I know we had a "Pet Peeves" thread way back when. But this is for those things that are "worse than" pet peeves. Things that are really irritating and tend to throw you into a rage. So I'll start.
Is There Anything Worse Than:
Lousy toilet paper. It's bad enough when you buy the really expensive stuff, so soft that even bears in the woods won't crap without it. The stuff that leaves enough "Ultra Soft - Ultra Suave" cushiony-paper cling-ons on your ass to completely take-over and crew the star-ship Enterprise. Worse than that is the stuff that, no matter how careful you are, it tears right at the most inopportune time and you wind up giving yourself an impromptu prostate exam. It's no wonder proctologists make $900 an hour.
There is nothing worse than lousy toilet paper.

Haha, when my wife and I got married I told her that no matter how poor we ever became that she was never allowed to skimp on the toilet paper.
Yes, there is. USED lousy toilet paper.
And I'll see the used, lousy toilet paper, and raise you.....
LIBERALS.

Thread title change: "Besides Liberals, Is There Anything Worse Than" Thread
I equate it to that old adage "You get what you pay for." There are a few things that are worth spending a little extra on- shoes, home improvement materials, and TP are on that list.
Subarus and Prius going 60mph in the left lane talking on their ObamaPhone on I-25 where the speed limit is 75. I don't really mind the truckers, they are working and some have company supervised speed limiters. But if I want to get 10mph going 75 in my jacked up truck, freaking let me by!!!
Same turds will speed up to box you in if you try to pass them.
Is there anything worse than when your wife is straightening up the house and she moves your stuff?
There is nothing that makes me madder than when I go to get something (tools, important papers, batteries, ammo, ...) and it is not where I left it. Then when I inquire about its current location, I get the "I'm not sure. You should not have left it out where I had to come and clean up after you," speech. ARGHHHH! [Mad]

Is there anything worse than being invited to an awesome day at a private range, accepting the invitation and getting excited about it for a week, and then being told by your wife that there is a wedding that afternoon for someone she knows and she already RSVP'd yes for both of you?
[hahhah-no]
Is there anything worse than pouring yourself a bowl of *lucky charms* and getting all excited, only to open the fridge and be out of milk? (*substitute your favorite cereal*)
[hahhah-no]
Is there anything worse than waking up in the middle of the night without your contacts or glasses on, having the uncontrollable urge to pee, going in to the bathroom in the pitch black dark and deciding not to turn the lights on because it would hurt your eyes and wake you up too much, locating the toilet with your knees and starting to pee only to realize the toilet seat is down?
Or more simply, is there anything worse than having to stop peeing mid-stream?
[hahhah-no]
Is there anything worse than a phone call from your mother in law while you're in the middle of fore-play, and your wife answers it?

One more.
Is there anything worse than a smoke detector battery chirp in the middle of the night? Especially the one in the master bedroom on the 3rd floor, not having a chair or ladder tall enough to reach the ceiling on that floor, and having to go to the basement to get a ladder to replace the damned battery, in your skivvies.

Toilet paper? You are spoiled! In Mother Russia it's a basket filled with scraps of newspapers. Did I mention that their hole-in-ground "toilets" can't handle newspapers so there's another basket for *used* newspaper scraps? And that people will indiscriminately toss their used into either basket?

Is there anything worse than.....
Getting it on with the ol' lady, and as soon as you drop those panties your 3yr old walks in.......
Ok...
You're at a restaurant, you're already cranky (because guys get cranky when we don't eat for a few hours), and all you can think about is tucking in to the artery-clogging special you just ordered. When it arrives, your date goes "Mmm... that looks really good" and then does the frowny-face at her own plate. "I should've ordered that!"
You sigh, and tell her she's welcome to order one. "No, that's ok - I'll just share yours!" she chirps, irritatingly.
Or worse yet... while you're tearing into your steak, she stares longingly at you the entire time. When you ask what she's looking at, she scrunches up her nose and gives you the "You're cute when you eat!" bullshit.
Thankfully, my wife engages in neither of these extremely off-putting activities.
Bailey Guns
04-25-2013, 13:25
Does it irritate your wife when your date acts that way?
Lol. Yup - she gets the angriest look on her face... it must be because she finds it just as annoying as I do!
Is there anything worse than going to the fridge and realizing you are out of beer.....
Ok, this one takes the cake. I really can't think of anything worse... well actually- I had worse last night:
Nothing worse than going to the fridge and realizing you're not out of beer, but all that's left is sh*t beer... aka Tecate. And I f*cking hate Tecate! [Mad]
Hey now. Beer is beer. Any port in a storm. Tecate is the chubby girl at the bar who hits on you during your "release from 10 years in prison for aggravated assault" party. Definitely not your first choice when there's other tail to be had, but looks pretty fucking good in the absence of options.
I clearly didn't have enough sleep last night.

Gonna have to disagree... two things I don't do- Drink crap beer (Tin, that's directed at you too :D ), and bang heffers. Even after a dry spell with no leave for 18mos, then a 12 month deployment (count it 30 months without tail- not quite 10 years in prison, but close), I still didn't even entertain the notion of porking a porker; I am NEVER that desperate. [Coffee] And I still hate Tecate and will turn it down!

I still stand by my earlier comment about having to stop peeing mid stream.
Women who think being rude & angry is a good thing. The "Proud to be a b!tch" types.
Family members that are generally decent people, but are also lifelong Democrats and brainless liberals. I can't really tell my unwell 70 year old mother that she's an mindless idiot (because I still have a few manners left).
Coworkers loudly discussing politics.
Ex-spouses.

Oh just remembered one- The hardest part about not giving a shit is pretending you actually do give a shit- such as when a liberal opens their suck hole to spew some borderline part-retard, part-demented bullshit. Ya know, so you don't come off as being a rude asshole. [Flower]

You're just not resourceful enough... In my Army winter survival class those of us who smoked (former smoker here) weren't allowed to light up until we learned how to start a fire, without instructor assistance. Do you have any idea how frustrating it is to be on the verge of a nic-fit and you can't seem to get enough heat generated through friction? And we weren't allowed to use someone else's fire to light up. [panic]

The joking aside, I've taken people shooting on several occasions and only once did someone offer to pay me for ammo... I think I'm just going to say "If you want to come shooting, you have to bring bullets... otherwise, sorry, due to the increased prices and decreased supply, I can't afford to provide you with my ammo."
