Tell us 1thing that pisses you off IMMEDIATELY

[LibraLiz1973]

A song, tv show, neighbor, pizza delivery guy, someone who works out next to you at the gym, the sound of squeaky brakes...

Mine:

I go from comatose to insane bitch in less than a second when I'm buying something and the customer service is really really bad.

Others:

People being rude to the elderly
Tail gaters
Loud Cell Phone Talkers
The Macarena song

[Archae]

1. What the hell is wrong with the Macarena song?

I happen to like it! :silly:

(The "Macadamia" one too...)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oSMTzdDeIs

:D

[Deja Q]

84. Two old men drooling over a lot of jailbait. Pedophilia. Ewww!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wgl7st70jek

[EstimatedProphet]

2. Assholes on the highway

[w8liftinglady]

4. don't get me started,cell-phoners who straggle lanes

[EstimatedProphet]

Yeah

Cell phoners in the fast lane driving slow really piss me off

[w8liftinglady]

40. people standing in the middle of grocery aisles as if they were GOD

I am very polite,but trying to get around these rude bastards is a challenge

[libnnc]

57. I have never understood those people

here I come down the isle with my cart, it's obvious that I need to get past them and they look at me like they're supposed to be the ONLY people in the store and the coffee isle is their's alone.

insane

[ashling]

63. Ding, ding,ding,ding,ding - good answer!!!

I get really pissed at people who meet there friends in the middle of the aisles for an extended conversation.

I am wont to say something like:

"Might I respectfully suggest that you take your little reunion to the seating area in the deli section where you can then continue your pointless little conversation instead of blocking the frickin aisles and keeping the rest of us from actually SHOPPING ! ? ! ! "

well, not that exactly, but something like it.

[LibraLiz1973]

7. You mean assholes who drive 2 miles an hour in the left hand lane?

Do you mean those bastards????

:grr:

[EstimatedProphet]

10. Often

[LibraLiz1973]

3. Another one of mine:

People who treat their waiter or waitress like shit.

Ugh. SO ANNOYING!!

[elshiva]

5. People who hate fat people.

They scare me. :hide:

[LibraLiz1973]

8. Yeah, that gets me too

It's such a dumb reason to hate someone.

Along with ethnicity, sexual persuasion, or economic status. Such dumb reasons to hate anyone.

[elshiva]

12. I don't like it when they put "No Fat Chicks" on their car bumper.

So, you don't want to sleep with them, that's ok. But broadcasting your hatred is just wrong. There's too much hatred in this world. The guy's mom or aunt is probably a fat chick, too...

[zanne]

72. The guy is probably fat, too.

What is it with men? A woman looks in a mirror and sees a hundred imperfections. A man looks in a mirror and sees Adonis.

[zanne]

71. As a fat person, I know what you mean.

I think skinny people want to take over the world.

[begin_within]

6. When someone makes a left turn right in front of you at an intersection.

They don't care if they risk a life-threatening crash, just to get home 4 seconds sooner.

[otherlander]

32. What about people who are so paranoid

that they refuse to make any left turns ever, out of fear of getting hit, thus making their routes about five or six times longer by making only right turns?

[qnr]

39. Actually, that kind of sounds like me on my scooter, when I can't get the stoplight

to change :)

[begin_within]

54. That used to be me.

And I'm still around, so I guess it has some merit.

[shanine]

56. That's what I do

But I only drive myself around so it shouldn't piss off others. The added stress is just not worth it to me. We have no lights, horrendous traffic, etc.

[ashling]

64. I can remember when it was still illegal

to turn right on red. When they changed the law in my state so that you could turn right on red I started turning right on red even when I didn't have to. LOL

[Redstone]

9. People who are rude to waitresses / waiters at restaurants. I've been known to have words

with those same arrogant assholes. And they were not pleasant words at all.

Redstone

[Danger Mouse]

65. That's one of my pet peeves, too.

Having worked in the customer service industry myself, i can sympathize with how tough the work can be. There's no need to be asses to them and make their lives harder. Snotty pieces of crap who bully them just to make themselves feel bigger deserve to have a giant loogie hocked in their food.

[ruiner4u]

11. primetime network tv..

its all just reality crap and hyped up gameshows anymore..

