    - There's a certain road that I drive on for 7 miles where I will hit EVERY. SINGLE. REDLIGHT. Every. single. day. *eye-twitch* I know that if I hit it right, I will get all green lights... but this happens only like once a month.
    - Passive aggressiveness-- seriously I'd rather you just be an upfront jerk.
    - People who won't kill the awkwardness with conversation. I've asked you 3 questions and you've responded with one word answers. We can either sit in painfully awkward silence or you can make an effort and stop making me do all the work.

    This thread is making me laugh but also making me realize how many things irrationally drive me nuts. I need to relax, methinks :)

    There is a lady at work who paperclips everything she gives to me. It drives me insane. It's things that everyone else gives to my loosely.. and the paper clip will be removed. But always... with the paperclips.

    a lot of things irritate me and I don't find any of them irrational.

    stupid people. fake people. people who drive like morons. people who go to restaurants as a couple and then sit there staring at their phones the whole time. anyone who utters the acronyms OMG, WTF, YOLO or 'hashtag (insert something stupid here)' in a conversation...#hashtagprovesyou'reamoron. the bacon craze. vanity license plates - because everyone really needs to know you're 2HOT2HNDL or just essentially narcissistic, self-absorbed and oh so clever. close talkers. quiet talkers. loud, obnoxious people... especially women who've had too much to drink. rap music. the fact that 98% of recent hip-hop songs have some guys rhythmically yelling 'hey.. hey' over and over in the background. the fact that Disney stopped being original 15 years ago and that Frozen is one of the worst movies they've ever made and people eat it for breakfast... 'let it go' people, you're being led by the media. the word selfie. having to break apart my ice cubes to get them into my water bottle. phone trees. the IRS. people who stare. people who think you want their unsolicited advice at the gym. people who use the circuit training room to sit on the machines and text. people who tell me, you have such a pretty face... if you'd just lose that weight. stick figure families on the back of cars. religious bumper stickers. religious people who tell me I'm a blasphemer and need to find god (yes, this has actually happened). people who mistreat animals. sometimes people in general. useless meetings. women who bash all men because they had one bad experience. commercials that make men look stupid (which is the bulk of them...especially on women's channels). Broncos fans. bad graphic design work. black friday. media-driven holidays. people who never take initiative. complainers. drama queens. bullying. and pretty much anyone who can't mind their own business. :)

    She people are listening to a conversation that you are having with someone else and then they jump in it.

    I am easily annoyed by those who refuse to blow their nose, but instead elect to torture everyone around them by sucking it right back (sniffling.) Not only is the sound annoying, but the very concept is disgusting to me.

    Another thing that bothers me, is loud eaters. I can't stand it when people crunch, smack or slurp food. It makes me wonder if these offenders weren't raised in a barn /grrrr

    Disclaimer, I AM NOT O.C.D.

    I get a packet of paperwork from a receiving technician at the job that the papers are not all lined up and it has 15 bent, failed staples in it. If not fixed my file cadinet would be a train wreck.

    People parking directly across the street from my driveway on a road that is posted for "no parking". The neighbors friends do this constantly even though I have asked them not to do so.

    Ditto, I have been known to contact non emergency to get them to move along or face a ticket!

    Hilarious! I must say I hate it when people SPRAY Lysol (or whatever) SO much, they think it is going to take their smell away. Instead I walk around smelling like Lysol the rest of the day. YUK, no thank you!

    Not to get too too political here, but.....

    Poor, working class and middle class people more worried about "welfare queens" stealing 800 bucks a month and seemingly unconcerned about billionaires/millionaire bankers who just got bailed out for a cool trillion trying to repeal the scant and insufficient regulations that they still have to steal trillions more inevitably.

    It's pretty hilarious actually.

    Ugh, yes. So hypocritical and completely nonsensical. I have had so many talks about this with my in-laws and they refuse to listen to any sort of reason so I gave up.

    This is not in the least irrational to rage about. Everyone SHOULD rage about it. People that do this are the worst.

    Wow, what a bunch of babies! Get a thicker skin why don't you? Life is messy, smelly, gross and sometimes, if you're really, really lucky, you get to experience happiness. People are weird, and there's so many of us, so you better get used to it.

    My peeve, of course, is irrationality, but isn't that what it means to be human?

    People who complain about people being people over people being people is my pet peeve for the day!
