The guy at my gym who wears the 'I heart Fat Chicks' t-shirt. I kinda want to kick him.
Careful....he might 'heart' that too.... 8-o0 -
I know I might take some heat for this but I was annoyed recently by a woman that sued a "men's only" club because she was denied membership. Really? Why? She didn't really want to join. Just wanted to make a point.
Almost went down to Curves and pitched a fit.
That kind of thing annoys me too. I dislike it when anyone does something just to make a point. Either do it because you really want to or don't do it at all. :grumble: Besides, nothing is stopping her from creating an open club that does the same things as the "men's only" one.0 -

My annoyances:
- Left-turn red light runners ... that's ok, I'll just sit here at this green light and wait for you because your time is obviously much more important than mine.
- People not using merge ramp to get up to posted highway speed!
- People too lazy to pick up their towel & shut the locker door at the gym!
- Not an annoyance, but something I notice all the time...under-inflated tires
- Lately? The stupid auto-correct on my new android cell foam...especially when I don't notice it changed something.0 -

I'm a woman and I'm on your side with this one.0 -

Ok, here's one more. I'm originally from Missouri and it irks me when people pronounce Missoui "Missoura". There is no "a" in Missouri. :grumble:
On this note... I'm from NJ, and can't stand when I tell people that, and pronouce it, "New Joisey." And I'm really starting to get sick of all the Jersey-related tv shows.. The stereotypes were bad enough before.. I for one am Jersey born and bred, and am not Italian, have never gone tanning (why pay for that when the sun is free??), and have never ever done anything resembling a poof in my hair!0 -
The sound of a ringing telephone. That annoys me to no end.
Not knowing the difference between your/you're, lose/loose, to/too/two, there/they're/their.
ppl who rite in chtspk and dont use any punctuation or apostrophes and dont use a capital i and just go on and on and on without stopping i mean writing a LOL is 1 thing writing entire paragraphs of this stuff is another it just drives me nuts doesnt it drive u nuts is it 2 much 2 ask to use proper grammar these days i guess it is b/c i see this all the time i guess using the shift key is 2 much work or something cmon ppl learn to spell 4 crying out loud jeez........0 -
I can't stand spit-related habits. Chew is the worst. It's beyond gross to me to see people walking around with bottles of tobacco-juice and spit. Ugh. I could claim it's a tobacco thing, but really, people who do this with sunflower seeds skeeve me out as well.
*shudder*
I love sunflower seeds and when I go to HS games, I spit in a cup rather than spit them out on the floor of the stands. I really don't know what else I could do ith the shells.
I guess I'd rather skeeve someone out than make the janitor clean up my mess.
I didn't mean any personal offense...I thought this was and about "silly" stuff (and that we admit it's silly for us to be annoyed by it).0 -
ugh! a new one for tonight.... the sound of the youth at the centre I work at dropping their pool cues on the ground.... it just grates at every nerve of mine!!!! can't you just hold on to the dang thing and not drop it every 5 min potentially snapping the tips off. yet again??? really is it so hard to hold on to?
oh and the guy in the apt next to me (who's a really nice guy that I don't mind at all lol) hacking up his lungs every morning and late at night (like now. midnight) when I'm in bed.... just stop smoking already!!! yeesh.0 -
People that improperly use ellipsis...
People that answer questions with an answer that leads you to the answer rather than giving you the straight answer.
People that don't use turn signals.
People that eat with their mouths open at a movie theater.
I could really do this all day so I'm going to go ahead and stop now

When people use improper subject/verb agreement for example: he were going to the store... people was running like crazy:huh:0

Yes, yes and yes!! That drives me nuts!!!!
Another one, is when people ask you a question and don't get the answer they're looking for so they ask you again, just rewording the same question....they will do it for like ten tries....uuuggghhh.0 -

