The tiny things in life that annoy you
 

I am talking the really tiny things that are really annoying in everyday life.

For me already today it is that little bit of watery liquid that comes out of the mustard bottle if you haven't shaken it enough.

So, what are the really tiny things that get you going?

Hair on soap, any kind too.
Hair on my loofah sponge, any kind too.
Ketchup liquid like you describe with mustard (I do not get mustard liquid).
Crust on hot sauce bottles or other food bottles around the opening.
When labels fall off of canned goods that are regular shape and size.
Peoples cats shitting in my garden containers.
When making iced tea and you over steep it or whatever and it gets that walnut taste.
My DVR recording repeats of new shows even though I already recorded and watched them previously due to them showing more than once in a day or week.
Having to forcefully reboot my pc and then all the threads and shit I have read become marked as unread again.
Bottles of anything that have barely anything left but are so thick its next to impossible to get the remainder out.

Have you been saving that up?

You should bookmark this thread so you can get it off your chest.

calling a phone number and getting a fax machine....

the hate.

Getting a call from a fax machine :Oh crap

Hell thats just what I can quickly think of.
I have so many damn stupid little quirks that piss me off daily that I probably could fill a maximum character allotment in a single gfy post.

not to gross it up right out of the gate, but for me it's the last drop of pee that no matter what just doesn't drop until you put your wee-wee away.

I also hate the fact that everyone in this house uses the toothpaste all willy nilly until the last bit in the tube then everyone conserves... WHY NOT FUCKING CONSERVE WHEN IT'S FULL????!?!?!?! It's like they say, "fuck it, it's a brand new tube, I'm going to use a boat load, but then when it runs out, they got the fucking tube all rolled up squeezing every last drop out of that fucker.


Oh and I really hate this... when I drive.. and I do like 97% of the driving by the way, when I stop the car, I'm out the moment the engine shuts off. Why does it take everyone else in the car 10 minutes of gathering shit up to get out???? You're just sitting there. When the car pulls into the driveway.. get ready to get out. It's like the car shuts off and then everyone pauses and says... "oh, we're here already?"


Oh and this really grinds my gears too, on our los angeles freeways, they love to merge two lanes into 1 at any given moment. During rush hour EVERYONE knows the cars merge like a zipper. One car from the left lane, and one car from the right. It's a system that we Angelinos ALL KNOW ABOUT. So why the fuck does some out of town prick think he can make it 2 cars from one lane. IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY.



Ok, and this is the one that drives me absolutely fucking nuts. This is a super little thing, but it pisses me off to no fucking end. I mean like... I'm 3 days away from murder. Here in LA, we have these red lights on the freeway on ramps. The on ramps usually consist of 2 lanes, that merge into 1 lane just before merging onto the freeway. The light is red, then flashes green, and then back to red. There is usually two lights per pole, and one pole on each side of the two lanes. THUS 4 FUCKING LIGHTS!!!! The sign CLEARLY says ...and I QUOTE, "One car PER green"

4 FUCKING GREENS MEANS 4 FUCKING CARS!!!!!!!!



Sarah.. are you trying to boil my blood?

Haha I know.

Oh I feel ya on the toothpaste as well. Yet it also extends to toilet paper as well. New roll and everyone takes like twenty wraps around their hand and then uses it, roll gets close to where you could have to replace it and then suddenly they are ok with using 4 sheets and leaving the roll alone for someone else to have to change it.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Fuck Yeah!!!!!

lol ..flaming heck...I was just annoyed by my sandwich getting soggy because of the mustard liquid

Talk about opening Pandora's Box - This could be a long thread.... :1orglaugh

Well technically and historically you should add a thin layer of butter to the bread to prevent soggy bread. This allows you to toss on wet ingrediants or other liquids like mustard without fear of them soaking the bread.

That and you should always pack the lettuce seperatly if you plan on serving the sandwich latter, like if your packing a lunch.

OK sorry I am a food nerd.

Oh and something else speaking of food.

When someone brews a pot of coffee and then leaves the basket of grounds sitting in the damn machine.

people who talk loud on their cellphones when others are around
ghetto people
stupid drivers
idiots who work in customer service

yeah butter type products are a no no in my life these days..had it come out at the thickness mustard should be there wouldn't have been sog issues.

I do agree with the separate lettuce packing though...have done that since childhood

define "ghetto people"

Ah, but the last thing to come out of Pandora's Box was hope.

What about low fat non-hydrogenated margarine, like Becel? Stuff tastes good and does the job of protecting your bread from mustard leak. :D



One out of probably several hundred little annoyances for me are people who don't use their blinker to signal a lane change... and there are so many of them in my city. They just think they can swoop on over and go wherever they want at any time and not have to signal. They all need to be rounded up, fined, and forced to retake the driving test for their idiocy and laziness.


Oh, another happened just the other day --- Idiots who stand in the checkout line at the grocery store yapping on their cell phones. Just load your shit up and get moving, save your blabbering until you're outside and there aren't 10 people waiting behind you.

I seriously wanted to bodyslam the guy that did it the other day.

when you are waiting to cross the road because you think a car is going to come this way, but they end up turning and you are really pissed off because you waited for nothing and they didn't indicate.

lmfao

NIGGE...!

