When you recieve a Email and you have to Scroll from left to the
far Right to read the entire content sent grrrrr when someone gives you
their email address or they email...you write..and you write again..and
they don't answer..why do they even bother to say, "Email me sometime"?????
such a waste of time.. Recieving a Email it states if you want to unsubscribe
reply to (a given address) after copy and paste the Damm email is returned
Undeliverable or address is no good. (Spam tecnique) get you subscribed
and you are stuck.
(Web Sites)
After all content of a Web Site is Downloaded your have to Scroll
Left to Right to see whats there (Possible made on large Monitor?) :)
(Etiquette)
An almost empty milk container in the refrigerator. -- An unsolicited
favor.. big GRRR Turning over a ketchup bottle only to have the separated
liquid pour out onto my fries before the ketchup does. When people don't
say good-bye when you hang up, they will just hang up with out some form
of signature. That drives me nuts!!!!
(House/Living/whatever)
No light bulbs when ya need 'em -- grrr (ok, ok, it's usually my
own fault) When you try to get the toilet paper off the roll, and I am
only able to tear off little pieces at a time because the roll itself is
bigger than the slot it is in! The roll will not 'roll'.... arrrrgh!
(Grammar/Language)
adding the suffix -wise indiscriminately...! White people attempting
Black slang... word. I really hate it when people put in writing the words
hi and lo when they mean high and low or if they write nite when they mean
night. It just really bugs me!! :-)
(Language)
People on chat shows who punctuate each sentence with at least two
occurences of the phrase "y'know".
People who finish every sentence with "you know what I mean"????
No..I didn't get it at all..say it all over again.
Saying "supposebly" for "supposedly."
College graduates who say nucular instead of nuclear and who say
'What it is is...' instead of 'It is...'.
People who use "your" instead of "you're"....ARGGGGGGggggggg!!!
I hate when people use the word "literally" to add emphasis to what they
really mean "figuratively". For instance, if I were to say "That literally
drives me up the wall" when of course it does not *literally* drive me
anywhere, it's a figure of speech. Misuse of "comprise." Admittedly a tricky
word. It means, "to contain" or "to consist of." For example, "the US comprises
of 50 states."
People who feel it necessary to use an apostrophe with every plural--
as in 'It was raining cat's and dog's.' How about when someone say's "Needless
to say", and then they go ahead and say it. Shhheeeeesh.
Rappers who sample: a) show some originality guys!, and b) you've
ruined my favorite 80's songs!!
To hear the overuse of the word "myself." Everyone, it seems, must
use the word constantly....." He and myself witnessed such and such......or
the tree just came out of nowhere to hit myself......" This word must be
deleted from the English language before MYSELF BLOWS!!!!
Reference to people as "that" rather than "who;" ie: the girl that
wore the red coat rather than the girl who wore the red coat.
Reconize instead of RecoGnize Libary instead of LibRary Using "Oriental"
when referring to people (inanimate objects are Oriental, people are Asian)
doing things "on accident" (Michigan) instead of "by accident" Dropping
"ly" from adverbs "It was real hot." "He ran very quick." The use of "a
lot" into one word "alot" when people say "anyways" instead of "anyway"
(classic language)
I hate it when people say that they "could care less." Well, if
you COULD care less, that means that you do care. They obviously mean to
say that they "couldn't care less," signifying no deference towards the
situation at hand! [a nasty meme that one] People who say "To make a long
story short" then go on for a half hour dissertation ... when it really
should have been "To make a short story long". "I have a question to 'ax'
you?" Well, they can "ask" all the questions they want but I get a bit
leery when they want to "ax" me. (Incompetence)
When someone tells you they will take care of a situation, then
they don't do anything about it, and they don't tell you that they didn't
do anything.
Individual wished to unsubscribe... not feeling energetic enough
to scroll down to the bottom of the message-- regular exercise and a healthy
diet could probably fix that. If you would just stop sending me the [censored]
mail then I wouldn't have to read the instructions [censored]. Mothers
