When smokers drop cigarette ashes all over the place.

Gayandgray · 08-26-2016, 07:54 PM

When people see me pushing my spouse in her wheelchair in Walmart parking lot and they don't bother to slow down and let us cross the road!

Taking out the trash. My son will wait till its falling on the floor then take it out, yes its just plain laziness on his part. Be glad when I can do it my self.

I have to argue a point here. I have no linen closet since they apparently phased them out 50 years ago...so my towels go on an etagere. The towels only fit if they're tri folded. And yes...they look neater to some people it does matter. But fold them the way you want lol. That's the best part of being single! Self dictatorship

I, too, play How High with the trash. When the tower crumbles, that's when you know it's time to take it out.

I make a point (a non-obvious one), to ask a new partner how she likes the towels folded. It is just easier and seems to be very important to some people.

I don't like when I am in a waiting room or bathroom stall and there are open chairs or stalls but the person comes and sits next to you.

Smiling · 08-31-2016, 07:48 PM

You're magnetic that way, Wrang1er. Be nice; I'm sure they can't help themselves. (I understand your frustration, though; I often have the same problem, lol)

What I'm about to discuss is probably more suited to the gross out thread, but this is the one on the front page so it's going here (Ooh, more material for those of you who are easily annoyed, lol)

Ceiling fans. No matter how often you clean, they are dirt collectors. And while I think it's great that they move air around (particularly here in the south where it can be very stale), it's still disgusting. I detest ceiling fans over my dining table, in my kitchen, and over my bed. And I'm no germophobe (homoe!). I think some dirt is good for a person. It builds character. But not over my dinner and not over the place where my naked body is laid out for rest and for anything else I may want to do there, okay?

....

I wonder if this has something to do with tribalism and some people needing to have a sense of community (even when relieving themselves).

Something else to think about in the middle of the night.

Smiling · 08-31-2016, 08:19 PM

You could very well be onto something there. For example, I've noticed it in parking lots, too. Empty spaces as far as the eye can see and 20 cars in a cluster in some far off corner of the place. And you know what else has always struck me as odd? Something could be laying around for ages, untouched, discarded, dusty, unwanted; but as soon as one person goes for it, everyone suddenly wants it.

Do you think those sorts of instincts are prevalent in the majority of people or are they just some weirdo DNA hangover from another epoch that hasn't quite been bred out of the collective gene pool yet? lol, or are the personal space people the outliers?

Human beings are simultaneously fascinating and repellent.

I am always nice...okay okay most of the time I'm nice. I prefer to be nice from a distance in those situations.

Perhaps. I guess I am that weirdo that likes to be on the outskirts of the community.

Orema, maybe we can think of Smiling resting nude in the middle of the night tonight.

LOL I'll leave that to you, as pleasant as it is, though I will be thinking of someone in those wee hours.

Yes, I think it's in the majority of people and the outliers are those who don't conform. I think it's in our DNA to mingle.

When I wake up in the middle of the night it's usually because something hurts or I have to go to the bathroom. I just couldn't resist razzing Smiling.

Omg I've thought this so often when people sit next to me in a completely empty theater. I call it the herding instinct

Actually that's a peeve of mine I hadn't thought of. If people sit next to me in an empty theater then shush me if I choose to make a comment to my companion...boo hoo on you. It was your choice to sit next to me. That's why I love the drive ins...you can converse, laugh and eat in peace. And no one cares that you snuck in a can of soda...cuz good luck opening it in a silent theater lol

Chad · 09-06-2016, 11:43 AM

The sound of utensils hitting a glass container. That drives me nuts. It is as bad as incessant humming.
Grrr!!

Play · 09-06-2016, 01:24 PM

I started reading this thread and "thanking" the posts the peeved me too.

I should have explained that it is my coworkers that drive me nuts with humming and scraping their lunch dishes. Haha! Perspective.

I still remember the co-worker who came in and showed you her rash or whatever it was and you suggested she see someone about it! I sure hope she wasn't humming while doing that..LMAO