Oh wait...

soulja boy...

When shutting down the PC at night, Windows decides to spin up all 5 external harddrives one by one after they've happily been powered down the past 12 hours.

Oh and every single fridge I have owned is designed so coke bottles get caught on the shelf and pulled out from the bottle rack whenever the door opens.

I only eat 30 grams of fat or lower a day and so "buttering" bread isn't worth it for me even with the low fat stuff. I do keep a tub of extra low fat stuff around just for the few times where I feel like I need it ..like on kale or something like that.

Boring, I know.

I just checked... Becel has zero trans fat, and is way low in saturated fat (the "good fat") The question is, can you get it there?

Hey, I get the whole diet thing but hell, ya gotta have some taste in there. Is life really worth living if you knock off everything good? :D

too may to mention :)

as a man, i stand with you on these.

I have loads of flavour but it comes from spices and herbs mostly..oh and mustard ;)

Traffic, our neighbor's cat who always ruined our garbage can and my pc.

People who sit and send text messages all night when out at a bar with friends...

People who litter.

Dirty bathrooms: the (toilet) seat & cover being left up & people (guys) that don't wipe after they've pissed everywhere but in the bowl!

Loud people on cell phones in public places.

(Annoying) poptop40 ringtones.

People that let their phone ring, on and on and ... so everybody around knows they've got a friend, and (potentially) a life.

[edit] agreed! People that litter [/edit]

People that don't know who Clark is

The neighbor's cat ruined your pc?

People calling my home to try and sell me windows! Even though the windows i have are perfectly fine.

Old people who think they have right of way when crossing, start to walk across even when the lights are green.


People who act hard on the internet, on forums and messengers etc..
Generally taking shit and being abusive for no reason at all.

loads more, to many to list.

People who have their laptop speakers on loud in public places! Especially at the airport!

People who call me "dawg". Doubly so for women who call me "dawg". And for that matter, spelling it "dawg" is annoying. Hell, i am annoying myself right now.

Excessive punctuation though I like ellipses ... know what i mean?

I am guilty of using too many ellipses at times when I am typing on the boards. There are times when I even annoy myself with it.

When groups of people walk 4 abreast on a sidewalk thus blocking me or anyone else. When someone walks on the very, very edge, and they STILL don't back down is the absolute worse. I began playing red rover with these idiots.

I'm currently in the Philippines so there is WAY too many to mention. Some friends and I are actually writing for a blog that will be up soon regarding such things.

A few more off the top of my head:

- Slow walking people
- Slow walking people who cant walk in a straight line because their heads are staring straight down at their cellphone while they write texts.
- People who answer text messages while in the middle of a conversation while you're in mid sentence, and the WORST offense of all in this case, when you're answering a question they asked of you...I want to ROLL heads when people do this!

losing things the very moment you need them - car keys f.ex

wires - i hate wires, if you leave them alone too long they snake together into a big fucking mess. then you have to be in some crazy position under a desk to work out what the fuck is going on.

haha... classic

That's why I always squeeze a little down the drain first


my pet peeve at home is when people do not shut cabinet and pantry doors and leave them wide open. I'll come home and every door in the kitchen will be open

My ultimate is when I go out of my way to slow down or move so someone can move into my lane and I don't get a courtesy wave. Holy shit, I just want to roll up next to them and just start ramming the car off the road.

Also, people who wear a bluetooth ear pieces when they aren't on a phone call. Just take it off if you aren't on a call, it makes people look like total douchebags. Fuck, that one really gets me and I have no idea why.

#1 pet peeve for me:

When you accidently bump into someone or cut in front of them by mistake, apologize for it with a nice smile(not a bitchy smirk) and they walk away shaking their head back and forth like an old person. Makes me crazy!!! I want to rip their head clean off their body.

AAAHhhh
 

Ok I can say this. When people decide to merge and DON'T use blinkers to signal. And make last minute decisions to cut you off and the slow way down to like 55 in the fast lane of traffic with no one in front of them!

Just people in general with a shitty attitudes..:2 cents:

People who merge onto the highway by slowing down!!! what are they thinking? "I'm going to merge into 70 mph traffic, I better slow down to 45 to get it right!"

People who argue just to "win" the argument. You'll know this has happened when you disagree over the schedule and find yourself hollering about the office christmas party 13 years ago.

People who are constantly negative. You could say to them "thats a great dress" and instead of a "thank you", you get a littany of problems. Everything from picking it out, to the horrible sales person, to the smell in the dressing room. Here's an idea: just take the damn compliment. Here's a fun game with these people. Say nothing to them unless they say something nice. See how long it takes. You'll be amazed but not surprised.

Along the same lines, when you say "hi" or "hows it going" to someone, and they take it as a signal to open the floodgates and tell you everything thats happening in their life. It was just a greeting.. honest. I'm not Dr. Phil.

How peoples brains cease to function properly as soon as they sit in the drivers seat of a car. Maybe a lion or hippo thinks you're some large animal with round rubber feet.. but people know it's really just you. So behave yourself.
