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

When people refuse to do searches. :mad:

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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!

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.
