Things that tick you off.

I don't think we've had a good b*tch-fest in a while.  Unless I've missed it, which would make me sad, because I LOVE to complain!What irritates the crap out of you?  People, work, pet peeves, the knot,  whatever. And...GO!

Re: Things that tick you off.

  • The guy who stands on the street down the block from me, begging.  Then one day, he wasn't standing anymore, he had a wheelchair.  And I thought, "if you're going to add a wheelchair for sympathy, you should probably find a new block."

  • People who start their responses to other people with any of the following:"Sorry, but...""Um, no."or,"Uh, actually..."Take a second a realize what an intolerable snot you [the general "you"] sound like when you do that. I want to reach through the screen and slap the face off your head [the general "head"].

  • People who walk slow and shuffle their feet. People who are always late. Teenagers, specifically teenagers who feel the need to walk down the street shouting at 3 am.
  • lazy postal workers. If I have a package being delivered that says "fragile" and "perishable". Why the hell would they literally toss it onto my porch right into the rain puddle?
  • (This is what I thought Pumpkins thread was going to be, then I was all sad panda that it wasn't.)

  • Awesome.  It would appear I irritate TJ as much as she irritates me.

  • (This is what I thought Pumpkins thread was going to be, then I was all sad panda that it wasn't.)I started to give you a hard time about Pumpkin having a thread just like this below you, then I realized it wasn't really true because her thread was just 20 people asking was a toonie is.

  • Crazy guy that sits in the cubicle on the other side of me, please stop belching, groaning, sighing, smacking, and licking your fingers!!  I can't even enjoy my lunch because all I hear is *smack*smack*smack* as you pull your gross fingers out of your mouth.  And is it necessary to burp and groan every 5 seconds?!?!  Who taught you how to act in public?  Obviously no one.  It is so gross, I can't even stand it.I feel a little bit better.
  • The fact that DH quit smoking right when we started dating because he knew I hated it (I never asked him to do this, it was his decision), and then last year he started again.  We had to stop 4-5 times each day on the honeymoon so he could go have his smoke break, and he'd leave me sitting alone while he did it.   It pisses me off so much because while I was dating, smoking was one of my deal-breakers, and he had re-started after we got engaged, so it's not like I could do anything about it then.

  • The solicitor that came to my door making my dogs go BSC. I had to tell this guy today three times that I did not want to buy anything before he would STFU.

  • My office is close to the financial aid office at the university where I work.  More than one of them always pronounces "FAFSA" (free application for federal student aid) as "FASFA".  This is beyond ridiculous to me.  You look like a fucktard when you don't even know how to pronounce the most basic of financial aid terminology. 
  • I hate people who think it's ok to answer their cell phone anytime, anyplace.  ITS NOT.

  • Constantly getting referred to accidentally by my last name.  Yes, my last name is also a common first name.  Take a second and read before you call me.

  • Stupid people who call to tell me they're not going to pay their bill because they've been wrong in such-and-such a way.I don't care, we'll still put a lien on your property, so do what you want.And for today, my FI.

  • That I apparently did a headstand in my sleep last night and cannot turn my neck to the right today. I want to cry. Does that count?

  • I'm really irritated by all the flu panic going around.  My Mom must have said 5 times on Saturday that they might not come home from FL for Christmas if everyone is sick because they don't want to get the flu or bring it up here from FL.  She keeps saying our home town is supposed to really get hit hard by it.  It's a small town in IN.  How could she possibly know whether it's going to get the flu or not?  Who are the "they" that told her this?

  • It ticks me off when I'm in an aisle at Hobby Lobby, and the guy with the wide sweeper comes in behind me, and then acts like it's my fault he can't get down the aisle even though it's during business hours so he shouldn't be sweeping anyway, and it's probably the big ladder's fault he can't get through. THEN, he turns around and comes back and it's the same thing all over again!!! This happened to me last week, and I got so pissed at him, I left my buggy right there and had to leave the store so I didn't assault him. It ticks me off when I'm behind someone in the checkout and they wait until they've loaded their buggy and the cashier has told them their total to begin filling out their check. WTF??!! Either fill out all but the total before you get up there, or pull out your effing debit card! It ticks me off when my friend mentions my housewarming party on my FB wall instead of via text or FB message. I have several friends who will be all, "Thanks for inviting me to your party!!" even though they live too far away to attend. Awesome.
  • Hi Brie.  I know that feeling.  My BOSS still does it frequently.  WTF.

  • - My coworker who talks about her wedding/ posts about it on facebook nonstop.- FI's dad refusing to talk to us over the guest list issue.- My manager for days that she accepts an insane number of post-op patients to our unit, therefore giving us all ridiculous assignments/inadequate staffing.- The cost of houses/condos here.
  • Mine does too moose.  I can't wait to change my name after the wedding mostly for this reason.

  • I am losing body fat, but only in my boobs.

  • People who think theyre better than you because they have kids and like to say "youll understand when yo uhave kids" people who dont pick up after their dogs, treat their dogs badly my co-worker who will come and ask me repeatedly all day if the owner has called, and if he hasnt will ask me "do you think hes coming in today". I do not need to be asked this everyday, it does not matter.
  • Drunk, obnoxious, beer spilling people at sporting events.  I expect a little of that, obviously, but having beer spilled down your back when it's dark, 38 degrees, and windy is NOT my idea of a good time.

  • As a large person, trying to lose weight, thin people giving me unsolicited advice on how to lose weight and what I must be doing wrong, because im an idiot and thats why im fat? People who only talk to you for the sole purpose of talking about themselves, and then once they are finished the conversation is over.
  • People who don't like their children and treat them poorly.  There is a boy who has a disability and his parents work out at my gym.  They bring him in to sit there while they work out.  They also walk 10 feet in front of him and don't hold the door for him.  I'm not sure his disability, but he has trouble walking; it's not like he's lagging behind on purpose.

  • I have a friend that I wish would just go away.  Friend A is planning a baby shower for me.  She is 13 weeks pregnant herself.  She called friend B to tell her about the shower, and let her know that she is expecting.  Friend B started complaining that SHE wanted to throw the shower, blah blah blah, is always "out of the loop" and wanted to know why friend A had waited "so long" to tell her.  (we both agreed that she should wait to tell friend B, since then she'll be the "only one" not pregnant and we'll both get "woe is me" stories)  Friend A told her that they waited until she was out of 1st tri because it was a little dicey and she had to be put on hormones to make sure she could keep the baby.Friend B's response?  "Oh, well, if they had to put you on that, then you're not going to carry the baby to term anyway..."  And then she goes on to talk about HER baby that SHE lost.  (her "child" w/ a married man [she found out he was married the day after she slept with him and broke up] that she had to abort at 6 weeks because she had to have surgery for cysts on her ovaries - traumatic?  yes, but not appropriate for the conversation at hand)
    Holy Crap. We survived the first year!
