    when someone says , "huh" as if they did NOT hear you but then proceeds to answer your question without you ever having to repeat it. It's like..well why the hell did you say, "huh?"
    Delayed assimilation. I have it. And I just made that name up, because I really have no idea what it's called. But I hear it's not uncommon.

    Basically, when you hear words, your brain translates them into meaning. If you don't fully hear what is said, the natural reaction is to say "huh" or ask "what?". Meanwhile the brain compensates, fills in the blanks (usually correctly), and the person can then answer. So they correctly misunderstood you and then correctly interpreted what you said.


    Also, I'd like to see somebody justify putting the toilet paper roll on backwards. Somebody said it's for if you have kids. Is there a real reason or is it just to be annoying?


    //edit: Mine is poor grammar and spelling, but I've stopped letting it bother me. It makes me look worse than the offender by calling them on it, anyway. Better to just let them continue to look uneducated.

    I HATE when people chew with their mouths open, talk to me and chew gum, scratch themselves with natural long nails ( that sound is horrible!) I HATE when people call up at my job and are having a conversation with another person ( while they called )while I am sitting there saying " HELLOO??!" Like sorry, am I interrupting your conversation after you called me?!..end rant!

    When people can't put the roll of toilet paper on the roller right......it should come over the top towards you, not underneath.

    I'm the complete opposite. I even change it at my parents/boyfriends/friends houses if it's the "wrong" way. And for me, the "wrong" way is when it goes over. Drives me NUTS.

    Car drivers who insist on going through the red light at the crossing. It annoys me even more when it's raining.

    People who obnoxiously talk too loud when on their cellphone and feel no need to keep discretion of the details of their life.

    Daytime lights just absolutely drive me nuts! It's absolutely how there is proof everywhere you look that seatbelts will save your life and you need a law to make people use them. There is absolutely NO proof that DRLs do anything to improve your safety and yet every Tom, **** and Harry out there wants to shine high beam headlights in your face. Having lights in my face everywhere I go drives me NUTS!!

    I do this. Its because I didnt hear EVERYTHING you said (usually because Im zoned out) and am trying to figure it out, and dont want the person to have to repeat themselves. I think it is because I dont want there to be a long pause while I figure out what the person has said?
    Lol, I used to do this, now I just stay quiet while I figure out what they say. It adds a little suspense to the conversation.

    Okay, peep, some cars come with running daytime light that you cannot turn off. I own such a car, and I'm way too cheap to buy a new one.

    The toilet paper thing...only in a first world country would the under/over toilet paper ever be considered an issue.

    Now that's I've gotten all high-browed here, it's time to disclose my absurd pet peeves:

    People who stomp everywhere. Seriously, learn how to WALK, not throw your legs against the ground as if the ground is pissing you off.

    People who needlessly slam doors.

    When both sinks are full of dishes.

    People who are too lazy to empty the trash, so they just keep compacting it way beyond what is possible.

    People who NEVER change the toilet paper, but they leave half a sheet for you, because--you know--they didn't use all of it.

    The one teaspoon of yogurt left in the tub, because of an irrational fear of being the last person to finish the yogurt, ice cream, peanut butter, whatever.

    People who never read responses to forum topics. They just skip to the end and add their post.:glasses:

    I'm with the spelling/grammar group. Lately I've seen in several different places the word "probably" spelled "prolly". :grumble: Really? I thought I was missing something so I looked it up in Websters, it's not a word.

    Another pet peeve is rude people. There's no need for that. :noway:

    By the way, just so you know, the toilet paper goes over the top! :happy:

    When people use the term "dye my hair" instead of "color"
    You don't dye hair you color it!!!

    Not trying to be a smart *kitten*, but i have heard both terms used depending on where you are from.
    dye [ dī ] 1.color something by soaking: to color or stain something, e.g. fabric or hair, by soaking it in a coloring solution so that it takes on the new color permanently or semipermanently ~Webster dictionary

    Don't hate me....women who don't work, at anything, kids all in school, and they tell me how "busy" they are.....really? Yes, might be jealousy on my part but really, 7 hours a day without kids and a schedule and then you tell me you can't get laundry done or cook a decent supper for the family....ok, off my soap box....

    When men don't raise the toilet seat before they urinate... Yes, it DOES need to be relowered (except in a dedicated men's room) but please raise the seat before you go... some folks do have to sit there afterwards.... And PP #2.... flush the danged toilet before you leave!

    When people can't put the roll of toilet paper on the roller right......it should come over the top towards you, not underneath.

    When people can't put the roll of toilet paper on the roller right...it should come UNDERNEATH.

    The proper way: If you have a cat, underneath. If you don't have a cat, over the top.
