Subject: Small but annoying things

What small and stupid thing has recently gotten your goat?


Mine would be spell checks that never give you the right suggestion for what you want even though you only barely misspelled something.

You join the supermarket queue behind the people who've only got a few things in their basket. What you don't know is that they have released their half a dozen children into the shop, and each one will rejoin their parents with a basketful of their own.

That's six small, annoying things.

People who ask questions that they really don't want the answers to. If you tell someone the truth, they get all hurt. Don't ask if you don't want to know.

I agree with Rayven! It's soooo annoying!
Also all of those really annoying preps that cry over anything bad you say about them, or like cry if they don't get their way. Erg it drives me insane, and I suppose it was a mistake to tell one of those people that I hated her. Woops.

What happened, Renoewa? Did she sob all over you and cover your clothes with soggy make-up?

A tiny little thing:

-when people say "good" (adjective), but should use "well" (adverb).

I agree Cher. All spelling and grammar erros annoy me, but ever since I started nagging people about them, I seem to be committing them!

(Shane, I missed your comment. Quiet!)

Love those penguin pirates!
Most annoying thing? Mosquitoes, especially when they torture the hand holding the mouse. I believe they lurk under the mouse table, peek, say 'yep, she's looking at the screen, time for a raid!' then sneak out and apply the nasty hypodermic of Itch.
I reach for mosquito zapper but often they've returned to hidden lurk mode. Sometimes I get them, but there are always more. Then I sigh resignedly and reach for the calamine lotion and more repellent. I have screens on my windows and I'm starting to think of installing a mosquito airlock on my door. Just kidding. Other family members like french doors wide open.

A few more of my more people related Annoying Things:
'_The_ x', whatever it is, when there's clearly more than one option.
Common grammatical errors such as 'there's..' ( + plural), or 'their' instead of 'his',her' or other grammatical errors.
Biggest communication 'crime' for me is 'nobody came' when 'very few people came' is really meant.
I also don't like unsolicited 'awwwww!' or 'no but...' when no contradiction to the previous remark is appropriate.

I get annoyed when shop assistnts keep me waiting because they are having a conversation with the other shop assistant about what they got up to last night.

Thanks for all the compliments on my penguins! That doesn't annoy me at all! :)

I do agree with you 100% Kiwi_al. They stand there and talk to each other like you don't exist! Grrrr! Also, I was in a store the other day that closes at 6 p.m. At 5:50, the clerk started saying that we close in 8 minutes. She kept it up every minute. At exactly 6, she kicked us out. I realize that they want to go home, but when I worked in customer service, we were NEVER allowed to tell the customers to leave until they were finished.

Rednecks on the east and slightly southern coast who want to overexert their rebel pride and people who wear their pants too short with cowboy boots.

My favorite that makes me laugh: students at junior colleges that drive Hummers. That one translates to ie: wasted education.

When You Tell Someone Youll Call Them Back And 5 Min. Later They Call You. I Mean When Someone Says They Will Call You Back Dont Bug Them About It They Eventually Call You.
