Thought I'd vent some of mine and make a place for folks to list there own. I'll go first. Recently, what's been annoying me is people who sing along to their music at the gym. It's like, hey, who sings that song? Oh really? Let's keep it that way! What about you? What's been bothering or annoying you recently?

I think I've mentioned this here before: I'm just weary of courteous drivers who create more problems than they solve. If I'm waiting to make a left turn, there's no need to wave me through if there's no one behind you.

People who walk dogs while they're (the people) on cell phones. My dog wants to say hi, your dog wants to say hi, put the phone away and let them meet.

The Driver problem Pete mentioned is spot on.

I’d also add people driving 50mph in the left passing lane causing a parade miles long since idiots will just drive behind them not realizing they are causing a slow down.

Get on the Right.;

When I'm at a check out line and the person in front of me waits until the total is given before they reach in their wallets or dig through their purse to try and find a credit card or cash or check or whatever.

Or at work when someone calls to make a payment by credit card over the phone and I tell them "ok I'm ready for your card number" and they say "ok hang on let me find my card". I tell them call me back whenever you find it and are ready.

And this may sound crazy but the sound of someone whispering when they try to say something quietly. I can't stand the sound of it. It's like finger nails on a chalkboard to me. If you can't say it loud like a regular person either save it until you can or write it down.

Great thread by the way. Should end up a 20 pager.

Since Irishman mentioned gym:

I'm a member of two gyms. At the Y, I hate it when old people (my age) plop down on a machine, close their eyes and pant for five minutes, then put 10 lbs on the machine and pant for five minutes, then do five reps and pant for ten minutes. At the other gym, I hate it when young people plop down on a machine and then fiddle endlessly with their smart phones. Also hate it when people sit on the stationary bikes to sit on while they watch TV. mad

And, to Michael's first peeve: I also hate it when you're on the checkout line and the person before you waits until the bill prints out before reaching for the credit card. Even worse: they pay cash, and fish forever in pocketbooks or pockets for exact change, doling out the pennies (and dropping them). mad

Millenials who think they r better than everyone else, when in fact, they have no idea what a hard life is, they cant even spell w/out a toy in front of their face.,,school does not even teach cursive anymore..how is 1 supposed 2 sign their signature in this day & life..U can't talk 2 a human being on a phone call no matter what u call because of technology that these f--ks have created...it was never like this VIA 1988 & backwards..life was @1 time simple..fuck 2days kids & I don't care what u guy's say..I'm stuck in the "back in the day" syndrome..I don't have a cell phone xcept in the truck 4 emergencies...& I don't want a cell phone..my idea of a phone is a phone that sits on a countertop in the kitchen..& that's where mine sits..I could on for much longer about 2days world but my older sense tells me 2 stop..so i'll have another shot of Jameson & shut the fuck up.

Another peeve: You thank someone (a restaurant server, checkout person, anyone) for doing something, and they say "no problem." Don't they know how to say "you're welcome"?

Just driving ones I deal with every single effing day:

1 - Drivers not using their blinkers
2 - Drivers who don't turn off their blinkers
3 - Drivers who drive with their high beams on
4 - Drivers who drive with no headlights at all (in the dark)
5 - Slowass drivers who don't stay to the right
6 - Slowass drivers who do stay to the right LOL
7 - Drivers who are in the way (like, taking up more space than they need when turning)
8 - Drivers who see no problem driving on the shoulder way before their right turn
9 - Drivers who rush to get in front of me, cutting me off, who then drive wayyy too slowly
10 - Drivers ahead of me who make illegal turns, etc, like the rules don't pertain to them
11 - Drivers who speed through school zones or past school busses or through ped crossings
12 - Yes, drivers texting on their phones (tho I have less of a problem with ppl talking on the phone -- what's the difference between that and a CB radio for instance?)
13 - Most other drivers wink

I think I'm forgetting a few, but #13 should cover them. I'm pretty sure the first time I get arrested will be for road rage blush



I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey! tongue lol

YES! This right here. I couldn't stand it when people would monopolize machines. Or they'd grab all the free weights they needed and if you needed what they had, "they were using it" while it's clearly on the ground, not being used. These entitled people who feel their workout is more important than yours. Or the people who as you said, just sit on a machine and NEVER get up! I don't lift anymore as I switched to cardio so I don't have as many problems now (knock on wood). But I feel your pain sir!

At the moment on my mind is my asshole neighbour who at least 3 or 4 times a week lets his dog shit at the end of my driveway right there on the pavement, so I went round and mentioned it and he was like if I give you a bag could you pick it up as I am having breakfast wtf ... so I told him like I told him the last time "it is your dog and you gotta pick the shit up yourself for gods sake"... he is a quite a nice old guy but I am close to spraying him and the dog with the hose.. drives me crazy


Ok, from now on, nothing goes down unless I'm involved. No blackjack no dope deals, no nothing. A nickel bag gets sold in the park, I want in. You guys got fat while everybody starved on the street. Now it's my turn. Frank White

Arizona is one of only two states that haven't banned texting while driving. Just a few weeks ago, a policeman dealing with a traffic stop was killed by a moron who was texting and veered right across the road, smashing into him. Our county and city banned texting while driving, but not the state.

2 smoking related items - one is people throwing their cigarette butt out the window on the highway, and related to this is people emptying their ashtrays in a parking lot. The world is not their ashtray - stop treating it like it is.

Why are women always in a rush, slow down... where the heck are you going.

Not just driving, walking around the Supermarket, they speed through like its a mission of survival.

Slow the hell down. And stay outs my way, unless she's really hot.
Then I don't mind.

...and most of the commercial is them rattling off, at auctioneer pace, why you shouldn't take the drug if you have certain health conditions. By the time they're finished, you're too scared to try it.

Same thing w/car commercials..non stop..especially during the local newscasts. And on that subject ,, if ur watching a non major local network like Antenna , ME TV , basically showing back in the day programming, every commercial is either aimed @ the elderly (med-alert, insurance etc.) or low income peoples ( where to get a loan,cheap insurance, or cheap education classes OR those sad animal in cages commercials) over & over & over..drives me nuts.

Their audiences are so small that they don't register much in ratings. So, instead of advertising a product for people to shop for, nearly all their ads have a phone number for people to call and make a direct purchase or donation. If the phone doesn't ring, the advertiser moves his money somewhere else.
