What drives you nuts, but probably shouldn't?

I noticed today at work that the ink cartridges were not in any order. I get so annoyed by this, I ended up reorganizing them. I don't know why this makes me crazy, but it does. Who else has things like this?

When people use my pens that are in my holder on my desk, and when they are done, they throw them back on my desk instead of putting them back where they were before.

I like to be organized!

Co-workers who ask if they can interrupt your copying job since their's is just one or two pages, then they make multiple copies, stapled, and don't clear the settings.

People leaving shoes in the middle of the floor or where people can trip over them, instead of on a shoe rack, up against a wall, or SOMETHING. That drives me nutty.

People leaving cups or fast food trash all over the place! Ugh. I am a tidy person so any kind of clutter drives me up a wall!

Oh, also when people make ignorant comments about cats! (How they are standoffish, not smart or loving, boring, etc)

I'm a clean freak too so i'll go around organizing everything, but not too obsessively. I also can't stand (and no offense to anyone) people biting their nails or smoking around me. I'm super allergic to smoke ( i have astmah) and i think it's inconsiderate of others who choose to smoke to expose people who don't choose to smoke to second hand smoke. Humm, i also can't stand people who don't turn on their blinkers before making a turn.---soo annoying, Memphis drivers are the worst! Once again, no offense to anyone, those are just my personal pet peeves.

If I lose a pen it drives me crazy, but it shouldn't. It's just a pen.

People in the turn lane (and I'm not behind them fortunately) who totally miss the turn signal. It doesn't affect me but does it bug me.

Having to bag up the trash no matter how overflowing it is. It shouldn't annoy me because I know that Earl won't do it - he does the same thing that was on The Simpsons, as long as it can be balanced precariously on top the trash isn't full.
So I know that when the kitchen trash gets full it's all on me, but it still bugs me because it shouldn't be.

Ok, I think this one is legitimate, but is on my mind today. I hate having to use a dirty bathroom. Our cleaning service at work has been doing a very bad job & I actually spent time this morning cleaning off all the surfaces in the bathroom because I couldn't take it anymore. I'm sure my boss would just love to know that I'm spending time doing something the cleaning service should do, but I couldn't take it anymore.

People talking all through my lesson at school when I'M trying to learn - I'm in a "cabbage" English class and those kids get away with murder. I've got to pass everything in English so I can get into Uni if I wish.

Well, something that bothers me that shouldn't is when the vacuum cleaner fails to pick up something. I end up picking it up and then throwing it back in front of the vacuum cleaner to try and MAKE it pick it up.

Ooo...when shoes are left out just a little bit from under the table. For some reason I always find them and trip on them.

When people talk in class, sigh or bounce thier pens! I dont care if they're bored; find something quiet to do!

When José says he'll take out the trash but waits until the morning so when I to throw something away it's more than full! I hate trash spilling out!

I hate it when I mis-place my pens. I need pens on my desk...who knows what I want to write down?
