    Honestly right now it's every single friggin "blah blah poster above you" post. They absolutely drive me bonkers and I don't understand the point of them, would you kiss the person above you, would you spoon the person above, favorite feature of the person above you, would you be on a deserted island with the person above you etc etc etc, sadly I am not even exaggerating these are posts that are under chit/chat right now, there are more of them than anything. And I HATE them with the fire of a thousand suns! See irrationally angry! I try to ignore them but they are EVERYWHERE. Ok whew........anyways that's my thing that makes me irrationally angry and it feels damn good to get it out there.

    My favorite feature on you is your amazing mustache! ;)

    Yeah, I'm totally with you, I hate going to "Recent Discussions" to read something interesting and finding that over half of the threads are these ridiculous "poster above you" threads. People are very thirsty for attention.

    Enough with superstition – all of it.

    When I sneeze, a demon isn’t exiting my body, so there is no need to say “bless you”. Don’t look for wood to knock on when you say something beneficial about your situation, it absolutely doesn’t matter. Nothing you do as a sports fan has any effect on your team’s fate. That includes your stupid lucky tshirt or pregame meal that you suppose had some sort of impact on your team’s last big win. It didn’t. Yeah, I just opened my umbrella indoors in the office because it was wet and needs to dry out – OMG, we are all doomed. Seriously?

    Just stop with all of it, let’s pretend like we are advanced life forms who embrace the logical reasoning that we have all been blessed with.

    Ha! Nope. I am not so severe. I accept that lesser mortals with poor judgment and questionable taste want to waste their money on these things. So, I will compromise and agree that they are allowed on the public highways but at a time that does not interfere with me.

    Almost none of these things are irrational. I guess I get irrationally angry by the sound of television, when no one is actively watching it. Specifically network tv or anything with commercials.

    When my dogs act so surprised at the vacuum. I use it almost every month!

    Wait. You have dogs (plural) and use a vacuum *almost* monthly? What mystical creatures are these? And how have you trained them to so thoroughly wipe their paws before they come in?

    Clothes getting thrown on the floor RIGHT NEXT TO THE DIRTY CLOTHES HAMPER. Seriously, for real?? C'mon! It's irrational how upset I get about it -- they're just clothes.

    The sound of cardboard boxes/box flaps rubbing together.

    Any time someone starts talking about politics, specifically differences between Democrats and Republicans. It doesn't have to be accusatory or super opinionated. It just has to be brought up.

    Something specific? Ok, how about clipping fingernails at work??

    We have 2 hampers - one for darks and one for lights. We've had them for the entire 18 years we've been married. My husband STILL puts clothes in the wrong hampers and STILL argues with me about it.

    and on the same note - the kids not putting dishes in the dishwasher - just leaving them in the sink grrrrrrrrr

    People who just drift along without any particular purpose. I was running through downtown yesterday at lunch and so many people just mill around aimlessly like zombies. Had I been a criminal, I could have just ran by and easily snatched devices, bags, and purses and been blocks away before they knew what hit them. Yes, it was during the middle of the day, and it was a lunch break so people weren’t necessarily in a hurry; but you still have to keep your eyes open and at least give the appearance of being alert to your environment, or else don’t be surprised if you find yourself a victim.

    This. And people who don't walk with a purpose. Quit lollygagging and move it!

    People that answer a posters question with a question. Drives me nuts! Just answer the friggin question or don't, and most of the time, the person that asks the question once they get the answer they never actually comment again to actually answer the posters question. Useless. and I don't mean the people that are just trying to get more information I mean the people that do it to be snarky or to make their own point. You know who you are.

    Right. I don’t get the concept of just leisurely drifting around. Certain people in cars, too – why are they just putting along at 25-30mph when the posted speed limit is 35mph? This isn’t happening in touristy areas where there are fascinating sights to enjoy, it is usually just past a nondescript assortment of average houses, apartments, strip malls, and fast food places.

    So for those that do this: what sort of mental process is compelling you to drive slower than the speed limit? Is this a cry for help, is there a criminal holding you hostage and you are trying to signal other drivers to call the authorities? Are you having some sort of medical episode? If not, then kindly press your little foot a bit harder on the gas pedal and accelerate to the minimum speed limit, a lot of people trapped behind you actually have somewhere to be.

    When people here bump up a thread a million times in one month without making any meaningful contribution in their bumping comments.

    Listening to people brush their teeth.
    People driving in the left lane on the expressway going under the speed limit!
    Being a passenger in a car when the rain has stopped but the windshield wipes continue; that noise is like nails on the chalkboard.

    When cashiers hand me change and give me dollars first then the coins. That way the coins slide all over the bills and I have to figure out how to funnel them into my wallet. It annoys me so much.

    When it snows there are always people who do not clear off the top of their car. Inevitably they'll be driving along and suddenly a huge sheet of snow/ice comes off their car and crashes into the car behind them. WTF is wrong with you that you can't spend an extra 2 minutes cleaning off the top of your GD car!?!

    And related to that, when people drive in front of me and decide it's the perfect time to clean their windshields. They spray stuff all over their windshield but it flies onto my windshield and then I have to clean MY windshield!

    *breathe*

    Thank you for letting me vent. I'll be back.

    One more! (this is great therapy)

    There are currently on my dresser at least 20 orphaned socks that I can't find the match to. These are all relatively new socks that I keep buying because I can never find socks that match for myself or the kids. It's like someone is playing a cruel prank on me. It drives me CRAZY. How in the world can this happen!?!? Is there a black sock hole somewhere in the house? I honestly do not understand it.

    Seeing tops dangle from a clothes hanger at the store. Pants unfolded and thrown back on a shelf haphazardly. AKA Sloppy shoppers.