who pretend not to hear their whining children ALL OVER the store.
(getting on my last nerve!)
People who are too lazy to take the trash out so they will either
pile it so high it falls all over the floor or stand on it so hard you
need a jackhammer to empty it the can! when I am having a conversation
with someone, and another person comes up and starts talking to the other
person, right while I'm in mid-sentence. I always feel like saying "Hello...
am I in the room?!" 1) using the last of the TP and not getting out another
roll 2) using the last of the TP and putting new roll on roller 3) dripping
on seat and not wiping after 4) men not preventing drop ins by returning
seat to down position 5) stinking up the bathroom and not turning on the
fan 6) toothpaste spit left to dry in sink 7) lid not being relplaced on
toothpaste Public bathrooms Ok, I understand that some people are leery
of public toilets. But if you're going to wrap the seat in toilet paper
like a porcelain christmas present, the least you can do is unwrap it when
you're done.
When trying to place an order at a fast food restaurant where there
are multiple options to my selection ("I'd like a #2 special; crispy; spicy;
all dark meat; with fries; diet coke; to go, please") and the order-taker
keeps interrupting me before I can finish saying what I want ("do you want
mild or spicy? crispy or regular? dark or light? for here or to go?")!!!
I hate that--it's so rude!!! or Pull up to a drive thru, ("I'd like a Monster
burger Please") then you are asked "would you like fries and a drink with
that" Damm if I'd wanted fries and/or drink I would have stated that when
order was given, then when you pull up to the window you sit there as though
waiting for them to catch and butcher the beef.
Coworkers who expect more than they deliver people who enjoy talking
but don't listen
(Classic)
Ever stand in front of an elevator then someone else comes and presses
the button... as if you were had not already and was just standing there
for something to do ??
People with a cell phone that is constantly answered by an answering
service. Missing the point of the cell? Don in Windermere,BC People with
cell phones on the bus or the train. If you could afford a cellular phone
you shouldn't be riding the bus. Someone living in the projects driving
around a Lexus People in airports trying to look important by "checking
in with the office". Hey, buddy, I bet the office is glad you're gone.
And if their staff can't handle a crisis, they either need better training
or more authority.
People who take their pagers, cell phone, laptops on vacation. When
traffic is backed up for about a mile and when you finally get to the front
of the line, you find out that there was a minor wreck, or just somebody
with their car pulled off the road.
People are so nosy and so busy rubbernecking, that they hold up
all the traffic. super-organized people who fumble for their change while
approaching a toll both, can't find it, start looking for it and then rear-end
somebody, thus holding up the line for hours. That peeves me. But the worst
kind are those who miss the guy in front, ram the toll both and knock it
over. Then we all have to sit and wait for the booth to be repaired to
pay our tolls. That really peeves me off! Especially when it happens at
night and we have to wait till the next day.
When someone takes your belongings without asking, and when you
question them about it, they go 'I knew you would lend it to me anyway.'
And when you request politely for permission to borrow someone's belongings,
she starts talking about how so-and-so still hasn't returned the 1 cent
he borrowed 5 years ago.
How about if you go to take a shower an there is that nasty pair
of washed panty hose hanging on the shower door We have a 5 line phone
system. When there is a caller on one of the lines, the light next to that
line blinks. Everyone has these lights on their phones. I hate when I tell
someone that they have a call, and they look down at their phone, then
ask me "On which line?" - WHEN THERE IS ONLY ONE LINE BLINKING. Helloooooooo....
(Driving)
When people drive behind you with their high beams on. They turn
them down for on coming traffic but as soon as the oncoming car passes,
back on go the highbeams right into your rearview and sideview mirrors!
People slamming on their brakes to avoid an errant chipmunk, without
looking in their mirror to see my car about to crush their car.
People honking their car horn when they see a friend in traffic,
