2. Rude People, Especially When Theres No Reason/Need For It

4. Hypocrites

[kurokawaii]

10. Crumbs In Bed

Crumbs down your bra is worse >_<

[Bomber]

1, people who are incapable of putting things back where they found them
2, people who fuss and fiddle constantly
3, People Who Type Like This, tHiS, th1s, thiis and all other variations on appalling grammar. Including the use of double ampersands. Sorry, you wouldn't do it when writing by hand, it makes things harder to read and it's infinitely more effort than typing normally.
4, running out of milk
5, having to tidy up other people's mess

[starlotus]

1. Friends who use you
2. Judgmental people (and as a part of that - people who seem to take pleasure in cutting other people down and hurting them for no reason)
3. This 100+ degree heat that shows no sign of letting up
4. The jerks who own our office building that keep the thermostat at 80
5. Traffic on the Garden State Parkway that is always at a slow crawl when I'm trying to get home from work
6. My house being a mess and me being the only one who bothers to clean it up
7. #6 taking up time when I want to be making dreads
8. The fact that my *real* friends are all so far away it would take a plane-ride to see them
9. Being -er- "frustrated" but also knowing that it's not good for me to be in a relationship right now
10. Being lonely
11. Not being able to get these last 10 lbs off
12. Living in Jersey

Wow, I have a lot to gripe about today; sorry!

[Sakura]

1. Noisey Eaters. I CAN'T STAND IT!!

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. Why are people so disgusting?

[Flick]

1. Definitely people who cant spell or use correct grammar.
2. People who nit-pick my spelling/grammar because I say I cant stand bad spelling/grammar. Theres a difference between a typo or a genuine mistake and 'TyPinG likE DiS'
3. Stupid people, and people who dont listen. I just explained that, just because you weren't listening does not make it ok to ask again.
4. People who aren't honest. I've been told I'm tactless.. No, I'm honest. I still value it as a trait.
5. People who dont cover their mouths/noses, or do it with their hands when they cough or sneeze. I dont want to be anywhere near you when you're spreading your snot around.
6. I could go on forever, I'm a very irritable person (apparently this makes me a bitch).. being sworn at. I detest it. It makes me want to punch the person in the face.
7. People who whinge about things that cant be changed. Like, the weather. Ok, its cold. I know this, you know this. So put another jumper and shut up!
8. People who expect everything to be done for them because they've had a hard knock life. Everybody has had a bad life. Doesnt make it ok for you to not get a job, expect the government to pay your way, sit on your bottom all day doing nothing.
9. People, who despite being the same description as number 8, then wont contribute to any housework, which means I do it ALL, when I get home, or its left for my mother who works a 50 hour+ week. (get the feeling I'm describing someone in particular?)
10. People who bully other people, or deliberately bring them down. You suck.

I better stop, but just know Im sitting here agreeing with most of what people say.

[ScarletLady]

1. Poor grammar/spelling/use of the English language - if it's your first language, LEARN IT PROPERLY!
2. Bad manners.
3. Girls who "WOOOOOOOOOH!!!" and make loads of shrieking noises.
4. Girls who think that because they look a certain way, they needn't bother ever doing anything to enrich themselves as people.
5. Boys who like said girls.

I'll be adding to this list as there is more but it's early and I can't form my thoughts properly

[..::AtomicLox::..]

1. I'm on board with the language irritation, although I have to say it bothers me more in writing than it does otherwise.
2. Idiot drivers. I just can't even begin to express my frustration with people propelling a giant metal object through space and NOT PAYING ATTENTION AT ALL.
3. People who think all I do all day long is sit and wait for them to call so I can jump up and work for them. This ties in to people showing up 20 minutes late to appointments without bothering to call, and no call/no shows as well. The lack of respect involved is infuriating.
4. Shifty internet connections. No patience at all!
5. Having to repeat myself.

