People who talk just to be heard. They babble on, constantly needing the attention. Completely unaware that I don't give a damn and I'd like some meaningful conversation.
Weird things that really annoy you.

yeah, for me that falls under the general category of annoyance at completely unnecessary laziness.SpAc3man said:
IF YOU ARE EATING STUFF ON A PLATE AWAY FROM THE KITCHEN, PUT THE DAMN THING BACK IN THE KITCHEN WHEN YOU ARE DONE
SAME GOES FOR BOWLS
DONT JUST LEAVE THE BOX OF COKES IN THE FRIDGE IF YOU TOOK THE LAST ONE
and finally
FINISH YOUR GODDAMN COLA BEFORE YOU TAKE ANOTHER ONE!!!!!
see, i don't understand why the noise thing annoys you. silence is a bit eerie. i understand not wanting people to just idly chat about fuck all, even when its clear they are the only one talking, just to fill the silence, but what's so wrong about the radio or the tv on in the background?Brixton6 said:
the radio is pretty much never off in my house. there is some kind of classic rock or jazz or motown playing all day, and it makes the house feel a bit more homey, and adds some nice background music to otherwise mundane tasks.
Captcha: Lunch Time
yeah, lunch time, that's a good example of something which can be improved with a classic rock soundtrack.
Retraction: Perhaps I didn't quite word that adequately to represent what really annoys me. Let me give you a more specific example: My sister's fiancee and I were once sitting in the living room, both on our laptops playing video games. We were both wearing headphones so as not to disturb the other. He still felt the need to turn on the TV, despite the fact that he wasn't going to watch it and he was listening to the game he was playing. That annoys me. I can see how if we were just sitting there staring at each other, a little background noise might be nice. But if we're already doing something, I don't see the point to adding more noise than is absolutely necessary.Quazimofo said:
To be fair, when I was in high school, my dad thought it was strange when he would come home and I was playing a game on my laptop in the living room without the TV on, so maybe I'm just a special case when it comes to this.
People who know me insist that I have a lot of hates. I say that's wrong. I hate two things. The world, and most of the people in it!
Okay, seriously now, people who don't put milk back in the fridge. Gah, it burns trying to tell if it's safe to drink or not.

True it isn't - but the weirdness come from the fact about how angry it makes me. I dont get angry very easily, I'm a pretty mellow guy, so its weird that such a innocuous sound sets me off.Quazimofo said:
Well. . .
Okay, I really can't do things that other people can do. I mean. I can drive a car, blah blah blah. No. It's other stuff, and it annoys me.
1. For whatever reason, I can not give blood without the nurses being unable to find my VERY LARGE VEINS. Seriously, the ladies are vicious with that needle.
2. I can not hold a conversation with my boss with insulting her. I'm very surprised I still have a job.
3. I can not go to Taco Bell without being stopped by the police. I never get a ticket or get in any sort of trouble, but I make frequent trips and I'm starting to worry that the police don't like me for some reason.
4. I do not do any sort of drugs, nor do I drink, but I always wake up on the opposite end of the bed that I fell asleep on. I do not remember getting there.
5. I just can't get into Fallout 3.
There's more.

People who drop off other people at a bus stop in a car.
You're all ready in the car, just drive them to their destination. It looks like your both headed downtown anyway.

The sound a soft drink can makes when you open it.
I have no idea why, but I find that one sound the most irritating thing.
Also, the fizzing that soft drinks make when you pour them.
Again, no idea why I hate it.

Small-talk.
The way some people can ramble on about absolutely nothing for hours. I think it's a developed skill that helps them cope with awkward silences when there's really nothing interesting in their lives to do or discuss.
It's stupid, inauthentic, repetitive, annoying, and ultimately pointless.
I think what annoys me the most is how it's expected for me to engage in it all the time, even when I feel there's nothing truly worth discussing. As an introvert the whole thing feels incredibly unnatural and strange to me. I'd rather an awkward silence where I can be alone to my own thoughts than a forced conversation where I have to listen to someone drone on for hours about their stupid family, stupid kids, or stupid friends whom I don't know or care the least bit about. It's just an excuse to fill the air and I'm expected to play along as if any of this really matters to me and isn't an utter waste of time.
Why don't you leave me alone and let me go do something I care about, enjoy, or at least be somewhat productive.
Can't you lovebirds show even a hint of restraint when your in public. Nobody's impressed, nobody enjoys seeing you do it.
Hell, I'd rather see two people just fucking instead, at least that would be a bold enough act that I might actually respect it a bit. But seeing people just make out is annoying and somewhat disrespectful to everyone else around them.

Or anywhere in a crowded public area. Every time I see this I want to take their heads and bash them together.Lt._nefarious said:

I can't stand that word.Lt._nefarious said:
Also: People who, when you tell a joke, try to defuse the joke because of...
Look, it's easier if I just show you:
Me: I'd like to just eat bacon all the time.
Person: Every waking moment?
Me: No, when I'm asleep as well.
Person: Hahaha, well, that's not really possible.
Or like this:
Boss: Do the job the way you feel is best.
Me: I'm supposed to sit around reading comic books and let somebody else do the job for me?
Boss: Haha, well, now that's not what I meant.
You know? When they act as if they should point out that the thing you said a sa joke doesn't make sense if taken seriously.
Indeed it just makes sense to me. In the cold, you can keep adding clothing layers and finding more sources of heat. When it's hot, you can only take off so many layers until you get arrested. Unless you're indoors. Then you will end up naked before realising that even that isn't enough, and you will have a bizarre urge to attempt to rip your skin off.DugMachine said:
I work at a gocery store, so I encounter minor annoyances every day.
Things I never though would bother me.
For instance, people who don't tie their produce when bringing it up to check out.
I rolls down the belt when I scan it through, and they get all huffy about it.
"Why didn't you tie it?! Radda radda dur hurr radda!11!"
Another would be people not bagging their groceries when there isn't a bagger in site.
Seriously, how spoiled are you?

Gangasta's.
I'm sorry, maybe it's not fair, maybe I'm just old, maybe it's the fact that the only rap music I can stand are the Epic Rap Battles of History.
Maybe it's the fact that i believe that your underwear shoudl remain hidden beneath your jeans.
But I get irritated when I see gangsta's. Trust me honey, there is nothing cool about talking like an inbred uneducated redneck.

I hate people who drone on about little tid-bits of needless information.
Yes your asshole boy friend dumped you that is sad and I will talk to you about what a jerk he is and how fat he's going to get, but do I really need to know what shirt he was wearing? What you were doing at the exact moment he broke up with you?
Relevance, thats all I want!

Also a scan man so I know that feeling.USSR said:
I can't stand people who belittle others because of their jobs or lifestyle, I mean, who are you to judge someone you know nothing about?
For example, at the store I work at a little girl asked: "what is he doing?" to which the mum replied: "bagging our food" Little girl: "why?" Mum: Because he never went to college".
Ouch
