Little Annoyances

[Youko Recca]

I'm talking about these litle things that occasionally will happen to you in a day at a certain point, something that happens and you're like "Damn.", and then it's over and you pay no more attention, but at the time is annoying. The things that probally happens to all of us, but we don't really bother to talk about. You know. Name some stuff that could fall under this title.





- I usually take my clothes to the bathroom with me when I shower so, when I dry, I put 'em on and am on my way. Now, what I find annoying, is when I sit on the bed to put on a fresh, comforting pair of socks, and then forget about the trace amounts of water trickles on the ground. So, I'll come in the bathroom and hello there, I am now introduced to dampening socks. I hate soggy socks, mess it mad irritating.

- When I wash my hands in the kitchen, and then reach over to the towel holder, and my wet hand is too much for the towel, and it breaks apart. Not to mention how my hand seeps through the first towel, and hits an innocent towel that may have been of use for cleaning some spilt apple juice or something.

- Switching out Cds, putting the one that's exiting, into the one that's entering's case. This carries on in a pattern, until I realize nothing's where I want it, and then I have to take the time to fix it all. Only for the process to repeat itself the next day.

- Someone borrowing a pencil at school, and not paying attention, I lose track of them as they skeddadle out of class the second the bell rings. And I have a test next period, so I'm scared during it, hoping this, now my lone, pencil doesn't break.

- Conspiracy theories.

- Someone, anyone, most likely taking a huge dump in a bathroom mear minutes before I arrive, and the smell of it comes out at you like a Bruce Lee one-two combo.



Alright, your turn.

[Daizaburo Estes]

-Absentmindedly losing new pencil after new pencil until I'm left with nothing.

-GOOD white clothing + Food, drink, etc.= BIG FUN.

-Walking into a restroom at my school to find that it absolutely reeks of cigarrette smoke.

-When I'm lugging around an ungodly load and literally giving it my all the entire walk only to have it come CRASHING DOWN ONTO THE GROUND AT THE LAST SECOND.

-" 'Ey! Kin I borrow ---? I'll give it right back!"

Another classic is, "What's the answer to ---?" DO YOUR OWN DAMN WORK FOR ONCE.

-"Yer soooo weird/funny!!!"

-Same type of CD switching situation Recca talked about. The EXACT same thing.

-Washing my hands only to see that the traditional Hand-Drying Towel™ is absent from my restroom, which, in turn, forces me to resort to a fresh, unsullied bath towel.

And many, many more...

[Kury Wagner]

Eheh eheh, this'll be a big list as I'm easily annoyed. Especially by little things. Now let's do this:

Dropping a book and having the bookmark fall out. Urrrgh.

When my computer freezes up mid-sentence (i.e. when I'm right in the middle of typing). A second later it's fine, however.

When someone continually says "What?". Clean your damn ears. >_<

Having to explain my jokes.

People walking into a previously-going conversation.

When people pace near me.

Trying to get the title-sticker off of a new DVD and gnawing at the case without realizing it.

Losing the darn remote for the television.

CD switching like previously mentioned.

When you forget something so simple, like someone's name right after you meet them, or the title of that one song that was stuck in your head all day yesterday.

Lack of soap in bathrooms.

Poor treatment of bathrooms.

Getting a piece of popcorn stuck in my tooth.

Unmade beds (or poorly made beds)... no seriously. It annoys me SO much, I must (re)make it.

Overuse of "LOL", "idk" and "yea" online. If I ever become a billionaire, I'll buy every one of you teenybopper girls or boys with bad grammar a dictionary. Oh hell, I'll get you each a thesaurus too!

When I'm enjoying a yummy candy bar and some caramel (or whatever) zings my tooth. Ouch!

When I drop something, go to pick it up, and drop everything else.

Three words: Push not pull. Or vice versa. >_<

Typing something very long, only to have your browser cop out or computer lock up or something equally frustrating which makes you want to hit the computer. But that would hurt, so you curse at the friggin' hunk of metal for being so unhelpful instead.


