Things people do that annoy you

[PrettyBoy]

People who can't drive worth a damn. i.e. Michigan drivers.
People who are/act ghetto as hell.
Womanizing, irresponsible men. Young men/boys who wear their pants sagging; provocatively dressed women etc. Lazy people. That's pretty much it.

Haha, I am from NW Ohio, we always would say that the idiot drivers must have learned how to drive in Michigan. Michigan drivers probably say the same regarding Ohio drivers.

Can't stand people eating with their mouths open. Or talking with their mouths full of food. And then there are those who, even if they eat with their mouths closed, it's like they have microphones in their cheeks, they make so much noise eating.

OK, one more-those who can't use their utensils properly, like someone fisting their spoon, and they are not a toddler. Which reminds me- Jeffrey Steingarten on Iron Chef makes me nuts sometimes-fists his spoon, slurps, talks with his mouth full of food, and has even drooled as he was talking. Ick.

Let's just say my kids learned table manners at an early age. They are now afflicted with the same table issues, poor girls.

I'm late for everything

Well, ok.. I wouldn't say EVERYTHING.. I'm on time for work, interviews, important meetings, etc. Or.. if I'm meeting only one friend, I try to make sure I'm a few minutes early. However, if I'm meeting a bunch of people in an informal setting, I'm pretty much always late. I find myself rushing around more than I'd like, even in those situations when I'm on time. I think that has to do with not planning for anything in my life I just wing it.

Speaking of this... I can't stand when people bring full meals onto a plane. Well, I take that back.. it's ok, but not when it's some strong-smelling food that EVERYONE around clearly can't stand to deal with in a closed, confined space.

I've brought subs onto a plane before (I've traveled so much for work that there are definitely those times when you don't have time to stop and eat, so I understand).. However, I'll get something like turkey with lettuce and tomato... never strong-smelling meats, onions, strange spreads or strong cheeses.

Some people clearly don't think the way I do.

And speaking of planes... I hate when everyone stands up all at once the second the plane lands. Chill out. Take a seat. You're not going anywhere for a few minutes.

I'm going to throw Connecticut drivers in here. They're the WORST! There are actually signs on the highways pointing out that the left lane is for passing, but apparently no one reads them. A person will drive at 50 mph in that lane, with a huge line of cars behind them, and they'll never move over. Drives me CRAZY.

If you want to move quickly in CT, stay to the right.. and be prepared to weave in and out of traffic.

lol!!
I am laughing so hard at what's in bold. Hilarious! Yep, I hear ya. But my biggest issue with people bringing food into the movies is the noise it makes when they're opening the bag etc. It's just that when they start eating it, I can hear it, and that really bugs me. I just think it's really tacky.

Not to double post, but I forgot the declined credit/debit card one. I get impatient when I'm standing in line and there's someone in front of me pulling out a million credit/debit cards and each one keeps declining. I'm like, seriously? And then they go "Hm, that's weird, I know the money is in there." That's annoying because they're holding the line up and people have places they have to be.

Going along with the previous driving ports...it drives me crazy when people don't use their turning signals!! For me, I need to know the intentions of the drivers around me! I hate when drivers slow down to turn, don't use their signals, and turn...cause the entire time I'm thinking "what the hell are you slowing down for!"

Drivers here in Atlanta think that if they use their turning signal, that's giving them permission to get right infront of you and cut you off or make you slam on your brakes. That really pisses me off too!
