Life's Little Annoyances

[kaijinscendre]

Alternative Title: First World Problems

What are some of those little things that annoy the hell out of you?

I hate when people leave drawers or cabinets slightly open. And my family is alwayssss leaving them slightly open (it looks like a lazy poltergeist is trying to scare me) and I have to go behind them and close them.

I also hate when you get to the last french fries in a bag (the kind you cook at home) and it is just a bunch of tiny fry parts (I eat waffle fries). :|

I hate people that drive in the passing lane when they're not passing anyone.

My roommate listening to music really loudly without headphones, knocking on my door so loudly that I get a huge adrenaline spike every time (low startle threshold), and making messes and then complaining about mine.

I mean all of those things are annoying but right now it's basically only my roommate doing them.

I also hate being in the shower and running out of hot water. :

[ill_omened]

Every singlle time someone says that's just my opinion/I'm not willing to debate this.

Fuck you.

Re: Life's Little Annoyances

[yield]

when someone takes out the trash but doesn't put a new bag in after. and you always seem to find out when you have some gross, wet, messy thing you need to throw away RIGHT THEN but oh, look. no bag :|

or when someone simply sits a new toilet paper roll on the old one, instead of replacing it. it literally takes seconds and you've got nowhere else to go while you are peeing damn it.

When people don't stand to the right and walk to the left on escalators.
Related: when people don't walk on the right side of sidewalks.

(I work downtown in a big city, and I'm usually walking the opposite direction of traffic. People will still walk in the small one-person lane I (and others near me) have carved for myself on the correct side of the sidewalk. Take it down a notch. That extra 2.5 seconds you save by bobbing and weaving won't add up to enough time to stop for coffee, I promise.)

People who don't know what car blinkers are for.

I hate the leaving the doors ajar too. It drives me up the wall so much that I can never ignore it. I have to get up and close them. How hard is it to close the door to a cabinet after you take something out?

I hate it when people talk really loud into their phones in public. One of these days I am going to yell, "Hey, (who ever they are talking to), can you tell your friend to lower it down? We can hear them from across town."

Re: Life's Little Annoyances

[loracarol]

Actually, that reminds me, I need to get some sort of tape later today- I keep finding my under-the-kitchen-sink cabinet doors slightly open, but I definitely close them... It's either my cat or, like you said, a lazy poltergeist. :P

I hate it when paper isn't pulled out of a notebook neatly/people don't fix it when it is.

Also when I'm trying to bubble in forms, and the bubble isn't neat. :I

Re: Life's Little Annoyances

I have a flight of steps on the outside of the house leading from my front door (which is on the side of the house, I live upstairs) down into the side yard. There's a particular step there that is a deathtrap in winter, due to the way water drips from a roof corner on to it. It freezes and is basically impossible to keep clear.

I slipped on it today.

Landed on my ass and slid all the way to the bottom. Fortunately the ass was fat so I was unharmed, just my dignity was damaged. But my pants were a wreck and had to go in the wash (eh, overdue for it anyway) and I've been in a shitty mood about it since. Especially since coming back upstairs after dinner I SLIPPED ON THE STEP AGAIN

Oh, and a more constant annoyance -- the intercom ringtone for the house phone handsets. It's different from the regular ringtone and is completely unchangable. That wouldn't be so bad if it weren't this horrible BWAWWWWNNNNNNNK sound. I swear I want to throw it every time it goes off.

High-powered hand dryers in public bathrooms. These pieces of shit: http://www.exceldryer.com/products_xlerator.php
My ears are really sensitive to particular types of noise and nothing on earth that I've heard so far is as painful as these. I have to cover my ears or run out of the bathroom or I start to lose it.

On the opposite end, these lead to extreme happiness: http://airblade.dyson.com/

Re: Life's Little Annoyances

[tabaqui]

When someone's collar is twisted, or their hem is turned up, or their pant-leg is caught on their shoe and they're just walking around like that. I have this horrible need to *fix it*, though i don't on strangers. (Fair game if i know you.)

Smudged lenses on glasses. Clean them! I can't stand to look at people through big, smeary spots on their glasses.

People leaping in to say 'bless you' before you're even done sneezing. Don't do that. Just - stoppit. I never say it, nobody blesses you when you cough, just - keep it to yourself.

Re: Life's Little Annoyances

[shinyhappypanic]

when people say "o'clock" after what time it is. idk why but I just think it sounds so stupid that when people say it I get really annoyed.

