Uncontrolable channel surfing by others
Leaving crumbs in the butter
People who drive slow on the on-ramp

I have more. I'll think of them as they happen to me.

#11 Postby **coriolis** » Tue Nov 23, 2004 6:23 pm

people who stand too close to me when they talk,
people who corner me in my cubicle and don't stop talking. People who sneak up behind me and just stand there while I'm working. Actually the guy next to me at work does all three. I've almost popped him a couple times.

JenBayles · #12 Postby **JenBayles** » Tue Nov 23, 2004 6:27 pm

People who fight with their spouses on the phone in open cubicle areas;
People who slurp their coffee so loud you can hear it down the hall;
People who clip their fingernails whilst slurping said coffee in the office;
The habit those in the Northeast have of adding an "R" to the end of every word that is supposed to end in a vowel. We Southerners abhor "R's". :lol:

The Big Dog · #13 Postby **The Big Dog** » Tue Nov 23, 2004 8:11 pm

Here's more from my corner of the world...

Tourists on the road at rush hour
Karaoke
Line dancing at weddings
The one person at every wedding who feels it is her duty to make everyone dance
Christmas sales before Thanksgiving
Christmas lights before Thanksgiving
17 year olds trick-or-treating

LOL - wooo-hooo! This is FUN! :lol:

People who pull out in the left-hand fast lane
and don't go any faster than the slower-lane
people and block traffic:

People who's dentures don't fit and they "clickety-
clack" when they talk:

People who call me and want refills on medicine,
but, don't know what medicine it is that they want
refilled....??? (*I'm psychic - right?) :lol:

LOL, I'm finished - don't get me started!

Rudeness in general. People who think the entire world revolves around them. This area is full of people like that!!

JenBayles- I have lived in the north east all my life and dont know anyone who adds Rs to the ends of their words. I do know that we tend to talk a little too fast for some of you from other areas........

--People that try to talk to me when I'm on the phone. I'm already talking to somebody..one at a time, please.

--People that drive $35,000 SUV's that apparently don't have working turn signals..

--THE WORST! People that say HELLO! to get your attention. That boils my blood for some reason. Perhaps because it's just plain rude.

#17 Postby **Cookiely** » Tue Nov 23, 2004 10:28 pm

People who take their chips and dip it and put the chip back in the dip. I don't want to taste their saliva. Cooks who taste the food with a spoon and then put it back in the pot and stir. Drives me crazy.

Hmmmm...

how 'bout a step-daughter who doesn't understand what it means to:
re-seal the cereal box.
close the cap on the mustard (how hard can THAT be?!).
re-fill the ice tray when there's only one cube left in it.
at least put water in a dirty dish put in the sink.

er, actually, I believe I could go on and on with this list... :uarrow:

But really, it's:
drivers who shouldn't be driving.
managers/supervisors who shouldn't be managing/supervising.
rude and/or mean people.
basketball players who only get suspended for beating up their customers.
people who can't do anything else while talking on a cell phone; as in drive a car.
power-hungry, ego-maniacs

er, actually, I believe I could go on and on with this list too... :uarrow:

weathermom · #19 Postby **weathermom** » Wed Nov 24, 2004 8:55 am

Step daughter sounds kind of like a husband.......... :lol:

Boy I have a few and I'll try to keep them lighthearted.....not too serious (because I have another list like you have Johnathan, oh yeah).

- Drivers who talk on their cells and forget their driving a car. Weaving into your lane, slowing way down, ignoring the green light. Just generally pretending they're in their home yakking on the phone.

- Tailgaters - when did this start, 10 or 15 years ago? What ever happened to proper car length? Is this just not taught anymore and/or are in-a-major-hurry drivers just throwing caution to the wind?

- People who cut in line.

- People who are very impatient to wait in line. If they have a very good reason, then I'll trade places with them. You know, child coming home from school who doesn't have a key to get in. Or they'll be late for work. But if you're just a type A personality that hates waiting, I'm ignoring you buddy!

- Grocery shoppers that do not follow the rules of the road. Cart on right, and pull it way over if you're going to stop. So I can get my cart around yours. Makes sense doesn't it? Now is that so hard to follow...unless of course you're in England. Guess carts go forward on the left side of aisle? LOL

- Newly married couples that grocery shop together, all lovey-dovey. Cart in middle, couple is meandering up and down aisle, should we buy this salad dressing honey? Puke! I've got my coupons, list, outta my way Nick & Jessica.....LOL

- Grocery shoppers that call home constantly asking family members if they need this or that item - again tying up the aisle.

I have a lot of pet peeves when it comes to grocery shopping!

- Neighbors: DIY's vs non-DIY's do not mix. When I'm out doing yardwork or painting windows, a 5 minute chat with a neighbor who wouldn't know a paintbrush from a screwdriver is fine, but if they want to chat for an hour, steam is coming out of my ears. And I'm painting glass at that point, LOL When they say - oh I don't know why you're doing all of this work yourself, we just hire someone......I am ready to dump that can of paint all over them. You want to yell - do you not have a budget?

Okay, my list is getting me all worked up. Best quit for now...he he
