Things that Annoy You

Postby Glenstorm the Great » Mar 29, 2010 7:55 pm

what things bother you? Someone tapping? Cardboard being scraped? Clasps of necklaces in front? Uneven hoodie laces?

I absolutely hate chalk- the sound it makes is horrifying. What are some little ticks that drive you insane?

My number 1 pet peeve is being late. I am a lot better than I used to be but I still can't stand being late. If I am there and it starts late, I am usually fine with that. But if something is at a certain time and I am not there even five minutes before, you will notice it. In fact, the worst tantrum I ever threw as a little kid was when the baby sitter put me to bed half an hour PAST my bedtime. I had an interesting childhood but I don't have time (not to mention being so off topic it's not funny) to delve into that here.
Be watching for the release of my spiritual warfare novel under a new title: "Call to Arms" by OakTara Publishing. A sequel (title TBD) will shortly follow.

Following that, it really bothers me when someone is really late and keeps something from starting (myself included). The most frustrated I ever got was when our band leader asked us to arrive half an hour earlier that usual. He arrived twenty minutes late.

Oh, this is a lot but I won't complain much because pessimisst are among the people that annoy me. ;)

1. Wrinkles in my clothes or sheets
2. Waking up late on a holiday (Although I love sleeping in. Ironic. :P )
3. Getting a library book that's stained
4. Getting a library book with half the back ripped out.
5. Messes that seem really hard to clean up. (Messes with something spilt are fine, but the ones where there's paper everywhere really get on my nerves.)
6. The negative traits of my introvertedness. >_>
7. Someone who talks only about themselves. In some cases, I don't usually mind someone who talks too much, but it depends on how annoying they're being: if I can't think of anything to say and they're filling up talking space, I'm okay with it, but if they're talking, seeing that I have to go or that I want to talk, then it gets on my nerves.
8. When cat hair gets all over my clothes
There's more, but it's better I stop. ;))

fingernails on a chalk board: the worst sound ever! %-(

One that I can think of right now...

Someone shaking out the crumby, dirty, dishcloth that they used to wipe the table into my fresh, clean, hot, soapy dishwater. :p

My hair and makeup have to be just right or I will be really annoyed. I can't stand when people scratch their fingernails on seatbelts! I am cringing just thinking about it. My sheets touching the floor is very unexceptable to me. I am the type of person that gets more annoyed about things that don't matter. It's a curse really, but I can't help myself! :ymblushing: Also my spot at the table has to be very clean or I will not sit there.

People talking during movies. Movies aren't cheap, and I pay to see it, not listen to other people blabbering on.

Ooh, I got another. People jumping in a room with a CD playing so the CD skips. Especially when they're trying to make it skip.

As in Linus Van Pelt's famous line, Booky? "I love mankind; it's people I can't stand". ;))

Anywho, for me? Tailgaters :-l and ...
licking a popsicle stick. *shivers and shakes* x_x

Also, I become wearied by people who talk a lot, hardly listen to others, and always seem to bring what little conversation there may be back to themselves. :-@ :p

1 When I'm about to eat and there's stuff in my spot at the table (really odd since I'm one of the messiest people in the house)
2 people who complain a lot
3 gossip
4 the smell of beets
5 underestimations of the capabilities of the rest of the species on the planet

1. I hate to work in a cluttered area. I'm not as obsessed as I once was...at one time I couldn't STAND working in a messy space, but now I'm better at ignoring it. :D
2. I'm a big letter-writer, and for some odd reason it really bugs me when someone only writes only one side of the paper, skipping the back and going onto a 2nd piece of paper! There's all that space on the back to fill!
3. People talking during a movie...the sort that talk TO the movie: "No!! Don't do that!!! Are you stupid???" ;)

I wish the kids I baby sit for would get upset if they get to bed late. Usually it is the other way around. You've got me curious about your childhood now. :p

=)) I laughed when I saw that, hence the smiley.

I could come up with a huge list but that would make me feel like I'm complaining too much. :p
  1. When people do not take responsibility for their own actions / lives or when parents allow their children not to take responsibility for their actions (ex. if the student isn't doing well in school it must be the teachers fault (I'm not saying the teacher doesn't have some responsibility in the matter of learning but the student needs to take some too).
  2. When people use "badly" wrong. One feels bad not badly.
  3. When my cat walks across my laptop or blocks me from using it effectively.
  4. When boys/men talk about eating too much.
  5. When things that should take just a few minutes end up taking a long time.
  6. Loud parties, noises late at night / early morning

Agreed.

6. Humidity
7. Winters without snow
8. long periods of rain
9. greedy people
10. people who abesolutly refuse to think outside of the box

@ johobbit: As in "ice cream popsicle sticks"- that you've bought for yourself. That's interesting. Well you probably won't like the fact that I have a tendency to chew on mine. (*innocent whistle*)
