People who don’t use their turn signals. These are the same people that probably sit around wondering how accidents happen.
People who insist on riding in my blind spot, even when I speed up or slow down. What the hell? Why would you do that?
People who leave the high chair and trash at a table in a seat-yourself & bus-your-own-table restaurant, simply because they have kids. Having kids doesn’t give you an excuse to be a lazy slob. Teach your kids right by showing them the importance of CLEANING UP AFTER YOURSELF you lazy wench (can you tell that I just witnessed this today?).
Fine print. It gets you every time.
People who get their panties in a wad because I don’t respond within four seconds of being contacted. Life? Yes, I have one!
Cafes that offer wifi and encourage its customers to bring their laptops to work or play on, yet have an average of one power outlet per every six tables. Yeah… that’s going to go over real well, particularly during the lunch and dinner rushes (why do you think I go to Panera Bread early in the morning? To stake out an outlet-containing-table, of course!).
Eleven month old laptop batteries that die off at a 41% charge, causing you to lose your work since your computer unexpectedly shuts off (note: that’s shut off, not shut down).
People who wear tank tops and flip-flops in 50° weather. You look stupid.
People who get free stuff but still aren’t satisfied. Emphasis on free. Take it and be happy, or go pound sand.
My mother. If she spent half the time cleaning that she does making excuses for why she doesn’t, her house would be cleaner than mine (and that is seriously saying something. Ask Dan — I am a total, slightly-obsessed clean & organization freak).
Printers that randomly up and die (case in point: my five year old HP Photosmart 475 and my brother’s Kodak EasyShare Printer Dock Plus).
Gaining five pounds in a week, five months after having gastric bypass surgery. I consume in a week what a lot of people consume in a day, so would someone please explain how a few hundred calories per day, every day, adds five pounds to my ass?
Soccer moms who pull out in front of you in a parking lot, then hit the brakes right in front of a grocery store, throw on their reverse lights, sit there until they realize that the person behind them isn’t able to move since they, you know UNEXPECTEDLY JUMPED OUT IN FRONT OF THEM AND HIT THE BRAKES, then put on their hazards and refuse to move.
I’m guilty of the flip flops and tank in 50° weather. But I get really hot, really easy, and I always have :P.
lmao that list is soo funny
All totally viable annoyances! How about those people that drive with their blinker on FOR MILES and never change lanes or turn!
Oh the blinker thing drives me nuts! It’s on your car, you paid for it, use it!
I’m with you on everything! Other drivers totally annoy me….no wonder there is so much road rage!
The scale is my biggest pet peeve….I do and eat the same things everyday. If that number creeps up, I have a bad day.
I get what you mean about the power outlet thing. Most of the Starbucks near me, or even in the cities near me only have one or 2 power sockets in the facility, yet they have signs up saying that they are a wi-fi hotspot. It’s really only conveniant for mobile users.
AMEN to the Panera plug problem. I hate hate hate that!! It’s why I go early in the morning too.
As for the flip flops & tank tops, my husband wears shorts and flip flops immediately after it rises past 50 degrees. He finds that normal weather since he’s used to playing soccer in it.
I don’t break out the flip flops till its AT LEAST 70.
I agree with almost all of these. Oh, pet peeves. Grr.
now that you’re starting to exercise more, you shouldn’t be upset if you gain weight. Remember, muscle weighs more than fat. Looking fit and healthy is more important than the number on the scale.
I agree with the poster ahead of me — you’re prolly biking more and doing more activities cuz the weather’s nicer, and muscle will make you heavier. I’d say it’s inches that matter most than the actual pounds you lose.
Like, I weigh 118lbs but I used to weigh 110 5 months ago. I’m the same exact size, just I’m more tone ’cause I have a workout regime.
Uhg, people who make messes at restaurants and leave them, period, make me angry. I once saw a woman give her 18 month old ( approx age) a bowl of rice to play with so he would shut up and she could keep chit chatting with her lunch companion. That kid threw rice EVERYWHERE. When done talking/eating they blithely got up, picked up the kid, shook him off and walked out. I was so disgusted.
Another time I saw people walk out after their school-aged kid had been throwing handfuls of saucy pasta on the (carpeted) floor.
When I clean up after kids I’m told, ‘No! It’s their job!’ Respect is everyone’s job.
The blinker is my biggest. I get so pissed when people don’t use them. My sister is guilty of it and I yell at her every time she doesn’t signal. Drives me insane!