as a substitute for waving. When you notice that your keys are still in
the car as you slam the door.
Waiting at a 4-way stop for that driver that's been there since
dawn and just won't go before the entire intersection's clear. [Reminds
me of a scene from Steve Martin's "L.A. Story" --ed.]
Tall vehicles, like minivans, with tinted windows. A good way for
the family to get rear-ended...
People who take no notice of "lane ending,merge,or lane closed"
signs until the lane is gone, and try to squeeze in and cut off those with
the patience and forethought to change lanes at the appropriate time.
People driving around with their auxiluary lights on at night blinding
other drivers. When an oncoming car sees you at the stop sign and they
never turn on the turn indicator to let you know they plan to turn onto
the road you are coming off of.
People who don't proceed at a green left turn light, as if expecting
the oncoming cars to approach. This is especially annoying if you're the
5th or 6th car back, knowing that these green arrows don't last too long.
My biggest peeve is when a driver chooses to drive in the passing
lane and he maintains the same speed as the driver in the right lane -
for endless miles!!(grr)
People who drive in my blind spot. "What's a blind spot??" *smash*
Not stopping or pulling over when you hear a siren (ambulance or fire truck).
I wish some day it will happen that they need the service and service is
delayed because of idiots just like them that don't stop either.
Tailgating Those idiots who don't notice when you do use them properly,
and nearly cream you from behind, then cuss YOU out cause THEY wheren't
paying attention.
When you are driving and there are bikers in front of you; When
they turn around and see you, and just keep riding in the middle of the
road.
Turning does not have the right of way! Ok, you're sitting at an
intersection. The guy in the car across the street facing you is in the
turning lane to make a left turn. For some reason, people think that turning
left gives them the right of way, so they pull out in the middle of the
intersection to wait for all the thru cars to pass, then turn. Then, sometimes
they even turn after the light is red because by then they're stuck out
in the middle of the intersection and all of the other cars have to wait
for them to get out of the way.
When you start out on your long early morning commute...on a two
lane secondary road...and you get behind one of those new cars with the
flashing brake lights...uhg!!!
When people get in a long exact change lane on a tollway and wait
until they actually pull up to the basket to begin searching for their
change, instead of having it ready in the first place! Those "wizards"
on the highway who hop from lane to lane to lane (and then back again)
in stop-and-go traffic thinking they're actually getting somewhere doing
this. People whom merge onto the expressway at any speed lower than traffic
flow. (next car purchase you make, get the gas pedal option!)
People that pull over for emergency vehicles on the other side of
a divided road... (Read your damn drivers handbook!)
People who stop where there is no stop sign and wave you by. Kind
of scary, cause you don't know if they going to decide to go anyways.
People who stop at every corner like there is a stop sign there
Highway entrance
People who stop before joining the highway without ever moving up
ahead of the space to cautiously join the traffic When you wait at a four
way stop and one car cuts you off right before it is your turn..and then
proceeds to go down the street you are going down at 5 miles below the
speed limit.
People who come to a dead stop at the first "lane ending, merge
in 1500ft" and insist on immediately merging thereby blocking traffic and
bringing both lanes to a complete standstill. The rest of us use the warning
and the length of the lane provided to MERGE at a moving speed allowing
traffic to continue to flow, albeit, more slowly than it would with all
lanes open. Those who believe the word merge means "ram your car into the
cars in the other lane and they'll move over." If you wanted to be in this
lane, you should have gotten in it sooner. When some freak pulls out in
front of me making me slam on my brakes..I check the rear view mirror...no
cars for miles... couldn't you have waited for one more car to go by??????????????
Women that put their makeup on while driving to work. Get a clue:
DO IT BEFORE YOU LEAVE!!! I like it when they hit a pothole & lipstick
smears all over their face. Serves 'em right.

