    Ditto . . . I tend to be a germ-a-phobe at the best of times, and some of the nastiest things I have ever seen have been in public restrooms.

    Another related: Guy goes into public or work men's room with manual flushing, but previous users don't flush as if it's supposed to flush itself (don't they flush at home?) .... and when guys use the bathroom as a library and don't flush once relieved and continue reading. Smelly......:rasberry

    Does this happen in public women's restroom?

    I don't think it does. I've been into women's restrooms before and they smell like flowers, seriously they smell better than my bedroom.

    Awe man, fake discovery Channel shows, when I saw the ad for Amish Mafia I puked a bit in my mouth.

    I swear some TV executives are laughing to themselves while they come up with these shows, the guy who came up with Carfella's must owe the Amish Mafia creator $5 or something for the worst TV show ever aired on a supposed documentary channel.

    Oh yeah I just posted a Fox news link:-D I'm over 30 so I think it's allowed now as I get bitter and twisted at the world around me.

    No I didn't. :p I told you not to post anymore stuff about killing people and other nasty things.

    And I will tell you that that annoys the crap out of me too. If you are not going to pass, get in the right lane.

    Ok I misread the ironic post you to wrote to me
    irony cause you told threatened me with banning(internet death) if I ....oh god, I dont even remember anymore...:wave


    Dang, I did it again...let me extrapolate

    you are going down a main road at 45mph, a turn lane(in the middle of the road) is added, so you can turn into a store on your left
    people driving 45 then BRAKE and slowly merge into the turn lane.... WHY ARE THEY BREAKING ON THE ROAD WHERE THE SPEED IS 45mph?
    They need to be IN THE TURN LANE then BRAKE....

    Which is different than what you are saying,
    you are saying there are at least 2 lanes and the left lanes are FAST LANES and if you arent going the fastest you can go IE SOMEONE IS BEHIND YOU, then you need to be in a different lane.

    People have told me they stay in the left lane because they are going the posted speed limit and they dont want to be an accomplice to someone speeding.
    I know thats a bunch of jibberjabber and the people going fast will just go around the right side of people if the left lane isnt clear.
    I can't stand people going around my right,
    I stay in my lane, if there are any cars around, I know Im a good driver, I just dont trust other people on the road to not hit me, so I avoid them

    I want to bring up people on bikes using the roads, I dont mind people on bikes using the roads, if they obey the street signs, which means you have to go the speed limit, if a bike can't do 25-45 on the street, then the bike needs to be NOT on the street..or maybe I'm just a lunatic who knows I'll get blamed if a biker hits my car, even if he loses control.

    eventually, Im gong to have to have cataract surgery, no wonder this text is so hard to see.

    Fred_G Heat packin' geek

    In many states, the left lane in the interstate is for passing only. As far as the bike on a street thing, there generally are no minimum speed on city streets, I do agree bikers should obey any other traffic laws.

    I hate the idot bikers that go the wrong way down the street.

    It was well worth your potential discomfort. :-D



    Annoyance:

    The people going through security lines in airports who STILL don't take off their shoes or empty their pockets before getting up to the detector. Come on! How long has it been that we've had to do that? Only 12 years or so?!
     
  15. Adrynalyne

    Adrynalyne Guest

    That is how it is here.

    you aren't supposed to hang out in the left lane.

    Interstate related:

    I missed my exit going home yesterday. We had a big storm shortly before.

    I just happened to look at oncoming traffic (there are trees and desert separating the two).

    There was a car doing a complete 360 in the middle of the interstate.

    So I exited and got back on to get off on my exit.

    There was a running wash on the interstate! The posted speed limit is 75mph! So the driver that lost control had panicked and slammed on their brakes in the middle of it.

    Which comes to my next annoyance: Incompetent people who do not have the foresight to build up around a wash knowing it can run over a high speed roadway and drag debris and water on it.

    Idots. They are everywhere. :-D

    How about customers that don't know what they want. We had a guy order a couple of 4'x8' coroplast signs. He specifically asked for coroplast. So, he comes to pick them up, and said, "I wanted coroplast, not this plastic stuff."

    They got my order wrong at Arby's yesterday. But that was cool, I got an upgraded order, they charged me the price for my order. Free dessert, and a Beef and Cheddar instead of just a regular roast beef.

    Yep, they are out there... :confused

    People who refuse to answer their phones, instead screening them with the answering machine. And who then do not check the answering machine to see if someone has called and left a message.

    Says the woman who finally managed to get home from work a little over two hours after getting out having paid $20 for a taxi, because I kept calling for a ride and getting the machine. :mad :***
     
  18. Rikky

    Rikky Wile E. Coyote - One of a kind

    Haha never call me, I wait until the person tried to ring a second time before even moving toward the phone.

