    [​IMG] Is there anything in life that just drives you up the wall? For example, the fact that as long as writing and walls both exist, there will be grafitti with the same crude drawings and stupid insults, complete with horrible spelling. Or when you walk into a public bathroom, and whoever was there before you didn't flush? (Lovely, isn't it?) So I ask you: What annoys you?

    (Note to reep: 'you' is not an acceptable answer.)

    Well, one thing that really buggs me is when people post topics that are in the wrong forum.

    Other than that would have to be my brother watching a movie in his room...since his subwoofers are right under the computer desk's chair. :rolling:

    This belongs where? Not in the Alley. Sorcerous? Maybe. I like it here. Anyhow, here goes:

    1: My Mother in law
    2: Anyone, atheist or religious, who assumes that other belief systems imply a weak mind. Weak will, I can go with, but not weak mind.
    3: Boy Bands
    4: Having to repeat myself over and over to my students
    5: Principals who have not been in an academic classroom for over 15 years -- who in fact have never TAUGHT an academic course, just Phys Ed. or Outdoor Ed. -- judging my performance.

    That's all for now ;)

    I'm not sure, but I don't think Kitrax meant that this post is in the wrong category, just answering the question.

    Another one I forgot: Those damn web pages that suddenly scream at you. Remember the online eye test?

    I have a couple. Ok, eight.

    1. People who don't use their turn signals.
    2. Hardcore liberals who dismiss conservatives as misguided jerks have nothing valid to say.
    3. Hardcore conservatives who dismiss liberals as misguided jerks have nothing valid to say.
    4. Counterproductive quasi-political statements, such as dumping out bottles of French wine that you've already paid for.
    5. Kelly Osbourne.
    6. Traffic in Houston (or anywhere, really). Pity me and my daily 40 mile commute each way.
    7. Pretentious Hollywood douchebags who refuse to believe they're anything other than the most important and compelling human being on earth. Ever.
    8. Reality TV.

    I think that's all, those this list is subject to change based on my mood...

    people who like a certain type of music just because other people like it and want to impress them and in the process shut their minds to any other type of music.

    people who are rebelling against the mainstream and think they are expressing their individuality but are in fact just conforming to another group: straightedgers, punks, skaters, goths, etc...

    people who can't hold their alcohol blow chunks all over your shoes =[

    Good heavens, where to begin?

    1) People who judge you by the automatic perception they reach by your age and/or status in life.
    2) People who make up stories about themselves just to impress others.
    3) Whoever the hell invented the idea that thin was the sexiest thing a woman could be.
    4) Pools.
    5) Customers.
    6) Jerky people who are jerky for absolutely no good reason. Jerks.
    7) Would saying 'my ex-husband' be too cliche?
    8) I'm going to second Kelly Osbourne. As well as her brother.
    9) And hell, might as well throw Jennifer Lopez in there as well.
    10) My stupid shirt that keeps coming unraveled.
    11) Knee-jerk reactionists.

    Well, here we go:

    1. People who try to cut in front of me while driving.
    2. Grocery checkers who feel they have to discuss their life's story with every customer in line -- and you're standing about 10 back.
    3. Having to hold the hem of my long coat up when going up stairs.
    4. Ordering food in a drive-thru, only to get home and discover you have the wrong order.
    5. Ordering a burger and fries in a drive-thru and when you sit down to eat it you discover they forgot to include ketchup for the fries (that bugs the crap out of me)
    6. Ordering food at a drive-thru with the outdoor board not working properly -- you can't hear them and they can't hear you ....and you have to repeat everything over and over. Grrr. (And, yes, I go through a lot of drive-thrus) :D
    7. Getting white cat hair (my little angel's) on my black pants (one of my most favorite colors.)
    8. Yappy dogs (in the apartment below me) -- drives me nuts.

    Well ...

    1) Staff Supervisors who talk it big, "Like I said, it doesn't take much to do this job", and yet are always sitting on their a**** and making the rest of the staff do all the work.

    2) Managers/Bosses who wilfully misinterpret "five days a week" into "he wants to be here in this menial labour job more than ten hours a day six days a week non-stop while everybody else gets five days a week and I get to go home at noon everyday." I've had this done to me a couple of times in the past, and it became a mystery why I blew a fuse.

    3) People who regard the world as their own personal stomping grounds, made just for them.

    4) People who take competition to all new lows. I like playing chess, and certainly being competitive has its place. One game, after I made a move, this guy says, "Come on, you're supposed to be an artist, we've seen this before." which equals, "Make bad and passive moves so that I can win the game and claim all the glory." He said that even as he made the same kind of move. So I made another move, of the same type. His response, "Oh come on!! Whatever! That's so f****** lame!!!" Screaming at the top of his lungs. What made this worse was that I didn't even want to play to begin with, but caved in to his insistence. So I ended up losing, and afterwards ... well, that's between me and him. (didn't escalate into physical violence, I can say that much).

    5) Waiting in a restaraunt for over an hour, and watching people who came in a half hour after me get their food before me.

    6) Double standards. If two people do the exact same thing, each merits the same response. If one person is praised for being nice and kind, while another gets called an f****** a****** for it, well ...

    7) Eminem.

    That's all I can think of, for now.

    1. The people trying to put me into the same box as everyone else
    2. the same people restricting my computer access
    3. Mauling of ANY language
    4. stuck-up people
    5. the zipper of one of my favourite pairs of pants that has a nasty habit of getting unzipped all the time

    I can add more in the future :D

    (Yes, I dislike people...)

    Many of the common features in human nature that I won't get to in this limited form of mere writing, here.

    Injustice. Intolerance. Realism in general, when it gets to the less appealing facts. Sensible, eh?
