Only ten, huh? ;) Not necessarily in order, they're all about equal:
1. Ignorance masquerading as knowledge.
2. Bad drivers.
3. Bad spelling/grammar.
4. Closed-mindedness.
5. Stereotypes, and the people who propagate them.
6. People who jump to conclusions without any base on reality.
7. People who say something horribly offensive, and then follow it with "no offense", like THAT helps.
8. Trying to get the last bit of toothpaste, conditioner, hair gel, etc. out of the tube.
9. People who just don't get that there's a time and place to run your mouth, and when and where that might be.
10. Monday Morning Quarterbacks.
1. Spyware
2. My computer not working properly
3. slow internet connection
4. France
5. Terrorists
6. Bad drivers
7. Snowbirds
8. Our Sheriff here in Maricopa County (what an embarrasment)
Embarrasment (http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/0616stingbotched16.html)
9. Heat during the Summer
10. me sometimes:D:D
i could only come up with five (and i thought about it for ages lol) so here they are).
1) agressive drunks (cos i doesnt matter how skilled you are you cant 'talk them down')
2) sand in my bikini bottoms.
3) running outa milk for my morning coffee (read kids who put empty containers back).
4) people 'playing' with my puter without asking (why do people think thats ok to do? if my hubby spent $600 on a new tool of some kind no-one would dream of playing with all the settings or testing it out to see how it works etc. if i spent $600 on a car it would be called autotheft!)
5) phone sales and spam.
if i think of more ill let you know.
1. Liberals, when they speak.
2. People who don't drive the way I think they should.
3. The terms "open-minded" and "close-minded" ; which actually falls under #1 because
it seems that liberals are the ones who use them to describe people who don't think
the way they do.
4. People who use cell phones while driving or in public places.
5. People who like to place the blame everywhere but where it belongs. Oops, it seems
this one falls under #1 also.
6. People who don't know the difference between constitutional republic(which this country
is) and democracy. Most justices fall in that category. Along with those who still
claim that Gore won.
7. Mosquitoes. There must be a million in my yard.
8. People who can't read the Constitution. For example: The words "separation" or
"church" cannot be found any where in it.
9. People who come up to the door at my store and want in after we're closed.
10. People who go off on a tangent and don't know when to stop.:)
oh yeh. i forgot.
6) mosquitoes.
1. Almost everything at one time or another
2-10,, refer to number 1.
In no particular order
1. Crabgrass/weeds/fire ants/yardwork.
2. Sunny & dry all week, then rainy on the weekend when I need to be dealing with #1. Week after week.
3. Dishonest self-serving civil servants and politicians, of whatever stripe and level. No party has a monopoly.
4. Mistaking our republic for a democracy, and not understanding the difference.
5. Attempting to spread democracy around the world. Democracy isn't what makes a country free or successful, and it's not what we have.
6. Officials that can't pronounce nuclear. (It's nuke-lee-ur, not nuke-you-lur, dimbulbs. It's not that tough.)
7. Lack of accountability at the top. No matter how badly they screw up, almost nobody gets fired, penalized, demoted, arrested. All signs of aristocracy, which we supposedly don't have either.
8. Revolving door encarceration for life-long predators, that puts them back on the streets to prey on the innocent again. And again. And again....
9. Educational policy that has crossed the line into criminal negligence and child neglect. Kids 100 years ago in one-room schoolhouses got a better education than most kids get today. Much more cheaply, too.
10. General apathy.
6. Officials that can't pronounce nuclear. (It's nuke-lee-ur, not nuke-you-lur, dimbulbs. It's not that tough.)
.
Well, I pronounce it nuke-lee-ur.:p
Oh, nevermind, I'm not an official. Or am I?:confused:
An official what?
8. Trying to get the last bit of toothpaste, conditioner, hair gel, etc. out of the tube.
I feel your pain. I hate that too. It drives me crazy.
Well, I pronounce it nuke-lee-ur.:p
Oh, nevermind, I'm not an official. Or am I?:confused:
An official what?
You're an official Major Geek, for the last 50 posts or so. And what geek of any stipe would mis-pronounce nuclear? :D
Oops. I misread your post and got it backwards. I guess I had it right in the first place. But I never know if I am pronouncing words correctly, since I grew up in Tennessee.:)
People who don't admit to something and let someone else take the fall. That is, by far, my biggest pet peeve.
It annoys me when I'm talking to someone online and they put their away message on without saying "i'll be back" or something.
*screams*
I also hate it when people sign off without saying goodbye.
Phones
IM's
People who have a problem with me having a life and signing off IM without saying good-bye :p
Are you supposed to say goodbye to everybody when you log off? Man these rules are tough to learn:p
I'm gonna start a favorite pie string.
Its rude when people do it. Its one of my biggest pet peeves.
10. People who hate.
I hate people who hate.:mad:
racism
prejudice
the DMV
slow drivers in the fast lane
people that dont put new toilet paper on the roll when it runs out :mad:
car alarms
when the supermarket only has one checkstand open with 40 people waiting in line.
getting taunted by 10 year olds in counter-strike :D
the question: "A/S/L?"
gas prices
i decided not to include anything about our current government because it would have taken up most of my top 10 :D
In no particular order:
1. Rude people
2. Bad manners
3. Tailgaters
4. Our high desert afternoon winds. Every day. still at least they are reliable unlike #5
5. People who are ALWAYS late
6. Terrorists or any other people that encroach on whatever rights I may have at a
particular time.
7. Thieves
8. Flies
9. News anchors that don't know when to shut up so fill live coverage with babble.
10. Enviromentalists who let half our state burn and people lose lives and homes because they wouldn't let the forests be thinned.
hmm... top 10... things i hate.... hmm....
1. FWD's (especially those chain letters)
2. ppl that IM me while i'm playing a game and it screws up my game (i know i should just put up an away msg or something but still, it gets annoying)
3. dial-up (although my only internet, it still sux)
4. pop-ups, adware, spyware, viruses, trojans, worms, etc...
5. english K-nig-hts (bit of Monty Python)
6. getting up at 6 for class
7. the game "elf-bowling," those poor elves....
8. the "orlando bloom" fad, or ne fad based on a person (male, or female)
9. crappy movies
10. the way food looks so much better in commercials than at the restaurant
oh and computer illiterate ppl! idk if i can add that in newhere....

