This would annoy me about anyone, but my dad does it ALL the time.

He will be sitting right by my mom and I and she and I will be have a conversation and say something like "Oh yeah did you hear Florida exploded today?" and a minute later my dad will be like "Oh, hey! Did you hear that Florida exploded today?" like he just came up with it on his own.

It's just he hears us say it subconsciously but thinks that it just popped in his head. It happens like 80x a day.

hahahaha Thats my mom. One day my brother finally asks her "what, are you a parrot?" I can't stand when people do that......
 
When mothers try to recommend what drugs to ask for in the delivery room so I can get "soooo high"

???

Thanks but I've done enough real drugs to try and be all fucked up for the most important day of my life
 
merchants on Ebay who charge exorbitant shipping fees, then when I don't leave them positive feedback, they get all defensive, saying "The extra fees go to shipping supplies and secure packaging."

What a crock of shit. They are charging an extra fee for something they don't even do (delivering the package). Shipping supplies are negligible and are part of the cost of doing business.
 
Baby-sitting drunk friends.

Ugh, I hate it. I am not a baby-sitter, going out and watching you get so wasted you can't stand up and are about to go home with some random guy is not my idea of a fun night.
 
I nanny for my mom's best friend and she has been getting on my nerves.

She will start discussing something that annoys her about one of us to the other, then must realize she is saying something she shouldn't because before we can talk to each other and share the info.

For example, she was telling me how my mom is too logical and has doomsday/hypochondriatic thinking and some other stuff, but then got this look on her face like "Uh oh, shouldn't have said that" and added how they are such good friends because even though they are different they accept each other and blah blah blah, PLUR.

Well, the minute she sees my mom after lunch she says "Cassandra and I were talking about you and how you're my best friend, blah, blah, blah, PLUR."


Sorry this makes little sense but I am fucking high as hell and sick.
 
I actually followed that. Your mom's best friend sounds like she needs to think before she speaks.
 
^ haha, you are GOOD, Fjones, sir.

I can barely understand what I wrote up there!


But, yeah, she really does because (and I'm not sure if I should have or not, but I was high and wasn't necessarily thinking great) I told my mom about what was really said and she got really upset and started crying :(
 
I am of the opinion that information is usually better than secrets. I don't think you did anything wrong.

On another note, another pet peeve of mine:

Sometimes people eat food that OBVIOUSLY requires washing their hands afterward, but they don't, and then they want to use my computer, video games, or touch anything that belongs to me.

I am talking about greasy french fries, onion rings, chicken fingers; chees-its and similar crackers/chips that leave that residue all over your fingers; or sugary things like glazed donuts, gooey chocolate, etc.

It boggles my mind that people eat these things and then think it is okay to touch my stuff without washing their hands.
 
Bar tenders who work at clubs that charge outrageous prices for a simple vodka and cranberry, who are also complete dicks, but still think they are entitled to a hefty tip. Last time I checked, tips were for providing me a service, and that tip is going to be based off how well your service is. If your service SUCKS, then fuck you.

O yeah :\ My friend was just complaining about this to me. She has a newborn baby only one month old and was saying how all these smokers (pot and cigarettes) and guys that work on their cars or in the garden all day want to come and hold the baby without washing their hands first. COME ON! She complained after her daughter's been hanging out with the husband/father the baby comes back to her reeking of cigarettes and motor oil. Have some respect!!
 
The fact that commercials are so fucking loud. I literally have to turn down or mute the tv almost every time a show goes to commercials. 8( Yeah, nothing is going to make me want to buy your product more than being totally annoyed at your advertising. :p
 
^^ Oh my goodness, I HATE that as well!!!
Does everyone mute the ads? What's the point of having them so loud then? 8)
 
I mute the ads, usually. But then sometimes I miss the beginning of the show.

Another pet peeve of mine is the generally stupid and obnoxious nature of advertisements.
 
Pet Peeve, auto edition:

People who ride their brake all the way through a right turn, with no car in front of them, then take 15 seconds to accelerate to the speed limit, taking up both lanes as they slowly move across the road into the left lane for no good reason. :X:X:X

People who drive 15+ MPH slower than traffic, in the middle lane, even as cars swerve around them, on both sides.

Do slow drivers not REALIZE they are slow drivers? Get the fuck out of the left or middle lane! Why are you impeding traffic!?

Cars who yield right of way for no good reason in a parking lot or intersection. YOU ARE NOT HELPING! All you are doing is confusing everyone else. They all think it is your turn to go, so they don't go because they are WAITING FOR YOU! All this does is cause everyone to make a bunch of false starts until someone whose turn it isn't decides to just gun it and go.

Drivers who slow down to 10 MPH under the limit because there is a cop monitoring traffic. I hope you get rear-ended.

Cars who merge onto the highway at 35 MPH then seem to get annoyed when you tailgate and pass them. HELLO!!??!! People on the highway are driving 70 MPH. You are a road hazard. Please find a new mode of transportation.

People who start braking 500 feet from the stoplight, then ride their brake all the way, decelerating at a rate that forces me to use my brakes unnecessarily. People: If you take your foot off the gas pedal, THE CAR WILL SLOW DOWN. You do not need to abruptly hit the brake anytime some car within a football field's distance applies his brake!

What grosses me out is when you use a public restroom and then see someone walk out without washing their hands... and then see them later and they're touching you or something you've touched :(

I was especially disturbed when I saw a waiter do that in a restaurant... 8o
 
Agreed. Unfortunately, I am a bit OCD about hand washing. I was them dozens of tiems a day. I wash them after I come in from outside, after using the bathroom, and before and after eating (and I eat about ten times a day).
