Over-actors and tv sitcoms where the actors all talk the same?

Over-actors==== Raven! UGH if I had a friend who was THAT much of a spaz, I'd kill her.

Gilmore Girls=== they all talk the same Anyone ever notice that?

Plus, people who are always late. The world doesn't revolve around YOU!

1. Tardiness - I never understood the concept of being fashionably late to things. Why bother telling people something is going to start at so and so time if it isn't going to start then? I am usually prompt to everything and the idea of keeping someone waiting is not in my dictionary. And I don't like to be kept waiting either unless it were a very extenuating circumstance. Once in a while is ok but if tardiness is a constant habit that's really annoying. And if the guy is late on a first date..that's even more irksome.

2. Cell phones & pagers on alert mode in movies, theaters, class, church, etc. - There are reasons why these forms of technology have a silent mode. Use 'em! Gosh. We all know that at least one will go off no matter how many courtesy warnings are given out. And when I'm on a date with someone, if his cell goes off (unless he's on call or something) it gets to me, especially if we're not meeting up with his friends or something where he would need to have it on.

3. Interruptions while watching tv, movies, etc. - Just leave me in peace. Got questions about the movie or wondering what's going to happen next out loud? Just watch it and the answer will come to you! Or pay more attention. I can never watching anything in peace at home because my parents and/or brother will always be yapping in the background and I can't hear anything.

Ditto on these 3 for sure!

People who don't listen. I don't want to have to repeat myself over and over. It's not forgetfulness it's plain ignorance. If you don't care, don't keep asking me about it!!

Stupid people that stand right at the door of the subway during rush hour looking for somewhere to sit down!! Look people you're not going to find a seat so don't bother looking!! Just get on the car and move in because there are 50 million other people behind you waiting to get on!
Also the stupid people that won't let other passengers off!!

Aww hell...stupid people in general, no... rather ignorant people. Common sense...it works so well...let's all try to use it, shall we?

-Tardiness
-People who are college-age and their parents completely pay for everything. Unless you are on a full-ride, there is no reason you can't get a job like the rest of us. And don't say "my major is too hard." Because I did it, and several of my friends who were pre-med did it. You just have to manage your time wisely. And no, I'm not jealous. I'm glad my parents taught me responsibility. I'm doing pretty damn good for a 23 year old!
-Fake people.
-Clutter and disorganization. I like things to be neat and I have a tendancy to want to organize everything.

Really, I'm a nice person.

I'm just opinionated!

My #1 thing is when people touch my stuff without asking me. I hate it. I feel like the older brother on "Home Alone"..."Don't touch my stuff!"

And my #2 thing (but it's close)--when people call me multiple times a day for no reason whatsoever. If you really want to bug the living daylights out of me, do that. Aaaaarrrrgggghhh! Don't keep calling me just to be calling when I've already spoken to/seen you earlier, because I hate talking on the phone.

What about PMing you multiple times?

I don't have a problem with that, because I can choose to ignore them more easily than I can a screeching telephone.

*People who talk a long time or post long posts...that is boring...and then get mad at me for not paying attention. If it's entertaining I don't mind long talks or posts.

*People who talk about irrelevant stuff or mundane stuff like what kind of toothpaste they used when they brushed their teeth that morning.

*Old people who walk up to me while I'm eating lunch to tell me their life story.

*Strangers period telling their life stories.

*STRANGERS OR PEOPLE I JUST MET WHO WANTS TO KNOW MY LIFE STORY!

*When people ask me how do I FEEL about something, I'll tell you what I think, but NOT how I feel.

*When people WHO I BARELY KNOW wants to hug or kiss me. I'll settle for a handshake.

*Speaking of handshakes, as much as I am anti touchy feely, I give firm handshakes...I expect everyone else to do the same, don't shake my hand like a little girl.

*WHEN PEOPLE EXPECT FOR ME TO CHANGE THINGS ABOUT ME THAT I CANNOT!

People in customer service positions who are rude to you, without any reason whatsoever. I just chalk it up to the fact that they're miserable in their jobs and they take it out on the customers. But it's not my problem you work there, so be nice, I'm the customer!

Same goes for stupid irrate customers who want to yell at you because they're having a bad day...and you're just the poor person they saw first (actually happened to me and the guy finally appologized...he was way outta line).

HotDamnImAPhiMu · #29 10-05-2003, 03:43 PM

bad tippers. Tip me based on the service, please. And don't think I don't remember you next time you come in. I do. And I told your waiter what you left me last time.

guys who think a girl having a bad day is a "bitch"... and a flirtatious girl is a "slut."

girls who think every guy is prey. MY boyfriend. Mine.

people who act like my dog's going to attack. Keep it up and I'll TEACH her.

this probably annoys me more than anything on earth. there are either the one that never use the turn signal or the ones who turn it on five min. before making a turn. drives me up the wall.