Answering the phone, only to be asked "Who is this?".
It is really nasty when somebody breathes into the phone when you're
talking to them!
When you lend somebody a pen/pencil and they chew on it and then
give it back. They might as well keep it after personalizing it!
The 6'6" movie-goer who picks the seat in front of me despite every
other seat's availability. When people are about to give you a number and
always say it's an 800 number before they tell it to you.
When people sit right next to you when you're trying to study and
chew gum or some crunchy candy right next to your ear, then ask if they're
bothering you
When someone calls you up and say "oh gosh...did I wake you up?"
and I always have to reply "no, I had to get up to answer the phone."
When people are talking to you and they STARE at your mouth, your
nose, your breasts, etc. INSTEAD of looking at YOU!!!! GOD, that's awful!!!
When people finish your sentences for you. and When people use their
fingers for quotation marks.
When you're in the grocery store and some NIMROD is standing right
in the middle of the aisle "chit-chatting" with someone else? And, here
you come, and they don't have the brains to get out of the way. Of course,
they aren't displaying much intelligence by standing there in the first
place... You have to say "excuse me" in order for them to move. When, in
reality I always want to add a few choice words as well. Say "Excuse me,
peeve." in a polite voice. When you ask your husband or mate to do something
and he/she says sure and when hours pass and it still hasn't been done
and you ask why they say they'll do and it still hasn't been done by the
time your ready for bed,, so you end up doing it yourself. [Maybe they're
annoyed by run-on sentences and are merely exacting revenge?] ;)
When your boyfriend/girlfriend tells you that you would never find
another person like them. You are breaking up with them because of what
they do or what they are like; you don't want nobody like them.
wrong numbers
People who hang up on you without apologizing after calling you
by accident.
When you answer the phone "this is [so and so's] office, and they
say "is this [so and so's] office?
People who are walking directly in front of you at a decent pace,
but then stop short all of a sudden to talk to someone and have the nerve
to look annoyed when you run into them at mach 10.
(Manners/lack thereof)
People who come barging through the door you just opened for your
own passge as if you are some sort of doorman or something.
When trying to take a test and EVERYONE in the class keeps coughing
or clearing their throat. Or when the person next to or behind me smacks
their gum. Close your mouth and shut up! when people chew their gum with
their mouths open like a cow when people chew their food with their mouths
open...i mean for god's sake, chew with your mouth closed...my best friend
sits behind me in health class, and while she eats her apple, she chews
in my ear. and when i ask her to please stop, she thinks i'm joking, which
just makes it worse... pinheads who can't figure out that there are people
sitting around you at the movie theater: SHUT YOUR STINKIN' PIEHOLES!!!
If you can't control your diarrhea of the mouth, then STAY HOME!!! I didn't
pay my $7 to listen to a bunch of amateur Siskels and Eberts give a running
commentary on what I'm perfectly capable of seeing with my own two eyes!
So SHADDAP!!! If it wasn't for jabberjaws like you, movies wouldn't have
to be so frickin' LOUD these days! Durn fool idjits!
Nose blowing at the table (gross!)
Right after you sit down in a nearly empty restaurant the most obnoxious
people sit next to you despite the fact that they had THE ENTIRE PLACE
available to them, and yes, they have either a screaming kid, are talking
about politics as loud as leaf blowers, or a couple having a petty arguement!!!
STAY HOME!!! Little teenage boys and their loud car stereos blaring out
irritating bilge that sounds a lot like bitching to some kind of drum beat!
Where's my slingshot?!?
Standing in line at the grocery store and the person behind me is
(A.) standing so close I can feel their breath on me, or (B.) not paying
attention to what they are doing with their shopping cart, which is ramming
into me. Apparently, this makes the line move faster for them.
(Won't you be my neighbor?)
People who will leave their huge, barking dog outside all day (preferably
in the A.M. hours) to bark for about 18 hours straight. Especially on the
weekends when it's sleep-in time.
Why do people with the loudest stereos ALWAYS have to listen to
the WORST music and drive up and down your street 5 times (still in the
A.M. hours)?
People who think that their beer gut/breasts is for the whole world
to see. (In the still un-named category we'll call logistics..)
When people stop and talk in the middle of a crowded hallway when
others need to pass, but they don't move. Walking down the hall way coming
at you are 3-4 people abreast, you need to get by, THEY are NOT going to
move!!!!! Then you get dirty looks because you had to squeeze by (and yes
I do say excuse me and nicely). It's like playing chicken.
(Tactics)
An answer to the lady who complained about other drivers' high beams
on in your rearview mirror and side mirrors. All you have to do to these
rather rude and selfish drivers is adjust your inside rearview mirror to
night setting and their lights will reflect in your mirror and bounce back
at them. Smile!! I love doing that. You can also adjust your side mirror
to do the same. Try that next time. You will get great satisfaction.
How about the bike lane line-tracing bike-riders? I can't figure
out, are they practicing for drawing class or for sobriety tests? Hmm.
The dirt-bike-riding 40-year old on the laneless freeway overpass.
"What is he getting ready for?"
People who kind of stand to the sides of a line and try to "merge"
in with it when no one is looking instead of going to the end of the line
and waiting like everyone else had to do!
The fellow that needs change from the offering plate.
When a politician puts signs up in every yard (sometimes two to
a yard) along a given street. As if we didn't see the first one!
Those little pieces of plastic and filling which they put under
meat when they package it. It becomes stuck to the bottom of the meat and
you practically need a crowbar to pry it loose! "Excuse me, I hate to interrupt,
but I'd like to complete my shopping without running your blockade." "Excuse
me, before you get out the pictures of the kids to share, could you move
your cart so I can get by? Thanks!" "Excuse me, but I have frozen foods
here, and I don't want them to melt before I get to the checkstand." and,
alternately, "Whoa, you've got some frozen foods defrosting there, maybe
you could continue your conversation after you check out?" "Excuse me,
but the shopping protocol is to pull your carts to one side offset from
each other so folks like me can pass without smacking your carts.......
thanks!" But usually I just say, "Hi... I'm here to do some shopping.....
d'ya mind if I get past your reunion?"
(office)
People who leave a 1/4 cup in the coffee pot so they dont have to
brew a pot!!! damn them all!!!
People who change the type of paper on the printer.... print what
they want then DON'T change it back!!! aaaarrrrrggghhhhh!!!! like i have
nothing better to do then clean-up after these jerks! or..... What about
the people who complain because their print job isn't printing like 2 SECONDS
after they send it...... so they send it again just as the first copy starts
to print..... take it and leave...... then you get to wait for yours while
their SECOND copy prints out!!!!
People who call you on the phone to ask you for a phone number and
when I say "sure it's 924-.." they immediately say "hold on let me get
a pen, oh ok" you did not know you were going to need one when you called
me ?????
When I call someone and the person answering the phone says their
usual greeting, I then ask to speak to whomever I am attempting to contact
and then the person answering the phone asks."May I say who is calling?"
I usually reply with, "Sure, go ahead." That usually elicits another repetition
of, "May I say who is calling?" To which I generally reply, "Well, you
have been able to talk so far, why should you ask my permission to tell
them who I am? Go ahead and tell them!" Many times this continues until
I want to drive over and choke the life out of them. All they need to do
is ask me who I am, not if they can tell someone who I am!

