Weird things that really annoy you.

[dtgenshiken7]

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.

 

[prophecy2514]

people who slurp their drink, even just a little. especially coffee or tea drinkers who slurp the froth off the top because its obviously too hot to normally drink.
Nothing makes me rage harder, its my "nails on a chalkboard" noise.

ditto, though thats not a particularly weird one.

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.

 

[McMullen]

One of the thing's that alway's get's to me i's the improper use of apostrophe's. Urge to strangle!

It's one of the most exception-free rules in English! It should be the easiest thing to get right.

 

[newfoundsky]

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.

 

[Dawns Gate]

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.

 

[Ratimir]

Misuse of the phrase 'begging the question'.

Being told I look like Jesus

 

[Death Carr]

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.

 

[Olas]

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.

People snogging (making out) on the bus.

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

 

[Queen Michael]

People snogging (making out) on the bus.

I can't stand that word.

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.

 

[Doclector]

I also dislike the sun!

I hate the heat. I want to live somewhere freezing cold. inb4 YOU WON'T LIKE IT. I'd rather be cold and trying to stay warm than sweating like mad and trying to stay cool.

People who bash on other people for their music taste. Just quit it.

Hardcore elitist gamers who can't ever seem to have fun unless they're #1 in a game.

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.

 

[USSR]

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?

 

[chinangel]

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.

 

[Zack Alklazaris]

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.
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

I live in texas so you'd think I'd be used to the heat by now... HELL NO

 

[attackshark]

the phrasing of certain sentences.

specifically, when people phrase a yes or no question with one part question, one part answer.

example: do you think the OP is a kitten smasher or no?

GOD DAMN IT. WHY DON'T YOU LET ME ANSWER?

people to this all the time, and every time i hear it, i want to hit them with a chair. it's people trying to fit more dialogue into a situation without actually saying anything and it drives me bonkers.

 

[Inconspicuous Trenchcoat]

Drivers who come racing up to you on the freeway/highway (being annoyed by tailgating isn't weird, but the behavior of the drivers is, so I say this counts):

Oh hello, Tailgater. I am sorry I am in your way, but there is a hoard of other cars ahead of us. You see, many of are driving to our destinations at the moment, so I'm afraid it'd be impossible to put pedal to metal in this case. Following me that closely isn't going to make a difference, and I'd rather not speed up and be only 5 feet behind a camper while going lethal MPH. Maybe when it's your birthday... you let me know then and I'll tailgate the person ahead of me as well, so together we can get to the exit ramp .004 seconds sooner. That'll be grand.

Eventually, they'll realize you're not about to speed up just for them and they'll change lanes and gun it. They will proceed for another few seconds before braking hard to avoid rear-ending the cars in that lane. See, crazy driver, I told you I was only going this speed because, due to traffic, there was no point going any faster, but you didn't believe me.

This happens way more frequently than I expect. Sometimes more than once a month. What is wrong with you people?

tl;dr I hate it when people tailgate you until the adjacent lane is clear, than launch themselves forward around you, only to brake hard 2 seconds later, because there's *GASP* cars in that lane too. Can't we all just drive safely and not die? I know we might have to get to work 5 minutes late every once in awhile, but isn't life more precious than that?

 

[OrenjiJusu]

That style of trouser that hangs around the knees and shows every casual observer your choice in underwear.
That is not how you wear trousers.

Also people on the internet using "ur" as a substitute for "your", "u" as a substitute for "you", or worst of all, spell "through" as "thru".

 

[Estranged180]

There is no end to the stream of obscenities that leave my face when I step on a power cord plug in bare feet. This is only one of my little weird pet peeves.

 

[doomspore98]

People who think that it's really funny to drive as close to me as possible when I'm biking down the street. And of course these guys are big hulking lads and when you flip them off they get out of their car and make you feel like your about to be killed. Thats the biggest one, but another would be people who overly complement me. It just makes me feel weird when I get complemented to a stupid extent.
