Totally fun not seriousness aloud and it can't be mean:noway:
What annoys you? I'll start.

Man it sure is annoying when commercials steal other commercials jingles, ideas or copy them. There's allot to be said for creativity, Oh and especially when it's a company like Insurance for instance.

Geico has their Gecko and has for a long time a new insurance company Elliot Ins. used a Gecko that claimed to be Geico geckos sister or cousin. She said that you don't have to listen to the brother/cousin. It was pretty brash if you ask me. Needless to say they had a company mascott change really quickly. The change was pretty funny though. They did a few commercials where they tried to hype up the reveal by giving a voice and not showing so it'd be so exciting(enter sarcasm) when they showed the new character.

I have this friend who has a horrible problem doing this, she'll be telling a story, she'll pause, ill start saying something, then she'll start back up again. she just never stops to let ya say anything..bugs me to death!

    Too many things to list. And some of them might offend people.

  • It annoys me when I have been trying to change my life and I have parents and siblings that always tell me "Don't be ridiculous you can have one" when it comes to sweets and junk food. They don't want to change their lives fine but let me do what I need to for me and my family.

    Cute topic! I find it annoying when parents who are trying to get their children to obey them, count at their toddler children... and give them a whole lot of fractions... "Get over here now, 1-2-2 and a half.... come on now, get over here... 2 and three quarters."

    Do your toddlers understand fractions already?

    Whine and dine. Let's just have pleasant conversation through dinner, please, or I may have to resort to wine and dine (alone!!) and I don't drink!

    At the moment... it's that my roommate has been banging around in the kitchen for hours baking for her boyfriend. Shouldn't she have done this earlier today? Sleep would be nice...

    I don't give my boys fractions, but there is something about that counting that seems to work. When I told them I was 2000 mad last night, they ran up to their room and played quietly the rest of the night :laugh:

    *snicker* ME TOO!! I'm a shutter bug, and quite a good one. To the point that several people have told me to open a photography studio. My standard response is "But I dont like people"

    I get funny looks for that........

    Yeah. LOL speaking ones mind is often dangerous territory.
    Speaking of which I'm annoyed that ROFLOL went away.
    Oh and what about those people who over post LOL I mean what's up with that? Are they really laughing out loud? How can you trust that?:laugh:
    Oh and the smiley face thing:huh:

    OH, S-L-O-W C-O-M-P-U-T-E-R-S! Why does every person in the world get on the internet at the same moment I need it? I am way too impatient!
    Oh and time for refunds. I had an internet service we could only use on the back porch. needless to say they tried to bill me 4 times for service I barely got to use. Took over 24 hours to try to load a game. Man I couldn't believe it! Then they tried to justify it.

    I have the same thing, a friend will call me and go on...and on....and on...and on. When I call her and I need someone to talk to 9 out of 10 times she's not home, BUT, then she never calls me back so I can VENT to her. Needless to say, we hardly ever talk to one another anymore, just not worth it to me...

    So does anybody love when the sales calls come in at dinner time? I know few people who like to even shop and eat. I heard one pastor on the radio us it as an opportunity to share the good news. It was great.

    I just had a friend go on a facebook rant about having to say Happy holidays. That saying that to anyone is taking Christ out of Christmas. As a Christian it really grinds my gears that some like to pretend there isn't or just ignore the fact that there are other religions and beliefs in this world.


    That and kids now a days who feel that just becasue apple doesn't capitalize the I on their products means they don't have to do it in their sentences.

    Yeah and stores too. Jesus was after all, all for good will. I didn't know that saying Happy Holidays stole your salvation.

    Oh man! When your kids act up in the store is the worse! It's tough when they throw a fit on the floor in front of everybody.
    One time I told my husband about a situation I was frustrated about and he says, "You want me to beat em up?"
    He cracks me up.:laugh:

    When people bring a baby/toddler under the age of 3 on an airplane... especially an early morning flight or a red eye flight. That happened to me on a red eye flight a week ago. Everyone was trying to sleep and this baby kept screaming. The pilot wouldn't even get on the intercom because he said he would let us sleep.... would have been nice.
