Top Five Pet-Peeves/Annoying Occurrences

Re: Top Five Pet-Peeves/Annoying Occurrences

2. Work. I wanted to lump this into people, but I can't. It is a problem that stands on it's own. Everything from people on the sales floor, and coworkers, and silly high expectations. I understand the last one, but let's be realistic. I'm not super human. I can't find over 100 things in sets of shelves in an hour. That's silly. And I'm even capable of reading upsidedown and sideways pretty decently.

you could just quit and find a better job

Nah, find a better job, then quit!

Also, you wear a top hat to work? That's kind if interesting, haha. Don't think many work places are that relaxed to not mind wearing hates.

Lesse, top 5, huh?

1. Pretty much what Reincarnate said about clogging toilets actually, son of a bitch, ugh!

2. Drivers not putting on blinkers so I know they want to make a left hand turn when I'm approaching a red light so I can give a gap to them.

3. Messing up on stuff when I think it should be really simple.

4. Misaligned graphics and wonky font usage. (Only sometimes really, not really too analytical with it)

5. Having to wait for something more than the promised time that's greater than 10 minutes. (Someone tells me wait 5-10 minutes that becomes 1 hour later.)

Why not? I'm sure two people laughing together while speaking english in front of non english speaking friends would be pretty annoying.

I might consider that annoying, but I was talking about the contents of what Guidohunter said.
Rudeness is defined to be subjective, so you can't consider something as rude in all cultures.
You might have a culture where talking to eachother in your own language in front of others is completely accepted, for example.
In this case, outspokenly calling it rude could even be considered rude.

Actually, it is arrogant to generalise your own opinion to be an inherent property of all of human culture.
Writing such things while using formalised grammar and even ending with a sign could even be called pretentious.

Job market sucks and earnestly it's probably the best I can have for myself right now.

I wear my top hat like a boss. And I'm known for it

5. People shaking their legs when they sit. Even though I do it too, it's really annoying to see.

4. People who laugh as responses to logical arguments.

3. My fingers and how they constantly feel very foreign to my hands.

2. Being interrupted.. over and over when trying to tell a story to the point where you just fucking give up cuz nobody cares anyway.

1. Noise. All noise. Specifically gum chewing, any chewing actually.. pens clicking, walking in high heels, turning pages of magazines, writing on a chalk board, opening noisy bags, chips, biting nails, casual typing, snoring, literally everything. I wish I was deaf.

I once met someone who had a legit mental disorder that made it so they couldn't stop shaking their leg. I asked them to stop and he told me he would try without telling me he couldn't. I felt like shit the next day.

If you don't mind me asking, why do your fingers feel foreign from your hands?

Re: Top Five Pet-Peeves/Annoying Occurrences

1. People being passive aggressive.
2. People not being themselves to please others.
3. When my hair gets in my mouth when I'm trying to eat.
4. When you've flipped the pillow so many times, there is no more cool side to the pillow.
5. Getting put in groups with people you don't know and aren't willing to talk at all. lol

Re: Top Five Pet-Peeves/Annoying Occurrences

1. When people smoke. It makes me rage to no end. i Hate the smell, i hate the stupidity of the act itself and what lies behind it and it drives me completely nuts. Drug usage in general is very irritating to me. If they are people i know well i generally punch them in the face and stress how much of a dipshit they are. I don't even try to convey a point, i just feel the urge to shit on their faces. Dumbfucks.

2. When someone you are with stops to say hi to a friend and instead of briefly greeting them they start talking and at the same time ignoring you, leaving you to awkwardly wait. Worse when they don't introduce you.

3. Shallow sluts and girls who try hard when they are in fact nothing special at all. Applies to guys as well.

4. Crowds of people (depending on the crowd)

5. People who keep checking their cellphone while talking to you

Re: Top Five Pet-Peeves/Annoying Occurrences

The whole language thing is about exclusion.

If it's just a conversation between two people, then it's no big deal what language you use. It's more of a problem if you're hanging out in a group and suddenly 2+ people start talking in a different language.

You force the non-speaker to just stand there like an idiot. Because they don't know what you're saying, you've effectively forced them out of the conversation.

Re: Top Five Pet-Peeves/Annoying Occurrences

1. When you do someone several helpful favors but then when you ask him or her to help you with something there's always excuses.

2. People who have no accountability that try blaming bad decisions on someone else (blame games)

3. Words or policies without a clear definition. Ambiguity leads to a lot of exploitation.

4. Verbal tics. "Like, I totally um, like, love my boyfriend because um, like, he's so rad and hot, like"

5. Sneaky marketing techniques. For example, someone in front of me said something was $7 when it was really $8 ($7.99). Another popular one is very very small text in a hard-to-see place so companies don't get sued.

Re: Top Five Pet-Peeves/Annoying Occurrences

- washing dirty dishes. well mainly just touching dirty dishes, very gross

When I was living in Breda with roommates, I was close to moving out and this one roommate (huge douche) decided to not do his dishes at all for the last month or two (despite repeated (and eventually unpolite) requests to tell him to go do his fucking dishes), clogging the sinks with all of his unwashed plates and pans and what not. I managed for a while since I usually only needed to wash my utensils and was using plastic plates a lot since I was close to moving but after a while I really needed to do some washing and decided to just move all of his stuff elsewhere. Eventually I got to a pan that had some leftover rice of his in it soaked in water surrounded by green/greyish sludge and HOLY SHIT those were some of the most vile smells that ever penetrated my nose. I've never really had much trouble with bad smells but that made me heave. I left all of his shit standing in the kitchen and moved out the next day.

My brother's roommate is exactly the same way. He had a dish that had used when they first moved into the apartment and it hadn't been washed at all, and then it was covered in mold. He finally washed it. Most of the mold is gone. It smelled really bad. Stuff like that could pose a major health hazard. Also, now this guy is leaving empty pop cans all over his desk in his room and not doing anything about them. I get it that it's his bedroom, but still since he's living there, he should take some responsibility. Ironically, this guy is really good at his work (gets really good tips).