Ah, thank you, Youko, that actually made me feel better. Go figure. =P

[Space Chief]

Crazy Frog

Clothes disappearing right when you need them

MST3K cancelled

Wet towels

Fish breaking free of the line

Cloudy nights

Full moons on non-cloudy nights

The fact that I can't find a CD store with a Van Der Graaf Generator section

The Used-Records and Sci-Fi Books store is closed

Sisters

People stopping and asking me what I'm listening to

The neighbors dog continually barking

Thinking you've found the link to the perfest site and being greeted by the 404 Error page of doom

:mad: :mad: :mad:

[Wanted]

When someone continually says "What?". Clean your damn ears. >_<I only wish it were that easy.

However, there's a number of things that bother me...

What Youko said about soggy socks and stuff
Other people going through my things, especially without my permission
Inconsistency when it comes to designs (bookcovers, DVD covers... you get the idea)
Letting people borrow utensils, then forgetting to retrieve them (which is why I must stop lending them out)
People that just won't shut up when necessary
People that don't take work seriously
People who are too critical of others (worry about yourself for a change; you'd be better off)
The way most people think that there is only one mainstream America
The way smart people get made fun of (sort of knowledgeably ironic)
Bad weather (cloudy days I can't stand)
Emoticons
What Kury said about "LOL" and stuff
When networks cancel TV shows that either are good or get high ratings
When a certain commercial is repeated very often

[Chime]

people jumping to conclusions, people in general, [there are many exceptions] homework

[BishopWells]

people jumping to conclusions, people in general, [there are many exceptions] homework

Those annoyances don't really seem that little! "People in general" refers to a much bigger annoyance.

[True Noir]

Three main ones that I can think of:

-My brother constantly burping every two minutes (he has a disease, i sware) but he's like "I can't help it!" Damn it, go to a doctor!
-When people are sitting on the couch and shaking their legs or moving them up and down and shaking the couch at the same time.
-People leaving messes for me to clean up.


The way smart people get made fun of (sort of knowledgeably ironic)


I disagree with this one actually. I don't think smart people get made fun of because they're smart...it's because they show it off. I wouldn't categorize myself as a "smart" person but I make pretty darn good grades and nobody makes discrediting comments towards me. It's mostly the people that like showing it off that get made fun of.

[Elven Moon]

-When I've just washed my hands to eat, and the phone rings or somebody calls me for something. I then have to wash them ALL OVER AGAIN.

-Stepping on something wet after I've just put on clean socks.

-Getting stuck behind slow walking people, and then having to manuever around.

-My computer freezing up for a few seconds when I'm in the middle of writing a sentence.

-Missing the first few minutes of a TV program.

[Sr.Infierno]

-People cursing in a public place with small children around. That just burns me up.

-Food dripping on my clothes.

[Natey]

-People cursing in a public place with small children around. That just burns me up.

-Food dripping on my clothes.

Same with me and People smoking infront of kids. 2nd hand smoking is just as bad and the little innocent kid doesn't even know it.

Not getting a refund

Commercials THAT LIE

When my team loses.

When people pick on me

Overuse of "LOL", "idk" and "yea" online. If I ever become a billionaire, I'll buy every one of you teenybopper girls or boys with bad grammar a dictionary. Oh hell, I'll get you each a thesaurus too!


I would be the first to go

[Remy]

people that smell bad on trains, lightrails, ect.
"Smart" people that talk about how smart they are
people that always use the word "ni*ga"
Toon Disney channel
At school dances when they play only one type of music, or they play the same 5 songs over and over
my brother
rude people that only make fun of other people
talking to people at school that I really dont like
people that want to look at my answers during a test..
people that wont shut-up
when I go to yard sales and there are lots of old people pushing me for something that is small and worth nothing
dvds that I rent that dont work because the person that had it before ruined it...
going to the store to find what I wanted to be gone
Over priced stores but you have to buy their stuff, because knowone else has it
when I leave my wallet inside my pants then they get washed

[Artimus Gigan]

Not being able to completely explain a complex thought in typed word form and people getting the wrong impression

having to explain the punchline of a joke because they go over people's heads

people who don't practice good hygene and insist on being in areas within my proximity

that the internet is not able to handle sarcasm

the maids who clean always mess my room's order up and put things in places where I would never have put them

That Ecto-Cooler became Tangerine Scream and now I can't find Tangerine Scream most of the time and when I do find Tangerine Scream it's had the green color removed usualy

Chemiphobes(people who are needlessly afraid of any sort of chemical) not realising that many "natural and organic" items have these very same compunds in them.

When I miss sales at major retailers ior forget the coupons associated with these sales

[cross blues]

-GOOD white clothing + Food, drink, etc.= BIG FUN.
but i love spaghetti and i love white t-shirts... damn it all.

Trying to get the title-sticker off of a new DVD and gnawing at the case without realizing it.
god i freaking HATE that. i have no fingernails and this DVD that costs $20 has more security than a video game. and then sometimes you get the cheap plastic that will rip in a million small pieces instead of peeling off! gah!

and then there are:

i'm at the sink in the bathroom washing my hands. some guy walks in, uses a urinal, walks out. nice.

"could i borrow your notes from last class?"

i'm driving in a long line of slow-moving cars, because there is traffic everywhere. this already has me annoyed. then, for some reason, the guy behind me thinks that the traffic will move faster if he tailgates me. hmm...

i get up at 7am to drive for an hour to my morning class. when i get there, next to the door is a cute note that says "sorry. professor ______ is sick today." :mad:

i go to the library to study between classes (well, i used to). now, it seems that the library is not for quiet reading/studying, but for blabbing about some hot guy over there or "oh my gawd i'm so going to that party tomorrow night!" and a bunch of jerks eating lunch, so the place smells all rotten.

the jerks in the library again... some can't chew with their mouths closed.

[Beefy]

-Car commercials. Seriously, how many car commercials do you see where the car is the only car on the road. They should show car commercials where the car is stuck in traffic, because that's where it will be 95% of the time.

-People who can't drive the speed limit. They always go 15mph above or 15mph below the speed limit.

-cleanerXL. Out of all the videos I encode with this program, 2 out of 3 are messed up and so I have to start over and hope it gets them right.

-Cleaning up other people's messes / doing other people's work for them.

-The CD case dilemma others have mentioned.

-People who stop and talk in the middle of the hallway.

-People who complain about how bad a show is, yet they keep watching it. If it's so bad, don't watch it. Save the rest of us from your whining.

-Those pop-under ads that get around pop-up blockers.

[Gold]

People who are annoyed easily and are extremely loud and vocal about it.

[AkirQueen]

When my computer freezes up mid-sentence (i.e. when I'm right in the middle of typing). A second later it's fine, however.

When people pace near me.

Trying to get the title-sticker off of a new DVD and gnawing at the case without realizing it.

I hear ya on those 3.

Sometimes when I'm typing something, just the text won't come up. I can backspace and move the mouse and everything perfectly, but for about a minute, I can't type the rest of the word.

GAH this annoying kid in my class paces like crazy before the first class of the day. Our teacher doesn't come in early, so we have to sit outside of the room and wait for her to open it. I'm sitting on the floor, and he's pacing around in a very small area for 5 minutes straight in a rather weird fashion. For Pete's sake, SIT DOWN.

As for the dvds cases, I hate the ones that now have 3 white labels over the closings. The one on the long side isn't so bad since its not covering the plastic sheet covering, but its the double-trouble top and bottom ones that get ya.

Hm...I get annoyed by a lot of things...
-forgetting what to say or type in these kind of topics >_<

-anyone who uses "and stuff" at the end of their sentences (not in text).

-people who don't pay attention to videos in class and just talk, when they're supposed to be filling out a worksheet, and at the end, they scramble to get answers from those who did pay attention.

-when people borrow your pencil and start treating it like their own (ie. chew on it, use it to get at an itch, sneeze on it, etc)

-OBNOXIOUS LAUGHTER, holy crap, I can't stand it. Its like nails on a chalkboard for me...actually its worse than that.

-needle getting stuck on the sewing machine, and the fabric that was being sewn gets caught in the little hole and you have no choice but to rip/cut the fabric out and it in turn usually ruins it.

-those freaking "Yeti" boots girls wear. I'm sorry, but they're hideous and it looks like you just killed two cats.

-shaving my legs and then after leaving the house, I realize that I missed a small amount of hairs on one leg and for the rest of the day it bugs me.

Think that's it for now.

[Kury Wagner]

When I quickly save a file, then run off to do something else, or shut off the monitor and hope to get back to it soon, only to find out that it had an "Are you sure?" box up and didn't save. So if my computer had crashed, my file would be gone... which has happened more times than I would've liked.

When my printer freezes up, mid-print.

Getting tangled up in my headphones' cord. Heh, it was funny the first few times, now it's just extremely annoying. And painful.

When I'm watching television while doing other stuff, and someone else comes into the room and says "Oh, I don't like this show." and changes the channel. >_o

The one on the long side isn't so bad since its not covering the plastic sheet covering, but its the double-trouble top and bottom ones that get ya.Exactly. Glad it's not just me who thinks this. It especially ticks me off when some of the paper from the cover is sticking out from the thin plastic and is stuck to the sticker.

-shaving my legs and then after leaving the house, I realize that I missed a small amount of hairs on one leg and for the rest of the day it bugs me.
Geh, yes, that bothers me so much.

[AkirQueen]

It especially ticks me off when some of the paper from the cover is sticking out from the thin plastic and is stuck to the sticker. That hasn't happened to me yet, but yea, that stinks --;

Still related to dvd care...I hate it when you let people borrow a dvd of yours, and they just pass it around to other people without your consent. So after a week of waiting to get it back from the person you originally gave it to, you get it back from like the 5th person to borrow it.
That or the case is in shambles and can't be used anymore, because the person was careless and didn't watch out for another person's property and their little brothers got to it and decided to play Sock Em Boppers with dvd cases. Rest in pieces, s-CRY-ed volume 1 case....

Not exactly a little annoyance, but an annoyance still.

[sdp]

People that don't flush public restrooms...it takes little effort to do it, if you don't want to touch it use your foot..

-yellow lights are for people that can't break anymore and have to go, NOT for you to accelerate so you can hope to pass the line while its still yellow, grrrr it annoys me to no end, i have a green light but have to wait because of people like that!

[Martianinvader]

GAH this annoying kid in my class paces like crazy before the first class of the day. Our teacher doesn't come in early, so we have to sit outside of the room and wait for her to open it. I'm sitting on the floor, and he's pacing around in a very small area for 5 minutes straight in a rather weird fashion. For Pete's sake, SIT DOWN.

If he's like me, it's easier for him to walk around than sit down, because his mind is so active and wandering that he needs to expel energy to get it out. I do the same thing; do you hate me too?

[purplehairedwonder]

-those freaking "Yeti" boots girls wear. I'm sorry, but they're hideous and it looks like you just killed two cats.
Ugg and Ugg-wannabe boots? Yeck, those are hideous. And when girls tuck their jeans into them. I'm sorry, but that is not an attactive fashion statement. It's one thing to need boots like those in snow (like we have here constantly) but to wear them like they look good? :shrug:

-shaving my legs and then after leaving the house, I realize that I missed a small amount of hairs on one leg and for the rest of the day it bugs me.
I hate that too. It's so obnoxious.

When I'm watching television while doing other stuff, and someone else comes into the room and says "Oh, I don't like this show." and changes the channel. >_o
I missed Naruto last week because a relative did that. I was pissed.

Others:
- The CD/DVD case dilemma

- People crowding around in the halls during class changes. Seriously, our school is about 500 people overcrowded and many of the halls are narrow as it is and they still stop and talk while the rest of us are trying to walk.

- Going to a store and they don't have what I want. Two recent examples: I've been looking for Spiral vol. 4 all over. Hastings carries vols. 1,2,3,5,6. That doesn't help! And then I went looking for Fruits Basket manga vols. 9 and 10. Hastings had 1-8,and 10-12. Grr.

- Skiiers continually talking about how great snow is and then complaining when it gets warm and melts (I hate snow and like warm :ack: ).

- Getting called on in class on the one problem you don't know the answer to.

- People screwing up my TV recording

- Gross public bathrooms, especially when you really need to go

- No paper towels when you've washed your hands

- Forgetting there ws something you wanted to watch on TV until it's almost over.

[Speedy Boris]

My life right now is full of little annoyances which, when added up, are enough to drive me insane on a daily basis.

[Brent Long]

People responding to What time is it?" with "Time for you to get a new watch.".

Ridiculous overuse of exclaimation points.

People who respond to "What did you do last night?" with "Your Mom.".

Any Truth advertisements. I don't even smoke, and yet I still find these things incredibly annoying.

People crowding around in the halls during class changes. Seriously, our school is about 500 people overcrowded and many of the halls are narrow as it is and they still stop and talk while the rest of us are trying to walk.

This drives me insane at my school. I'm glad someone else knows what I'm talking about. Annoyingly enough our school administration having sold their buidling for next to nothing is planning on moving administrative offices into our already poorly designed school which will creat an incredibly large traffic jam between classes.

The way smart people get made fun of (sort of knowledgeably ironic)

I'm really glad somebody else notices this. In my opinion this is a serious problem in this country's youth.

People stopping and asking me what I'm listening to

This is why if I ever got an iPod I would almost never use it in any public place.

Unmade beds (or poorly made beds)... no seriously. It annoys me SO much, I must (re)make it.

I do this too. Fortunately most everyone in my family is pretty neat so this is rarely a problem.

Overuse of "LOL", "idk" and "yea" online.

Overuse? The fact that they're used in general infuriates me to no end.

[Warrior Kitana]

-People cursing in a public place with small children around. That just burns me up.

It's even worse when small kids pick up those habits and start cursing themselves. Some time ago, I called a close friend's house only to have her niece (who sounds no older than about 3 or 4 years of age) answer the phone and say "Hey Mother******". :shrug:

But other annoyances I have include:

-Noisy people in the dorms. Especially when I'm trying to study, do homework, or watch TV and to have someone yell, scream, turn on some loud music or make any sort of loud noise in the hallways is annoying.

-Gross and Filthy Public Bathrooms

-When people bump up old threads with not much to add or say or when people go way off topic in threads

-Talking or having to associate with People I dislike

-When my computer freezes, especially when I'm typing a long essay or making a long comment.

-When immature people go about and flame websites or shrines

-Overcrowded places. I used to go to an overcrowded high school and now I go to a college with a large population, there are times when I'm walking (usually trying to get to class) and somebody abruptly stops infront of me to start talking. They should atleast move to the side outta the way of other people.

-People who constantly pick on others or make fun of them

-Overuse of of internet words such as "LOL", "OMG", etc.

[Captain Zechs]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

-When people complain about Mods, seriously I just want to rip out their guts, cause I don't think they could do any better.

-When someone calls THEMSELVES a loser, I just think that it is pathetic and that they are seeking attention.

-When someone starts a conversation with me, but can't keep it up.

-Spammers...

[Kury Wagner]

-When people complain about Mods, seriously I just want to rip out their guts, cause I don't think they could do any better.That applies to me.
-When someone calls THEMSELVES a loser, I just think that it is pathetic and that they are seeking attention.Me.
-When someone starts a conversation with me, but can't keep it up.Me.
-Spammers...Damn it! Me!

This means that you find me annoying, Zechy. *single dramatic tear*

[Captain Zechs]

Well...if you do do those things, you do it so I dont notice, you don't annoy me Kury.

And I mean people who go out of their way to say "Mods suck, I have no respect for them".

[AkirQueen]

Overcrowded places. I used to go to an overcrowded high school and now I go to a college with a large population, there are times when I'm walking (usually trying to get to class) and somebody abruptly stops infront of me to start talking.

