At work: Emailing me, then calling me to make sure I got the email.

This is horrible. Even worse is emailing and then coming over to to see if you got it one minute after they sent it.
 
^^ Haha the lady who sits in the cubicle outside my office does this :D
My blackberry will signal that I've received an email (very audiably!) and when she hears it, she chimes up "Did you just get that email I sent you?" 8)
It doesn't bother me though, she's older and doesn't quite grasp the concepts of new technology.
 
lately it has annoyed me when people use the term 'handlebar mustache' but mean a fu manchu.

this is a handlebar:

People who leave their trash in your car. I don't understand what kind of logic people are operating under when they do this. I find bullshit in my car all the time, fast food bags, empy bottles, spare french fries, napkins, receipts, random wrappers. I find this extremely frustrating, because people continue to do this shit even when I make it clear I don't want any trash left in my car. I'm not ocd so I don't check when each individual gets out, so when everyone is gone I can't tell who left it.

It's gotten to the point where when food or beverage is being brought into my car, I have to look people straight in the eye and let them know I'm fucking serious. I hate to be so anal about it, but quit leaving you're goddamn rubbish in my car!!!:X:!

My partner does that too Fjones, all the time :)
I just giggle at him. He gets really fucking annoyed at himself but I just laugh and make him see the funny side of it and clean it up for him.
Hey, he might not learn but it provides me with entertainment ;) Because I see him put the glass down in a place of frequent thoroughfare, and I can see it happening before it actually occurs, then sure enough, *stumble/kick/spill/expletives* :D

Yeah, I usually end up laughing about it. I have spilled so many drinks into my keyboards over the years.

I do so many carelessly sill things. I'll put something in an obviously bad place, then trip over it or kick it over and get annoyed with myself. I'll be drinking a thick protein shake insert joke here if you wish) and put it down somewhere and end up kicking it over and getting it all over everything.

I always do this.... I don't know why I am so incapable of putting things in a good place!

Just this evening: I put this bean/vegchicken mush thing (which turned out to be disgusting so maybe it was god warning me) on the floor while I was getting something out of a cupboard. Five seconds later what do I do? Step in the fucking thing while wearing tights, now I have chicken bean stained black tights. Five minutes later I found some guacamole-salsa that was bad so put it on the counter to throw away, right on the edge. Turn around and grab the salt that's nearby and knock the shit on the ground. Bad guacamole-salsa spills all over the floor and on my purse and sweater. The fuck is wrong with me? 8)

Also, I put things in the stupidest fucking places and can never find them... like deciding it was a good idea to put my car keys in my roommate's bathroom drawer, or stick one hundred dollars in cash under my covers... that was fun to search for. Or, I'm super conscious about putting things in a good place-- like sticking my keys in the pocket of my gym bag and not just randomly throwing them in there-- but I never think that I would be smart enough to do that so I pull everything out of my gym bag to try and find them, once it's all on the floor I check in the pocket and there they are...
 
lol

...step in the fucking thing wearing tights....

I bet that is as pleasent as stepping in a wet rug/floor spot with socks on.


One day I ran off to work without my wallet. I just could not remember where I had put it/seen it last. I really thought I might have left it at the bar or some such nonsense.

Pulling into work, I suddenly recalled that I had returned home from last call and stuffed my wallet between the mattress and box spring at the head of my bed.

WTF?

:D
 
^^ I don't know how my keyboard is still kicking on to be honest, with all the alcoholic beverages that have been spilt on it over the years! 8o
 
So I go to a pizza place tonight, which has one register inside. As I am approaching the door, I see a woman and child coming from the other way, so I hold the door open for them before letting myself in. Then they go straight up the register and take forever! They didn't even thank me for holding the door. WHY???

I really want to make a nice looking sign and put it above my garbage and recycling that says:

"If you really need a written invitation HERE IT IS. THIS is where your trash/beer bottles go! They do not belong left on my kitchen table or counters, nor do they belong scattered all over my floor near my couches. Please have some fucking respect for other people and clean up after yourself mother fucker!!!
With much love, your gracious hostess <3"

Sorry, no sympathy here. Holding doors open for people is negative EV. They can open the door themselves. It's a DOOR. Why do we all hold doors for each other?

There is no way in hell I would chance allowing a mom and child the chance to cut me in line. Screw that.

But I do have a related Pet peeve. When I am at the supermarket and the line is 6 deep and I am in the middle. They open a new register, the the person in the BACK makes like The Road Runner and MEEP MEEP! Zooms to the front of that new line. WHAT THE FUCK? There are people ahead of you!

Also would it be so hard for the cashier to say, "I'll take the NEXT PERSON IN LINE over here?

God I fucking hate that. One time in spinning class, this child was having a difficult time adjusting her bike. Her mother was in another part of the room chatting with someone. I went over and helped her adjust her bike and everything, so she could sit properly and reach the pedals and the handles. Her mom comes over, just looks at me, doesnt even smile, and just starts talking to the child. The child doesnt even acknowledge my presence, smiles or anything. They both IGNORE me, and dont say thank you.

Some people just dont have any manners or decency.
 
1.) Personalized license plates

2.) People who dress their dogs up unnecessarily, or pretend it's colder than it really is as an excuse.

Yes, I really hate that as well. Or when you go into, for example, Wal-Mart at 3:00am and only one register is open (all of the scan-it-yourself lanes are closed) and someone's buying $300 of groceries right in front of you in line. And your items total maybe $5. And you have to just wait and wait and wait.....
