Things that tick you off about random people

[Katie]

1) People who won't do things for themselves / "needy" people

Today as I sat in my cubicle slaving over the pile of corporate paperwork that seems to be never ending, I heard my next door cube neighbor talking to his wife. She does not work...but he holds down 3 jobs to keep the family going (her and 6 month old) She was calling him because the cable was out and she wanted him to call the cable company to see what the problem was. Now, she is at home....wouldn't it have been just as easy for her to dial the cable company instead of him? What followed was a 3 hours long every ten minutes ringing of his cell phone as she tried to get him to get them to hurry the process of repairing whatever had caused the outage. And later on it was calling several times to report that she had lost her keys and that she couldn't find them and wanted to know if he knew where they were...nevermind that he had been at work the whole time and she had been running errands all day.

2) you know...that guy/gal at work/school/wherever...you know the one...

Also today I had a male co worker who WILL NOT get the hint that I do not like him litterally hanging around me all day. He would make little comments about me and give me that look every time he saw me...then, the icing on the cake....he was walking by and decided I needed my hair pushed out of my face so he did it for me.....SO CREEPY I smacked his hand away from my face so fast that I have a bruise on my palm now. Just because I look like I do does not mean you have liberties to make comments and touch....that pleasure belongs to one man alone.

3) in everyone's business

My Boss fits this one...she comes around about every 15 minutes to see what I am doing...and at the end of the day she wants a report, hour by hour, of exactly what we were doing. Typical boss in some places, but what i do is a very independent and highly subjective job...not one you tell someone how to do...she's driving me up the wall!!

4) me.

I hate people who complain....but I just did But it was good to get out of my system





What do you guys find irritating in random people?

[Ra]

Ah, one of my favorite topics

1) Dumb People - People who can not figure out anything on their own, or won't take a hint, or won't work, or just act like a five year old because they can...and I'm around these kinds of people nearly 24/7 T_T;

2) B!@#*s - Again, I have to deal with these people 24/7. They annoy me, they annoy my friends, and they think they are the queens of the world. Example, yesterday in maths with my friend... "Oh! Thats Kat! Hi Kat! Kat, look here! Kat! Kat! Kat! Kat! Kat!!". Thankfully my friend knows how to deal with them and acts like an emo around them XD But still, it makes me want to strangle them.

3) Two-faced people - Kind of like the b****y people, they won't talk to you unless they can see some profit out of it. Like results for a Biology practical. Which they asked me for yesterday. So I gave them some faulty results But yeah, they treat you like **** until they find a reason to be nice to you, and then you are as low as dirt again.

So, yeah, that's my top 3. I'm pretty easy going, but put one of those people in my path and I will burst a vain either trying to stay calm, or trying to beat them senseless ^_^

Ooooohh, now this is my kinda thread!!!! I find annoying things in people all over campus. Everyone is constantly on their cell phone. I was sitting in the hallway waiting for a class to end because mine is right after it. 3/4 of the people comming out put out their cell phone to talk about the most random, unnecessary crap. It pisses me off more when people are texting and not looking where they are walking and then I have to try and dodge them. Buuuutttt it pisses me off even more when people do this while I'm at work. I work in the cafeteria and I have to serve for the last half hour of my shift. I hate it when people walk up on their cell phone and just stand there talking and not even look at me. Then they whisper and point, but I can ever interpret what the hell they just said. I've started to stand there and wait for them to finish their conversation before I do anything. And then they don't even say thank you. I hate people sometimes.

I got lots more, but I'll post them later.

iPods, Mp3 players, and cell phones in my classroom. If I see or hear it, it is mine...no questions asked. It is one of my biggest pet peeves. One time I heard a cell phone go off at the beginning of my teaching placement in January. I went over where I heard it. My students watched me and one said, "You should be a administrator". At that moment, my students learned what I do not like.

[Mr. Snackpants]

That pisses me off to SF. This one girl who sits in front of me in my Gov't and Politics class...her phone goes off every class period. It's so annoying. I mean, she cant be that dumb, can she? It happens every time so youd think she'd learn.

Oh heres another one....

People who try too hard to be nice:

When I open a door and someone is close behind me I'll hold it open behind me until the person grabs it. Sometimes I'll be a good 15 yard away from a door and someone will be holding it open. I mean, its nice of them to do...but then I feel I have to practically run to the door, to not keep them standing there so long. They're being too considerate.

[Cascadia]

I have had professors that answer the student's cell phone when it rings. One in particular answered and humiliated both the phone's owner and the person that called. He said, "We are having class and you are disturbing the other students". That was the last time that occurred.

Here is another one...

I would hold doors open for other people. But I hope that they would do the same. However, sometimes I get the door slammed in my face.

One thing I f*cking hate is a boss who's asking you to do something, even writes it down so that its 110% clear ! and then blame you for not doing what they asked for, and tell ya that you need to listen more! WHEN YOU DID EXACTLY WHAT WAS ASKED AND WRITTEN! Now that's f*cking pisses me off to no end.