I've seriously thought about combining face recognition software with a motorized toilet seat to automatically adjust for the entire family. Would solve one of the most common irrelevant gripes in western civilization. I'm stumped over how to have it determine when the guys actually need the seat down though. Still working....
I guess we could all go back to outhouses and sitting on rough wood planks with a hole in the center (I remember those), but would be tough to convince most folks to re-convert. Outhouses.... now THERE's something to gripe about. :D

9. Neighbor kids who set off fireworks year around

Hey Sixgun!! You know,, last time you got bumped off dialup, I was finishing up cluttering your desk, when I happened to look over your shoulder, so I called you on the phone about a great informercial that had a guy whining about a slow driver,,but you didn't want to gossip,, so I hung up on you, just as your computer had a bluescreen. How are things??
....
Thats disgusting. And people should have enough consideration, and manners to put the toilet seat lid down.People should have the sense to look before they sit down anywhere, especially the commode.

So you're the culprit Dale...:p
Just the usual daily stuff...work, eat, sleep (not much) and paybills.
The only thing new is my youngest boy having ear surgery this past Wed having a hole repaired in his right ear from having tubes removed after having them in for several years...one healed the other didn't. Would of been on line sooner to mention it but just replaced the modem lastnight after being down for few days.

Ouch! Hope the surgery goes well. Should be fairly minor, but any surgery is a trauma for a kid.

The surgery was quite sucessful. They made an incision behind his ear to get a graph and to have better access to the hole. His only gripe is not being allowed to go swimming for a couple of weeks.

So, which is it ladies?
Wet seat or wet seat?:D
Around here, we not only put the seat down, but we close the lid. Which makes it fair for everyone because everyone has to do something before they may use the toilet. Also, cats have a habit of falling into open toilets, so it's better for everyone if the lid is closed. :)

Excellent advise re. the cats................:D

7. most people
8. most things people do
9. most things people say
10. seriously though- some days- EVERYTHING bugs the $%^ out of me!
RV's......that go 50mph in a 70mph on a two lane country road while your trying to get to town.
Then when you finally get to pass them and you shoot their tires out they call the sheriff.
I hate it when that happens.
:D

