what are some things that annoy you?

Yesterday they were scooping up all the extra snow outside and putting it into a dump truck. It's good that they removed the snow but all day and most of the night I could hear BEEP BEEP BEEP constantly. Yes I know it's to warn other people when they're backing up, but when you hear it non-stop while in your apartment it gets really into your brain, and after a while I wasn't sure if it was still really beeping or it was just in my head. I probably should have just worn my noise-canceling headphones. But they get too uncomfortable and pinch my head, plus I have trouble with what I do want to hear.

This is my thread? Don't remember posting this...ya know 8 years ago.

Well, let's see, parents who treat the toy section of a store like it's a babysitter and then don't tell the children to pick up the mess they made with the toys.

^ You are tinky2 and the OP from 2007 is tinky. So it's not your thread, technically. Any way, good thread. I just posted in a similar thread, which was also necroed from 2006. What's going on?

I'm annoyed by groups of people that walk slowly in front of me.

I am tinky. I just made this account because i can't get in to my tinky account.

I am annoyed today because I bought what I thought was a perfectly good avocado, only to find it was all weird and stringy.

That musical whistling that seems to emanate from some people's mobile phones occasionally - don't even know what it's for (something to do with texting?).

Also, Stephen Fry.

People who mispronounce foreign words.
Any form of amateurism.
People who don't keep their word.
People who get too close to me, especially from behind.
The constant and anti-social use of mobile phones, especially in public transport.
Ignorance in all its forms.

Oh God yes, I should have mentioned him (and most TV presenters)! They make my flesh creep.

Yeah that drives me crazy. There's something about going to a store that seems to make kids want to run around and yell and be hyper while bothering other shoppers, but then I remember I was like that when I was a kid, too. But back then it was still okay for mom to leave my brother and me alone in the car while she did her shopping.

And I was kind of going through all the threads looking for something new to talk about, even I know the older ones might be dated.

I really get annoyed when my wife plays the TV loud. There are times when I MUST leave the room. She also likes to play the TV in some kind of "movie-type" sound, which is ok for the movies--but not in a small living room.

People who don't remember something I told them yesterday.

Presenters who expect the audience to participate and then make fun of them when they don't.

People being too nitpicky and commenting on little mistakes people make.

Overuse of words like "nobody" and "everybody".

Stereotyping.

Paranoid people and their conspiracy theories. I was watching the evolutions/variations of popular brand name logos on YouTube, and there was a thumbnail that said virtually EVERY logo is pagan, and therefor evil. And they're not really telling you to eat their hamburgers or watch their network, no they're all telling you to have sex. Well, that sure hasn't worked on me, I must really be asexual. I'm really sick of it. Maybe I should sell tinfoil hats for a living, I'd make a fortune... except that one genius on YT said that's something the government made up to make people think they are safe, which is yet another conspiracy.

I am crying sad, sad tears for the human race.

The social "rule" that if someone makes a reference to a movie or show I haven't seen and therefor don't get, I'm supposed to lie and pretend I know all about it. But what if they start asking me all kinds of stuff about the show and I can't answer them?

Of course, if I make a reference to something that *they* aren't familiar with, it's perfectly okay for them to be puzzled because I only know about weird, useless, impractical Aspie things.

People who assume that all teenagers have the latest technology and that it makes you old-fashioned if you don't.

The phrase "mentally challenged" and people who lump all special needs people together in one group.

When people say negative things about religion.

People who think that certain types of music have more "soul" than others.

Bank Holidays - it's a Bank Holiday in the UK today.


Aaaaarrrrgggghh!

Solidarity - this Bank Holiday has spread all over the country. Tomorrow will be like 6 sundays all compressed inside each other.
