Favorite Little Annoyances

[fulltilt39]

I really can't stand when I'm peeling the foil top off of a yogurt (or anything else), and it doesnt come off cleanly. Then there's pieces of it all around the lid and you have to get your fingers all sticky trying to get every little last bit off because you're anal and can't eat the yogurt (or anything else) until ALL the foil is gone.

That is all.

Opening a cereal bag that's excessively sealed, and it rips down the bag instead of opening at the seam.

When I'm trying to stuff my carpet roll in the trunk and it won't stop moving around. Its always a hassle beating it with a bat to make it stop moving.

I hate yogurt. The smell of it annoys me and makes me feel sick.

I hate packaging on products where it takes a chainsaw and 3 different sizes of knives and a utility knife to open them.

I hate people who drive with their blinkers on when they are going straight.

I hate people who don't keep up with the speed of traffic on the road.

Pet peeve posts, AToT haz it.

i hate people who complain about blister packaging because they are to stupid to open it

Had this happen this morning: Walking down a hall and trying to flip on a light switch while in a hurry only to miss it and have to stop and go back... and missing it again! Makes you feel like you fail at life.

I hate USB plugs...no matter which way I try first it's always the wrong way.

People that don't pull out under the light while it's still green when turning left

 

[xanis]

People who say "um" a lot when they're talking.

People who stop/congregate in the middle of the sidwalk, getting in everyone's way. Also applies to hallways and other public spaces.

blister packaging is fucking ridiculous

when stores put stickers on glass or some other surface that it just shreds when you try to remove it

stupid people you have to work with

when people clap at the end of a flight (yay we didn't die!??)

when some fat bitch clogs up the stairway when you're running to catch a train

Watching someone else use a computer.

I hate people who stand still on escalators.
I hate people that stand still in aisles or hallways .

Even that isn't as bad as people who stand still on moving walkways in airports. I've only ever seen that in China though, I don't think they realize they are for people who are in a hurry.

:awe:

The other thing that gets me about watching someone else use a computer is watching them hover their mouse over the okay button for three seconds before clicking it. Every time a dialog box comes up. Every time they click on everything. Hover that mouse. Yep, read every single word of that dialog box that only has one option.

Ctrl + Insert (to copy) does not work in the reading pane in Outlook 2007 sp1

(waiting on sp2 to be pushed)

The other thing that gets me about watching someone else use a computer is watching them hover their mouse over the okay button for three seconds before double clicking it. Every time a dialog box comes up. Every time they click on everything. Hover that mouse. Yep, read every single word of that dialog box that only has one option.

AFIAK, it's illegel to sit in the center of an intersection like that...if you turn left while it's red you can get a ticket, even if you're in the center of an intersection.

My buddy got one for doing this exact thing.

noob's also try to run the red, left light and get nailed as other noobs are trying to run their red going on the directional streets.

when people leave the huge-ass picture in their quote...

no both moving sidewalks and escalators are for the lazy

Watching old people type slow. Watching people right click-copy/cut, right click-paste. Basically just people sucking at computers.

And oh my goodness, this one has been prevalent the last few weeks. People who refuse to use Word's built-in track changes, and instead change font to red every time they want to add something, and manually strike-through everything they want to remove. AND THEN THEY ABANDON IT AND LET SOMEONE ELSE FIX THEIR FUCKED UP FORMATTING FOR THE FINAL COPY. Seriously, people do this.

I'm annoyed by people who don't install security updates. It seems like everyone is content with having that notification box pop up every 10 minutes, but then never do anything about it.

I was in a coworkers office when she was starting up her machine and was prompted to install an update for Adobe Flash. She quickly hit cancel without giving any consideration to installing it. Wtf, it takes like 2 seconds to update it and Flash is pretty damn vulnerable.