6. Songs covered by manufactured pop groups/artists
7. FWDs which I get sent hundreds at a time by all my girly friends
8. People who belive what they say at the bottom of FWDs about sending them to as many people as possible, and can't see past the reason WHY it says that.
9. Bands that are labeled "revolutionary" and "extremly original" when all they are doing is repeating another original band in the past. Case example : Funeral for a Friend.
10. Comments from theater goers about the show that don't say anything of what they thought about the show. e.g. "We had great seats, we saw everything!"
Number 11
You are very thirsty, and fill a glass with ice,, pour soda into it out of a 2 liter bottle. It foams up, so you wait until the foam goes down,, continue filling it, waiting, filling it. When it finally is full,, you take a drink of this ice cold stuff,, and it's totally flat. Not a bubble or fizz to be found. What's up with that??

Either the glass is comtaminated with something that sets off the bubbles, or you're pouring wrong. Tilt the glass over and pour slowly down the side (inside, that is) of the glass to minimize agitation and foaming.
As well... pour a little soda in the glass and swill it round before pouring. That fills up the microscopic tubes, which is where the gas is collected, and then released (thats why you see bubbles coming from the side of the glass).

my sil (who had a blooming career at A&W) said you're supposed to stick your finger in the glass when pouring. Failing that you can pour over the back of a spoon-that principle works for making hot Irish whiskeys, the spoon stops the glass from cracking. See, you learn something new every day ;)
sorry x, it's Sister in Law :p
I've got another one"
People who don't clean up or pick up after themselves
Especially when you go camping or something and have to use the showers etc and they are nasty coz the piggys before couldn't wipe counters down or throw away their own trash. Same in fast food restaurants, take up the tray and your trash. These people always make their responsibilities into someone elses problem. LIke borrowing your car and not putting gas in before they return it.

Oh yeah, Things that "get on my nerves":-
1) About 95% of humanity, 95% of the time.
2) Opinions expressed with great conviction and emotion - and equally little knowledge and self-control.
3) Parasites (The two legged variety), that think you are a free taxi; free Loan Office, free technician and Santa Clause all combined - and then abuse you for the privilege! :mad:
4) Great ignorance, combined with great arrogance to boot.
5) People who think the world doesn't exist beyond their own immediate needs/gratifications.
6) Those that think that rules apply to everyone - except them. Especially when EVERYONE thinks that!
7) Power/control freaks - especially the governmental kind.
8) Those that consider coming from a deprived upbringing and hard life gives them an excuse to be an ignorant/arrogant criminals themselves.
9) The fickle and the insincere - that "flap like the wind" when it suits them. Like the world only exists for their own childish, trivial whims.
10) Most of all people that think because THEY hold a set of beliefs/values that this gives them licence to do whatever they deem fit to make everybody else think/act exactly as they do!! :mad:
There...I'm done now. I guess I could have made it 100 things that get on my nerves. But that's just for starters.
...Have a nice day! :)
As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly, and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggresive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare your self to others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble, it is a real possesion in the changing fortunes of time.
Excersise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery, but let that not blind you to what virtue there is. Many persons strive for high ideals and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be your self. Especially do not fiegn affection. neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly to the councel of the years, gracefully surendering the things of youth. Nurture stength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune, but do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars. You have a right to be here, and whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you perceive him to be. And whatever your labours and aspirations, keep peace with your soul. For all its sham and drudgery, and broken dreams, it's still a beautiful world. Be carefull. Strive to be happy.

ps. 'Desiderata found on the side of St pauls church, 1692. Anon.

I think it was written by a man named Max Ehrmann in the 1920s.
Edit: found on google:
"Around 1959, the Rev. Frederick Kates, the rector of St. Paul's Church in Baltimore, Maryland, used the poem in a collection of devotional materials he compiled for his congregation. (Some years earlier he had come across a copy of Desiderata.) At the top of the handout was the notation, "Old St. Paul's Church, Baltimore A.C. 1692." The church was founded in 1692. [1]
As the material was handed from one friend to another, the authorship became clouded. Copies with the "Old St. Paul's Church" notation were printed and distributed liberally in the years that followed. It is perhaps understandable that a later publisher would interpret this notation as meaning that the poem itself was found in Old St. Paul's Church, dated 1692. This notation no doubt added to the charm and historic appeal of the poem, despite the fact that the actual language in the poem suggests a more modern origin. The poem was popular prose for the "make peace, not war" movement of the 1960s."