That's called subject/verb DISagreement.0 -
oh, one more thing....
Parents that don't make their kids eat food. There is not many things that turn my stomach then parents going..."Oh, you don't like the food? And you want something else? And what would you like? Pizza and chips? OK, I will get you pizza and chips so you don't go hungry"
LET THEM STARVE> They will learn to like food. I know kids don't like everything. I have 2 so I know. But my daughter (almost 7) will eat most things, so I know that if she says she doesn't like it (AFTER SHE TRIED IT!!!) I won't make her. Same with my son. And they eat most things because we don't make fuss of them when eating and when we say there will not be ........whatever we have for them after dinner......we stick to it.
Might sound really bad, but then I have my kids that eat even things like gherkins and blue cheese and all the vegetables (even though my son is more picky, but he will still eat it)
And my sister is the worse offender. Example. My husband, my kids and I spend couple of hours picking blueberries in the summer. Took them to her and she made lunch. My kids had to eat all their lunch to get them, but her son was just saying he doesn't want it and got them straight away.:mad: :mad: :mad: ........the look on my kids faces was so hurtful. But I know that if I let them off once, they might be only small, but they are big enough to start playing on it...again, more my son then my daughter.
So there....moan over, :laugh:
We make our kids try everything but I find my hubby annoying as he tries to convince the kids that they like things that they say they don't. I CANNOT be convinced into changing my mind about stuff like that and thus it annoys me that he tries to get my kids to change their minds...IE You like ketchup, it is made of tomatoes so you should love this pasta sauce. Well ketchup and pasta sauce taste different to me. If they weren't different to some degree we would only have one tomato type sauce available right?
It also bothers me that so many parents think that kids need kid food. Sure we have kid dinners once a week of the chicken strip/macaroni and cheese variety but usually they eat a dinner. It doesn't have to be their favorite for them to make a meal out of it. We have friends who get one meal from one restaurant for the kids while they are going to have Chinese because they assume the kids won't like Chinese. My kids love Chinese especially the baby corn.0 -
This boils down to people only thinking about themselves and I find it terribly annoying as well. Recently we heard an announcement at some kids event to the parents "Everyone's kid is as important to them as your's is to you. Watch out people!"Mothers, who drop their kids and after picking up their kids up from school and on a way out, they stand right in front of the small school side gate, that we all use. They form their little big mothers meeting there, with prams and some with their dogs and blok it completely........move your backside somewehre else and at least let us come out.
And also the lazy parents, who live about 5 mins walk and yet blocked the road picking the kids up in a cars. (We live right opposite the school, it's just lucky we don't have a car and don't need to get it into our drive way)
Pensioners who think the world owes them a living.
People who feed their kids junk because they can't be bother to cook and the kids are so fat, that you wonder how long they are going to live. (I know it's harsh, but some of the kids at shcool here are big and I have to feel sorry for them, they don't deserve to go through most of us are going now. They are kids younger then 11 and already probably morbidly obese :frown: )
my husband sometimes. :laugh:
And another thing that annoy me, is that I moan too much and don't know when to stop. I do have more, but I think I stop here.0 -
People that turn their turn signal wayyyyyyyyy to early.0

My husband pronounces asphalt weird. He says "ash phalt" and it drives me crazy.
My childrens' need to talk to me urgently the minute I start to rock out in the car to a favorite song.
My neighbor. She has to say things three times before she can move on. I don't think she knows she does it but it makes me crazy.
Toppers. People who must top your experience, whether it be that theirs was way better or way worse. Why can't my story be about me?
Noisy kid toys.
Being hungry on rest days because I have convinced my foolish self that I will gain 400 pounds if I go over on my calories from time to time.
People with really overweight kids. Well that makes me sad because the kid has such a battle in front of them but the annoying part is when you watch the parent give the kid a lot of cookies then the parent says the kid usually has a very healthy diet. It just doesn't jive and I wasn't so rude as to comment on your child's weight or diet. If I didn't comment please don't make excuses and tell, um shall we call them untruths, to make yourself feel better. I know 2 people who do this and it makes me so sad for the kid.0 -
People that drag their feet as they walk!! Pick up your feet people D**m!!!:grumble:0

I so agree with the pouting thing in pics! Totally ugly! Also, people who drive 20 mph in a 35mph zone-get movin! People who don't wipe down the gym equipment when they are done--sooooo gross!0
-
I live in Boise, Idaho. For those of you who follow college football, you know our Boise State Broncos are awesome this year. It makes me crazy when their games are aired on an ESPN or CBS and the announcers pronounce Boise "Boyzee"-people, there is no Z in Boise!0
-
I hate it when people smack their lips or say ahhhhh after they take a drink of something. Makes me want to smack the cup out of their hands!
I also hate it when people think they are a food critic at every meal! "Soup is too salty, too much sugar, needs more vegetables, add some pepper..." I work as a chef and can't make every meal to everyones specific taste or else I would never get the food out on time!!0 -
People who throw cigarette butts from their car windows...it's called an ashtray! Ever heard of it?
People who blow their nose at the table? Are ya freakin' kidding me? YUCK!
People who refuse to use turn signals AND people who leave their turn signals on for MILES!
People who like to finish your sentence...are you psychic now?
People with bad breath. If I can smell it, then surely you can taste it!!!
There are plenty more, but I'm gonna stop here...E X H A L E !0 -
Girls who make the duck face on networking sites.. it looks retarded.