I also hate it in class when, if you have been called on and are giving an answer, people turn around to gape at you while you respond. if someone sitting next to me or behind me does I don't care, but it just irritates me so much when people just have to turn around in their seat...ugh!

When I've spent ages coding a table on a wiki and I'm sure I typed everything correctly, and then preview reveals I managed to mess up somewhere.

On the page I've been working on the past couple days, I've come to hate the heavy red font that appears when I mistyped something in one particular part of that table's coding.

PEOPLE WHO WALK SLOWLY IN FRONT OF ME.

*cough*

Re: Life's Little Annoyances

[nightscale]

People chewing with their mouths open or making a lot of noise when eating.

The loo roll being gone when I go to use the toilet, it's more that when I use up the loo roll I always make sure to grab a new one out after, but so many other people I know don't do this.

Flicking through channels during an advert break, this one winds me up the most tbh, mostly because it's pointless since nearly all the other channels will be on advert breaks too and y'know what? I don't actually want to miss any part of this show/movie I'm watching. Stop it.

Censoring swear words with asterisks, either replace like [dang] or just write out the real thing. You're not fooling anyone with those asterisks, you're just making it harder to read.

Re: Life's Little Annoyances

[nyxelestia]

Most kids lecture their parents about leaving the lights on.

I lecture my parents about leaving the lights on.

WHY AM I THE ONE WHO HAS TO DO IT?

Re: Life's Little Annoyances

[(Anonymous)]

I have so many today.

When the sidewalks everywhere have been sprinkled with grit for traction, and the mats in the anterooms of the buildings at my school are so wet and covered with grit that you can't get it off your shoes. Then, everywhere you go, you hear it crunching underfoot.

When people listen to their music on headphones while they study at the library, but they turn it up so loud that everyone can hear it anyway. WTF, people, it's a fucking LIBRARY.

When my cat bolts his food and then pukes it up.

When the director of my choir greets everybody with "HELLOOOOOOOO women!" like she does at every practice. Everyone is expected to go "HELLOOOOOOOO!!" back. It's -2F outside and I have a sore throat and a headache, and I don't want to vocalize any more than I absolutely have to, so I can feel my face taking on the expression of Grumpycat.

Re: Life's Little Annoyances

[tamabonotchi]

I hate how slow some people will be getting on the bus, paying fare, walking down the aisle, finding a seat, and getting off.

It's the absolute worst when the bus is running late, and they have to pull out their wallet to find their pass/money.

When the trash bag doesn't stay up on the rim of trash can.

[(Anonymous)]

How cold porcelain can be.
When you close the damn cabinet and the hinges are a little too tight or too loose and it doesn't close all the way or bounces back a little.
Getting home and realizing that one piece of hair you'd thought you'd gotten to lie flat had just waited until you weren't looking to pop back up again.
The TV networks schedule timing issues that cause the DVR to cut off that last 30 seconds of a show - a lot can happen in 30 seconds, especially big reveals.

Re: Life's Little Annoyances

[caffeine_buzz]

Customers who want me to help them but won't get off their freaking cell phones. I had it happen twice the other day when working, that someone on their phone would come up to my window, ask a question, and then when I start to answer hold up a finger like "Just a minute!" and start yapping on their phone. You asked me for help. If you can't get off your damn phone for a minute to let me answer, then get outta my window and come back when you're done. In fact, anyone who's on their phone and needs something, but rather than just getting off the phone and asking tries to do some kind of funky pantomime. This is not charades. If you have a question, need to borrow a pen, whatever, then get off your phone and ask properly.

Re: Life's Little Annoyances

[elaminator]

I'm almost always annoyed by nighttime because I'm tired and want sleep, but at the same time I want to have a few hours to myself to game or read or whatever. So I fight with myself over it, usually stay up too late and don't want to wake up the next morning.

People who block the aisle in stores.

People coming over uninvited, at the worst possible time. Just call first...

Video games freezing when you haven't saved in a while. I swear I save every five minutes, but the one time I decide, "No no, it'll totally be fine", the game freezes or shuts down.

I so get you on the french fry thing. Or when you have a box of crisps and get to the bottom and it's all broken pieces, or when you have one or two small fish fillets and need three or four, anything like that.

Re: Life's Little Annoyances

[otakugal15]

Mispronunciation of words.

I live in the South, born and raised. When you say Pecan as "Pee-can" or caramel as anything other than "carah-mul", I vein pop like whoa.

And don't get me started on people who mispronounce Arkansas as "Ar-Kansas."

It's irrational, but I literally cannot with other pronunciations.