When you drive all the way out to the grocery store to get one thing,

When someone calls you at work, you're not there, so a colleague
will call out to you to tell you that your phone is ringing, and then wait
for you to run for it (and then miss it) when they could have answered
it and taken a Message

When people come to the drive up window and pick up all the change

they're so easy to PICK off when you repeat their order back twice, then
take their money and then they decide that you forgot something and insist

(stupidity/insensitivity)
I can't stand it when someone starts talking to you about something
and then doesn't finish the conversation and says "Oh, I don't want to
talk about it anymore, let's just forget it." Also, when someone says they
have to tell you something but it will have to wait till later. Just tell
me what you have to say when you can actually talk about it!

(hygiene)
Someone takes a bite of a chip or veggie and then dunks it back

A food server carries my glass with a thumb inside the rim.
A food preparer, careful to wear plastic gloves, scratch their head,
ear, etc., and then continue to prepare food. People come out of a public
restroom stall and leave without washing their hands. If there was ever
a time and a place, this is it. Especially at restaurants, when I know
that they are either going to cook the food, serve the food or eat the
food. people say that mold is okay to eat, because it's just penicillin
and THEY MEAN IT.
When youre using the bathroom and its totally empty, then someone
comes in and takes the stall RIGHT NEXT TO YOU! as if there werent 10 other

When i go to use the toilet and find that the gracious person using
the stall before me left the toilet seat WET!

When people leave hair on the soap after they take a shower or when
they do not rinse out the bathtub. Yuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When you have a fight with someone (however small the thing you
were fighting over might be) and then seconds later they act as if nothing
happened and you're still the best of friends. I'm sorry, but it takes
me more than 5 seconds to get over something!
How about when you say something to someone...like "Can you hand
me a pencil" and they say "What?"..and you KNOW they heard you!!!!!