Also, friends that are going away or doing something else on a day that you planned with them to do something fun. Without even warning you. A$$ holes.

This is a great thread really.

[Ra]

We are all full of love, Sliced. No need to hide that

Another one that ticks me off are people who pretend to be your friends before they backstab you. Honestly, I've had way to many people like that in my life for my liking, and I intend to leave it at that too. Ugh...

[Sewer Bull]

Oh lord, another one of these whining threads.

Heh... Trust me pal, the other way round (friends changing their plans to spend some time with you even though you didn't plan it) can be way worse.

I've had a problem similar to this, the old boss tells me what to do and leaves me a list. I get it done, no problem. The next day I get chewed out for not doing things that I had no idea about because I wasn't told about them and they weren't on my crew sheet.

And then there are those times when I've been yelled at for things that happened while I was off, or even better, while I was on vacation.

Got ya sista

Never happened to me yet. But I doubt it would piss me off as much if nothing was planned and I refused to do something with a friend.. But I of course don't want that to happen to me, since it does seem like a big deal hearing you speak.

Yeah, there's some smart people in this world huh ?

[Masked Ninja]

I get kind of antsy in crowds, especially when there's nobody to talk to or no reason for me to be there in general. So I start to work my way out of the group, and there's invariably people who are busy talking and don't notice that I'm trying to get through. It's not their fault, but it frustrates me.

Along those same lines are the people in front of you on the sidewalk or hallway, and they stop short to talk to someone or answer their phone, and you have to dodge them. Again, not really their fault, but argh.

I do hate when a professor is talking and there's some idiot in the back (and maybe his friends, too) that won't shut up. This happens in other gatherings, too. Which begs the question: if you're not going to pay attention, why bother coming?

They altered their plans only to "accompany" me on my date. Which was completely spoiled because of their nearby presence.

[MadPirateBunny]

Whine me a river....

hehe. Actually I have a hard time with the sucky people.
And not the good sucky people.
The kind who see your happiness and because they're life sucks want to be with you to get some joy in their life but instead of returning joy, they just give suckiness, while sucking your happiness away and when they leave, you feel like some poor little raisin. Shriveled and used up.
And that sucks too.

[jeff the cheff]

People with those cell phones that make that really loud bleep sound whenever they change the volume or do anything.

And people that wear hats with the stickers still on them, like they either want to return it or just keep it there so they know its fresh?

[Cure]

People that chew with their mouths open. It's disgusting.

[Peanut]

Lets just say I could write a book.

Normally I wouldn't be a part of this topic, but I'm having one of the most annoying experiences ever. There's a kid in my class, who wears gangsta clothes and chains and does the gangsta walk, except that he's a 250 lb, high pitched talking, idiot. In my class the teacher will be giving instructions, very basic things like open this folder (it's all ony computers) or open a program and he'll have to ask what to do... ON EVERY SINGLE INSTRUCTION. This goes on for hours, you can tell the teacher wants to just smash his face into the monitor, and sometimes she even ignores him outright. We get a good laugh for a while, but towards the end of the class when you realized you're only getting half the amount of work done, it gets really f'ing annoying.

Otherwise my only other real annoying experiences are at retail or on the road and I think everyone has those experiences whether you've never owned/driven a car before or ever worked retail, you just need to be there to know how annoying it is. Giant super stores like wal-mart on crowded days can drive me insane, I'll start knocking people over when they just sit in the aisles with a cart doing nothing, or come pulling out extremely fast with a cart into a main aisle where you're walking.

But this has to be the first time I've heard someone say they don't like those who are too considerate, it's almost like an oxymoron.... I'd take that anyday over those who aren't considerate at all.

[Cascadia]

That has happened to me before. I was a teaching intern last year for college freshmen level geology classes. I had two guys in the back of the room that would be goofing around. I encouraged the students to read the lab procedure before they come into the lab. These two guys would not read the lab so they would raise their hands and ask on how to do every procedure. By the 2nd day of this, I got sick of it.

[JetsAndHeels]

There are alot of things that piss me off. I will name some of the biggies for me:

-People on their phones in places where you shouldnt be on them...like checking out at a store, in the movies, while driving and nearly killing someone, etc.
-People who talk and make noise during movies at the theater. I don't know how, but I was born with the strange power to attract these idiots EVERY SINGLE TIME I go to a movie. Plus they always want to sit right behind me.
-People out in the malls and stores who walk slow or just take up a whole aisle and don't care. Either look at the merchandise or get outta my way.
-People who hang up on you without saying "I'm sorry I have a wrong number", or something like that. I usually *69 these people and if their number isn't blocked I call them back.
-People who call me and are eating or chewing something over the phone. Chew it up, then call me so I can hear you. Also when people eat and make noise...shut your mouth when you chew, thanks.

I have alot more, but I am sure this is enough for right now.
