Pet Peeves (MEGA THREAD)

[TomcoPDR]

I hate it when someone calls you on the phone and says: "Who's this?"

Maybe I'm over sensitive, but to me, they're the ones calling me, bothering me... so they should say something like: "hi, may I please speak to so and so"

I just (IMO) find it rude when someone does that calling someone else demanding an answer like that

I hate it when i finally start gettin my life back on track after a major set back another one comes and kicks my ass to the moon. I got a list that would make you cry. Im not bitching that my life sucks or anything, but it sure could stop making me go nowhere financially.

Big bump

- People who drag their feet, especially in the workplace. A guy sits in an office near me and I hear him drag his feet across the floor past me at least 10 times a day minimum. Driving me bonkers that I'm going to say something soon.

The ones that annoy me most often (I.e. daily basis) seem to be slow walkers in crowded areas (sidewalks, +15's, malls, etc.) and people who stand in the middle of an escalator so nobody can pass them.

Now that I've been a home owner for a few years my biggest one is people who use green space behind their house adjacent to the walking path as if it were their own yard. Every time I see people leave hockey nets, benches, toys, or digging their own flower beds I get irrationally angry. I don't know why it gets to me so much but something in me just snaps every time. Its not your fucking yard.

I get irrationally angry when someone pretends they own the street in front of their house. Also when anyone parks on the street in front of my house.

My answer to said dumb dumb is: You're calling me dude. You identify yourself dummy. It's basic etiquette for the one making the call to identify themselves first.

Cyclists in downtown who budge their way to the front on a red light and proceeds to become a pace car for all the vehicles behind them.

People who park on Center Street, whether its legal timing or not

Also permit only parking just off of center street / 4th street

If you're bumping this thread then I'm bumping this gem:

When you see somebody of the opposite sex that you used to know/still know and kind of had a thing for but aren't very well acquainted with and you do everything you can to not make it obvious that their sudden reappearance in your life makes you feel very awkward. This involves trying to appear to be reading the newspaper on the train while glancing up every once in a while just to check if they are still there. Then you notice that they moved and are looking right at you and notice that you looked right at the spot where they would have been and nowhere else. Then, they get off at the same train station as you and, what do you know, they go to the same end of the platform as well. Oh look, you have to follow her up the stairs. At this point, you're thinking "please don't look back and wonder why the eff I'm still following you," only to realize that somebody else of EXACTLY THE SAME NATURE is going in the direction that you planned to go to avoid making it appear as if you're stalking the first person.

FML.

Cyclists.

Yep. Too many reasons to list. The same irrational angriness applies to me in their situation, alot for no good reason. I can't help it.

Oh and people who walk on the street when there's a fucking sidewalk right next to them.

Also, just realized, that God damn skinpossible broad on the radio.

This x1200.

If youre a cyclist and you can stay ahead of me, then by all means, get ahead of me and we'll both get on with our lives.

However, if you squeeze past me then I get stuck behind you 10 seconds after the light turns green (cause I don't drive like an asshole and get my rocks off by having close brushes with cyclists), you can go eff yourself you self righteous narcissistic asshole.
