- People who use the wrong indicator, and drive slowly in front of me.

- Touchy-feely people. Mostly men who don't have the courtesy to even ask if you are comfortable with them putting their arm around you before doing so.

- People assuming they know more about you than you know of yourself. I have people actually regularly dispute me on my own nationality, interests, introversion, virginity, etc.

- Cat calls and persistent men. Some just do not like to take 'no' for an answer.

- People who chatter incessantly about useless crap and minute details of their lives without any invitation. You know, small talk. I am having this problem right now and I would love to seal this person into a barrel and ship him far away.

- Classifying mixed-race individuals into one category. I am a mixed-race person and people love to put you into categories and expect you to behave accordingly. If you are classified as a part of one ethnic group, someone else will classify you as another. I am all, but at the same time, neither. That is the truth of it, and I accept it. You don't dictate who I am. /rant

...And a lot of what many people have listed here.

The thing that infuriates me the most is people who drive while using cell phones. My brother sent me a device that jams cell phone signals and it works beautifully. I used it just the other day. The clod was yacking away when I turned it on. He looked at it and tried to redial it, then gave up and put it down. It's expensive and probably illegal but I don't see how I can get caught so I'll keep using it. It fits in my pocket so I can use it in restaurants or other public places. I just wish it could be programmed to send a signal strong enough to blow out the eardrums of the idiots.

It sounds like a nifty little gadget, but inherently dangerous.

For example, you driving along and see someone talking on their phone. Cool, you flick the switch, and follow closely for quite some time. No harm no foul, right? No, that may have been a surgeon, talking one of his lackeys through the start up procedure of an emergency trauma, while he is currently on his way to take over the case.

Groups of people (usually women in the highschool and collegic setting) that choose to cluster together and gossip at the most strategic choke point possible causing major foot-traffic jams. People who smoke cigarettes in crowded public places then throw their butt on the ground as opposed to disposing of it properly. That really loud obnoxious woman at your workplace that sits in the cube next to you. She just had her kid so you get to hear her yap on the phone all day in that god-aweful Bostonian accent about how they had to "apply mineral oil to her vag to help the baby slip out". Fuck off. The anonymous men who can't seem to piss inside the toilet and get it all over the seat. You must have fucking Downs if you can't aim a 1/8 inch stream into a target with a 1 foot diameter. At least clean it up if you miss. FFS. Women that complain about how much is hurts to wear high heels. Then don't fucking wear them. Problem solved. Douchebag men that intentionally act obnoxious, progressively increasing their volume, some how thinking this will attract women. The asshole on the bus that refuses to use head phones, and instead blasts is terrible rap music on his shit phone for all to hear. Thanks buddy, that's just how I wanted to spend my 30 minute commute. The douchebag that wears his hat at an extreme angle for some unknown reason. The solution: run buy him and steal his hat mid stride. The hat will come off easily as its not securely fastened to his head, given the ridiculous application. Ear gauges. They look ridiculous. I'm always tempted to slap a padlock on them. [hide=pic] To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. [/hide] Spelling and grammar Nazis. I value clear communication as much as the next guy, but pointing out someone's obviously careless typo doesn't validate your argument in any way.

I have pretty much the same small annoyances as you. It just makes me want to burn their house down and kick them off a cliff while they are still burning.

[TheStranger]

I consider unnecessary condescension towards other a grievous sin. It makes me wonder if they are compensating for a hidden, or not-so-hidden flaw.

[Bisclavret]

When someone silently farts within a packed elevator and asphyxiates everyone aboard it.

[TheStranger]

On that note: "Man who fart sit in own pew".

[Equinox]

I really hate people who sit next to you on the bus or whatever and talk about themselves for the whole 20 to 30 minute ride. They don't know you, they don't let you get anything in edgewise, they just sit down and talk nonstop. And it's about how they're better off than other people because they have TWO pensions from working in the government AND a disability, and other people are just lazy, and sure they smoke and drink but people who do drugs are going to go to hell, and "I bet you wanna know what my disability is! No, don't give me that 'it's your discretion to say or not say' stuff, I know you're curious! GUESS!" (I wasn't curious.)

