Let's try to keep it non-LIW related please!

I am really annoyed lately when people ask you a question the first time like they've already asked you 5 times..Do you know what i mean? I mean at least give me a chance to answer to or do what you want before you get testy with me!!!!!!!!

I'm also really annoyed about FH's job. They call him at ALL hours of the night. He has rotating night and weekend duty (and I have to deal with sleeping next to him with his beeper on), but that doens't even MATTER because they call him even when he's NOT on duty and make him work to fix whatever whether it's a saturday or 2am or what. last night he was supposed to come over, but then someone form the affiliate in texas called him at home with a probem..and I said 'what if you were already at my house' and he said 'they would have yelled at me for being unreachable' I had NO IDEA he was supposed to be on call 24/7. I HATE that. it really makes me SICK..I don't know why, but to does. I feel like they can invade our life at any moment, and he has no time when he's not working> Isn't being there 12+ hour a day good enough?

The third car running a light...I can see how the first one was close, I can kind of understand the second one, but the third and forth cars really piss me off.

Rude, aggressive drivers are the worst for me. It's not worth my life to get where I'm going two minutes earlier......

I live on the first floor of a 2-story apartment complex. PEOPLE THAT CRANK THEIR MUSIC WITHOUT REGARD FOR THEIR NEIGHBORS!!!!!

Back to the train...we can produce pills to make a man have an erection but we can't get the LIRR to keep the lights on all the time? I hate when I'm reading and the lights and air go on and off!!!! ARRRGGHHHH

to the Viagara reference

BUT you hit it on the head with the LIRR / Metro North (in my case) stuff... the flickering lights going on/off totally makes me crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even funnier is when the lights go off and the person next to me is still holding their paper up, pretending that they can actually still read.. do they have x-ray vision I dont know about ?

Yeah, I think that's a riot! What the heck are they reading..are they too lazy to put the paper down for a second. It's the most annoying thing.

Cell phones while driving and cell phones while I'm trying to relax when I'm getting a manicure!!!

and the lights went on and off for the whole ride home!!!! The conductor said that when they pick up speed that usually fixes the problem! Whhhhaaaaatttt! How fast do we have to be going before the lights stay on? Also they had the heat on. That's what my $300 buys me!

My pet peeve for the moment is the girl who sits next to me at work just starts telling stories randomly. Now I like to talk at work but sometimes I need to concentrate.And the other thiung she does is she'll just ask a question while I'm working and she doesn't adress me, so I don't know whether she's talking to me or the person on the other side of her and then she'll be like 'HELLO????' and I say 'Were you talking to me ?'

maybe it just happened a lot today so i am frustrated....come on....can you listen the first 5 times, is that asking too much......and hellooooooo do you really need to ask the date if it has been on the same place on the board for the two years you have had me????????

My biggest pet peeve is people who always have to have the final say on something. Very annoying.

Another is people who chew with their mouths open!!
