    You win. I lol'd.

    hahaha I always win :) or so I like to say ..

    so your name is really spectral moon? are you a video game character?

    When people tell me I'm already skinny and that I'm crazy for eating so healthy. Just because I'm not overweight doesn't mean I'm healthy.

    I actually am a very healthy person but it still annoys me that they just assume that skinny = healthy.

    Shouldn't bother me but it does.

    I hate this. Also, I tend to look like an idiot when it happens, because I've never gone by my first name. If someone refers to me by it, it takes me a few seconds to respond.

    "naked old men in the locker rooms who don't use a towel... i dont care to see you and your balls dragging .............."


    Yes. NOBODY wants to see that. Is that a leftover from Jr High school? And don't sit on the bench without a towel either!

    OOhhh yeah another one. You don't loose weight. You LOSE it. AAARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH

    stop now.

    People that don't chew with their mouth closed and make noises while eating.

    Also, there is a guy that sits across from me at work that taps his foot all night, for no reason. The room is silent except for this noise.

    And finally, when you go to cook something and realize you don't have a very important ingredient, which you SWORE you had. Now you either have to go get it or change your meal completely.

    It annoys me when couples call each other "babe".. :mad:

    Babe is the pig in the city, not your significant other.

    it annoys the s**t out of me when someone holds the door for you when you're 20 feet away so you're forced into a weird walk/run. Jeez! just freaking let the door close already!

    Slow walkers...it's just....ain't nobody got time for that.
    These people never move out your way either.
    They're just there with their inability to not waste my time.

    Also, when I get so excited or nervous and suddenly can't speak English.
    Plus the inexcusable number of "likes" I utter on a daily basis.

    The worst though, is like, when someone makes something especially for me and I've told them I'm counting calories.

    .- people who, despite some serious health issues, do not change their lifestyle. It's not that it makes me angry, but I do seriously worry about friends/family who are young but are in and out of hospital due to weight-related conditions.
    - people who have weight-related conditions, but say its due to 'genetics'. Again, this isn't something that makes me angry, rather I just worry myself sick on behalf of friends/family in these situations. :( I really get seriously upset and worried about my older sisters health, but she's probably the smartest person I know, so she is well aware of her weight. Any time anyone brings it up, they are just insulting her intelligence and making her feel bad.its really hard for her, and I have no idea how I can help her. I don't want to lose my sister early in life

    On to things that actually bother me:
    - nudity in the changing rooms. It's not nessisary. I'm comfortable with my body, but when I need to change I do it in the rooms, out of respect for those who might not be comfortable with theirs. It's pretty simple etiquette.
    - girls who have naturally giant boobs, even when they are fit. I just.... Arg.. So jealous!

    People who dawdle around in a supermarket, go zero mph and generally get in my way.

    Don't you know what you want to buy. Don't you know where it is?

    I want to punch you in the back of the head to get you moving, you slow muthaf*ckas.....

    Get your *kitten* into the trolley and get to the checkout........ or get out of my way!

    I feel much better now..... Thanks!

    Ooo! The way Kroger has just changed of the layout of the whole freakin' store so there's no logic to it! It's shampoo, food, bathroom stuff (toilet paper, tissue...), food, cleaning products, dog food and toys, bread and health food! WTF?? And all the canned goods are spread out across like 25 different places! PUT ALL THE *&$% CANNED GOODS TOGETHER!!! AAGH! I'm fine. I just... used to know where everything was, so I could look at my list and work my way through the store in a logical manner. Now I wander all over the place back and forth and back and forth LOOKING for things that SHOULD be one place but are somewhere TOTALLY different. *sob*

    Another one...When I unfortunately have to go to Wal-Mart and people let their kids roam and play all in the aisles, and run you over with buggies. We even bet how many times we'll have to ask someone to tell their kids to move out of the way, or how many times we'll get run over by a buggy by the time we can get our stuff and get to the checkout.

    Our Kroger just changed its layout recently too and I was going nuts. It's a scam to get people lost so they stay in there longer and buy more stuff!

    It just makes me angry, though! And then there are all the people blocking aisles with their carts or flying out of an aisle and almost hitting me when I'm walking the main run through the store. I KNOW there is no stop sign there, but there are always people proceeding down the main aisle way - at least slow down and LOOK! And I've become one of those that doesn't even ask other people to move their kids - if they're too out of touch to notice that their urchins are in everybody's way, I'm just going to say a very stern "EXCUSE ME!" to the child. Or sometimes I just loom over them and say, "Shouldn't you be closer to your mom...?" BWAHAHAHAAH I am an ogre to ill-behaved spawn...

    No, I get what they're saying... if you're WAY back, holding the door is a nice gesture, but a tad excessive at that point. I understand the person who's holding the door, too, though, because you don't want to be rude. There's that debate, "Are they too far away? Will it seem lame if I let it close? WHAT DO I DO???"
    I've also had plenty of people let the door close RIGHT in my face when my hands are full. I tend to wrestle open the door and thank them (or really, their backs) for their courtesy.

    Lose/loose - that's a common error. And the other spelling/grammar items mentioned earlier annoy me as well.

    "I plan to lose weight so my clothes will be loose in fit." Correct usage!



    However, English is a tricky language. In what other language can you say the following and actually make sense?

    "She pares two pairs of pears."

    When Americans refer to me as "European" as it was a nationality. It´s not!!! I´m Swedish!.

    I hope you realize the irony of your statement. Do you mean North Americans? South Americans? Canadians? Central Americans? "America" covers the United States, Canada, and far beyond. :laugh:

    No America does NOT cover Canada, North America does, but I would be seriously ticked off as a Canadian if someone called me an American.

    I totally understand you. The few Canadians I've met have never used the term "European" to describe my nationality. "American" is the proper word to refer to a citizen of the United States of America. But it seems like not all Americans understand that... :laugh:
