1. Is it that #$%^ing difficult to re-fill ice cube trays when you realize it's down to the last cube?

 

2. When I go through the drive-thru at fast food places late at night, say 12:00AM and ask for a dessert made with ice cream, their "ice cream machine is down". It happens EVERY time.

 

3. Infomercials. Especially that weird dude from the 80s that promotes the Gazelle Freestyle.

 

 

4. Poor people holding up lines at the convenience store with their "pick 3 auto-lotto"'s and such.

 

5. "Check Engine" lights that won't stop lighting up. We all know those don't mean anything, anyway. What a #$%^ing vague statement to make, too. "Check Engine". I had Midas "check my engine" one time, ran a diagnostics test and payed out the @ss and the guy said the computer didn't send back any codes, meaning my "check engine" was an error. After he was done, the check engine light was still on.

 

6. People talking in a different language in front of me. They must be talking about me if they're talking in a different language.

 

7. Small towns. Why do people live there?

 

8. People who gossip and talk negatively about other people too much; really, focus on yourself.

 

9. Vinyl Siding.

 

10. People that hog sidewalks and don't move to get out of your way when you're coming from the opposite direction. The trick is, stand directly parallel to them. They will have to budge at the last second.

 

 

 

People blocking alleys in OTR.  That's about it.

Guess you'll have to buy your coke and morphine somewhere else ;)

The "newer" pop off tops on soup cans with the pop can like tab.  I have cut my fingers on the can lid multiple times because of the force you have to use to get them loose.  Hopefully there is someone that feals my pain on this one, but I am doubting it.  It really wasn't that hard to use a can opener, and i have reverted back to it.

People that make a lot of noise when they chew gum. You sound like a fucking cow.

 

 

People that text or bbm or email you when you have just gone to sleep to just say "hey"

my biggest pet peeve is my cat.  he is 17 pounds, and always in a bad mood. 

People not responding to my phone calls or e-mails!

tourists that stop dead in their tracks in the middle of the sidewalk, especially at busy intersections. step off and stand next to the building wall if you need to gawk or figure out where you are -- arrgh!!!

 

walking two and three across on the sidewalk is another one, but in that case i don't mind busting thru the middle of those.  :whip:

6. People talking in a different language in front of me. They must be talking about me if they're talking in a different language.

 

Sadly, they're just saying the same old boring BS we say to each other in English. When my wife hangs out with her Polish friends it actually gives me an excuse to zone out and do my own thing. But then, I know enough Polish to know when they're talking about me.

I totally feel your pain on this.  I either cut my fingers on them as well, or the contents tend to spray all over by the time I get the lid off.

 

 

Biggest pet peeves? I'm an Admin at UrbanOhio.com - do the math!

 

People who come into my office asking for "one of those GSI maps." (or GPS, they seem to be interchangeable!)

When she's mad at you does she start screaming in Polish? LOL!

I sincerely hate when people put their hands/fingers on windows and glass doors.

Cats!

Social Conservatives!!

1) Chewing with your mouth open...drives me batsh!t crazy

2) Driving slow in the passing lane (you don't have to be going 100, just faster than the car in the lane to your right, damn your eyes!)

3) When I rode the rapid more...people looking over my shoulder to read the paper / magazine. Stop sullying my reading materials with your surreptitious glances. I know what you're doing and I'm going to swat you over the head with said reading material if you keep it up.

4) Also from when I travelled more for work: People who try to strike up a conversation with me when they see I have headphones on and/or trying to hide my reading material from the guy in #3. Seriously, these aren't hearing aids and the more you prattle on about how you think travelling is such a hoot, the more I'm going to crank up the volume and ignore you. No earphones / magazine, hey, let's chat all day long. Otherwise, me no likey the chit chat.

5) People who ate garlic just before their meeting with me. Hey, I like hummous too. I just don't like it second hand, you know what I mean?

I HATE THOSE THINGS! I FEEL YOUR PAIN!! Also how in the hell do you get the last part of the remaining seal to break without splashing the soup? Okay hold down the container and pull, then the soup on the lid splashes. Either way it makes a frikkin' mess.

2) Driving slow in the passing lane (you don't have to be going 100, just faster than the car in the lane to your right, damn your eyes!)

 

And if you are doing 100 and someone is doing 105? MOVE YOUR @SS! :whip:

No, she can hand me my ass in English quite well. When she starts in with the Polish, though, I know I'm in serious, serious trouble.

I thought I was the only one...

 

I have yet to get one of those open without it splashing out onto the counter

When you wave a car in to the street from say a gas station, store etc. and they don't give you a wave of thanks.

The incredible racket caused by the daily 3AM garbage pick-up from the restaurants half a block away from my apartment. Can't they wait four hours?

Yess!!! First thing I thought of when I found this thread. Since I moved from Jersey to PA, I deal with this ALL THE FREAKING TIME!!! I HATE when people do that. Then, when they do get out of the way, they don't use their TURN SIGNAL and then they move ever so slightly into the right lane. There have been so many times where I had to heavily restrain myself from using the horn and the Jersey salute, and there were times when I couldn't restrain enough...

 

Turn signals are another thing in this freaking state. It's like they don't even exist.

I could seriously write a book about PA drivers.

 

*No offense to anyone from PA, you probably understand because you all hate Jersey drivers. :-D

I agree.  A little courtesy goes a long way.

@ssholes who pull into driveways and then park their cars/trucks across the sidewalk. It drives me crazy. Beyond a momentary stop to pick up/ drop off somebody (and even that is of dubious necessity across the walk), there is absolutely, positively no excuse. We already have too many cars on the roads. Keep the d@mn things off the sidewalk. It's hard enough being a pedestrian in America.

Go to Ontario - the QEW could turn a nun into a homicidal maniac for that reason alone.

Can we name forumers?

 

;)

Can we name forumers?

 

;)

 

or moderators?  ;)

Name an Admin and win two months off :-D

(1) Delivery trucks, yes please park in the middle of the street in middle of a lane of traffic. I didn't really want to go anywhere and it would definitely take too long for you to pull ten feet forward and into the business/residential driveway.

 

(2) Stupid people, please stop walking right at the bottleneck. Being 6'5" 230 I enjoy going through you, it doesn't alter my momentum at all, but it sure alters yours.

 

(3) Drivers whom have been given the go ahead wave and hesitate again, and again, and again. I waved, you have three seconds to go, then I'm going.

 

(4) Customers at my work who read the menu outside the door for 10 minutes then come in and read for another 15 minutes, have 5,000 questions about everything on the menu, then decide to order just a salad. Thank you for making me recite the entire menu and its ingredient list from memory. Clearly I have no other customers that need any sort of assistance, I came to work today to entertain exclusively you!

 

(5) People who ceaselessly discuss politics.  I say outlaw political parties, that should give you my opinion.

 

(6) Self checkout machines at the grocery store. I do my shopping at odd hours, and I am always purchasing something age restricted. I could go through a cashier in 2 minutes or spend 20 minutes waiting for the box boy to come over and swipe his override card, if he hasn't

lost it yet.

 

(7) Asses who drive motorcycles around Lakewood at 3 am. Yes I hear you, if I had enough

piano wire I'd build traps for you. Beware.

 

I hate when someone takes some kind of food out of the refrigerator or cupboards, and instead of finishing it off, puts it back with a tiny bit left.  It's a total bait-and-switch when you're hungry. 

 

When I was growing up, my dad would always leave 1/10 of a bowl of ice cream in the carton and stuff like that.

– People who don't wash their hands when they use the restroom

– People who don't move out of the door on public transportation

– People who don't take off their shoes, when they enter your home

– Cheap clothes

– Non matching furnishings (clothing/garments).

– Short people    :-P

 

People who don't wash their hands when they use the restroom

 

I was thinking this.

 

People who don't take off their shoes, when they enter your home

 

I can't stand people who demand this; it is extremely intimidating/makes one feel vulnerable.

People who reappear just as you get used to the being gone!!!

HUSH!

– Short people    :-P

 

Hey now!!!!  :whip:  What's your beef with short people?

People who clip their f$&king nails on the train.

People who think that I want to listen to their music on public transportation/in my neighborhood and have their music loud enough so I can hear every word.

People who walk WAY too slow and box me in.

People who want to walk faster than me and "tailgate".

People who take up two seats on the train.

Litter.

 

Most of my pet peeves have to do with the subway, I think.

 

This is a great thread, by the way. Very cathartic.

– Short people    :-P

 

Hey now!!!!  :whip:  What's your beef with short people?

 

Nothing really but, I just left China and those vertically challenged people got on my damn nerves.

Blanket statements about the residents of billion-plus population countries.

.......oh and EuroTrash tourist who wear white socks and sandals!  :roll:

Blanket statements about the residents of billion-plus population countries.

let me tell you something, I had to bend over (no comments) and look down so many damn times to greet people, I had a sore back (no comments) and neck for a week.  Damn midgets!

I missed you too!

I just assumed you made someone angry and got a 30 day suspension!

 

My pet peeves are when people comment on the size of a infant boy or baby and say, "Wow, what a big boy."  "Look at how tall he is."  "Look at the size of his legs".  'He's sure is built like a linebacker". Ok, granted it may not be annoying for all of you, but that has been said of all our kids.  I am 5'7" 160 lbs (I guess you hate me MTS), and my wife is 4'11" probably 100 lbs (you would probably despise her and not even acknowledge her presense).  Our kids are not "big" at all.  In fact, since birth, they have always been below the 25% for weight and height which should be expected based on Mom and Dad.  But people still say it.  I have become quite an A$$ with them when they say it.  My mother in law always says, "they must be getting that hieght from their Grandpa".  They are not getting height from anywhere.  They are small, just like us.  Who cares, drop it.  It's really getting old.  Do you get an award for being tall...seriously.  Would they be better people if they were tall?  NO!!  Are people going to be dissappointed with them when their 5'7" and stop growing?  People go, why are you so against saying your kids are getting tall and growing into big boy, BECAUSE THEY AREN'T.  I told my mother in law the other day, I do not want kids that are nick-named Lurch.  That was mean, but sick of it.  Oh well, just wanted to rant.  Thanks for the opportunity UO.

 

Oh, I also told my MIL the other day that we are trying out for the second series of "Little People Big World".  Man I am a A$@.  Just sick of the comments.

A bit short-sighted of you!  :evil:

A bit short-sighted of you!   :evil:

What do you mean?

People go, why are you so against saying your kids are getting tall and growing into big boy, BECAUSE THEY AREN'T.

 

You never know. I have two half brothers, their dad is like 5'7 but one of my brothers is 6'3 or 6'4. My dad is 5'8 or 5'9 and I'm 6. It's easy to be taller than your parents.