The worst part of all this is that if you ever try to say anything, they act surprised that you're there, like "wow, I'm talking to someone? I thought I was the only one here" or maybe "he had the nerve to interrupt my 30 minutes of nonstop talking?" And when you do say something you have to say it 5 or 6 times, loudly, because they can't hear anyone but themselves.

[Daoist]

Couples so big that phyisical intimacy is simply not possible. Then you have to listen to their verbal intimacy instead.

1) This.
Also, extra disorganised people who start walking in one direction and then turn abruptly and bump into you. I add the slow walking people to the same annoying group.

2) People who make random, loud, unnecessary sounds (especially when they are supposed to be quiet).

3) People who eat very fast.

4) Pedestrians who think they are immortal.

5) People who wouldn't shut up for hours. Especially the kind that looks smarter when keeping their mouth tightly shut.

6) People with no personal opinion who'd simply support certain ideas to look cooler.

7) People who use unnecessary long, tag phrases to look cooler.

8) People trying to argue that they know me better than myself.

[Bisclavret]

People who are ladened with perspiration who spray themselves from head to toe with a whole can's worth of AXE (instead of taking a shower). Nothing shocks the senses as much as BO mixed with AXE bodyspray.

[Fubudis]

Cyclists who "share" the road by steering right down the middle of the lane, slowing traffic behind them. Then at cross streets they simply breeze on through the stop signs and red lights because they're apparently not obligated to follow traffic laws despite sharing the road ways. This further limits traffic flow by causing the cross traffic to screech to a hault.

People who complain about their weight but refuse to exercise, and order the McDonalds chicken salad with double dressing and a large diet coke.

[idem]

People who leave the sponge at the bottom of the sink so I have to fish it out of all the dirty water and food crud at the bottom. And then I'm supposed to use it to clean things?

[shortnsweet]

People who pack their cigarettes loudly right in front of the store clerk right after they buy them. I have no idea why this annoys me so much.

What are some seemingly small and strange "no big deal" things that really, really, really annoy you? Here is one of mine: Me being able to use the bathroom in privacy is a HUGE deal for me. It is not that I am embarrased that others are there, it is that for some reason, a bathroom break represents a highly cathartic, brief meditative break in my day when I am around people and I can just be by myself and focus for 20 seconds. My biggest pet peeve is leaving the chatter of the workplace, walk into a silent bathroom with no one else in there, only to have someone walk in 2 seconds after I unzip and take a piss right next to me. Just ruins the moment.

I can't stand coming into a quiet bathroom and in comes 2 or 3 other guys loud and what not. Thats why when I have to do #2, I dont care WHERE I'm at...I'm coming straight home.

*Chewing with your mouth open

* Obviously asking me a question so I can look stupid from my answer

*Playing loud rap music at public places. I like rap too but when I'm on the bus I dont wanna hear it and nor does anyone else!

*Family members keep askinmg me when I'm going to get a girlfriend and that I need to be more social

*People cleaning off their plate but instead of putting it in the sink they sat it on the counter.

*Kids

*PEOPLE WHO SPIT AROUND THE BUS STOP WHERE PEOPLE WALK AND SIT AT!

[riadfodig]

Making a vague request, complaining at a lack of a specific response. An example: I took a friend to the grocery store. She asked me to get sliced cheese, "something like Gouda". Gouda isn't strongly flavored, so I got provolone. She unloaded the groceries when she got home, said, "You didn't get any sliced cheese?" / "There's provolone." / "That's not like Gouda, Munster is like Gouda."

I wanted to tell her, "If you wanted MUNSTER, you should have said so!" Instead I just implied it very strongly with my "not my problem" face.