    So I know they're serious:-D
     
  19. Sgt. Tibbs

    Sgt. Tibbs Ultra Geek

    I'm actually OK with the whole screening calls thing. It's the refusing to see if the machine is blinking I have issues with. Especially when she knew I was at work and would be calling for a ride home. She actually said when I finally walked in the door (at 6:05, having gotten out at 4:00), "Why did you pay for a ride instead of calling me? I've been home all afternoon." I'm sure I'm more irritable because it's over 100F with the heat index, but seriously...I had to talk myself out of just hitting her. :boxing

    i gotta go the other way on this one

    I get annoyed with Im talking to someone, especially at the CUSTOMER SERVICE desk, and the phone rings and they answer it, or when Im with family/friends and in the middle of a conversation and they answer their phone to just shoot the breeze.
    I will say something if I am driving and they are in the car with me.

    Otherwise, when the phone rings or the doorbell rings, I may not answer it at all.
    I use called ID and the peephole to see if its someone I want to deal with
    if not, I'll go back to something else, like staring at a blank wall/mediating or watching cartoons.

    On the flip side, people/companies who have no clue what a "DO NOT CALL" list is.

    The only thing worse than a telemarketing a--hole is a robocall. If a politician wants a guarantee I will not vote for him/her, all they have to do is call me with a recording.

    Does anyone else feel the annoyance of having heartstrings pulled by panhandlers?
    Ive done good things for people I don't know, whom I find on the street just because I'd want them/someone to do the same for me
    in the last year I've
    -was about to give a dude $10, at a gas station after he who told some sob story, but then told him no, when his voice changed, his tone changed(I was counting the singles I had in my wallet and he saw that I had 2 twenties) so he said, "how bout you just give me $20, so I dont have to ask anyone else
    I shut my wallet and said I gotta go. and I left
    -I asked and gave a indian man a ride from him sitting outside a grocery store to home about 3 miles away, in the rain,(I approached him, he did not ask)

    -I was asked by a couple and gave them a ride to their home from a walmart and I felt so sorry for them, I bought them some mcdonalds...which was really funny to me, because in the car, the redheaded girl(spitting image of an ex of mine) told me she had 3 kids at home and when I offered to get some breakfast for them/their kids, the guy only got food for both of them.....

    I have also given rides to 2 guys Ive seen walking from their cars to a gas stations

    Maybe I have a death wish, or maybe I feel like Im being punished in my life for not helping others, or maybe I'm such a fudging lucky guy, I try to give back to the world
    (I didnt mean to write "fudging", but the F word I wanted to use is a "bad" word and would be censored, so I have just fooled most of you thinking Id use the word fudge, you smart guys know I would never use fudge, I wanted to write, "pot brownies")
    Reality is, Im just bored with my life, I crave the socialization that comes from helping people.

    sorta the reason why you wont go to movies alone, but you go with almost anyone you can.

    when I see someone sitting in a wheelchair, or standing on the street corner with a nicely lettered sign asking for money?>
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPH4jl5kGp4

    I get annoyed by it, I get annoyed by the legal system in the US that allows celebrities to spend little/no time in jail even though they get long sentences

    I get annoyed by people who won't wait in traffic, instead the get on the shoulder and go around everyone who is taking turns to make merge, and then someone ALLOWS the cheater to blend in.
    wtf?

    Plastic surgery for vanity.

    I'm pretty sure it's impossible to do good facial surgery, not only do they obviously look like they've had surgery even when they have just one face or eye lift they look ridiculous not better.The thing that annoys me the most though is that the doctors and people around them must convince them they look awesome and have queues of young girls/guys wanting the same.

    If they want to know how they'll look after their surgery just punch them a few times in the lips and cheeks till they swell, put a couple of rubber bands at the back of the head fixed to the ears to tighten the face then stand them in front of a train speeding toward them until scared to death and take a photo.

    the mekanic Major Mekanical Geek

    Let's see now...


    Expensive cars being driven poorly.

    People who don't know where they are/going, drive like a snail crawls, and refuse to pull over and figure it the :*** out.

    Slower traffic refusing to keep right.

    Bicyclists who blow stop signs, red lights, and ride ON the white line.

    Cyclists, joggers/walkers and roller bladers who don't roll single file, and especially those who roll down the street three or four wide.

    Illegal U-turns on a four, or six lane highway.

    Failure to merge at highway speed.

    Cellphone glued to a driver's ear, especially when they are incapable of "multi-tasking".

    And last, but certainly not least persons who have too large of a vehicle to accommodate their skill level.

    :mad

    :-D

    You know the biggest night time annoyance for me is the Dam dear,

    I have not hit any body else car in over 10 years.I hit more dear in the last 10 years which most of the time the dear only hit tiny bit where i could fix it.

    3 months ago i hit a dear on Rout 8 doing 30mph when i was about to turn on a road came out of no where.

    It took out my left head light ripped off part of that front bumper,And the hood was lifted up and i could barely open my left door.The left fender was push far enough the door barely opened.

    I am lucky that the air bags did not go off they cost 600$ each the damage was 2,200$.

    I have geico and i tell you what i am glad they have renters insurance.I had to rent a car for 2 weeks.
