It drives me crazy too. My Dad worked with a man who "chonked his gum" One night, we all woke up to my Dad yelling loudly in his sleep "Arkie Quit Chonking that damn gum!!" HE woke up a few minutes later to two teenagers and a wife cracking up in the hallway.
Start a polite conversation about manners sometime, mentioning that chewign and eating with your mouth open is annoying to you. maybe she'd get the hint

Gum Smacking
I have a relative who is very sensitive and is easily wounded by comments of others. I'm not very good at diplomacy and have struggled with something they do that drives me crazy. Surely, I do plenty of aggravating things myself, but I'm concerned that this person's habit of incessantly smacking their gum might annoy their friends as much as it does me. They have complained about people in a workshop actually moving to the other side of the room, and I'm afraid it was because of the gum smacking. However, it doesn't bother my husband.
Should I try to bring it up, or am I just being hyper-critical? |

I forgot the thing that ticks me off the worst.
People that park in HANDICAPPED spaces without a permit or liscense tag. They usually say "I'll only be here a few minutes." Just makes me want to slash their tires! |

what pisses me off is if there are NO other parking spaces EXCEPT like 5 handicapped spaces, and those are off limits to me even if everything else is full.
oh, and "expectant mother" parking ticks me off. THEY'RE NOT HANDICAPPED! you shouldn't equate the two! |

I'm sure someone knows this without my lazy self having to look it up but are there certain requirements for the ratio of handicap spots to regular spots? For instance, I can't remember the last time I saw 35 handicap people at the grocery store at the same time. Are there so many spots just because there are so many regular spots? |

I have never personally had this experience, but a friend of mine has and I would hate it...
I would hate if I was working in an environment where I had to stand all day and when I looked down my co-worker was bent over picking up boxes and you can see down his pants and he is wearing a womans thong.

1. Models that wear tight fitting under garments to a photo shoot.
2. People who do not use clorets and lean over your shoulder to talk to you. In fact talk at all.
3. People driving on my road "period", no matter how fast they think they are going.
4. CF FULL.

Maybe that's what happens when newbies are told that a DSLR is an entry-level camera, and they shouldn't buy anything but L glass. |
hear hear.

1. Panty hose...especially uncomfortable panty hose that twist and creep. Ick.
2. Underwire bras. Obviously a man invented such torturous devices.
3. Folks who drive 10+ miles UNDER the speed limit in the fast lane. What is up with that???
4. ATM fees...I'm considering switching banks so that I don't have to pay to get my own money anymore.
5. Whiners...those who can't find anything better to do (such as tackling the problem and finding a solution) than to whine and bitch and gripe and complain about the state of affairs in their love lives, their work places, their internet worlds, and the voices in their heads. To borrow my sweet and dear bud sher's signature...JUST PUT ON YOUR BIG GIRL PANTIES AND DEAL WITH IT!!!
I feel a lot better now. Anyone else? Please list what ticks you off or offends you. Have fun! :) |
refer to number 5. a little bit ironic dont you think?
thats what i dislike |

That is so insulting. It really pisses me off that some people think that just because you have a southern accent that you live in a trailor park, you are married to your cousin, that you are ignorant, shop with food stamps and your name is either Bubba or Daisy May. |
You think you got it bad doll, my accent is english/australia with kentucky undertones. I NEVER hear the end of it. |

When I lived in the States for a while some 15 years ago, guys used to place bets with strangers in the bars to let them guess by my accent where I was from. We had a few good laughs about it and I didn't feel offended at all. I mean, everyone has an accent of some kind, what's wrong with that? :-) |

Ok, I couldn't resist this one...
1). Bad drivers/ parkers
2). People who try to hit on you while you're sitting at a stop light
3). People who are disrespectful to others for any reason
4). Shoppers who treat cashiers like dirt. Related to #4, yes, but I'm a cashier and I didn't do anything to them, so why are they being a jerk to me? BTW, when giving change, I give the customer coins first, then bills. :)
5). Shoppers who don't return shopping carts to the designated areas, even if they're only five feet away
6). I'm from Tennessee also, and I get made fun of because of my accent quite a bit. Its not like I can do anything about it!
7). Myself, when I say I'm going to do something then whimp out. :(
Really, I'm not an angry person!.. most of the time. :) |
