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?