[tazzyface]

1. Poor grammar and spelling.
2. People who can't spell "to" and instead use "too". Two-letter words aren't actually that difficult to spell.
3. Hearing fat people tell skinny people to "eat a hamburger". I always have to stop myself from saying "stop EATING hamburgers" back to them. Rude, yes, but it's incredibly judgemental of them. Despite what society says, fat isn't actually that sexy or healthy.
4. Our whole pro-fat culture.
5. Bad drivers.
6. Drunks and drug addicts.
7. No manners! It's not hard to say please and thank you!
8. People who use the excuse "I had a rough childhood". So have most people. Shut up and do something with your life.
9. Meat eaters who try to shove their food in my face. It's not appetising, it's revolting.
10. Apple products and their fanboys.

I could keep going... I have the displeasure of meeting a lot of idiots every day

[[Phexxie]]

1. Grammar and spelling... this seem to be a re-occuring theme
2. Noisy eaters - this REALLY annoys me, its not hard to keep your mouth shut, i dont want to see it >_<
3. People who are too impatient to let you get off the train with your huge suitcase before they barrage past you
4. People who insist on playing their music on public transport - BUY SOME HEADPHONES YOU ARROGANT F***!!!!!!!!!!! *excuse me*
5. Women with prams who think they own the pavement
6. Families eating in pubs/restaurants with the parents not bothering to keep an eye on their kids and letting them run riot - a fair few times I had a kid show up in the kitchen, not exactly a safe environment!
7. Cleaning other peoples mess - as the only girl in a student house, I was obviously the only one who knew how to wash a plate
8. People who stand in doorways at parties then don't move (or move a centimetre to their left) when you politely ask if you can get past
9. Dirty bathrooms/toilets
10. Housemates not bothering to clean up after their pets an expecting you to do it because they've just decided they're going to be away for the week - not my pets to clean up after, and who said I'm going to be in the house myself?
11. The above leads me on to.... people not bothering to ask if you are busy or have plans, before dumping their plans on you and expecting you to work around it

ok, I'll stop

[Dystopatica]

1. Whingers. People who nothing but complain about every aspect of their life and think they are incredibly hard done by.
2. Attention seekers. Girls who do nothing but constantly put themselves down in the hope that people will respond by saying “Don’t be silly, you’re GORGEOUS!”
3. Shitty ring tones. I do not want to hear the opening bars of N Dubz over tiny phone speakers five times during a 10 minute bus journey.
4. Fashion clones. Groups of friends who all look identical, be it in the same TopShop dress or the same Lip Service outfit. “Alternative” fashion is just as guilty of this as mainstream.
5. The lack of art and culture education in the UK.
6. People who are proud of their ignorance. “I don’t do politics” or “I never read books” are not statements you should be happy to make.
7. Over sharers. People who post intimate details of their relationship/sex life/emotional issues/toilet habits all over the internet.

I can’t fill an entire list of ten. Generally I’m quite a happy person and nothing much really bothers me. Either that or I am incredibly self-centered and simply don’t care enough about anything other than me. I’ll leave you to decide.

[ScarletLady]

2. Attention seekers. Girls who do nothing but constantly put themselves down in the hope that people will respond by saying “Don’t be silly, you’re GORGEOUS!”

THIS!!!
I hate this too...or people who go "Oh I'm sooooooo fat" when they're about a size 8

[ShadowThrone]

6. People who are proud of their ignorance. “I don’t do politics” or “I never read books” are not statements you should be happy to make.

Yes. 'wHatS a BooK LoLoL!!!!11'

Arrgh.

[Sybafairy]

1. People who insist on lying to your face, and talking behind your back. Grow. Up.
2. People who spit in the street.
3. People who stick chewing gum to public seating, buses, the ground.
4. Anyone incapable of having a conversation via text without using U R or LOL
5. Anyone who cannot say please or thank you. Manners are free children.
6. Over weight people who complain about their size then go to McDonalds/Domino's *insert other junk food places here*
7. Thin girls who winge they are fat.
8. Anyone who thinks its sexy to be a slag.
9. My boyfriend's crazy ex girlfriend.
10. Anyone who cant use, their, there and they're
11. Rude customer service staff / call centre staff. Just because you are on a telephone doesn't mean manners are out of the window.
12. All these girls who think they are 'alternative' models. Sorry but posting a few pictures doesn't make you a 'model'
13. America's Next Top Model
14. Britain's Next Top Model
15. *insert country here*'s Next Top Model

ok i am going to stop.........