[DS1]

13. this will be a long list

wearing flip flops
chewing gum
saying "like" too much
"know what I'm sayin?"
people giving orders in line and having a conversation on their cellphones at the same time (the reason the US Post Office puts up signs telling you to not do this is because they will kill you) (and I'm okay with that)
self-righteous traffic vigilante assholes who drive in the left lane to slow everyone down. I don't speed anymore, so I'm not affected, but still. Move over, let the cops do their job
writing third-party out of state checks in the express line
any time the lines are stacked more than 4 deep in any store, that's bad management
anyone who shows up with a list at dunkin donuts, and can't read it, and has to call back to base
websites with 'mystery meat' navigation - which is the industry term of clicking a button or link and having no idea where it's going
myspace pages with any music that auto-plays
most myspace pages in general
people who push the cross-walk button, then jaywalk anyway, and are a block away by the time the 'walk' light turns to "don't walk"
people who are rude to servers or bartenders
people who show up one hour late for reservations and still demand a table
people who piss me off
people who fly into a rotary (that's a roundabout for British readers) without even looking and then honk ME for cutting them off
people who get to screw Katsumi on a regular basis
oops

people who edit posts without telling why

edit: change effected to affected. I'm a moron, and piss myself off


DS1

[susanna]

31. Okay, now this is some funny here...

My DH and I were waiting in line to apply for passports in a local Post Office. We notice a sign that says "Please disengage from your cell phone calls before approaching the Postal Workers."

DH and I looked at each other and immediately said to each other, almost in unison: "That must happen all the time for them to post a sign!"

At first I found it hilarious, but then I got really, really sad. It's not like you can't WAIT to discuss your business on the phone. Right? Right?

[DS1]

37. I saw it happen right in front of me today

then the asshole has the audacity to break back in line and demand more sugar packets

It was a coffee store

[susanna]

43. Damn.

I don't get out much anymore, do I? ;-)

[entanglement]

62. Dude, that's like, a really long list of like, dislikes or something.

Know what I'm sayin? :evilgrin:

:hide:

[Lady President]

14. "Don't take it personally"

1. Someone saying, "don't take it personally" makes my head explode. First, human nature requires you take things personally-- good, bad or mediocre, it's has to be how you personally feel. Secondly, I think it is just a cop out. Basically, someone wants to insult you and then blame you for being offended. ARG!

2. Stemless wine glasses make me crazy

3. Co-workers without boundaries. I have some co-workers who have become friends, but for the most part I don't want to hear about your sex life, watch you floss, or see 100s of pictures. (A co-worker this week sent me a link to her wedding and honeymoon photo album which had 1000+ picture-- everyone looked happy in the first 3, but after that I was done.)

[RedCappedBandit]

15. The stupid "abovetheinfluence" commercial where..

the dog is talking to his owner, telling her how she isn't as much fun when she smokes.


I mean c'mon. Who doesn't love their dog when they're a little high?

:rofl:


Seriously though.. I hate those commercials.

[Kutjara]

45. Oh yeah, that one is like nails down a chalkboard for me.

Any government attempt to be "down with the kids" always ends up being a load of irritating, preachy crap. You can just imagine the whole sorry process, as a committee of dust-covered bureaucrats hires some advertising company that usually only wins campaigns fronted by Billy Mays on late-night cable, to come up with a "hip" and "happening" series of ads that "really speak to youth."

The result is always a steaming pile of cringingly embarrassing old tosh that any teenager with two functioning braincells can see through like a 12k Klieg light through a piece of Saranwrap.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

16. Subwoofers making my house shake.

I really hate that.

[Joe Fields]

17. people who talk on cell phones while driving.

If I were allowed to shoot them, I would.

[BarenakedLady]

18. Having my privacy violated.

Don't mess with my shit!

:mad:

[billyskank]

60. I promise

never to mess with your shit.

[buddhamama]

61. i am the same

:hi:

[Wapsie B]

19. Yeah all that and those having a hot sexual relationship

while you don't. :P

[snailly]

20. People over the age of 30 with myspace pages.

They just seem like a bunch of lechers who can't let go though they're old enough to be these girls fathers and should probably start being good dads to the daughters they've got.

[VLC]

27. So by "people" you mean predators.

[susanna]

34. That's funny.

I am a woman and harbor no evil designs on anyone's sons OR daughters...I just happen to work in an industry where it is easier and more efficient to have a MySpace page than not.

So, your peeve is interesting to me. Not everyone over 30 is to be feared, just for the record...and yes, I'm a bit over thirty. But I have lots of under-30s as my "friends" in the MS world. None of whom I'm interested in dating...LOL.

on edit: smarter words

[snailly]

21. People over the age of 30 with myspace pages.

They just seem like a bunch of lechers who can't let go though they're old enough to be these girls fathers and should probably start being good dads to the daughters they've got.

