The "What Annoys You/What You Hate" thread

Some peoples lack of spatial awareness - standing in doorways or supermarket aisles blocking the whole thing. My wife is particularly guilty of this but I still love her.

I'll be back with more as they come to me.

I very, very, rarely watch anything live, it all gets recorded or through an on-demand service so I just skip the crap.

Then getting wrong off the wife after I've rattled their ankles with my trolley

I am annoyed by "important" people. We have a lot of important people in North Virginia

They are the ones who cut you off in traffic because clearly getting to their destination is way more important than yours

They are the ones who butt in line because their time is much more important than yours.

They are the ones who throw trash on the ground when the trash can is just a few steps away (or worse simply leave it for the unimportant people to clean up.

They are the ones who simply must answer their cell phone and talk loudly because their lives clearly take priority over yours. coughcoughmovietheaterscoughcough.

They are the ones walking down the street focused on their electronic device and expect others to get out of their way because unimportant people really need to recognize their responsibilities for getting out of the way of important people.

They are the ones being rude to service people who are just trying to do their job, because service people really should be able to recognize important people.

They are the ones who generally don't follow the rules (legal or social) because they are exceptional and rules are for the other person.

And they are the ones who whine the loudest when, after being caught violating the rules, have to accept consequences (legal or social).

I am getting sick and tired of important people.

They are seldom that important.

We call that "Center Of The Universe" syndrome.

I hate it when I'm polite to someone in the supermarket, and they don't return the favor. I'll want to go into a particular aisle, but two people together are coming down the main aisle, so I'll kindly stop and wait for them to go by. Their next move is to stop right between me and the aisle I wanted. They won't pick something off the shelf, but stop there and start talking to each other. It's like my job is to stand and wait for them to finish being rude.

As I am sure everyone's grandmother said

"It is nice to be important, but it is more important to be nice"

Society would be a lot better if we had more nice people.

Somehow being nice fell out of favour.

I wonder when this happened and more importantly, why it happened?

Sailor Steve · 01-01-13, 11:03 AM

Oh, I still have a very large share of 'nice' encounters - mutual apologies over being in each others' way and the like. The rude ones are annoying, for sure, but I meet lots of nice people when I'm out and about, and I try to be one as well.

Loud crunching, and wrappers in the movie theatre.

Some fat terd, chomping on the popcorn, or fiddling with plastic, or the loud noise of pouring milk duds out of that box.

Or jerk offs who feel a need to comment on everything that happens in the flick, The retard who sits next to my wife then elbows her the whole time, regardless of the fact there was space for a one seat buffer, he had to sit next to my wife, his body odor wafted to me 2 seats away.

People wonder why piracy is so rampant, because paying 12-15$ for a movie then not being able to hear it, because of people. Having to smell someone, or listen to the jibber jabbering of a group of rowdy people.

Ah, but one wonders whether you'll ever learn what the word "decorum" means.

I know that I'm a bad example of it

I hate it when you reach a certain age in your life, when one of the most important things you could ever wish for would be 8 hours of sleep without having to get up and use the bathroom! It gets worse when you have to go more then once too.

Yeah, getting old is so much fun!

I tell people I suffer from insomnia, but I never have any trouble getting to sleep. It's getting back to sleep that's the killer.
