So, here I am sitting in the library trying to catch up on some vegweb news and this darn boy sits a few seats away and I can hear his stupid music blaring through his ipod head phones. UGH. Of course he doesn't notice that the people around him can hear it (perfectly) and therefore does not even consider turning the volume lower. People do this all the time & it just really annoys me.
So what are some of your everyday annoyances??
i am always annoyed that i am such a vegweb addict.
Rude customers >:(
People who double dip.
People who don't flush.
People who don't spay or neuter their outdoor pets.
People who use their cell phones in restaurants.
My tea cup smells like shallots.
This is life with the boy does this dishes. Red Rose + Shallot = Bad Combo
People who think that everyone on the bus should be as enchanted by their noisy, bratty toddlers as they are. By extension, people who think that brattiness in children is "cute."
People who speed through red lights.
Mouth breathers.
Loud eaters.
Aaaaaaand, people in enormous SUVs who talk on their cell while driving. >:(

Yeah, I got hit by one of those last Tuesday. She was so busy on her cell phone she ran the red light and clipped my rear bumper. I got some nice new running lights and a pretty pretty paint job on my bumper and she gets to pay higher insurance rates as a result. I hope she learned a lesson.
People who constantly pop their chewing gum.

YES, yes yes yes.
And, people who stand in the middle of a sidewalk/stairwell/anywhere else where lots of people are walking and have a conversation...and look at you like you're the annoying one when you try to get by.

yes, yes, and yes..
along the same lines...people that stand in the middle of a grocery store aisle talking and do not even acknowledge when you ever so politely say "excuse me" to get by. Also people that let there kids run wild in stores or restaurants! That makes me nuts. >:(
people who chew gum with their mouths open. or chew anything with their mouths open, really.
the fact that since my bf is a foot taller than me, he always walks like 10 paces ahead of me. i know he doesn't do it on purpose, but it makes me feel like i live in a woman-hating culture where i am forced to walk behind my man. lame.
people who talk to me because i am stupid because i didn't hear what they said correctly and ask for clarification.
people who don't listen when i talk to them.
ohio drivers.
People that smell....seriously, I have a bionic nose or something and any type of body odor seriously grosses me out to the point of puking. I have to get away fast and if that is impossible I have to put my hand inconspicuously over my nose and hope I don't puke. I don't often use the word puke but vomit just wouldn't cut it for body odor. ;D
-people that litter, don't recycle, and use the plastic grocery store bags
-people that bitch they are overwieght while eating a honeybun or crispy creme
-people that smoke in thier cars with the windows rolled up and the baby in the back seat
-people that look at me and ask "what are you eating!" in the lunchroom at work, nice and loud
so everyone can hear.
Im done now
People flicking cigarette butts from car windows and people who don't return shopping carts to the proper stalls. Also, those who fail to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks (the right-of-way laws aren't enforced here.) Basically, rudeness and a lack of human decency.
this is a HUGE one of mine! i live in the city and ive gotten pretty vocal to the people that 1. wont stop, or 2. stop cus im walking and making them slowdown/stop and honk their horns at me or yell. i've started flicking them off and yelling right back that I have the right of way which includes me pointing to myself and then moitioning to the crosswalk lines on the road. oh and also a 'Fuck you Motherfucker!! I have the fucking right of way, Fuck off!!" city life has made my language more sailor-like, oddly.
People that assume that because I have no children I just sit around all day and do nothing. (Very common here). Or assume that we have next to no expenses because, "After all, you don't have kids!"
People that ask you a question, and then while you're talking turn and start talking to someone else.
Or while you're still talking someone else comes up and interrupts to talk to the questioner, and the questioner turns away from you and talks to them--or worse, walks away with them and leaves you standing there trying to finish telling them what they asked!!
People who think that everyone on the bus should be as enchanted by their noisy, bratty toddlers as they are. By extension, people who think that brattiness in children is "cute."
This also goes for dogs. A little training goes a long way. (When your dog has jumped up and peed on my leg for the 5th time, I don't want to hear "Oh, he's just so excited to see you!")
People who think they are better than anyone else because of their occupation or education level (doesn't make you a decent person, and it also doesn't mean you know everything. And NEVER, EVER piss off the person who is about to make your food).
Bad drivers.
People who walk soooo slowly and take up the whole freaking sidewalk/aisle/whatever. Or people who stop in the middle of the sidewalk/aisle and have a conversation, still taking up the whole space, and when you say "excuse me" they move about an inch.
People who let their children or pets get obese. It's just sad.
I dislike when the air conditioning is turned on insanely cold in public places. Particularly if they are places I have to be for a period of time. Such as in class.
Perhaps my body temperature is just skewed from not having AC at home or work. But its been a cool summer here (I think we broke 90 like, twice in the last month) and I still FREEZE any time I'm inside for more than five minutes.
When I come home from work and the house smells like Hamburger Helper.
Truth! When I was little, I used to hide my clothes (like, the ones in my suitcase) and run outside when my grandpa was frying bacon because I hated smelling like it and my mom always scolded me and told me that was ridiculous and that bacon didn't smell. The other day, my mom and dad went to a doctor's appointment, and the doctor commented that they must have had bacon for breakfast and my mom was so embarrased.
Lol, what??? Bacon is like the smelliest meat in the world. Except for sausage. Maybe. Ew.
loud cell phone talkers....we don't care to hear your conversation.
I hate to go the counter of a convenience store, gas station, grocery store, and the worker says nothng and puts their hand out for your money. I always say in my perkiest fake voice, "and how are YOU today??" it gets them all confused, like....why is she being so nice to me????
