Professionals who can't or wont explain a problem/solution to the layperson that's paying them. This includes doctors, lawyers, mechanics and anyone else that hides behind a lot of mumbo jumbo "technical" blah blah.

I don't need it broken down into single syllable words but I am bright enough to understand most common usage words. My newest epiphany is that if they can't explain it, they're ripping me off.

1. Call Centers... need I say more... a monstrously ugly turn into the abyss of exploited, disgruntled workers and frustrated cheated customers.

2. Automated telephone systems that send you into a crazy-making maze of number choices that leave you so horribly confused and trapped that all you want to do is throw that TV, fridge, whatever, out the window and go fire bomb the company (just a figure of speech...do not try this at home )

I absolutely hate automated telephone systems...I didn't mind them so much when the actually gave an option to get to a real person, but they don't even do that anymore. Drives me nuts

I hate when my kids take the last of something (packet of oatmeal...last cookie etc) and leave the empty box. Im under the impression that I have these things still and dont replace them....burns my biscuit!

Diablo · 07-12-2014, 08:52 PM

MrSunshine · 07-12-2014, 09:47 PM

Hair! Anyone's, on me. Or in any place on my body it should not be. Even my own when I get it cut I have to run home and shower.

That shit shows up in my food and I am coming out the box!

MsTinkerbelly · 07-13-2014, 02:15 AM

People who step over a hanger or bit of trash and keep on going.

I have two of them in my house and it makes my blood boil!

Nicking my finger nails before the paint has dried.

Candelion · 07-13-2014, 08:35 AM

People who ask you what you are doing on a specific date as though if you have nothing planned you want to do their stupid activity.

This is how it should be done: "I wonder, Candelion, if you would like to go to the monster truck pull with me on Saturday." Perfect. Now, I know exactly what their nefarious plans are. I can politely respond with, "Oh, I'm dreadfully sorry, but I have tickets to the duck calling contest that day. Enjoy the truck pull!"

You are taking all the fun outta "surprising you" with gawdawful plans!!!

Here's how I do it... Candelion darling, I have an extra ticket to the Circus. Do you know anyone who might like to go?

That way you can holler, "what about ME!?! I want to go!!!"

theoddz · 07-14-2014, 10:08 AM

I've been considered by many as a bit of a "neat freak" and my house HAS to be in order and tidied up before we leave to go somewhere and when we go to bed at night. I can NOT.....will NOT tolerate dishes being in the sink. I HATE that!!!

I DETEST dirty dishes being left in the sink, or crumbs on the countertops, especially overnight. For one thing, it draws roaches. Dear wife does NOT deal with roaches and will hop up on a chair if she spots one on the floor, and will commence to screaming for me to "COME GET THIS DAMNED NASTY ROACH!!!". I have my house professionally sprayed every month, and have had since I first bought this house nearly 11 years ago. We do NOT have roaches and I intend to keep it that way!! So dirty dishes are promptly rinsed and put in the dishwasher and the counter tops and kitchen sink are wiped down and dried each evening.

I'm so very happy that dear wife and I are very much on the same page with tidiness and good order. We both do chores around here, now that I'm retired, and our home is always in order and spic 'n span. Anything else would drive us both the the drink!!! LOL

There's NO excuse for nastiness, in our books. If you've got the energy to mess it up, you're going to damned sure FIND the energy to clean it up.

1. The way some people walk in flip flops.

2. Getting fruit in my bag at Halloween.

3. When people finish my sentences.

4. Hair on soap.

5. People who leave time on the microwave. Clear the damn clock!

6. Porn clips where the where the audio is slightly delayed.

7. People who open the door for you and they are 200 feet away.

8. When I text a joke or something funny and the person does not reply. I mean really, a haha or a lol will do. It only takes two seconds. I mean hello!

9. People who make up names, use creative thinking, or unneccesary punctuation in their kids names. Like T'yffanee. Makes my skin crawl.

10. When I walk into an empty movie theatre with people who chose to sit in the very front. Why would you unnecessarily volunteer to break your neck or 2 hours.

11. Chalk. Looking at chalk, touching chalk, writing with chalk, watching someone write with chalk, writing about chalk, anything else with that devilishly textured abomination of calcium carbonate. Chalk can burn and die in whatever hell there is for inanimate objects.

12. People who say warshing machine or winder instead of washing machine or window.

13. Family reunions in the middle of a store that block the whole aisle.

CherryWine · 11-03-2014, 02:57 PM

I could hear a guy smacking his lunch in the room across the hall from my office today. People smacking and talking with food in their mouths drives me insane. Say it don't spray it, ya know?

Vivacious1 · 11-03-2014, 07:55 PM

I do not under any circumstances like my hands to get dirty. I know, I am neurotic. It makes me nuts. Eating ribs? BBQ chicken? No freaking way!

I may have posted this when the thread was first started but it is so irritating; I shall do it again:

People that talk throughout a movie!

We went to see Nightcrawler the other day. It was a matinee so there were a ton of empty seats but of course, they sat right in front of us.

They proceeded to talk non-stop. I shushed them a few times, they stopped for a second, and then, could not help themselves- they were off and running again.

Other than them, the theater was quiet.

Finally, I leaned over and said: "You are not in your living room watching TV. Would you please be quiet and stop talking?"

They finally shut up.

Irritating beyond all measure.

Good for you!!!

That also bugs me; when you are already comfortably ensconced in your seat and the place is EMPTY...and people sit RIGHT BY YOU... I call it the herding instinct...then they proceed to talk...sheesh...

I have actually had to YELL at someone who answered their phone not once but TWICE during the movie....twice. People suck man....

A. Spectre · 11-17-2014, 08:46 AM

in a parking lot, i get as far away as possible to park. have seen too many inconsiderate people throw their doors open and ding the side of adjacent car.

usually, most folks will waste a gallon of petro to find the closest spot (amiright?) so, my away parking spot is devoid of most drivers.

BUT.....every now and then, after returning to car from making a purchase, i see a pick up truck the size of east AND west jesus parked 2 inches away from my door. why? plenty of other spaces available.

why?