Ditto. My highschool is chock full of rude people who won't move or just stop or run in front of you. Actually had this one obnoxious girl go through the halls and purposely put her leg out to trip people, including me, but she failed and instead kicked me hard in the shin.
Inspired by my highschool...

-people who sit on the stairs, leaving barely room for just one person to pass, and do not MOVE

[Delthayre]

1. People who get annoyed when I talk in my normal fashion and who cannot seem to accept that I do find it more comfortable to say, "inebriated," in lieu of, "drunk.'

2. People who stand at inconvenient places in high traffic areas, especially those obnoxious 'couples' for whom love seems to amount to little besides constant contact, thus creating a double-sized impediment to my getting where I need to ****ing go!

3. That slow, rambling, low-energy walk that 'urban' culture has popularized. Be cool on your own ****ing time, I'm trying to go somewhere today!

4. Clubs veritably flooding the posting boards with their flyers (political clubs seem particularly prone to this).

5. Wireless headsets for cell phones. I find encroaching convenience to be obnoxious. So far the principal applicatiosn of this technology seem to have been making me think people are schizophrenic and allowing people who were all ready extremely obnoxious with cellular phones be even worse. I know it has reasonable and practical applications, but for most users the point seems to be maximizing the combination of laziness, inconsiderateness, and vapidity.

6. Cellular phones in general just piss me off. I have one, but outside of coordinating trips (for getting home from college) and possible emergency use, I am loath to use the infernal thing (why the hell does my phone have a camera?). I cannot stand these slouched over buffoons that trundle about perpetually chatting with some unseen 'buddy' who cannot possible have enough interesting things to say to fill up the preposterous amount of time some people spend with these little devices seemingly grafted onto their ear as the anchor for some dehumanizing umbilicus. It's like they'll perish if not constantly supplied with vacuous conversation and must carry one out no matter how innappropriate or obnoxious.

7. I hate those greeters that some stores have. I don't want Best Buy to welcome me, I want Best Buy to leave me the **** alone until I've find the item I was seeking and need to purchase it, and mercy help you if you try cajole me into getting some ridiculous, "club card," because I've all ready spent enough time in your insufferable store and I may well snap your blasted neck if you delay my escape any longer.

[Wanted]

You're my kind of guy, Delthayre... get in, get out. No funny business. 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7 seem to apply to me perfectly.

[Brent Long]

1. People who get annoyed when I talk in my normal fashion and who cannot seem to accept that I do find it more comfortable to say, "inebriated," in lieu of, "drunk.'

This happens to me on occasion too. Fortunately most of my friends also talk similarly so it's really only a problem with people I don't know or dislike.

2. People who stand at inconvenient places in high traffic areas, especially those obnoxious 'couples' for whom love seems to amount to little besides constant contact, thus creating a double-sized impediment to my getting where I need to ****ing go!

I despise these same types of people as well. I've always wished that at school a minimum walking speed should be instated.

I've actually asked all my student councilman to put forth the possibility of dividing some hallways into a fastlane and a slowlane.

3. That slow, rambling, low-energy walk that 'urban' culture has popularized. Be cool on your own ****ing time, I'm trying to go somewhere today!

I'm the polar opposite of them. I run to and from classes at school darting inbetween people to get through them and I quickly power walk in other locations to get to my destination.

7. I hate those greeters that some stores have. I don't want Best Buy to welcome me, I want Best Buy to leave me the **** alone until I've find the item I was seeking and need to purchase it, and mercy help you if you try cajole me into getting some ridiculous, "club card," because I've all ready spent enough time in your insufferable store and I may well snap your blasted neck if you delay my escape any longer.

I've always wondered if anyone really likes these greeters much less have them be the reason why they chose to go to that particular store to buy that product in favor of a store who doesn't have greeters.

You're my kind of guy, Delthayre... get in, get out. No funny business. 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7 seem to apply to me perfectly.

Then I guess by that regard I'd be your kind of guy too.

[Kagetsu]

The one that drove me to get my own computer,,,People, anywhere within earshot but usually right next to you, who make that *SNUK* sound when their nose runs.

