things that just generally tick you off...seemingly mundane things...

[yellowdogintexas]

like

those double toilet paper holders in public restrooms which manage to scrape the back of your hand

and the other kind which only let you get one square of tissue at a time (of course you always find this kind when you really need the tissue the most)

public toilets which do not flush well or kick up such a tsunami that the seat is always wet

restaurants which only offer powdered coffee creamer (coffee bleach)

people who cut you out in traffic then jump off the freeway at the next exit when they could have eased in behind you and slipped off the exit with no aggravation.

the current crop of specials on the PBS Beg A Thons. The radio ones are much more fun, at least down here.

being sick when your doctor is not in the office and you have to go to Doc in the Box or the Emergency Room.

1. People who dont wash their hands after going to the bathroom in public

It just grosses me out

[Arugula Latte]

2. That indestructible plastic packaging that is is sharper than knives when you cut into it.

Ugh. x(

[Fleshdancer]

4. I agree!

I know it's a successful Xmas afternoon when I have less than 5 cuts from those things after forcing the toys out of their boxes for my daughter. :grr:

It shouldn't take scissors and a screw driver get something out of a cardboard and plastic box.

3. cell phone addicts

I get annoyed at people who talk on their cell phone while driving, steering their grocery cart, trying to pay for something at a cash register, in restaurants....the list goes on. Just because you own one, doesn't mean you have to talk on it every minute of every day.

5. ME FIRST drivers.

Inconsiderate assholes who shouldn't be driving in the first place. Assholes in their Hummer or Lexus who cut you off because they drive a better car and think they can. I'm so sick of being cut off and nearly hit by assholes in luxury vehicles.
-People who don't read their mortgages and get pissed off when you tell them they can't have their insurance money without a bid for work and license and insurance from the contractor. If you will read your mortgage/note before you sign it, you will see that the insurance funds are given to you at the discretion of the mortgage company so you will fix your property instead of blowing the money on, say, a hummer you don't need.
-People who are mean to their dogs. Dogs who are the sweetest souls, who for whatever reason got stuck with an asshole who wanted to control them instead of love them. My poor Prudence is fucked up because someone treated her like shit. No matter what we do, she is scared to death of us. It breaks my heart to think that someone could take this bouncy, sweet, happy baby and hit her. Who does that? What freaks! :cry:
There are a lot more things, but these immediately come to mind.

6. People who interrupt me when I'm speaking

Most people don't seem to mind it, but it pisses me right the hell off. I'm very sensitive and tend to think carefully before I speak, so to too many people a pause in my speech tends to sound like a chance for them to jump in, when that's not what I intend at all. I have to put my hand up, rather like a STOP sign and say "I'm not done yet...."

7. People who pull out in front of you on a higher speed street, then go

UNDER the speed limit.

-Drivers who dig around the front seat of the car looking for something, when their eyes should be on the road.

-People who, in a busy pedestrian area, stop in front of you to gawk at something, or talk to their companions, without regard for the other zillions of people around them.

-Parents who buy those Cadillac-sized strollers, and use them as battering rams to get through a crowd. (Double-negative points when they use them to ferry their shit around, and let their toddler run amok in a crowd.)

-Women with huge purses who wait until EVERYTHING in their over-flowing shopping carts is rung up before starting the archaeological expedition to fish out their check books, take 10 fucking minutes to write the damned check out, balance their checkbook right there, and then go over the receipt, line-by-line, before moving their assess out of the way. They particularly love to do this when every fucking line in the grocery store has at least 10 people in it.

-People who talk on their cell phones in a movie theater while the movie is showing.

-People who think that whatever is going on with them is more important than whatever is going on with everyone else, and insist the fucking world step aside while their stuff gets taken care of.

-People who think they are better than others because they have more money.

I have more, but that's enough for now.

8. inappropriate use of the apostrophe

"Put used tray's here"

[LuckyLib]

9. Or the family name sign on the house that says "Miller's" or "Johnson's" -- grrrrr!!!
