People who use the phrase "...you know..."


Example: "I was down at the store and, you know, just hanging out waiting for her."


If "I know" then don't waste my fucking time telling me.
 
When petrol prices go UP instead of DOWN.
When possessions magically disappear once you need it, then re-appear later.
Parents who try to act hip and be best mates with their kids instead of a parent.
When my cat decides to sleep on my pillow whilst I am using it!
Also my cat waking me up at 4am EVERY SINGLE DAY to be fed. Why that time?! Why?! She is impossible to avoid, she claws the carpet outside my door if I do not comply with her demands.
Animal cruelty
Dickheads who drive pimped out cars and drive like tools thinking they own the road
No toilet paper or paper towels in public bathrooms.
Public bathrooms.
When people do not respect personal space.
People who do not dress their age.
Incompetent taxi drivers.
People that come to this country and then don't make an effort to learn English!!!!
Ignorant & controlling people.
Noisy eating kills me inside.
When people don't give up trying to contact you when you are clearly busy/asleep/other.
I hate everything.:)

The War on drugs

Religious zealots

The deterioration of spelling and grammar and overall writing ability of the general public

people who refuse to use text or E-mail and call me on the phone, then complain that I never answer my phone.

Dropping something on the floor and having to look for it forever because it rolled to some impossibly remote location.

55 MPH speed limits on 3 lane interstate highways

Cashiers who can't properly ring up my fruits and vegetables, then continue entering the same wrong code or standing there with a blank look instead of asking someone for help

The fact that the "page 6" column in the New York Post is never on page 6.

People who lose a hand of poker in an unlucky manner and type in the chat box "Only on (fill in name of poker site where hand took place)"

Posts that are cluttered with ridiculous acronyms and abbreviations

People who constantly use “LOL” to call attention to their own unfunny and pointless remarks.

People who think that “LOL” should not only be used for every sentence, but should appear multiple times in the sentence.

Realizing that your shampoo bottle is empty only after getting in the shower and getting wet.

The media fascination with celebrities and their creation and use of vomit-inducing unfunny terms like “Brangelina” and “TomKat”

Pointless Facebook status updates

People who constantly say "That's what SHE said"

55 MPH speed limits on 3 lane interstate highways

I think I have run out of steam.
 
I have many but ill say the ones that have been bothering me recently:

Chewing with your mouth open
&
Chewing so loud its LIKE chewing with your mouth open!
 
When tv or radio commercials try and encourage you to be happy, healthy, etc. (for the Aussies, I think it's channel 9 that has the "you'd better smile..." advertisements)

People who try and show off by knowing all of the crazy terms for phobias.

People who show off by playing the synonym game with lesser-known words:
Redleader: That movie was confusing.
Annoying Friend: Yes, the ending...it was so abstruse.

People who take up space in public and then give you dirty looks when you try and get around them.

People who stand at an ATM after finished forever organizing their stuff, when they know a line is behind them.

People who hug and kiss each other on the cheek in practiced fashions when meeting up in public.

People that ask me if "the food is good? Do I like it?" a fourth of a second after I put the first bite into my mouth.

People that flip out if one eats foods at weird times of the day. For example, waffles for dinner.

People that flip out if I wear clothing that might not seem apropriate, given the current weather.

The sound of thongs/flip-flops slapping against someone's feet as the person walks.

Commercials for ring-tones.

Lame jokes about drugs in comedy movies.

How most people work 9-5 and most banks, post offices, shops, etc. are open 9-5 on weekdays. At least where I live.
 
^^people who do that at work and refuse to leave a vm OR email really piss ME off

i find it's those in the 50+ range. if you hate technology that much, retire! :X
 
If my landline is engaged don't ring my other phone, cos funnily enough, I'm on my landline!!!!
 
Winter break is over, and the undergrads are back on campus. Some of them and their cliques have some behaviors and idiosyncracies that draw ones attention in a bad way. Here are some examples
1)In the dining hall today, 2 loud, talkative females were sitting at the table nearest me. Each one kept saying the word "like" in every sentence and phrase. I dont' know why, but the more they said "like," the more it grated on my nerves. Eventually, it was fingernails on a chalkboard. I couldn't hear myself think. It was worse than hearing peopel say "you know" all the time. I won't be eating in that dining for a while.
2)Those nasty, puffy tan boots so many undergrad females wear on the outside of their pants.
3)Fixie Kids:(
I've had a fixed gear bike for several years now. I built it and started riding it before suburban kids discovered them and made them into a fad. Now that there are swarms of "Fixie Kids" doing tricks on their track bikes, I can't bear to ride mine.
 
I am experiencing this right now:

I can recall this one memory of talking to someone--I can remember EXACTLY what was said--but I cannot for the life of me remember who was there or where we were.

The scene in my head is just me with faceless people.

And it's also annoying because I know it really doesn't matter at all, but it will drive me crazy for awhile anyway.

This post is hilarious! I love it. (I was trying to think up an obscure synonym for "hilarious" to make a joke. But alas)

Although, I could have gone with "I tried to come up with an esoteric synonym for "hilarious..."

Sorry, I couldnt resist =D
 
ok, so the other day i was walking into my physical therapist's office. when i opened the door, an old lady with a walker was coming out, so of course i held the door for her...and her husband, who followed her out.

WHY WASN'T HE HOLDING THE DOOR FOR HER IN THE FIRST PLACE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD
 
thongs (flip flops for you americans) that make squishy noises. fucking hell.
people who try to get on train before you get off!
men who believe they are gods gift to women - usually ugly ones.
women who wear runners with their work clothes. i understand this slightly but its totally ugly.
when i need to call somebody and instantaneously discover run out of credit the moment i try to call them.
screaming, pooping, crying children. ARGH
people who are fake
people who type LiiK3 thIzz LOlzz x0x0x0
cravings are killing me
when people can't take a fucking joke
people who ring your phone CONTINUALLY and DONT STOP when you are clearly not answering, then bombard you with texts.
also ones who send you messages asking questions, when they know you have no credit.
and when you don't respond they send you an angry message.
goddamn teenagers.(most)
going to a bar/club/other and it's full of 16 year olds with fake ID's. shouldn't they be in bed?!

i think waffles for dinner is one of the best meals EVER!!!!!!!!!!

i have to add
people who sing along to songs (when the song isnt loud enough to overpower them)

i swear my brother does this EVERY time a song comes on that he knows
i want to just punch him in the face!
 
I hate it when people who don't use drugs themselves accuse me of being high when I'm stone cold sober. Just because I use drugs it doesn't mean I'm high all the bloody time!
 
^ ooooh agreed! that is one of my big ones.

It's so annoying when you are actually sober and people are like "are you high??" because they think they can tell, but whenever you are really fucked up around them they have no idea.
 
I hate when people who sit there getting wasted on alcohol get all judgmental about drugs and people who use them.

Seriously, what the fuck!? Are they intentionally being dense?

People who talk SO MUCH about drugs never having taken or been near ANY drugs themselves. I experience this in school daily. I think it's because they have the desire to try but suppress it due to fear, incompetence, or some other bullshit. Their desire therefore grows, and leads to clueless kids yelling "OMG R U HIGH?!?!" to each other in class or some shit..


Also people who can't eat right.


I could do this forever..
 
speaking of drug related ignorance:

i was just talking to someone about getting high on xanax and they said "uh, you can't get high on xanax...it's a DOWNER."

8o 8o 8o

All these years on heroin and I had to find out from someone who doesn't use drugs that it won't get me high!!