Little packs of paper that aren't even big enough to scribble 2 words on, and each sheet has a strip of glue from Hell on them.
I think they are called Sticky Notes, or something. What a waste of trees they are.

laughing my sox off. i had to look that up. 's ok. your forgiven.
In order.
1). Rasing my taxes and getting less than I was.
2). Rasing the gasoline taxes to build new roads and upkeep on the old roads.
3). Orange barrels.
4). Driving down the roads with the orange barrels.
5). Watching them tear up the roads.
6). Watching the taxpayers dollars going to waste because 9/10 of the workers are watching me drive down the road with the orange barrels after they tore up the roads and they are in no hurry to fix such roads.
7). Seeing state workers feet out the window at all hours of the day while they are supposed to be fixing the roads.
8). People who drive on said roads under repair that need to be in front of you while they are under a yield sign.
9). Rasing my taxes and getting less than I was.
10). Rasing the gasoline taxes to build new roads and upkeep on the old roads.
I just found out what LMAO means.....filthy mouth kids:)
Still cyphering on IMHO...got some theories though........
some one may have told you but here you go-- In My Humble Opinion
1. People who think they can rewrite history to suit their purposes.
2. People who think they repeat past mistakes and come with a different results.
3. People who don't do the job they were assigned, elected, volunteered, or are paid to do.
4. Drivers whose focus is on other things than driving. Drivers who can't drive.
5. People who talk but cannot listen.
Basically, I don't hate anybody because it's just not worth it ("He who goes on the path of vengeance had best bring two coffins"-Confucius). But since the thread topic was "......what gets on your nerves".
very good MR pewty! i posted it because i was saddened by all the 'i hate this kinda person' or 'i hate that kinda person.'......and yes i guess i am an aging hippy. aloha
Yeah, I have a copy of Desiderata hanging next to me in the computer room....and the toilet! ;) Words of wisdom - regardless of when the were written or rewritten, as the case may be.
I remember my (Hippy) collage years in Caltech, Calif. in the seventies very well. ;)
1. American Idol
2. radio stations that play a song 20 times a day, for 2 months straight...thanks for ruining that song for me...appreciate it
3. people who weave in and out of traffic...only I can do that
4. people who accelerate really fast when the light turns green...only I can do that
5. people who stop to let someone pull in front of them.
6. people who stop traffic to let someone drive through the lanes
7. people who stop and wave me through, even though they don't have a stop sign to stop at
8. people who do not know who has the right of way (pretty much sums up 5-7)
9. popups
10. the OU Sooners (that should be #1)
1. Animal Rights Activist
2. Warm Beer
3. Low lifes who write viruses and spyware
4. Foreigners who complain about the policies of The United States and offer no alternatives.
5. US citizens who complain about the policies of The United States and dont vote.
6. People who give bad advice to children.
7. People who hurt old folks.
8. People who do not donate to charity and clearly can.
9. Liars.
10. People who hate.
So it's alright to hate Animal Rights Activists/People who write viruses and spyware/Foreigners who complain about US policy/non-voting citizens who complain abotu US policy/etc. etc. because it's justified by your beliefs? Would that not then justify radicals around the world?
It's still more creative than my lame-o nick! :D
What was that you say?

Vlad, you're a smart kid. There's not doubt about it. But you still have many years ahead of you to learn the subtleties involved in things like this. This is something that cannot be taught.
So it's alright to hate...who said anything about hate? i thought this was things that annoy us? if he hates those things, then by then end of his list, he is a hypocrite, b/c #10 is hate. i bet if you ask him about the things he hates, you'll get an entirely different list...i know my list would be different...

Case study 1: coffee pot on the coffee machine. The one job it has to do is collect the coffee underneath, and pour it into a mug. But when you try and pour it, coffee goes everywhere!!!! Why!? WHY?!?!?!
Case study 2: Shower product holder. Made from bent chrome plated steel rods about 3mm diameter. Great, I can put all my shampoo and stuff in it. BUT try and take one out, and they all fall out the sides because there is nothing to stop them!! And then, if thats not bad enough, once this has happened to about 3 bottles, its unbalanced and so tips the other way, making the rest of them fall out!!! WHY??!?

