There's an easier way to do that. Just leave the first and last letter where they're supposed to be and mix the rest. People won't even realize the words been jumbled. The brain works in mysterious ways.

Anyway staying on topic.... Food fights and slammed doors and loud people annoy the hell out of me.

hantks!

In the grocery store...people who stop and park their carts in the middle of the freakin' aisle and stand there looking at all the labels or have a conversation. You come up behind them and clear your throat and they ignore you. Then you say EXCUSE ME and they still ignore you so you feel like ramming your cart into their ass like a bumper car.

People who come to my house and open my dvd's and then leave them out of the freakin' case to get scratched and damaged. OR put them back in the wrong case. When I'm all anxious to watch Desperado and I open the case and find The FUCKING Lion King I am PISSED for days. Because Desperado ISN'T in the Lion King case either.

i hate that too!

losers who come in to fill out an application for employment and ask if they can borrow a pen....

no wonder you don't have a damn job!!!

Think ahead... come prepared ...

In this scenario first impressions are everything....

People who think it's okay to hit up against your car door with theirs... or a shopping cart.

I just had a major OH HELL NO moment...

I had to leave my car at the dealership on Friday to repair the airbag.

My Dad picked it up today, and it had a BIG FREAKIN' DENT in the driver side door!

My Dad said he saw it, but thought I knew about it.

I immediately called them and expressed my frustration, and they said to bring it back tomorrow.

I am soooo angry right now! NO RESPECT for others' property!

People that send out 5 texts while you're still trying to answer the first one. Slow your fucking roll! If you have that much to say then just call me, dumb ass!

And I really get annoyed with people that don't understand that my cell phone is not the most important thing to me. I really don't care that much about it. Sometimes I won't see your text for a few hours or not even until the next day so if you don't get a response, don't read too much into it. And if I'm hanging around you, I won't get out my phone unless it rings.

People that buy a new pet when they barely have a pot to piss in. Your house is going into foreclosure so go buy a 100 lb dog! Because that makes a lot of sense.

People that don't think ahead when driving. If you know where you're going requires you to be in the right lane, why are you waiting to get over until the LAST minute.

People who assume that if you don't believe what they believe then you have your head in the sand.

Virtually everything associated with driving

Oh lawd I hate that too. My son's fiance does that plus she's texting and eating. I cannot ride with her and my son won't let her drive if he's there.

-- People that take stupid risks just to get ahead of me by one car length in the middle of highway traffic....what the fuck. Bitch, if you cant fly, you are not going anywhere.

Hell yes...what's even ruder is if you are on a date and your date answers the call and proceeds to have a 10 minute conversation or more at the table. WTF?

I hate this shit too because everybody doesn't need to know, nor cares about your phone conversation. I hate when folks love to look like asses in order to seek attention.

This drives me nuts as well. Precisely why I go to Walmart in the wee hours of the morning.

Disgruntled workers irritate the fuck out of me. If you hate your damn job so much then find something else and stop giving customers a hard time. Either that or take a fucking course in customer service.

This kills me. I've seen folks speed up to cut in front of me as if I'm driving like Miss Daisy when I'm over the speed limit myself only for them to just turn at the next corner when you were in the same lane the whole time...just behind me.

Agree with all of the above My new years resolution was to stop making rude gestures at the rude drivers before I ran into a crazy person.....

Yes for real!!!! I hate when people do that then its like if you don't answer specifically what they said in each text and do a summary instead then they re-ask you as if you are purposely not answering them. Again, get a life.

I knew someone who was so hooked on their cell that they have chimes for Facebook, Twitter, got texts coming in, emails, games, etc. and they all come in every minute on the hour. So annoying.

The last time a person did that to me, I refused to ride with him ever again. And he doesn't wear a seat belt either!

I wouldn't even call some of these things petty. Actually, some things I find extremely annoying.

People who don't have basic manners:

- close your mouth and don't talk while you're eating

- open doors for other people, especially women, or at least let them walk in after you

- look into someone's eyes when you greet them, give them a "real" hand-shake, not those half-ass, lame, numb ones, that make you feel like you're holding a dead fish!

- be clean when you're in public (actually, have enough self-respect to always be clean; but what people do at home is not my business...)