[Oeditpus Rex]

41. People who make unfounded generalizations

redundantly.

[Blue-Jay]

22. Substituting numbers for words pisses me off.

The English language is dying b4 my very eyes, m8. I have a grammar primer 4 sale, but I will give it 2 someone 4 free.

[fizzgig]

23. a lack of basic manners

ie: not thanking people for holding open a door or dropping the door on other people, not saying please or thank you, not saying 'excuse me' when you bump into someone, etc

but nothing sets me off like bad table manners...your napkin goes in your lap; chew with you mouth close; don't, for the love of the gods, lick your knife! gah!

[rockymountaindem]

24. People who begin ordering at a food establishment by saying "I want"

I mean, seriously, the person taking your order is not an automaton. Would it kill you to say something nice like, "I would like" or "could I have" or "how about a cheese sandwich?" instead of "I want a chicken cordon bleu"?

And no, I'm not now nor have I ever been a waiter. I just think it's not nice to treat them like slaves.

[mzteris]

25. losing a long eloquent rant - er - post

when the 'puter crashes

when the connection decides it's going to route through Alpha Centauri

when people dial the wrong number and get made at you

Stupid people. I hate stupid people. (Note: not "unintelligent people". Not mentally challenged people. STUPID PEOPLE who ain't got sense to poor pee out'n their boots, if you know what I mean.)

Not-soon-enough-to-be-ex's.

People who assume they KNOW WHAT I'M THINKING.

People who don't think LOGICALLY and Critically.

People who think that just because I've pointed out the fallacies in their arguments/premise, that I disagree with their POV.

hmmmmmmm - red lights piss me off (unless I WANT ONE - which case I don't get one, then green lights piss me off.)

Use of the word "supposively" or "clearify"

No price tags/prices on an item.



er..... I guess I should stop now?


Oh wait - oh yeah - People who think I'm being rude to waiter/waitresses and checkout people when I'm NOT - I just don't seem to always recognize that they're "there". I mean, it's like the ATM, I'm not rude to the ATM. There's a job to be done, do it. Take the order, bring the order, fill the glasses, bring the bill. You're not my best friend. (and yeah, I used to wait tables for living. so don't go there.) Some people wanna be all chatty cathy and I'm your bud, others don't. Respect that. I've got kids to control. OCD people - including self - to nudge into making a DAMN DECISION about what to ORDER - fgs! - sometimes I just don't have time nor the inclination for idle chitchat with people I don't know and will probably never see again. Please note - I'm never actively RUDE (unless they're rude first) I'm just "not engaged". Aspie spectrum people get accused of being rude - a whole damn lot - but they're not. They just don't notice sometimes.

And oh yeah - when people don't get wtf I'm saying and can't follow my train of logic. Which, of course, makes PERFECT SENSE if you'd just think about it, dam-nit!

:hide:

[jeff30997]

28. If you add 2 or 3 other things on your list....

Every atoms in the Universe pisses you off! :)

[mzteris]

35. on some days -

it sure seems like it!

On others - nothing seems to bother me at all. Unfortunately, it seems like those are few and far between lately. :(


So you're saying my post was a bit

[jeff30997]

47. Wow! I'm blind !

Lol!Great smiley.:)

[RetroLounge]

68. "Not-soon-enough-to-be-ex's."

RL

[ghostsofgiants]

26. When the bastards living below me smoke indoors and the smoke comes up through the vents.

Like right now, for instance.

x(

[CC]

Some one that tells me how I

feel. You don't know how I feel unless I tell you and you are not to dense to actually hear what I say instead of what you think I said. A person could die a long slow death if they dare tell me how I feel.

[susanna]

29. Thank you for this. :-)

I HATE:

Poor or careless food service (as a former server who was well-trained)
Agree with your disdain of disrespecting the elderly
Lack of respect towards cemeteries, monuments, etc. (I actually saw a bunch of people at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier playing CARDS once - during the ceremony)
Tailgaters/cell phone drivers...you can spot both of them a MILE away
People who will do anything to advance their place in traffic when everyone else is obviously waiting their turn
Cell phones in obvious use at: restaurants, movie theaters, concerts, hospitals, etc.

Just a few. But I'm really not a tight-ass. ;-)

[Onceuponalife]

30. Smoking near me and cell-phonies talking way louder

than they need to.

