Things that drive you nuts!!

[alxone]

People who drive on the interstate and don't use cruise control I have named this the speed up slow down game, drives me f'n nuts. 48000 miles of driving last year may have made me a little crazy but damn cruise control people learn it, live it, love it!

1. People who are unwilling to learn. I'm not talking about people who aren't interested in a certain topic, but people who really won't put in the effort to learn basic things. Do I care if you don't have a Bachelor's, Master's or Ph.D? NO! But if you're going to talk about our government, at least learn the basic principles that our government is built upon... Things like natural rights and social contracts. You don't have to read the Federalist Papers (although you should), just don't be ignorant.

2. One more thing that is semi-related: I HATE arguing about things on the internet. I hate arguments in general. I LOVE a well-thought out discussion, even if I don't agree with the topic or points the other person is making. If you want to have a discussion that others may benefit from, learn the basics of speech and debate. Understand what a logical fallacy is and avoid them (unless you're running for office... then logical fallacies are totally acceptable! ). Admittedly, I am sometimes guilty of this... I get all hot and bothered when someone (usually someone who is guilty of point 1 above) starts spewing offensive garbage and refuses to have a healthy discussion... I often fall right into their trap and then I look like the one who is arguing ignorantly.

People who use the word "irregardless". It's a hideous, grammatical hybrid abortion of two otherwise fine and useful words.

The good news: you're the first person in this thread to use that horrid word.

1. People who move my shit. I put something in one place (usually at the house) so it will remind me to do something. Then, when I forget to do it because the wife has "found a better place for it because that's not where it goes," it's now my fault for not doing whatever it was I had to do AND for leaving shit laying around.

2. Inflexibility. "Dear, let's go to Target and get some widgets." On the way back, I say, "Forgot, I need to stop by Sportsman's and get some ammo (you know, when they still had ammo)." She basically throws a fit, so, instead of being efficient and killing two birds with one stone, I have to drive her ass all the way home, then drive all the way back to Sportsman's again.

3. Blaming innanimate objects for the woes of society.

Hey, you know that old adage about how kids tend to grow into their "labels"? I gotta represent for my Engrish hobby every so often, just for flavor. (yes, I know "gotta" isn't a real word either, but it's so flexible... :-)

I used to have that very same problem with an ex-fiance of mine years ago. Decided she was a bad investment and had fortunately kept the receipt.

I hate people who stand in line at the grocery store and only start to get out their method of payment AFTER they've been told the total. Then they go for their purse(women usually do this) and rummage for money or their card. They've been standing there for ten minutes and only NOW believe they are going to have to pay for it. geeeze! Have you payment ready when the cashier is done, not AFTER, it really speeds things up.

I've probably mentioned it before, but people who drive around speed bumps. I'm trying to figure out which annoys me most, when people drive around speed bumps through parking spaces, or when they dive at 30 mph at the side walk. The ones hugging the sidewalk can't even avoid the speed bump on one half of the vehicle, and which part still goes over the bump? The part where the mouth breathing asshole sits.

Also, when people take candy out of a bowl of candy, unwrap it, and throw the wrapper back into the bowl. People do this at my office all the time. There are two trash cans at every single desk in my office. Not every single desk is occupied by a person, but there are still trash cans. Every meeting room, rest room, lunch room, and even the hallways have trash cans. There are more than twice as many trash cans as people in the office, and you literally cannot visit a room in the entire building that lacks a trash can, yet some people can't take their trash wherever they are heading? Blows my mind.
