Sure, I have BIG things that annoy me, but it's funny.  Sometimes the LITTLE things annoy me more!  (And, FYI, this is meant to be a FUN thread. :oD  I don't sit and think about these things all day, it's just something I noticed this morning!)

  1. People who LABEL everything in black permanent marker!  Sure, the inside cover of a book, a backpack, whatever.  But when people scrawl their name across the front of a binder, bag, whatever.  GRRRR.
  2. When people don't untie their shoes, then get all pissy when they can't get them on again!  It's not rocket science!!  GRRR.
  3. I know someone that outlines her upper lip about TWICE the size of what it is naturally, then fills the WHOLE space in with red lipstick, mistakenly thinking it makes her lips look big. OMG.  You have NEVER seen anything like this!  GRRR.
OK, I'm done.  For now.  LOL

People who tell you how bad sweetners are, while they are downing their third coke of the day, on top of the sugared coffee, and sugared cereal with more sugar on top!
Ooh people that call here (my job, I'm a receptioniost at a commercial truck dealrship) and ask where is this? I mean you called here buddy!! Then their like who called me? I don't freaking know we have 3 buildings and 60 extensions, check your damn voice mail people!! Ugh!
I hate went people call me a receptionist I AM NOT A RECEPTIONIST, don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with receptionists, but i am not one!

People who don't use their turn signals (indicator lights, directionals, etc) while driving.

People who won't move over to an empty lane when there are cars trying to merge.

People who flash me in the slow lane -- I'm above the freakin' speed limit (true, not by much) and there is a whole 'nother lane (usually empty) next to me -- go the h#$& around me.

Been here 14 years and still hate driving here.  In TX, slow cars will pull over to the shoulder to let faster ones pass (on the back roads of course); in Japan, cars will turn off (or down) lights at intersections to avoid blinding on-coming traffic.

Women who shave their eyebrows and then draw them in.  Haven't they heard of plucking, waxing, or threading???

Coack-You'd REALLY get annoyed driving in Chicago!!!

1) When nasty ass coworkers wear a thong and then you notice the next day that it is the same one as yesterday

2) When people go through the Tim Horton's drive through at rush hour and order 6 coffees, 12 muffins, 4 breakfast sandwhiches and a box of timbits

3) When creepy guys ogle and hit on my sister and then forcing me to pretend to be an overly territorial boyfriend

4) When a bird just HAS to sh*t on my truck after I washed it
I worked at a natural food store for a long time and I hated it when the vegetarians would tell us "meat eaters" how BAD red meat is for us and will kill us - all while smoking a cigarette and drinking a beer! HELLO!

These threads pop up every now and then, and I'm fascinated about how my peeve at the moment varies...

Recently (actually this morning):  People who try to apologize for a screw up, minor or major, by saying "my bad" - like, REALLY?  How about helping me fix it instead of shrugging your shoulders with an "oh well!"

Oh I got another one! When people look over your shoulder at work to read what you are doing! I mean I know I'm out in the open but can you atleast PRETEND to respect my privacy!!

When walking, someone moving in front of me and then walking slower than me.  This happens EVERY TIME I WALK TO AND FROM CLASS!!!! 

Or a group of people taking up the entire width of the upstairs track at the gym so they can talk to each other while walking.  It's like, why can't you just go anywhere else and do that?

THE SOUND OF STYROFOAM! EEEE!!!

Also, when someone leaves the windshield wipers on when it's stopped raining, and it's squeaking.

 

People who whistle...I have no idea why that bothers me but it really does.

Shoe scuffing...pick up your feet when you walk.

The sound of nail clippers clipping.

Panhandling teenagers.

I agree with the windshield wiper thing too. 

It's funny my best friend is annoyed by the same things....guess thats why we get a long so well. 

People who tell you off for something and then do the EXACT thing they just told you off for.

People who expect me to be a mind reader at work: I work in a bakery and when they want bread sliced they just hold it out in front of them and it's like "what? I'm not a freaking mindreader people".

People who put their bread on the GLASS cake counter (I have to clean it and do you KNOW how hard that is with breadcrumbs all over it) ARGH!

When I complain about somethin (everyone likes a winge) and someone else starts on about how my problems nothing and they have it much worse.

People who are such snobs and call me snobbish.

People in general :D

Hehehe, I'm a very irritated person
I'm a corporate recruiter. I see the DUMBEST mistakes on people's resume. The other day some girl listed this as her hobbies:

Talking on the phone and hanging out with my friends.

Just now I got an application through our internal site from someone who put she makes $36,000,000,000,000.00 a year doing customer service. I'm in the wrong field.

Oh wow spirochete:  "Talking on the phone and hanging out with my friends."

Are you kidding?  If I ever saw a resume that stated that....that person would go to the bottom of my pile or in the trash.  Why some people have a hard time being professional...it's beyond me. There's a time and place for everything.  In all my years of hiring, I never saw anything like that.... 

the sound of cracking knuckles drives me crazy! My guy does it just to bug me sometimes.
Oh God I have seen it all. Let me see if I can find my personal recent favorite:


1/2005 - 12/2006 Hooters Austin, Texas
Industry: Food and Beverage Production
Waitress

Overall being a Hooter Girl is extremely smiley fun! Being able to communicate and have good communication skills with customers helps you later on in life. From the hugs, pictures, signatures of calendars, to the birthday, bachelor, and even girly songs is just phenomenal. Hooter girls are friendly faces and can be considered friends. We make people smile and people come in to see our smiles.

How abou this:

 

People who refer to their driver's license as "them".  For instance:  A cop pulls them over and asks to see their license.  They say "Let me see if I can find them".  A driver's license is a singular object!!!!  Well, unless you have 2 of them, otherwise dont say them!!!!!!!!!  If you say it around me, you might get punched in the throat!!!!

peeps who put their yearly registration stickers all over the license plate instead of in one place, over top the old, each year.  like anyone needs to know if you were registered in 2002!
