Little things in life that annoy you.

[retrorussell]

What are some various minor annoyances that occur in life every once in a while that bug you?

Here's some little things that bug me:
A splinter in your sock.
Finding a ripped fingernail and trying to tear it off yourself.. with slightly bloody results (ouch!).
A canker sore WAY back in the mouth in a place that's kind of hard to reach but you feel it practically every time you talk or move your mouth.
When people say "whatevs".
A nerve that jumps in your foot or eye while you're trying to sleep.

What little things annoy you?

When people don't use their turn signals.

Able-bodied people who take the elevator up one floor when you are rushing or running late.

When you order food, tell people which condiments you want, and when you get home, there is no condiment there at all.

Condescending women (or people in general).

[JaseSF]

When people serve food that isn't properly cooked.

Pain that really never goes away - constant aches and pains.

Cashiers who chat on their phones and don't even say hello to customers they serve.

People smoking outside public building entrances.

Taxes on top of taxes on items, particularly gas.

(Really serious)
Humans lack of consideration about long-term consequences. (E.g., just look around)

Some people total lack of logic, reason, acceptance of evidence, or even basic facts. (E.g., Glenn Beck)

People losing their cool in front of irrelevant facts. (E.g., pretty much all the road rage, extreme examples include ethic wars)



(Silly, but still fun)
How stupid Graphical User Interfaces can be, I am using mainly Linux those days and seldom I wonder if the GUI writer ever tried it once...

Lack of politeness as well shown by Randall

[indianasmith]

When the bill's perforated tearing edge is about 1/8" away from where they fold the bill, making it nearly impossible to tear as intended.

Tattoos in general.

When people look at my life's work, shrug, and say "I don't read books."

[retrorussell]

Bugs flying into my nose or eye.

Hair in my mouth.

Dental floss that breaks off in my teeth.

Ants in/around the house.

People that talk too damn much.

My sister's condescending behavior.

The government aiding worthless/lazy people.

A favorite team constantly being mediocre year after year; often rattling off a win streak to spin false hopes and ultimately stinking it up again.

Excessive dog drool getting on everything.

Services that don't seem expensive until you see the bill.

People who are oblivious to everything going on around them.  The whole world revolves around them and they'll take their damned time - yet if they ever get stuck behind someone who's slower than they are, they'll be the first to complain.

The way everybody on video game forums acts like they're 12 years old.

Science "news" sites that take the wildest speculation, pile it on top of even more wild speculation, and call it a "theory".  There's a difference between getting high and daydreaming vs. formulating a theory.

Constant niggling interruptions that, at the end of the day, have made it impossible to get anything accomplished.

[Alex]

People whose opinions come soley from the newspapers they read.

Anyone trying to push their religion on me.

Chuggers (Charity Muggers, the people who get paid rather than volunteering to collect money for charities. I once signed up to support a cancer research charity with monthly donations and found out after to my disgust that the first £200 I donated would go to paying the company that got me to sign up).

And worst of all, people leaving dishes in the sink not stacked neatly.

[akiratubo]

Humans.

Yeah I pretty much agree about the turn signals.  I keep posting pictures of that funny looking stick thing on the side of my steering wheel to FB in the hopes that people will realize its there for a reason.  Cops don't even use their turn signals here.

[lester1/2jr]

People who can't figure out how to drive around a guy riding a bicycle on the side of the road.

In 2005 when I was stuck in a boring, boring hotel room in a boring, boring Texas town a bit too far from the delights of Austin with a lotta time on my hands and a tornado watch outside, I once made a 22-page list in longhand chronicling many of life's annoyances. I entitled "Buncha s**t That Sucks" and I still have that little masterpiece today.

From page one:

God isn’t your witness; oversleeping; clothes come out of dryer with “musty” smell; your roommate uses your hairbrush; rabid-looking stray dog s**ts on your lawn; bad hair weeks; boyfriend reminisces a bit too fondly about former girlfriend’s ‘killer rack’; buying rotten bananas; broken hot water heater; biting your tongue while eating tasteless three-bean casserole at a church supper; slicing open your leg while shaving in the shower when you’re in a hurry and have to wear a dress that day; breakfast cereals cost too f**king much; migraine headache sufferer won’t shut up about seeing ‘lights’; getting ‘sexiled’ by your roommate; someone eats the white stuff out of every Oreo in the box and leaves the cookies licked on and staring you in the face; whacking holy hell out of your toe while walking to the bathroom late at night; sitting through your bud’s bulls**t UFO story that grows more elaborate every time he tells it; doing genealogy research and finding out your ancestors were stupid hillbillies; dude who won’t shut the hell up about how he has given up watching television; some douchebag gives you a wedgie while you’re throwing up; boyfriend collects action figures at age twenty; ‘technical’ virgins who brag they’re saving themselves; you hold off dating your roommate’s ultra-hot, newly-single brother because you don’t want to damage your friendship, then a month later she moves out anyway; being convinced invisible sharks live in swimming pools; while seeing it with snake handlers you find The Passion of the Christ hilarious; European toilet paper; telling your blabby Irish cousin you made out with an English guy; the python has Fluffy’s leash hanging out its mouth; your Jewish fiance’s mother explains that she likes you but ‘dear, you’re just not one of us’; teacher refuses to pronounce your name right; the IRS auditor is the boy you wouldn’t give the time of day to your senior year; book store manager reminds you “this isn’t a public library”.

Yup, lottttta time on my hands that day...

Just got a new kitten that never stops meowing unless he's asleep. He's a little thing and he annoys me.
