What Stupid Little Things Annoy You? (Vent Thread)

Original post by jvs77

I'm sure this has been done before, but lets have a thread on stupid things that really get to you!

Here's one for me that prompted this thread:

I Hate it when a picture on the internet says 'click to enlarge' you click on it, and a new window pops up with the picture that is the Same Size!!! It drives me nuts!!!

Here's my list:

pop ups on the internet
people who are ultra slow driving or just literally can't drive
people who are unprofessional

Michal, yes it would be so much easier if people would just use their signals on their car!

, if you are invited to someone's home for dinner Do NOT show up emptyhanded.

Also, people who are selfish and do not like to help others.

In the Jewish religion (in the Yiddish language) we call these people schnorrers. I can't stand them!

I have another one, people who sneeze and don't cover their mouths.

I have a story regarding people who shouldn't have kids.

There is this woman who comes into the computer lab where I work and she is always berating her 2 year old son. I am afraid she may also physically abuse him too, I am not sure. Its like she never wanted to have him. Then why did she?

LOL Karen. I guess I just feel that I am a nice person and just get upset that people can be so rude sometimes.

Hey, 99% of the things you mentioned I have to agree with! I was when I saw you posted, then posted, then posted AND posted again about things that annoy you.

When I saw some of the other posts, I realized some of the other things bother me too!

All of those things bother me. I specifically will not commute to the City b/c I CANNOT stand the train for all of the reasons stated here.

Another just happened yesterday. I was leaving Smithhaven Mall with my daughter. There's what...8 different doors to leave from...I hold the door open as my 2 year old is walking very slowly in front of me, as I grab the back of her hood. Along comes the space invader who, while my hand is on the door comes behind me and wails the door open even more, causing me to lose my balance and trip. And then has the nerve to say excuse me. THERE WAS NO ONE THERE YESTERDAY WHEN WE WERE THERE, NO ONE ELSE USING THE DOORS AND YOU HAD TO GET UP MY A$$?? I actually turned around and gave the dirtiest look. That drives me insane. I hate people in my space.

Or if your at the supermarket or little convenience store, about to pay and the person behind you HAS to put their stuff up there right in front of you.

Or at like CVS, you are putting your change in your wallet as quick as you can and the girl yells 'next' while your're still there and the space invader behind you HAS to race up.

People who talk on their cell in public places. In the supermarket especially. Can't you just tell the person you are shopping and will call them later?

People on their cell phones in the car. I am convinced they are in different worlds while on the phone. And they do the dumbest things. Hate em!

And there was this guy in the mall (the same day as the space invader) who comes up to me and my daughter and asks me where I get my hair done. So I tell him, and he goes on and on about a new salon he has opened that is giving 80% off, blah, blah, blah. After I told him I just got my hair cut, etc., he would not stop. I just got annoyed and walked away.

And one more. Ever go to RadioShack? Well there's one right around the corner from me. I went in to get something for my t.v. The kid behind the counter was relentless on having me get a cell phone through him after i told him 'I HAVE ONE'!!!!!! He would not stop. I actually told the manager that he should lay off, he's chasing people away. Literally, this guy will follow you around the store. I thought I was on Candid Camera or something.

I could go on!!!

1. Coworkers who you pass 5 times a day and never look at you or smile or say anything when you say 'hello' or 'good morning'.


2. Pop up ads.

3. The food store cashier who stands there
and watches as you pack the whole order. A little help would be nice!lol

2. When people say ' I'm Done'. People are 'finished', food is 'done'.




my elem school music teacher used to always say this!!!


grammar ones kill me...although on BBs I can take it...b/c people have typos...

but I can't stand when people use 'I' incorrectly...people seem to think that it should always be 'you and I' NO!!!

when it is the predicate it should be 'you and ME!!!!'

I depise people that do not cover their mouth when they cough. It's disgusting. I should not have to risk my health because you're too lazy to put your hand to your mouth.



By far my biggest pet peeve! Who are these people (to quote Seinfeld) that did not learn at the age of 5 to cover their mouths when they sneeze or cough?

The worst experience I've ever had with this was a woman who was walking towards me to get off the train. As she approches me, she sneezes and not only does not cover her face, but sprays everyone standing near her with snot! I think there must have been something wrong with her because she didn't even make a motion to wipe her face. I must have washed my hands and face 10 times when I got to work. And I stopped taking the subway and switched to the express bus over it!

I hate lots of things but some of the ones that come to mind right now are

People who don't buckle their children or hold them in their lap or let them sit in the front seat or people who let their kids stand in the car... PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD CANT HAVE KIDS.



thats not legal..
