Things that irk/annoy ya

Self-explanatory.

I find it annoying that all the kids these days, when wearing caps, leave the bill FLAT. I find that look stupid, personally. On a related note, leaving the stickers on the bills of the caps is just as idiotic. I don't want anyone to know what my head size is. (Oh, and mine? 7 1/2.)

Kids in general with their attitude * can't be helped though *, and their slang with "text-speak." ex. Hai guyz, waht R u doin? * What did the english language do to you to deserve such abuse? *
Another thing that irks me are kids acting like they belong to a gang. With their baggy pants, crooked hat, and wife-beater shirts. Being in a gang will only hurt you in the long term.

Political debates. Maybe being NT would help, but I just can't get over words that are loaded to carry propaganda more than information (ie., "entitlements", "austerity", "Obamacare", etc.). Don't get me wrong, I actually agree with some politicians on some issues (I'm not getting into a political debate here), but something about the language of political rhetoric just annoys me so badly. Maybe it's because dealing with complicated issues with pithy slogans seems dangerous on some level.

THINGS THAT ANNOY ME TODAY:

People who end words such as "cute" or "please" with a string of "e"s, i.e. cuteeeeeeeeeeeeeee pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
It reads as "cutey" and "pleasey" with an extended "E" sound at the end, and makes me want to be all axe-murdery rather than helpful.

-people smashing the bus shelter, especially when it's bad weather outside
-people who chew loudly
-people to burp and fart in front of others
-coins jingling
-crowded buses
-people who try to look a certain style too hard and it's obvious
-hyper, loud people
-loud people outside when I'm inside
-crowds
-people hogging seats on buses and in bus shelters
-cars that zoom across the road and are very loud, including motorcycles

Actually, everything that everyone else here said. Wrote, that is....
Public breast feeding. Use a pump and carry bottles.
Little girls dressed up as women. Encourages the creeps.
Women who don't wear bras who really, really need to.
Loud, profanity-filled conversations on cell phones.
VERY personal conversations on cell phones.
General lack of common courtesy.

I don't want to break the keyboard, so I will only post the biggest annoyances:
1: People who use the restroom and do not flush/clean up their "mess."
2: People who play Call of Duty (or other similar games) and AirSoft and think that qualifies them to be soldiers/experts in tactics and weaponry.
3: People who use some form of "sniper" in their user-names but are only keyborad warriors.
4: People who can't handle it when you prove them wrong.
5: People who feel that anyone who dares to differ with their opinions are racist, savage beasts.
6: Politicians (similar to the above, though the above specifically applies to their supporters).
7: Horrible drivers, who for some reason, do not know what a turn signal is or the concept of red lights/stop signs and who speed up and slow down while tailing you.
8: Dogs.
9: Certain noises.
10: Oversharers (people who post TMI about things that should only be known to themselves or their urologist/gynecologist).
11: Justin Bieber/Nikki Minaj/Lady GaGa/mindless pop musicians.
12: Talent shows (like that American Idol show).
13: Certain textures
14: People who speak in an "artificial" tone.
15: Stupid, overpriced kids' items like those infernal "Pillow Pets" things. Even the commercial was enough to make me want to tear off my head and throw it at my friend's television set (yes, I'm aware of the logical conundrum with that statement).

What is a Pillow Pet?

You seem too intelligent to willingly watch ANY commercial for some product that is redundant, annoying,or worthless.

Stupid people, they annoy me.

People who don't tip. I deliver pizza in my own car and get paid $4.60 an hour plus tips. If you don't tip me, I don't get paid.

Drunks

Drug addicts

Improper grammar. The English language has rules. Use them.

Nosy governments. The power to regulate is the power to destroy and some in government seem intent on doing just that.

Autism Speaks and their stupid commercials
Lady Gaga and other young pop stars
The profanity that people use when they're talking to each other
Pre-teen girls dressing sexy
Teenage boys and young men dressing like gangstas
Valley talk
Hillary Clinton and Jenny McCarthy
Planned Parenthood
People who want to wipe out autistics and other people with disabilities
Skinheads
The oversexualisation of today's world
Traditional, binary gender roles
Holocaust deniers
Genetic testing

The local mouthy, 1m60 tall, pedantic, christian-fundamentalistic, 20-something, materialistic, fake-glasses wearing hipster feminazi (& her mates) seen on the bus and on the street during rush hours in this country.

What I find annoying are guys walking around with their pants hanging halfway down their butts....

I was watching a show about weapons systems (and periodically making fun of the person on the show for mispronouncing Oerlikon and saying "cannons" instead of utilizing the correct plural form "cannon") while painting Warhammer models during commercials. This bizarre commercial featuring the atrocious voice of an artificially enthusiastic woman came on showing these hideous pillows that (I guess) look like animals and unfold into a pillow. Why the hell would I want to dish out $20---I mean $19.95 for a stupid pillow?! Needless to say, my friend and I spent about an hour mimicking the commercial (but exchanging the pillow for unconventional products like army tanks, pre-made suicide notes, rotten turtles in a can, and STD-filled syringes). I still need to finish those Arco Flagellants...

Oh god I see this everywhere in my town, and it irks me to no end.

People with smart phones who just become incredibly slow as they walk or just STOP in the middle of a busy walkway or sidewalk cuz they're so absorbed in what's on their phone. How hard is it to walk and text/talk at the same time? Those of us with plain, ordinary cell phones/no phones at all have things to do and places to be!!