Another one of the big ones is people begging for attention.

You have to get the decoy girlfriend. A girl that's a friend that will cover for you in the mean time.

[AureliaSeverina]

When I’m on a public toilet and people try to open the door and don’t give up even though it’s locked. If it’s locked it means it’s engaged, what’s so hard to understand about that? I had three grannies banging on the door at a café today, right from the moment I went in all the way through. When I came out they said “Sorry about that.” Er? So they fussed with the door for 3 mins just to apologize afterwards?

[mike1173]

People that don't use their blinkers when turning. They know I am behind them but just assume "oh well he can slow down to 10mph in a 35mph zone without me having to give any indication" Annoys the heck outta me.

[Bisclavret]

- People who assume that if you speak a second language, or that if you're not Caucasian, you are automatically an immigrant. They fail to realize how many European immigrants my country has.

- People who honk their car horns incessantly. It's rush hour, the traffic won't magically disappear just because you're getting aggressive behind the wheel.

- People who think that they are entitled to favours, just because they know your name.

- People who think that they know you, when in reality they know nothing of you.

- People who make yearly "resolutions" knowing very well that they will never even attempt to fulfill them.

[mllebrie]

Customers. I hate them.

We're always supposed to ask for two pieces of information to verify identity, we usually ask for name and date of birth. Every once in a while I get a dense customer who asks, "mine or hers?" when picking up a script for the significant other. Honest to God, why the hell do I need to know Mr. Smith's birthdate when the medication is for Mrs. Smith?

We had a particularly great customer this morning, he responded "Maine" because he thought we asked for his daughter's state of birth.

[Dru]

mispronouncing or misusing words.

DIE

[Huruma]

The tendency to project an imagined personality on to someone based on physical appearance (ie. viewing/treating younger looking people as helpless, submissive, loving etc., there have actually been many interesting studies done on this).

People who cannot mind their own business (in terms of being rude, invasive, condescending, patronizing, )

Arrogance (stupidity/shallowness combined with arrogance is a terrible combination)

Cruelty/indifferent to the interests of others

Amoral (not even just single-minded or cruel but having no sense of morally good or bad behavior, completely non-'judgemental'/analytical in that regard, that's probably my 'J' speaking)

etc.

There's very little anyone can do or say (beyond something tangible like beating me to near death, setting my house on fire, ) that can ruin my day. It's hard not to view most human beings as small minded, predictable machines, they don't have the power to surprise or impress me anymore.

[Philanthropist]

When you say something negative about someone and the person you're talking to says "how would you feel if they said something like that about you?"

Obviously, if someone said something about me behind my back I wouldn't feel anything, because I wouldn't know about it! Facepalm! Few things make me want to hit someone, but this qualifies as one of them.

Oh, and anti abortionists (pro-lifers, as they so incorrectly call themselves). But this is probably more of a big deal.

---------- Post added 10-11-2011 at 04:59 AM ----------

Also, gay men who think being feminine is the same as being a royal pain in the neck. No dear, you're whiny, precious and up yourself for no reason. Not effeminate.

And of course there are the women who think they're clever and alternative just because they walk about looking like they've just rolled out of bed, don't dye their hair, own large dogs and religiously attend the Vagina Monologues every time it's showing in town. Who doesn't love those?

You must walk around in a perpetual state of annoyance, if this bothers you.

[Ruri]

People tell me to be completely honest about how I feel with their outfit, I'm completely honest about their outfit, then they storm up, and scream at you for an hour. Well...they told me to be honest.

[Comen]

-People who defend non-religious ideas with blind faith, refusing and denying rational arguments like if they were defending some sort of religion, (for example pro-animal rights, pro-abortionists, tradition-defenders, neocons...) Is it so hard to live at let everyone else live?

-People who think that they moral rules are universal and eveybody should live acording them.

-People that eat so fast that seems that somebody is going to steal their food.
