it.
    Just yesterday- I am walking back from the store with a case of G2 behind this guy who stops in the MIDDLE of the lane in the parking lot to read his Blackberry. I almost walked into his back- then stepped around him and said "hey buddy- you are in the middle of the road". He did not even look up until I had dumped my juice in the trunk and was about to get in the driver's seat.
    It had me laughing until I reached my destination.

    A man who boards horses at my farm brings his german shepherd in the morning and ties him up. As soon as I appear he starts yelling "Cory, behave. BEHAVE! No barking. We won't have any barking from you today. Cory!"

    Meanwhile....the dog never even moved or made a peep.

    Grumpy old *kitten*.

    That's the only thing that pisses me off lately.

    I hate the word 'munch.' I don't know why, except that it sounds like a donkey chewing.

    I'm the same I walk into a restroom and someone comes out the stall and goes straight for the door. I want to grab their wrists, stand behind them and put their hands under the water with soap and sing, "This is the way we wash our hands, wash our hands, wash our hands. This is the way we wash our hands, after we go potty."


    I am done with life after reading your post. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    To add to this point....a lot of men walk out of public washrooms and THEN do up their zippers. WTF?

    Your title says Erks my nerves... it really should just be. It really gets on my nerves, or it really irks me when... or even it really annoys me when...

    irks my nerves just... no. Things like this irk me beyone belief.


    And spelling errors in novels. I sent a letter to an editor once because of the novel I was reading, I included a copy with every spelling error and incorrect punctuation in the novel.

    When people have to post/comment more than once to get their point across! You're Point was well token,
    That seriously IRKS me. :wink:

    I suffer from the same malady. Some days are worse than others, and on those days, it's just better for me to go somewhere and eat on my own. When it's bad, I want to punch people's faces.

    When you fall in love with a pair of shoes only to find they are no longer available in your size and are "end of line".

    My BIL is much the same. He throws the food from the shovel, sorry, fork towards his mouth and then chases it right back down to the plate, and chews with his now overfilled mouth wide open.... smiling and nodding and telling you how good each gobful tastes.

    Mine is people telling me to wash my hands after going to the bathroom, funnily enough. I'm a girl, I don't pee on my hands, and as a former cleaner, I know that in some cases, the cloth used on the toilet seat, is also used on the taps, hand dryers etc. There's a hand sanitizer pump outside the bathroom and I use that, but people still try to call me back to wash my hands. It's like, I'm an adult, just trust that I know what I'm doing and wash your own damn hand.

    Phew.

    Aside from that, it's people who say 'My name is called' what even?

    You end up talking to your husband like he's a 14yr old child because you have to nag him about EVERYTHING repeatedly!

    He'd rather surf the net or play computer games than do any chores......... The flippant me comes out "Okay I'll be your servant then shall I King Dave?"

    Then somehow I'M being the pain in the *kitten*!

    Well, in most Latin-based languages, the expression is, "I call myself," so it's sort of odd in English, but closer to the other languages.

    People who chase the food on their fork/spoon with their tongue. They just open up that gob and stick out their tongue to catch the food...reminds me of a camel or a cow. Oh and people who wipe their nose AT the table; especially while others are still eating. People who use their dinner knife like a saw and cut the food so hard it makes loud scraping noises on the plate.

    Mine is...Can you close the light? No thanks, but I can turn it off. Erks me.

    When a mistake is made, and I am not able to correct it for whatever reason. So it continues to be made. And then at some point people begin to think that's the regular way. Makes me feel like I'm loosing my mind! *eyetwitch*
