What's your biggest annoyance?
 
What (or who LOL) really IRKS you?

Dionysus 06-01-2004 10:44 AM

When people refuse to do searches. :mad:

There's probably at least 10 pet peeve related threads. :o

Kevin 06-01-2004 10:46 AM

When people post complaining about people who don't do searches..

I mean, if there are two threads about the same thing, has a crime been committed?

I agree! And I have to add... people who get all bent out of shape if a thread is "hijacked." I mean, HELLO, when you're having a real-life conversation, sometimes you get sidetracked, or the subject changes slightly because something that was said reminds you of something else! It's not the end of the world... but there are people who act like it is.

Lady Pi Phi 06-01-2004 11:30 AM

People who ALWAYS have to have the last word.

I think interruptions, changing subjects, and "hijacks" are one of the rudest things people can do in conversations. When you do that that, you take the floor from the person who started the thread/convo AND the people who are interested in the original topic. I understand that going on tangents are a natural thing, but if you do it over and over, especially when people call it to your attention, I think it's a sign of disrespect.

ETA: I think that the topic starter should pay attention to the "audience". It's nice to take others into consideration and switch topics if everyone acts bored. I have no problem if someone changes the subject if one person talks about brands of toothpaste for 20 minutes. :D

Lady Pi Phi 06-01-2004 11:48 AM

I already posted but I have another.

People who wear white sports socks with black dress pants and black dress shoes. No people that's just not right!

Sister Havana 06-01-2004 11:51 AM

People who don't use turn signals. :mad:

Perhaps I should have been more specific. I meant that I see nothing wrong with it if the "hijack" actually has something to do with the topic at hand.

In real life, I do really get irritated with interruptions, mostly because I'm a quiet person and I'm not good at jumping in for my moment in the spotlight. I suppose that on a message board, I feel that at least you can go right back to the original topic if you have something to say about it. In a real-life conversation, it's a little harder to do that.

And Sister Havana's annoyance reminded me... I hate it when people leave their turn signals on forever.

cutiepatootie 06-01-2004 01:09 PM

Oh i have one................i find it annoying when you have your own opinion on here and state it and certain ppl flame you for it!


and ppl who are late for everything and those who do not use turn signals

sigtau305 06-01-2004 01:22 PM

People who gets pissed off for no reason if someone makes a mistake.

winneythepooh7 06-01-2004 01:55 PM

Livery cab drivers. One just pissed me off when I went to get lunch. He cut me off then when I blared my horn at him he started playing the "let me drive fast then stop then drive fast again" game.

BobbyTheDon 06-01-2004 02:44 PM

i hate it when people go crazy or are drama queens. i always try to avoid those people. and when i can't, i offer them a dooby and they usually calm down.

WCUgirl 06-01-2004 03:05 PM

Yuppie businessmen who cut in the sub line during lunch hour.

People who drive slow, then speed up as you try to pass them.

People who drive really really fast, cut you off, then slow down to about 10 mph.

People who don't merge until the last possible minute, having to cut you off.

smiley21 06-01-2004 03:49 PM

bad drivers. now i know that i am not the world's most perfect driver. but i hate when people drive like they got their license out of a crackerjack box.

Lady Pi Phi 06-01-2004 04:06 PM

I have another.

People's whose "horses" are waaaaaaaay to high for them.

swissmiss04 06-01-2004 06:18 PM

Irresponsibility. Some of my co-workers are terrible about shafting their responsibilities and it can have some pretty nasty consequences for people who take over after their shift is over. Also, having issues w/ a certain family member who sees nothing wrong w/ quitting college and mooching off Daddy for the rest of her natural life. :rolleyes: What ever happen to a strong work ethic and being self sufficient?!

Horrible spelling and bad grammar.

People who crack their knuckles... it freaks me out

People who speak before they research, or try to act like they know something they really have no clue about

People who wear brown and black or navy and black together

I live in NYC!
I am not a student anymore.
I have red hair!

It takes a lot to annoy me since I am usually pretty patient. People who go out of their way to be rude or mean annoy me.

aurora_borealis 06-02-2004 12:14 AM

People who agree to something, can't follow through with it, then completely disregard it. Shows a real lack of integrity. If you're not going to follow the rules, why bother?

People with nasty feet who take their shoes off in class

Refusing to hear the message because of the messenger.

NetSpeak, URn0t kewl or rokzor my sokzor.

Not being able to admit when you've made a mistake, and being adult enough to move past it.

Cheesy cell 'phone rings in class, you're not as important as you think you are.

Making the rest of the world suffer due to your: low self esteem, "inadequecies", Napoleon Complex, impotence, or general egoism. Doesn't matter how loud you are, how much attention you want, or what a braggart you are. None of us care! Go find people who will pay attention to your temper tantrums, because it isn't tolerated.

The continual spelling error of intelligence, no comment.

This made me remember...when I was little I used to sit with my dad on the couch, usually down by his feet. He used to sit there and crack his toes and it terrified me! (I thought his toes would break) To this day hearing someone crack something makes me shiver, even if I'm cracking my own back or something.

People who join yahoogroups and then use them to solicit donations. Please don't.

Rudey 06-02-2004 05:41 PM

Losers in Life...the guys who work as club promoters after college and hands out fliers, the girls who are now bartenders, the dumb folk, poor people, and moderate income people.

I totally agree. I also find this goes on so much in listservs. I belong to a bunch in yahoogroups for social work. For people who are supposed to be social-worky there are some real nasty people in those listservs. I feel bad for the clients they are dealing with:(

The best shoe shine I've ever had was in Hartford, CT. He spent frigging 15 minutes doing this with at least 5 different things he put on there. I didn't like the guy but I thought he was a great shoe shiner.