Having something scanned at a store, and having the price come up wrong...Then the clerk muttering under their breath because I make them go and check the price
As a retail store clerk I can tell you that the reason it pisses them off is because their performance rating suffers because you're bitching about a 3 cent difference on a can of peas and it clogs the line behind you.
1. They don't own the place, they didn't put the price in the computer, they get paid to scan the item and take your cash, go find a manager to bitch at.
2. 9 out of 10 customers that pull this crap usually make up some outragous price like $2 instead of the $10 it costs cause they're trying to cheat us.
3. If it bothers you that much, go find a store that never makes a pricing mistake and never has any crooked customers trying to get free shit, bet you can't find any.

BTW, he told me he was sorry for skipping out on all the things we were supposed to do.
Teachers that keep calling complaining that the network is down when there isn't anything we can do about it. District office did a major core switch upgrade over the weekend. Everything is hosed and there is no solution in sight. They may be rolling back to the old equipment tonight, but that means everything tonight is toast as well and more complaining im sure. sigh...
Just hate it when my web server is going really slowly when I'm updating my site!!!

The TOP 10 things that get on my nerves (not in order)
1) People who make me repeat myself.
Does this include people with a hearing loss?

The top ten things, not in order, the first that comes to mind. Is the way society has become. And the importance of more and more material things. The total disrespect towards human beings each other.
AliWiseman
06-27-05, 20:00
1: Smoking
2: Chewing Gum
3: Being called "Babe"!
4: Understanding why if heat cannot traverse through a vacume, then how can the sun heat the earth
5: Motorway teapots that are metal and conduct heat, making them unpickable upable!
6: Not being top at pool on the arcade
7: Questions people ask, like when you say "I can't think of his name", someone says... "Who?"... aaaaarrrg!!
8: Differentiation by religion, race, or creed.
9: People who eat eggs within 20 feet of me!
10: 900 cable channels, all repeats or ropey old pap!
lol.. actually.... being called Alaster, Alisdair Alestar etc etc should be in there too. Its pronounced Alistair, its spelt Alistair. If you want to alter the letters in my name, then be aware that i shall see this as an OK to do the same back lol!

That's never happened to me before.
people who actually think that american political partys are different? :eek:
4: Understanding why if heat cannot traverse through a vacume, then how can the sun heat the earth
Ah, but heat energy can travel through vacuum. It just can't heat it up, since vacuum is the absence of matter (mostly). Radiant heat energy is electromagnetic energy in the infrared frequency range.
Now you're down to nine gripes. ;)
I hate it when people don't put the toilet seat down. :eek:
I hate it even more when the leave it down in the first place before using the toilet :eek:
1) Rude people
2) People with "old" money who think they are somehow smarter then everyone else, even though their great granddad made the dough and they themselves haven't worked a day in their lives. This is somewhat mitigated by the sad fact that the worse specimens of this ilk are really very sad souls and prone to suicide.
3) People who use old, prone, and specimen in the same paragraph :p
4) Days when you know a word is spelled right but it just LOOKS wrong - and you must finally drag out the Websters . . .
5) This little cooling fan in my external hard drive which makes a horrible whirring sound . . .
6) Manufacturers who make the little cooling fans in external hard drive enclosures very, very hard to unplug . . . ;)
7) Static electricity . . . except when the cat decides to get your attention by licking you :D
8) Waking up and finding the aforementioned cat drinking out of my bedside water glass . . . ("This is the first time you've done this, right?").
9) Figuring out how to make a virtual CD drive on your computer, and your wife not thinking it's at all cool . . .
10) The aforementioned wife not understanding that, yes, we DO need more computer stuff . . .
Been away a while....man, this thread grew quick. Well...here goes.....
1. People who hijack others threads with meaningless drivel
2. People who post excessively and relentlessly, despite the fact they have nothing interesting to add to a thread
3. Finding the cat puked on the carpet when I get up in the morning
4. Intolerant and judgemental people
5. My ex
6. My husband's ex
LOL......I'm getting "tongue in cheek" now, so I'll stop ;)
How about a thread for the top 10 things we love???? Fascinates me how so many of us posted that we hate whiners and then proceeded to whine about 20 things that get on our nerves ;)
