What do people do that annoys you?

Post Reply New Topic

These two are really annoying. I've gotten them too.

People who drive like maniacs or like slugs

People who laugh at their own (unfunny) jokes, laugh too loud or through their noses

Loud burping, gas passing and other bodily sounds

Whistling aimlessly to no tune in particular

Humming

On a more serious note, as others have mentioned:

People who don't take care of their animals

Wake up too early.

1): People that disrespect others for what their perceive as "Anti-Social, Rude, or otherwise abnormal behavior".
2): People that feel it's their duty to tell people to "discipline" their children .. especially if the children are simply acting like children.
3): Figurative language, metaphors, sarcasm, lying, saying "literally" when you don't mean it.
4): People assuming i should conform to social norms and do things that they perceive as "nice", "Saying sorry/thank you, saying hello to people, asking how they are, holding doors open for randoms, saying "excuse me".
5): People that ask me to "reach things" for them because i am very tall, or comment on my height. (About 6'5").
6): People that act "rude" because a cashier, or other workers are taking their time, and not rushing to get to them.
7): People complaining about parents "spoiling" their children.
8 Hypocritical Behavior.

This is what I could think of right now, or rather I would add way too much if I continued adding onto this.

Parents who think everyone should put up with their kids running around in non-playground area places screaming and playing, rather than expect them to teach their kids that not all the world is their playground

People who are too bubbly, or always negative

I'm tempted to give a long list or be flip and say "what DOESN'T annoy me about other people?" but I think mainly my irritations with others mainly fall under the broad category of lack of respect and lack of consideration.

Just a few examples:

<> Living in a city or neighborhood or anywhere where you have neighbors within earshot means you should be mindful and respectful of the peace. It's not OK to have loud parties or chaos, especially at night regardless of whether you like to do that, you "grew up that way" or any other reason.

<> You're in a restaurant. It's not OK to talk loudly so nobody can tune out your conversation even if they wanted to. I think conversations in restaurants should be level with the ambient volume level of the restaurant. Quiet restaurant? Talk in a low quiet voice, heck, just above a whisper. I certainly don't want YOU to overhear MY conversations.

<> I don't care if you're proud of your booming car stereo. I'm not impressed. Shame on you for shaking buildings, other cars, ribcages, etc.

I could go on and on, but again, lack of respect and lack of consideration for others around you. Those are the biggies for me.

look at me

People who behave in a cynical manner.

People driving down the street blaring their thug music for the whole world to hear

Parents who send their kids to daycare from dawn to dusk every day because they can't be bothered to take care of them themselves

People who get pets only to get rid of them when they get bored, get married, or have kids

People who always gotta be starting drama on the job

ladyelaine,

I agree with everything you said.

That loud blaring music with the heavy bass line makes my body feel weird.

I have to highlight these two. Sometimes saying sorry and thank you is important but I kinda agree with you. Thank you is probably the most overrated phrase. For instance they say you're supposed to write a thank you note after an interview or say thank you at the end of an interview. Thank you for what? You're probably not going to hire me anyway but I'm supposed to thank you when an interview means nothing without an offer. They even expect you to say thank you if you just ask your status on the job. I mean I do all that anyway but I just feel so fake because I'm just thinking "yes thank you for making me feel like I'm not good enough for you with these expectations of how to talk to you and answer your questions"
Sorry is another one because it seems like I have a huge history of apologizing for things that I shouldn't have to apologize for. While they don't always expect the words I'm sorry people make it seem like I always have to explain myself or feel bad for the stupidest things.
I had a customer about a month ago (I think?) who got mad at me for not saying excuse me when I opened the freezer door but she wasn't trying to get anything. She was literally just standing there talking to her family and all I was doing was just gonna grab it out of the freezer. I didn't hit her or anything. Then she walks away with her family telling them something like "why are people so rude? people need to learn how to talk to others" and then trailed off with some religious fundie crap that I don't even remember what it was anymore because it was just so stupid.
I was just like who pissed in her cereal?

People who are motivated by ill will towards others in all forms of behaviour, online and offline, are annoying..

Judgmentalism annoy me. People who see other people through those lenses....

When people choose to trust their own speculations more than facts, or they ignore the thought that every situation has more than one side to it or may be different then what it seems. Also when people don`t realize they are basing their opinion on their own or other`s speculations or judgmentalism and not on facts. Perhaps even shying away from the individuals who could have given them the facts. Judging and speculating for afar.

Or maybe I am not so annoyed but rather scared and sad. It makes you feel naked and exposed when people around you seems to be ready to judge and speculate more than being understanding and willing to learn.

Sometimes I even get the impression that because I don`t want to participate in this, it contributes to me falling on the outside in social circles.

I hate cruelty, bullying, and people not thinking about anyone but themselves. But more than anything else I hate LIARS. I can't stand to hear lies, they seem to bend reality and make everything confusing. I can't stand people telling lies.

People who say "no problem" instead of "you're welcome" in response to "thank you." Maybe I'm unusually old-fashioned for someone my age, but it just sounds flippant and dismissive.
