    * Crappy coffee - seriously it's one of the easiest things in the world to make there's no reason to mess it up!!!

    ouch...I can't make white coffee, its gross when i do it, even I wont drink it! I make nice black coffee though. And I'm a really good cook even if I do say so myself
    they're, there and their

    People who yawn and sneeze very LOUD, especially in public, not necessary.

    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:

    Sorry, I can't sneeze that quietly...when I try if feels like an explosion in my throat, it really hurts and I sound like one of those annoying yipping dogs or daffy duck that have already been mentioned.

    Girls who wear skirts or shorts with furry boots and a scarf around their neck. Really?

    When someone is checking out and they hold up the line waiting on a price check / override on an item that is maybe a 50 cent diffrence. I so want to pull out some change and get them on their way.

    I think I could've quoted from about half of the posts here, but this one just cracked me up.. If the weather is that cold that it requires furry boots, maybe it requires pants as well.. Just a thought..

    The price-checking used to drive me absolutely insane when I worked in retail. People would grab things off the clearance rack, which would have a sign that said something like, "From $4.99 AND UP," and they wouldn't understand why their item was $5.99 when the sign says $4.99, get upset and not purchase the item.. ugh!

    I just had the loud chewing/gulping experience yet again with one of my coworkers.

    Another to add to the list: People who walk around with the bluetooth things permanently attached to their ears. Are you expecting a call from the president at any minute? A lady sat next 2 seats away from us in the movies once and didn't remove it, so I had to use my hand to block the pulsing blue light.. Come on now!

    That is so anal!

    I'm annoyed when threads that are JUST getting fun get removed.

    I agree with the slow drivers on the left side thing...very annoying.

    I get annoyed when the close captioning in movies, etc (you know, where they have time to type it out) has spelling errors.

    I get annoyed when the guys at the gym come over to my trainer and I and ask us why we can't go over and use the girl machines. When did free weights become guys only?

    For the loud sneezers:


    When I was in a pit orchestra, I could always tell if my mom was in the house (and where she was sitting) by the sound of her very loud and distinctive sneeze.

    This may be kinda specific but, i bet you all know one of these people. I work wiht a girl who has a pill for everything. She was recently whining that she can't sleep and even tho she gets in 12 hours she is still exhausted. She is taking Ambien but, its not helping. So, i suggestged maybe a little diet change. She knows her diets a problem, all she eats is dessert and dessert like breakfast foods all day everyday. I said maybe a little walk too? She said "i know that would work but, i don't feel like it. I'm going back to the doctors to try some lunesta."
    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh.
  • People who play with their cell phones in meetings and especially in church! UGH! Take some time off from the thing will ya?!

    People using LOL after everything they type. Are you really laughing out loud? I doubt it

    I have to say that I use that a lot. I have learnt to use that as I have a dry sense of humour and unfortunately, it doesn't come across that way sometimes in email or on forums, so I started to put it there in stead of "I'm joking" or "I don't mean that seriously"........

    Mainly because I had a pleasure to meet some very small minded people who took everything personally and seriously and twisted everything, so I made sure I use lol for everyone to get I'm not that serious.
    I'm the same way, they really need a "sarcasm" font, then I'd stop using it.....

    I'm a big fan of using ":cP" after everything to let people know I'm teasing. "lol" is my other standby though.

    So I was running errands today and was reminded of something else that annoys me. People who drive the wrong way up (or down) the aisles in a parking lot. *sigh*

    1. misuse of words and not knowing correct spelling:
    your/you're, there/their/they're, your/you're, lose/loose, and the many others such as these

    I knew someone who mixed up "formally" with "formerly."

    2. crooked pictures on walls (I have been known to straighten pictures in public places)
    3. driving too slowly
    4. slowing down at green lights
    5. "like" I really "like" dislike the way some people "like" say like every other word
    5. people who tell me what to do

    I'm very easy to get along with, and don't have many things that annoy me. I just wanted to see what kind of list came up. I got stuck so I guess this is it!

    Sadly, I am a "like" person. I am really trying to stop using it so much, but it's so hard! In my defense, I'm from California. But I got called out in Oregon and it was really embarrassing. I don't think I'm "Valley Girl" bad, but I say it more than I'm comfortable with...

    Oh dear you'd hate me then. I went out with someone who could be classed as OCD. All the cup handles had to face the same way in a CLOSED cupboard, everything had to be precise, used to go round touching pictures to make sure they were straight, woe betide a wrinkle in the made bed etc. He would go in the kitchen after me to make sure everything was in exactly the right place, to the millimetre...this is after I'd cooked for a couple of hours. It was a real P off...so much so that when he got up to annoyingly, minutely rearrange anything I may have used, I'd go through the house minutely adjusting his picture frames!

    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.

    Not offended at all. I think there are people out there who search for reasons to sue. Very uncool. I don't have a problem at all with clubs that are for one gender only.....or schools for kids that are one gender only......

    People who speak in the third person makes me mad in a very irrational way. And people at the gym who don't put the weights back where they belong so I have to spend 10 minutes of my workout time looking for them. Lazy poops.

    Can't stand the poor spelling and grammar. I just read a thread where someone was trying to post medical info and getting upset that people were not taking her seriously. Well, hello! You can't even spell or use punctuation properly, and you wonder why people won't take you seriously? Stop texting and pay attention in class!

    See? I was so worked up I did my own mistake! :blushing:
    Can I blame it on the fact that I am still absorbing my coffee?

    Smacking gum/food drive me insane. I do not need to hear you chewing and swallowing and smacking. A lady at work does it ALL THE TIME. And she stands by the copy machine right outside my door I can't turn my radio loud enough. :laugh:

    Labels not facing forward drive me bananas. Even if I get a coffee out somewhere, I have to arrange the lid with the front of the cup.

    Really? I would have applauded you for going to Curves and making a fuss. People like the woman you mention need to get a life and focus on the REAL instances of wrong doing.

    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.