People who don't brush their teeth... super gross! They are supposed to be smooth not bumpy with plaque!
Stupid drivers. Why is it that when you drive a brand new car everyone trys to hit it?
Airman that keep complaining about living in North Dakota. If you havn't noticed.. you are stationed here until you get orders which will be in like 3 years. So STFU and deal with the -60 degree weather already, it's not going away anytime soon!0 -
and people who chew gum like cows.. i just want to make them spit it out!'
Yes! And people who chew their food like that! I have one in the office doing that right now!
And people who write on here as they would on SMS. That really annoys me.
I could not agree more. This irritates me so bad. It also gets to me when people make noises with their eating utensils such as scraping the bottom of a bowl with a spoon. Just accept that there is no more food in the bowl and let it go!
OMG!!! People EATING! lol kidding. Sort of- I hate it when I can hear someone chew, when they smack, chew with their mouths open or my BIGGEST peeve... the heavy breathing chewer. o.O Oh- and last but not least when people suck their teeth. EWW, If something's stuck in your teeth get a TOOTH PICK you greedy *kitten*. gah ><0 -
I think I should clarify and say I was speaking of people who do it in an obnoxious way. I know people (my Dad) who have a loud sneeze and can't feel it coming sometimes....but then there are people who let it go and go and go and then even laugh about it....Achoooooooo..ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!! The "oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" part at the end is not usually a part of the actual sneeze.
But I wasn't judging, I thought we were all sharing.0 -
I'm with you on that one. I can't control how loadly I sneeze either. I had a boss that would sneeze so loudly that you could hear her down the hall. I thought it was hilarious.Oh dear. Sorry about my loud sneezing. Seriously, I've tried to sneeze quietly but I just can't. I'm one of those people who have very loud sneezes. Just can't help it. :ohwell:
My boss is that way too. He sneezes even louder than I do. :laugh:
There is a guy at work that when he sneezes he sounds like Daffy Duck since he is holding it in.

People on the highway, when driving into a construction zone merge, who ride out the lane that's ending until the very last second. "Yes, that 8 foot blinking, f*cking arrow is for you, too!":explode: :explode: :explode: :mad:
Loose and lose.
To, two and too.
Bear and bare.
Pear and pair and pare.
Any of the sound alikes that aren't spelled alike.
ALSO, ALL CAPS. STOP YELLING AT US, DAMMIT!!!:mad:
People who post about TOM. Seriously? Do we need to know this? Are we tracking each other's cycles now?:noway:
People who use speaker phone at work for private calls and business calls for that matter. If it's not a "group" phone call, stay off the speaker.
hmmm..people like me who bottle htings up then just pour everything out in one long ranting note! LOL!!!:laugh:

There are many people that don't know proper grammer- or are just to lazy to use it- and the constant sms/ texting etc- doesn't help .
But- there are many people today who speak english as their second language, third .. etc. Not everyone has been born in USA< and not everyone is living in USA. The rest of the world does study english as a language- but the rest of the world also has different languages. So many foreign people in the world speak english - very well- not perfect - ( even born american's don't speak it perfect - as we can see ) but how many other languges ( other than english ) do the rest of you speak, write and read - 100 % correctly ?
I'm one of these examples. I'm not born in USA , I didn't go to school in USA.. I have other two languages ( a third one i didnt' use and forgot it / french ).. and than in my early 20's.. i moved to USA and started learning it. Now i'm in my late 20's.. this is as good as i have been able to learn it. I tried my best.
I'm one of the people that does get those words and grammer confused sometimes- ( all of the ones mentioned so far ) .. but again.. Not everyone is born here, has studied here.. i have 2-3 other languages in my head that i'm using and my children have a 4th one on top of that..
How many languages do you speak /read/write - other than english ? Where did the understanding for other people go ?
I can understand that it annoys you - but i'm just giving you the view of the story from a different perspective.
I appologize for any " grammer and misspelings " that i might have had above ..0