- wait until people get off the train/bus/etc until you try to get your fat ass in there

- help people with children/disabilities/etc

- don't expect other people to tolerate everything your child/dog/etc does; make them behave in public, or otherwise don't take them out

- put your hand over your mouth when you're coughing, sneezing, yawning, ...

- be able to adapt your language to someone who might not understand you, but don't call people who can use literary language arrogant

- if you just got to know me and I am not showing that you really seem to be a nice and cool person explicitly, don't get too close physically, don't ask questions about my private life, etc. basically, don't be rude

- think when you're driving a car

- actually, use your brain all the time, instead of doing stupid things

- don't expect me to always have my phone turned on or pick up the phone; I have every right to be left alone if I want to be, without having to come across as insulting to you

That's a couple of things from top of my head.

I am pretty sure I did that when we first met .

This happened to me recently. If I didn't respond to the person's text message (which was not a question just a vague statement that they could have kept to themselves), then an hour later, they would call. I wouldn't pick up. Then another hour later they would call again. When that was ignored then I get another text a half an hour later saying did I get the original message . This has been going on since Saturday and I had to put an end to it yesterday because it was INSANE. I told them to refrain from contacting me any further, ever. Their response: "Ok". Some folks have entirely too much time on their hands.

This should not had been that hard. If a person doesn't answer a text message or a phone call then obviously they are either busy, don't feel like answering or don't want to be bothered. If you are calling, then leave a voicemail message with why you need them to call you back. After that, it's up to that person to contact you back....but it's not required. The constant repeating of the texting and calling, especially if you have nothing of value to say is irritating as fuck and tells me that there is something seriously wrong with you.

Did you, really? I certainly can't remember any awkward or uncomfortable moments on my behalf.

Sounds horrible and I agree with you.

It's similar with my father, and it has gotten much worse since I have moved out. He needs to call me every day just to talk (which is already something I could have also included on my last - talking without any purpose. It's fine on some occasions [to me, about once a month with only those people whose voice you really want to hear], but not on a daily basis) and I hate that. It often happens that I just won't pick up (then he will call three more times) or that my phone is turned off (I need at least one day a week when my phone is off and I don't want to be bothered by anyone). Whenever that happens, he really does find it extremely offensive

All petty things annoy me.

If it qualifies as "petty", then I really don't see it adding any value to my life in any way whatsoever, even on the most minutest level.

Therefor, it's a waste of my time,

i.e. annoying.

when 'people' over enphesize their sexual preferences

you know, kinda like every one wants to hear about it,

and if they don't, everybody gotta hear about it...

mho

Happened just now...when new employees asked you a question two weeks ago, you give the answer but they misunderstand it, then when the supervisor comes to re-interate things, the new employee realizes that they were wrong in whatever it was they did and bring up the fact that they asked you and you told them to do it. Then when you clarify what was actually asked and what your response was, they give you that look like you trying to be fake. Urgh.

- look into someone's eyes when you greet them, give them a "real" hand-shake, not those half-ass, lame, numb ones, that make you feel like you're holding a dead fish!

Yes! When I meet someone and shake hands, I give a firm handshake. My palm is dry and nonclammy. If a person does not reciprocate with firmness but gives me one of those limp, sickly handshakes, I chalk them up as wimps. Maybe that's unfair, but if you offer your hand or one is offered you, at least give a little squeeze to let the person know you are pleased to make his/her acquaintance. I especially enjoy shaking hands with men who have large, warm hands. I find it kind of erotic.

Oh hell yes!!! That's usually when I give that "Waiting to Exhale" look.

This is why I train folks when I share my contact information. I straight up tell them that it takes a while for me to return calls. If they start acting all psycho and shit, from day 1, I deliberately will not return their calls If they get me I ask them why they are being rude and filling up my email/voicemail. usually I only have to do tha once for them to geta damn clue. One person, I half joking told her--bitch, I am not a call for you. Even my employer, who pays me, has to wait until I'm ready to return a call....

In the "phone calls and texts" school of petty things that annoy me...

It annoys the hell out of me when someone calls me and expects me to carry the conversation. My step mom will call me and have absolutely nothing to say. YOU called ME. What do you want? If you just wanted to say "Hi", say "Hi" and end the call or whatever, but say SOMETHING!