[otherlander]

33. People keeping birds as pets

[qnr]

36. Someone telling me how I feel n/t

[WindRavenX]

38. people who order "upside down" caramel macchiatos at Sbux

You're an asshole.

You're getting a modified vanilla latte with real caramel sauce, assmunch.

[Oeditpus Rex]

42. Willful ignorance

Especially when combined with arrogance.

Yes, be proud of your asshattery. It's quite endearing.

:eyes:

[QMPMom]

44. Anyone hurting (emotionally or physically) my kids.

Meaningless lyrics threads.

Nicole _________, with whom I worked for far too long.

My mother's sister.

My husband's sister.

[Heidi]

46. Mean-spiritedness. (nt)

[MonkeyFunk]

48. whistling

it just cuts through me.

[nolabels]

49. Any type of official that cheats someone out something that they have worked hard for..........

all their life even maybe. The current NBA scandal is loaded with some very fine examples of this. It also goes to show how also there is possibility of just one person screwing a whole system up if proper discretion isn't applied.

This is what i am getting on about really :mad:

"FBI probes allegations NBA ref bet on games he worked"
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=215x50569

Did Tim Donaghy and crew fixed game 3 of Suns-Spurs?

[Initech]

50. Seeing Bush's face or hearing his voice

[Pushed To The Left]

51. Shallow, arrogant, judgmental and closed-minded people

Prejudice and stereotypes against people who live at home, overweight people, people who enjoy certain forms of entertainment, etc. It's not racism, but it's the same type of mental laziness and ignorant way of thinking that racist people have.

Anybody who uses the term "loser" to describe another human being based solely on his or her lack of success in life. I'd like to find sort of a counter-word to describe these arrogant, prejudiced, ignorant, closed-minded and judgmental idiots who use the term "loser" to describe people this way.
These are the types of people I think about when I look at my newest bumper sticker that says: "If only closed minds came with closed mouths".

[UrbScotty]

52. Anti-gay slurs (nt)

[BlueIris]

53. People who won't use their turn signals, people who tell me to "smile" or "cheer up,"

people who ask if I have a boyfriend and when I say no or decline to comment ask, "But why not?" and people who refer to women without children as "childless."

[Danger Mouse]

66. 'Smile' and 'cheer up' are pat phrases used by people...

who have no idea what's going on with a person and really don't care to. they just want them to buck up and stop being so DEPRESSING. :P

[Mojambo]

91. It's all about how you're making THEM feel.

When someone tells me to cheer up I just want to fucking smash their face into a jelly-paste.

[Danger Mouse]

67. dupe.

n/t

[Guava Jelly]

55. Republicans

I don't get it..
What Idiot would be one?

[Orsino]

58. The use of the word "retard"...

...or "retarded" as a synonym for "bad" or "stupid." It's a cowardly slur.

[idgiehkt]

59. this is going to sound cliche

but when people make racist comments around me. They are ignorant enough to think everyone feels like they do. It's not just the racism, it's the 'wtf' feeling I get, like, 'do I look that f*cking ignorant to you' or something feeling I have. Here there is a large hispanic population and so many people around here both white and black are always griping about it. Drives me nuts.

[Deja Q]

69. Arrogant, do-nothing lying people

Like a coworker who, despite some strengths, has everybody do his job and he knocks them, management, and everything else behind their backs. How do these inhuman sleazebags get anywhere?

[zanne]

70. Dropping things.

I drop things. Alot. Yesterday, a jar of olives. What a mess, and no olives in my salad. This morning, a cup of coffee. No coffee, and my favorite coffee mug in a million pieces. AAAAAAAGH!

[RetroLounge]

73. So much, so so much

Cheating spouses. Lying spouses. Spouses in general.

The "friend" who slept with her.

People who constantly use passive aggresive bullshit and then act like they have no idea what you are talking about.

People who play their rap "music" as loud as possible in their little tuner honda with the boom muffler and unpainted spoiler on the back and think they're cool.

Women putting their makeup on while driving in front of me in their car.

Disrespecting the elderly.

Piss-poor customer service.

Bill collectors in general.

People who show up an hour early at your garage sale and assume they are special enough for you to let them shop early.

Popup Software nags ("Your virus software subscription has run out, renew now?")

Poor software design.

Clowns, magicians, karaoke singers.

Drunks

RL

[Omphaloskepsis]

74. Things annoy me..

But, I can't remember the last time I went into "insane bitch" mode. I am pretty good at ignoring things.

