What drives you nuts, but probably shouldn't?

Haha, yup if it's just you it's not a problem! However we've got 4 people in my house, and my brother wears a size 15 shoe - and he's the worst culprit! I can't even begin to tell you how many times those beasts have nearly killed me

I hate people who drive in the fast lane and don't go fast.

I also hate in the bathroom at work when people just balance a new roll of TP on the roller, but don't take 2 seconds to mount it on the roller. I do it every time! Another thing I do is smush down the garbage. I hate all the paper towels overflowing and nobody will smush it down.

Yeah me too!!!

YES!!!! I hate that!

Oh too many to count! I'm so obsessive about stupid things! One I can think of right off the top of my head....Brand new white shoes getting scuffed for the first time, man I hate that! But they're SHOES for goodness sake, they're supposed to get scuffed! (I still hate it...

)

Ok, your all going to hate me for this one but...

I HATE tourists in London! Whenever I am trying to go to work or come back from work there is a surge of tourists stopping suddenly in the street, trying to get me to take there picture, posing for pics in the middle of pedestrian crossings, going the wrong way down the esculators etc..

It makes it so much harder to get to work!

I hate this! People who get into the far left lane just because they're not going to exit till outside of the city or because they're going 60! The left lane is the passing lane...not a personal lane for those who go a few miles over the speed limit. It seems like everyone does this on the 2-lane tollway, it's so frustrating to have to slow down to weave in and out of two lanes!

actually, it's not always designated as a 'passing lane' only. but it seems like some people are taking it upon themselves to 'police' the rest of us by refusing to move over when it's possible. i've even heard some people say, 'well, if i'm going the speed limit, i shouldn't have to move over.' that's true - but wouldn't you rather not have an angry person [or people] driving at high speeds right on your bumper?

Once when I was in university I put my pen down for a second and couldn't find it ever again, drove me crazy looking for it (all the time I spent looking for it I could have gone upstairs and got another pen and half my work done) that pen never did show up!

The copier is also one of my pet peeves, as well as the workers who think it is ok to use the last roll of TP and not replace it or even worse take it home / out on the trucks with them so you go in and there isn't any

Oooh another pet peeve of mine is when co workers leave hair in the sink. we have one in particular that does this A LOT. Its disgusting. We find her hair everywhere. Makes me want to

dawnofsierra · May 4, 2006

Open drawers or cabinets drive me nuts. It doesn't make much sense, but they just need to be closed in my mind, and I'm compelled to close it regardless of the situation or location (within reason, of course) such as work or visiting a close relation's home. I also cannot stand a full waste basket! How difficult is this? When it gets partially full, take it out!

katachtig · May 4, 2006

People who hold conversations in the middle of an intersection of the hallway. You can't go around them and are forced to walk through the middle of their conversations.

krazy kat2 · May 4, 2006

I hate it when people drive the wrong way in a parking lot! Are they too stupid to read an arrow?
I hate it when people have to line up across the lanes in a parking lot, instead of single file so you can get around them. They usually all have cell phones stuck to the side of their heads and can't be bothered with actually watching where they are going. Don't these people ever shut up?

Gee, I guess I have parking lot issues.

lionessrampant · May 4, 2006

Not having a dishwasher!!! Ugh! I HATE not having a dishwasher OR a garbage disposal! And it makes me sound so prissy and spoiled but I loathe doing dishes and having stinky trash!

It's ok. I hate tourists in Chicago too....they just SAUNTER! I've got places to GO PEOPLE, please don't stop dead in your tracks when I'm 3 feet behind you to gawk at the El! That was my train you just made me miss when I couldn't stop fast enough and smashed into you!

If I come to London, I'll be good, I promise

lilleah · May 4, 2006

Well some things drive me nuts....but shouldnt.

Like HOW COME everysingle time I wash my car, it rains the next day.

And the day after I scrub the floor on my hands and knees, somebody's Just GOTTA come in muddy/snowy/dirty shoes.

And my fishtank, it drives me crazy when people touch it. I dont know why. I suppose cuz it's like my artwork or something.

lil_axl_gurl · May 4, 2006

Something that really bugs me but really probably shouldn't because it just makes me feel greedy is when I go all the way to make sure my friends get a gift from me for the birthday/easter/xmas/etc. but never really get anything in return! It just really urks me that I'll go out of my way to buy them a gift and they can't even get me something for my birthday or for christmas! The ONLY time that has happened was when my friend from Canada just sent me an out of the blue gift which even costs extra money for shipping! It cost her over 30 dollars to send me 2 dvds! My friends here have never done anything like that!

I know I probably shouldn't feel this way because it is very greedy but yeah..friendships should be 2 way streets.

vampirecat · May 5, 2006

Oh there's loads of things. Does that make me a grumpy old woman ?

School run mum (and dad, mustn't discriminate

)

Next doors kids chucking their sweet wrappers in our garden

People who use there car horns 'cause they cant be bothered to get out the car to knock on a door.

Coming in to work to find all kinds of stuff spread across MY desk

(dont work every day so others tend to use it when i am not there).

Bugs stuck on my bike screen (its a devil of a job to get them off)

That wasp that stung me last week while out on my bike

....and on....and on

Ok i need to lie down in a dark room for a while now

I definitely agree on the car horn business. What happen to good manners and respect for others in the neighborhood?