Going anywhere in winter, wearing a heavy coat, that will have to be carried once you're inside.

[Wolfie~Giri]

-When all is quiet and peaceful in the morning; and then suddenly everyone else in your house is up and loud as possible.

-When locker buddies take their sweet time

-When my friends' ring tones go off constantly
minute

-My own ring tone.

[Scythemantis]

Cellular phones and their popularity disgust me, but I couldn't possibly put it better than Delthayre. It truly is dehumanizing.

-People cursing in a public place with small children around. That just burns me up.

I heard cursing all the time when I was little and never picked it up. All children know what the words mean, they're only in any danger when they've been sheltered too much.

One of my coworkers was with me in a wal-mart once, and couldn't find what he was looking for, so he said "aw, (the most versatile word in the english language)" and this HUGE (tall, muscular and obese) bald guy with a beard says "HEY WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE AROUND MY KID!" (an infant in a cart, far too young to comprehend swear words). Coworker gave him the finger and the guy chases him down, calls him a (slur usually used against homosexuals) , and tries to throw a punch, coworker gives him a bloody nose in one swing and walks off. Store security didn't even notice/care.

It was hilarious, and the guy deserved it. What kind of example did he think he was setting for children, anyway?
He obviously had a real violent streak. The only thing that can get more irritating than children are their overprotective parents.

[Tenku]

- When people mispronounce my name [and spell it wrong].

- People invading my privacy. I'm talking about looking over your shoulder, asking "What'cha doing?" Or, someone busting in my room without any kind of warning or a courtesy knock.

- Being afraid of rain. I swear, people at my school are deathly scared of rain. They crowd the little cover we have and then have the balls to stop while others are trying to get to classes. Me? I grab a book for an temp. umbrella and go on my way.

- Loud people. I like to think and if I hear you, you're too damn loud. Sometimes I wish I just pack a roll of duct tape so I can shut their traps up.

- Improper grammar/spelling. I can't stand to see sentences out of structure and butchered to hell. I guess this is since I'm *something* of a writer and my mom is a English teacher. I occasionally break this rule by saying "ya'll" and "ain't" since I'm also country. Doesn't show, does it?

- People who drive slow. You're trying to get from Point A from Point B and you got this slow car that is hindering the process. Speed limit is 45, not 15.

- People who talk big but really can't do anything without their posse.

- People who stare. Got a problem? Don't look.

- An append to improper grammar/spelling: People who write notes. I can't understand half of what they're trying to say. If someone did that to me, I'd only write "Please write in English, not this psuedo-crap you're trying to do."

- People making fun of nerds. Hey, they're gonna work for one either way. I'd get smart and make friends with them.

- People singing. I know you love to sing but, please, try to do in tune. And if you do know how to sing, don't sing loudly; it's like "Ooh! Look at me, I can SING!"

- People who tell me "Don't frown; smile!" especially in the morning. Obviously, there are some in the world that hasn't met a person who doesn't like to wake up 6 in the morning.


As you can see, I'm not a nice person after all. Then again, I'm not mean.

"Little" annoyances are the worst of all to me. When a total stranger does something ignorant, I end up holding a life-long grudge over it. I still hate teachers who were unfair to me in first grade.

WEEKS ago I was going exactly the speed limit, and another car not only felt the need to drive two feet behind me, but they had their hi-beams on, which was bad enough, except that when any OTHER car came by...they turned them off. Then they turned them right back on, just for me. At one point they actually stopped in the middle of the road until I couldn't see them anymore, then came right up on my again minutes later. They kept going (and sped up by 15 miles, at least) when I made my turn.

It's been weeks and I still deeply, DEEPLY regret not slamming on my breaks and potentially injuring or even killing them. I'd never get in trouble for it...they were tailgating and shining their brights on me, in the middle of night, in the rain, on a narrow road with guardrails. They were begging for trouble, and I seriously hate myself for not teaching them a lesson. Turning the other cheek is all I ever do and I have never, ever been happy with it.
