little things that bother you

Post Reply New Topic

I can't stand it when I'm, like, sitting down, for example, in a classroom. And I'm squeezed between two people. One to my right, one to my left. Generally, I can't stand it when people get too close to me. I can't even stand it when people talk to me. I never really know how to respond.

I have to add I can't stand places that have Wi-Fi, but NOT enough plugs. Or plugs in the most inconvenient of places. What's worse is right now I am trying to work on my novel with a loud band playing. My ears are hyper-sensitive to noise. This might not work for me. I need to get ear-plugs.

im not a big fan of crowds i usually shut myself away from the public, people staring at you like if you are a alien i am so happy dont get the buses anymore yay,been shy around people i dont even know like strangers out on the street

things that bug me

Those people that think that being beautiful is the be all and end all. (there is more to life then looks)
Those people that spend all their time tearing others down.
When people talk on their phones in public really loudly especially when it is about something private that no one wants to know about.
when people don't plan things properly and expect me to fix their "crisis".

when radio stations play the same songs over and over again.
the high amount of ads on tv.

That's a big one for me. I just love crawling around under tables doing yoga poses so I can plug my laptop in.

Stickers placed on items so that they either obscure important information on the package (ie. price, dosage, item weight) or are designed so they won't come off without a struggle off of the final product.

People who invite themselves over as if my time is in endless supply.

If I order something with a topping or ingredient that's considered a bit unusual or exotic, I hate it when the seller has to make a comment on the item that indicates that they would never consider eating it that way. Then don't and keep it to yourself! That's no way to encourage a sale.

I also hate it when people insist that all sushi is made with raw fish. Um, it's not.

I also hate it when people go on and on about people spending too much time indoors on the internet when many of those same people spend at least as much time indoors watching TV. If they don't, fine but if they do it seems pretty hypocritical.

What bugs me...
When people still start up the habit of smoking, when CLEARLY everyone knows in this day and age that those things kill! What the hell?!

Loud motorcycle engines. I work outside a lot of days at the supermarket, and when these come roaring in sans their mufflers, it is extremely painful.

When parents allow their children to openly direspect them, and the children are not disciliplined for it. I imagine a lot of these parents will wind up on Maury's talk show, saying their children rule them with their bad behavior.

Things that annoy me:

*Corporate jargon -

"we should be thinking 'outside the box'",
"we need to 'touch base'",
"just give me a 'ball park figure'",
"I came to give you a quick 'heads up'" etc.

*People who are constantly clearing their throat for no apparent reason apart from habit.

*People who fold over the page of a book to mark where they've read up to. Why can't they just use a bookmark instead of vandalising the page?

*People who leave the milk out to go warm instead of putting it back in the fridge.

*TV talent shows complete with staged rivalry between judges and the obligatory contestants with sob stories.

*'Modified' cars - modified being defined as a set of cheap alloy wheels, a loud exhaust and a sub-woofer added to a 10 year old, rusted, 1.0 litre engine car that has trouble starting on a winter's morning.

* Emoticons; In all forms.
* The habit of using chat-lingo in real life; as in saying ell-oh-ell instead of actually laughing out loud.
* If someone hangs up the phone after 4 rings or less.
* The fact that there are different mains voltagese throughout the world.
* That I almost never have to cough but make myself fake coughs just to seem "normal."

I could probably think of more.

Is there enough bandwidth for me to reply?

The cat chewing on my shoelaces.