[Frank Cannon]

75. People who don't have the good sense to say "I don't know"...

when they don't know the answer to your question, and who instead offer you a string of useless, insulting bullshit to avoid looking "stupid".

That's my #1 pet peeve.

[Burma Jones]

76. Inattentive Drivers, that's pretty much it

All the other things that annoy me, well, I just had to let that all go.

[NuttyFluffers]

77. cheerful, go-getter, morning people. and lord spare them if they say "carpe diem" to me

from zero to throttling in less than 4 paces. apparently when i'm really angry i can fly across any distance. who knew? :shrug: maybe that 'carpe diem' SOB, but we'll never know now, will we? }(

[yellowdogintexas]

78. burning my tongue on food that is too hot. nt

[skygazer]

79. People who leave fliers on my car

Litterbugs

People who take out their frustrations on service personnel

Incompetence

People who drive really, really slow on two-lane roads with no passing areas but refuse to pull over and let the line of cars behind them by

[SoxFan]

80. Knucklescuffers on straight-pipe Harleys

"Gee, my manhood is lacking....I think I'll draw attention to myself by revving my bike"

[LeftyMom]

81. Bad phone manners

:grr:

[flying rabbit]

82. Phone trees

especially the ones where you have to go through 6 different menus and and sub menus that have no options even remotely related to why you called. Then you finally get an option to talk to a human, get put on hold and are rewarded with a recorded message telling you that the company in question takes its customer service seriously. "The wait time is 30 minutes-thank you- we value your business".
:grr:

[Pool Hall Ace]

83. People who tell me, "you're so quiet!"

Then try to "bring me out of my shell." :grr:

Yes, frequently I'm not very chatty. That doesn't mean that there's something wrong, or that it's some kind of a challenge for you. I like me that way.

[Seashell Eyes]

86. Yes

That pisses me off too. Some people are quiet. Deal with it.

[RedCappedBandit]

90. I'm with you on that one

People seem to think there must be something wrong with you if you'd rather sit and think sometimes than join them in their inane blabber..

[ChoralScholar]

85. Entrance doors that are to the LEFT of exit doors....

We've agreed on driving the right side of the road - why not extend the same logic to entry/exit doors.

[Liberal Lassie]

87. My list would be too long but just a few off the top:

My husband telling me I am "too sensitive". As if he would know sensitive if it bit his penis off.

My husband telling me to "not take things personally". (Get away from me or you will be eating oatmeal from now on).

Republicans

Pat Robertson, John Hagee, King George, King Cheney and anyone else who is Velcro stuck to their butts.

People who don't appreciate my car window sticker that says
NAZI'S WOUDN'T SAY "ENOUGH" EITHER

My neighbors children. They are evil little republican swine who graffiti my sticker and stir up a bee nest in the back yard.

My husband.

[Nay]

88. TVs on everywhere, all the time. Good God, people, must you

have that drivel poured into your brains 24/7?

People who don't turn off their TVs when you visit their homes. RUDE.

People who come into the quiet lunchroom (where ppl go to eat and read or talk quietly) and proceed to yak on their FUCKING cell phones for an hour, conducting one pointless, idiotic conversation after another.

People (always men!) who tell me to SMILE or CHEER UP. Well, asshole, if I could chop you into tiny fucking pieces right here and now, I WOULD BE CHEERED UP CONSIDERABLY. How about it?

Drivers who pull up way back of the white line at a stop light, then creep up a couple of feet at a time, making everyone behind them creep up, too. Very rude.

Coworkers who don't refill paper/make coffee when it's empty/pick up their messes/empty the shredder bag when it's full -- YOUR MOMMY ISN'T HERE ANYMORE TO DO FOR YOU, ASSHOLE.

Bosses whose grammar and spelling suck -- but who refuse to run their papers by me, the local grammar guru. The upside to this is that I get to see them look STOOPID in front of vice presidents! That was truly priceless!

[Blue Gardener]

89. Animal, Child, or Elder Abuse

Actually, if I see any living thing being belittled or abused, it really pisses me off. We're supposed to be living in a civilized society.

[Arkansas Granny]

92. People who discard used disposable diapers e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e!!!

You see them in parking lots and alongside the road, and that's bad enough, but where it really pisses me off is to find one on the bank of the creek or in an otherwise pristine natural setting. Some people get downright nasty with the things. It just makes me want to find out where these people live and go poop on their front porch.

[alarimer]

93. People who do not put their shopping carts in the little corrals

when they are done using them. Especially the ones that leave them in the parking spaces.
