Brig Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 It always makes me growl when I try to pull the foil seal off of a bottle or something, only to have the pull-tab tear off in my fingers while the seal stays firmly in place.

Agreed! Or when you open a can soup and they all have that nifty ring top now and you have the can a quarter of the way open and the tab breaks.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/Dara286/trident01-11.png If you got a dream chase it, cause a dream won't chase you back...(Cody Johnson Till you Can't)

Hester Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Roofers who insist on shouting to each other, not caring that they're bothering all their client's neighbours with their racket. Seriously, shut the eff up! You're standing right outside my window! Telemarketers who call [desptie the fact your number's on the no-call registry] when you happen to be waiting for an important call from your family, making you run for the phone from the bathroom, and then they hang up before you answer, forcing you to use *69 in case it was the important call you were waiting for. I hope you heard me swearing at you over the frickin' dial tone! (I'm sure the roofers next door heard me.)

Red-Handed Jill Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Heh. Has anyone here seen "Dead Like Me"? This section is priceless: Rube: [to a hurried woman who sees an acquaintance in line at the post office and moves in line next to her] I have a question for you... is everyone in this line an a$$hole? Woman in Post Office: Excuse me? Rube: Is everyone you just cut in front of an a$$hole? Woman in Post Office: No. Rube: So it's just you then? Woman in Post Office: I have children in the car. Rube: I have a cake in the oven. [pointing] Rube: He's got three minutes left on the meter. And she's got a lunch meeting. We all have a finite amount of time. Now get in the back of the line. And don't use your children like that - it's shameful. [Everyone in line applauds.]
Rogue Mermaid Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 (edited) This is going to make me sound like a grouchy old woman at the ripe age of 30 . (I am by no means calling 30 old, that would be obnoxious, and worthy of a pet peeve of it's own.) Snarky teenagers/college kids annoy me. I was in the self checkout line at the grocery store ringing myself up when some college kids got behind me. I had items that I had to enter codes in and I guess they decided I was taking too long. After waiting less than 30 seconds for me to finish up, they snorted, rolled their eyes at me and got in another line. It was so nice to finish up 30 seconds later and walk past the two of them stuck in their line. They had to have a clerk help them use the self check out. Edited March 30, 2009 by Rogue Mermaid

JohnnyTarr Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 My wife bounces her whole leg when we play board games. The dogs barking all the d*mn time especially at 4 am when my Mother-in-law's alarm goes off. Git up of your asses, set up those glasses I'm drinking this place dry.
Quartermaster James Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 Petty annoyance: this damnable sore throat/cough that just won't go away!
angelgal918 Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 This may be my greatest peeve of all! I hate it when I am driving in the left lane, already going 5-10 mph over the speed limit, and someone (usually a male barely into his 20s) comes up from behind me at over 80 mph, flashes his lights, expecting me to either 1: increase my speed to match his, and thereby increasing my culpability in breaking the speed limit) or 2: get into the right lane, so he doesn't have to inconvenience himself by obeying the law and prevailing speed of traffic. I would love to be able to talk to him, to hear his argument for my breaking the law so he can drive the speed he feels like driving Aye Aye to that one! I had a guy in a corvette pulling to the left to flash his highbeams in my side mirror! What a jerk! Left lane does not mean "however the heck fast I wanna go". If you're gonna swing, swing for the fences...if you're going after Jaws, bring along the tartar sauce.
Rogue Mermaid Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 Hangovers. Not the ones where you are in bed all day trying to keep the contents of your stomach in order, those are major annoyances. I'm talking about the little ones that you just are a little headachey and a little nauseous. They are just annoying to put a damper on your day and keep you from drinking agian for a few days.

Silkie McDonough Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Forgetin' what I just walked out to the shop to measure an' only 'memberin half o' it a minute or so later!I to spend more time thinking of the here after these days. Walk into the room and wonder "What am I here after"I find infomercials annoying. Even if I like what they are selling ...I hate the format ...what am I stupid? ...don't tell me that the "interview" is not scripted. I don't believe that I will become a size 6 when I weare that and I dont' clean with what I have what makes you think I will clean with that new product?
Ransom Posted April 15, 2009 Author Posted April 15, 2009 People who interrupt you when your talking to someone, or who cut you off in mid-sentence when you're talking to them, so they can talk. I have a friend who does this all the time. I'll start to say something, and they barge right over me. I've even tested this person by continuing to go on with what I was trying to say, and they will just keep talking over the top of me. Obviously, this person prefers the sound of their own voice, to any real conversation. To me, it's just rude. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...