*edit to add*
16. Derek Acorah - get bent
17. Yvette Fielding - six years of making ghost hunting programmes and you still scream at the slightest noise. Get. Bent.
18. People who put Formspring on their facebook accounts, and then complain about being called fat, ugly and generally trolled by the faceless internet. Delete it then. Own. Fault.

[MrsEss]

Oooh, this is going to be fun!

1. incorrect use of the English language

6. DOUBLE NEGATIVES. (I had to capitalise this, it is my biggest peeve ever!) I never done nothing. >_< Oh my god, seriously. What?!

[Bomber]

3. Dropping the letters: T, & H, sometimes TH. eg: Ouse, instead of house. tha instead of that, free instead of Three.

I am guilty of dropping my Ts, particularly in the middle of words but it's not through ignorance or laziness, it's just my dialect. I have a distinct East Midlands/Nottingham accent so "I come from Nottingham" sounds like "ah cum fro' Noh-t'num" when I say it

[Miss Liberty]

there are so many good ones posted already, especially by Dystopatica, who apparently shares most of my life irks.

Some other big ones of mine:

1. People driving overized SUV's for apparently no other reason than "fashion"

2. People who seem to care more about capturing themselves on video or in pictures BEING somewhere instead of focusing on the experience of being there. Its been happening a lot at concerts and DJ events here lately with the younger goers. It seems more important to them to get a pic of themselves and their friends AT the event to post on the web rather than paying any attention to the event itself.

3. When the people mentioned above won't get out of my way. I'm trying to dance/see/experience and they are posing in front of me or have their phones/cameras in the air right in my line of sight.

4. black clouded people stuck in a vortex of their own self loathing. Somehow these people always find me and decide I am their therapist.

5. Crap stuck on the stove, must clean!

6. dirty dishes in the sink

7. How car dealerships are allowed to treat their customers and the scams they are allowed to pull. Its freaking criminal

8. People who blame homeowners buying homes they "could not afford" for the collapse of the housing market when most of these people are the ones who CONVINCED the buyers they could afford them 2 years ago when they bought.

9. people who talk over you before you have finished speaking

10. annoying laughs


I think I'll stop there. I think I can feel my blood pressure rising

[MrsEss]

Amy, I'm sure you sound lovely...what I mean is the annoying "commoners" yours is just part of your accent.

I agree with you Miss Liberty...9 & 10, yes yes yes!!

OOh & I know what you mean with number 2, I try not to go to gigs much cos all the young 'uns with their mobile phones/cameras..then showing their mate that just so happen to be stood infront of my annoys me. Grr, & the tiny people that think it is wise to go into a mosh pit & then have to be dragged out by a member of staff.

[ScarletLady]

Hey Sarah - do you think you could get to 100 things

[fustmuffin]

3. Dropping the letters: T, & H, sometimes TH. eg: Ouse, instead of house. tha instead of that, free instead of Three.

This!! I read that thinking "I sound just like that, I ALWAYS say summat!"

1. Smelly people.
2. People who don't say please or thank you...
3. parent and child parking spaces being taken up by transit vans or sparkly sports cars.
4. misspelling the word tongue. Its not a tounge!!

I cant really think of any more right now.... I'm sure I'll be back

[ScarletLady]

I'm guilty of dropping the odd letter as well to be fair - although not in certain company...I can speak properly if I have to but other times I have this terrible Essex/London draawwwwwl

[Miss Liberty]

i should also add people who post about their breastfeeding escapades on FB. If you are on my friends list, I more than likely know you, you are my friend, and I love you....but I REALLY do not want to know how sore your nipples are, really, I don't.

[MrsEss]

Hey Sarah - do you think you could get to 100 things

hehehe. probably, given a week or 2. I <3 a good rant

[Bomber]

i should also add people who post about their breastfeeding escapades on FB. If you are on my friends list, I more than likely know you, you are my friend, and I love you....but I REALLY do not want to know how sore your nipples are, really, I don't.

In relation to this, people who are pregnant/just had a baby and have all their profile pics as pictures of their ultrasounds/kids and their statuses are about nothing but. Yes, I'm sure it's exciting for you but it's nothing that millions of other women haven't already done for millenia beforehand.
