There s a guy in the office who keeps referring to Vietnamese customers as Chinese even though I ve been telling him every week for the past 6 months that they are Vietnamese not Chinese.

Why do people lie for no reason? Ya bust'em in a lie and they smile and act like it was "only a white lie." When did lies have a color? If ya don't know something, why make it up? If ya don't agree with something, try using a lil tact and disagree without spicing it up with a bare faced lie. Irkes me cause I intentionally try not to be a liar.

I hate when there's a group of people all talking at once. How can anyone HEAR anyone else? As a teacher, it is one of the most annoying things in the classroom when kids don't raise their hands to speak... Where does this come from, Lynn? I'm watching "The View" (DVR) and it's not just the usual babble, but the 4 ladies from "Sex & the City" are also on. 8 women all talking and screeching at the same time!

Yeah, I hate that too. Sometimes on my museum tours, when I'm trying to follow up with something that a visitor said, there are 2-3 other people having their own little sidebar. I find it really rude. But I never feel like I can say anything because I am representing the museum and its priority is to make sure the visitors have a good experience.

Smoking really irritates me. I think it should be illegal.

Not because it irritates me, but because it kills you.

and every time he drinks tea he makes a loud slurping noise with every gulp. And throws his food down his gullett without chewing. Boy, I need to take inventory on it.

I can't stand it when people chew with their mouths open.

- talking down to or mistreating children

- make a big deal over nothing

- nagging or whining

- complaining about how their lives suck and they don't wanna do anything about it but b*tch and moan.

- call you something you're not

- judging based on speculation and popularity instead of on facts and truth

- pressure you to become something you're not to meet their own idea of "normalcy"

- hyprocrisy (although it's not necessarily evil, it's just annoying)

- people who talk to you as if you're an idiot when really it's them who are slow

- people who think they own you

- when people try to take control of your life until you feel powerless

- when they tell you what to do as if they're your parents (or worse, if they ARE your parents)

- bureaucracy

- when they openly lie to you and maintain it's the God's honest truth

etc..

All these and many others are comprised on a carefully crated "dislike" list of mine

People who suddenly don't know you, but want to ask others about your business and act like everything's cool when people are around. In summary, fake people.

Communications etiquette When someone calls you to their desk to talk to you about something/ask your opinion and they talk to you for a good two minutes about whatever it is they want to say. You listen to what they have to say and you're fully attentive for the duration of their speech. But when you begin to speak, they partially turn to their computer and half listen to you while they read e-mail etc. This is usually accompanied with some, "Uh-huh uh-huhs". Then when you finish talking they are full blown back into the conversation because it's their turn to talk again. I love people.

This is the first thing that came to mind, I have a co-worker who does this alot.

She's always bitchin' to me and some of my other co-workers about something going on at home, she's one of those people who brings her problems to work daily. She's one of those woman who ALWAYS picks the wrong guy i.e. the bad boy, the guy with three baby mommas, the guy who vanishes for a couple of days with no communcation, and my favorite, the guy who has no job and needs to stay at her house for a few days, lol!!!
