Annoyances in your life

That wasn't offensive at all.

EDIT: Not sarcastic.

 

1. When someone posts a FB update "So pissed right now" and when you ask why they say "Oh nothing" or "I can't talk about it" or "It doesn't matter" when CLEARLY they wanted attention and for people to ask what the problem was.

2. When people turn off the news because something comes on they don't like. My mom does this. "Next in the news, a man was arrested for holding a 3 year old girl captive in his garage. He is charged with production of child pornography, sexual exploitation of a minor, and kidnapping. The girl was found by a neighbor who saw her escape out an open window." My mom will change the channel and utter something like "Ugh I just CAN'T watch that. That makes me sick. Oh, I just hate that. BLAH BLAH BLAH." I just say "Shit like this happens every fucking DAY! These people EXIST! They are real. Plus, it's already done so changing the channel doesn't make it disappear. It happened. You gotta deal with it." Then she gets all upset "Well I'm a mother and I just feel differently about it then you." I bet there's someone tied up somewhere right now. I can't do a thing about it, so why worry? I certainly won't change the news channel! It's just irritating.

3. When people cough or sneeze into open air.

4. When I'm out fixing my car and people come up to bug me. So far, I have had a guy try to sell me multipurpose cleaner, girls try to sell me magazines, multiple people trying to sell me a fucking RELIGION, and several people who want to use my phone. Guess what...I ain't got a phone! I'm sorry that you gotta call your pimp or drug dealer, but my cell is all I have and you aren't using it.

5. When people complain about swearing. I get an evil grin when I hear a person complain about someone's language. I'm sorry, but I don't trust people who don't swear.

6. When you try to take a right turn and someone walks across the crosswalk like they'll die once they reach the other side. Get some pep in your step and get the hell off the road!!! I do a mild JOG when I'm in a crosswalk. It's common courtesy.

That's all I can think of at the moment.

 

1 My Mother

2 My Sister

 

1. People who cant control their children.
2. People who live in apartment blocks who cant control their children.
3. People who play their music too loud.. AT NIGHT!!!!!... ON A SUNDAY!!!!!!!
4. People who drive too slowly in the slow lane on a highway. There are minimum legal speed limits, people.

Cant think of much else.

 

1. People that say, "I was into that BEFORE it was popular." Fucking bully for you.

2. People that say, "I have no money!" but are supporting a 3-pack a day smoking habit.

3. People that smoke in cars with kids in the back seat.

4. The fact that women are still called sluts when they sleep around but guys are fucking heroes.

5. Tony Abbott and the whole government of Australia.

 

whispering, I CAN'T take it!! Ohk you can whisper a sentence or two in the silent area, but don't hold whole conversations in a whispering tone. I'd rather you talk loudly! No, I'd prefer you leave the silent area. I don't know why but I can't black someone out when they are whispering, yet am fine with them talking.

 

People who are rude.
People who are immature.
People who are ignorant.
People who try too hard to be funny.
People who say: "you don't talk much, do you?", just because I don't talk to you doesn't mean I don't talk at all.
P.E.
Maths.
My 2 tonne school bag.
The wind.
The sniffles.
The sound of heavy breathing.
Boybands.
Turning on the radio and hearing a song from about 6 years ago.

 

People who are stubborn and don't even try to see things any other way. I'm not even going to bother talking to you if you don't even listen to me.

 

This is random but Baby on Board signs really annoy me!
And people on facebook who post about every single thing their child does(They're usually the same people who have baby on boards signs.)

 

Wow, Data! (Absolutely none of the following is sarcastic-I think there should be a 'this is not sarcastic' emoticon) We are clearly completely different characters with completely different views on the world but I just agreed and emphasised with every point you made! I love it when moments like that happen.

Also people who are walking really slowly in front of you, glance at you hurrying along behind, clearly in a desperate rush to get somewhere (like to work on time) but don't bother to step aside and let you pass, just keep walking really slowly - thus forcing you to step into the road to pass.

 

When my sleep is interrupted, or i cant sleep as long as i want to...

Happens literally every day!! I get grumpy...

 

This bothers me, too! For me it's about safety. When I'm walking or in a car and I see someone riding a bike and he or she doesn't have his hands on the handles, I get really paranoid and cautious. What happens when the bicyclist hits a bump? Their reaction time is slower, and it could cause a wreck.

They annoy me, too. "You know, I wasn't trying to drive safely before, but now that I know you have a baby on board I'll do my best not to hit you."

 

:icon_redf Guilty.

Agreed.

It should bother you because they are needlessly endangering other people. Just last week I had to swerve out of the way with my car to avoid a biker who lost control of his bike, because he wasn't holding the handles.

Another anecdote, I seem to run into the worst people in traffic:
A mother with a child on her lap behind the wheel, on a roundabout, whilst also texting. :tantrum:

Nope.

Can't say I agree with that one.

This one I do understand.

This so much!
I don't smile naturally. If I have no particular reason to smile, my face is kind of neutral. My mother keeps interpeting this as me being upset or depressed and keeps saying I should smile more.
I simply can't, it would case facial cramps or muscle ache to do so.

Now for some of mine:
1. People trying to be interesting by mentioning some 'scientific' fact or general oddity and then can't handle it when you point they wrong about it in some way.
Double points when they're talking about homeopathie or some similar nonsense like that.
2. Hypocrites and people who can only see faults in others and never acknowledge their own part in an argument/conflict.
3. Related: people who only attack the position of the other in a discussion and never defend their own claims.

Probably more later.

The exact opposite: people needing to see the news at a specific moment and expecting you to switch the channel when you're right in the middle of an episode or movie.
My father's a serial offender. Even now, when we have digital television with a 24-hour newschannel, he still has to watch the 20:00 news, no matter what.

Intentionally, yes. But sometimes the urge is so sudden you don't have time to cover up.

I don't know about the situation in your area, but over here you can register for a no-call register, meaning companies aren't allowed to call you, unless you give them your number. Likewise you can get stickers from the local government that state that you want no adverts in your mail or religious preachers at your door. Maybe you can get something similar?

Especially when the complaint is an attempt to hide the fact that you've said something which discomforts them. For example you've shown that they're acting hypocritically or made a mistake.

Ehm, no it isn't. Pedestrians walk, they're under no obligation to run or jog.

People who can't keep to the maximum speed limit and need to drive like 20+ km/h faster. Especially when they're constantly switching lanes to get just one car ahead.
These are mostly the same people who will try to overtake trucks where there's no room or overtake in situations where they can't see what's ahead.

 

I'm completely with Linthras on this one. If their light is green, then they have a right to walk across the street. Not everyone moves at a fast pace. Some may be disabled and cannot move fast (either due to injuries or heart problems, which is a disability, though not a visible one). But even if they aren't disabled in some way, they have a right to get where they need to at their own pace.

That said, I also jog across crosswalks, but not out of "common courtesy". I do it because I'm terrified of being hit by cars.

 

In some cities over here, you'd have to for that exact reason.

 

Here, too. There's a reason I jog across the street. I'm a fast walker, but I've been nearly hit or threatened too many times for me to feel comfortable just walking across the street at an intersection now.

+ 1. That and how women are labeled as cold or prudish if they DON'T sleep around.

 

+ 1. That viriginity in men is still seen as weird, wrong, etc.

 

Random people in corridors who pretend to know me just to annoy me.
