This person (insert name) annoys you because....

motc7 annoys me because... he used 4 period stops instead of 3 :-D

 

Delusional 2nd Technicians who think that they're just one test away from commanding their own ship, when in reality he's just a smeghead ahead of 3rd Technician. Annoying but in a humorous way.

 

Ace Rimmer wannabes.....disgusting people.

People who spam my inbox with pictures of pussies rolleyes




I prefer pictures of doggies :wave

 

Oh, yeah I see that now.

 

Wow - didn't see that one coming! roflmao

Their delusions of grandeur is a dead giveaway

And, spammers/spambots who treat a forum like eBay

 

Good-effing-god-YES please learn to keep up with the changes in the industry you are supposed to be an expert in!!!

I may be slightly frustrated by the complete lack of understanding of reality that so many of my customers and coworkers seem to embrace as a natural part of life... :-o

 

People in positions of power who can not admit to a mistake and then try to pass the blame on to a junior employee.

Politicians who think it is a private club.

In our city the mayor (130.000 euros) is also a member of parliament (85.000 euros) and is also a top lawyer in the judicial system ( god knows how many euros), there is no way he can do all three jobs correctly and he is not alone as most of the mayors in Belgium are also members of the Parliament or senate.

Anyone who says words like "noah" instead of "no" or "guitarah" instead of "guitar"...

That, and anyone who pronounces "law" as "lar"...

:mad

 

or instead of saying, "no" they saw "naw" as if they are part horse---which might be racist to horses?

I don't comment on people who do the following, but it is annoying to hear how stupid someone is when they say:
-"I could care less"
to indicate that have dont care at all. My issue is that is NOT what they are saying. They are saying they do care, since they CAN care LESS

-Good Vs Well
Best summed up from 30Rock,
"Superman does good, you do well"
http://data.grammarbook.com/blog/adjectives-adverbs/good-v-well/

People mix this up a lot, but Im sure those people are all over and not found primarily in one socioeconomic caste.

Good is an adjective while well is an adverb answering the question how.

Examples:
You did a good job.
Good describes job, which is a noun, so good is an adjective.

You did the job well.
Well answers how the job was performed.

Rule: With the four senses–look, smell, taste, feel–discern if these words are being used actively to decide whether to follow them with good or well. (Hear is always used actively.)

Examples:
You smell good today.
Good describes you, not how you sniff with your nose.

You smell well for someone with a cold.
You are sniffing actively with your nose here so use the adverb.

She looks good for a 75-year-old grandmother.
She is not looking actively with eyes so use the adjective.

Rule: When referring to health, always use well.

Examples:
I do not feel well today.
You do not look well.

Rule: When describing someone’s emotional state, use good.

Example: He doesn’t feel good about having cheated.

So, how should you answer the question, “How are you?” If you think someone is asking about your physical well-being, answer, “I feel well,” or “I don’t feel well.” If someone is asking about your emotional state, answer, “I feel good,” or “I don’t feel good.” To get around this problem, you could answer, “I feel fine,” “I feel great,” or “I feel sick.”

Carnies. Little hands. Smell like cabbage . . . no, wait, that's who annoys Austin Powers.

With me, it's people who don't practice what they preach . . . they get under my skin quicker than anyone else.

Well, maybe carnies too, just a bit. I don't like cabbage . . .

 

agreed

My mantra in life is:
"Say what you are going to do, do what you say"

I experience joy derived when people do what they say they are going to do.

Then after I realize they only did what they said they were going to do, I get sad about that; Im not sure why?

 

Which reminds me of the way, properly I think, that Tom Selleck's character responded to some guy sharing some information with him in some cowboy movie. Expressing his lack of interest in something the other guy said to him, he responded: "You have no idea how little I care."

 

Yes, that phrase is correct. The error you made is thinking Tom Sellek did anything. Tom was along for the ride, his mustache did all the "acting". :wave

You forgot drivers who are so quick to try and beat a red light that they have no problems about potentially running people (trying to cross the street) over. rolleyes

I was gonna say HEY! I have little hands...

With me, nothing annoys me more then when people they think they are better than other other people, for whatever reason. Also when people are arrogant, inconsiderate, mean, self centered, two faced, rude, dishonest, heartless and condescending.

 

Puppy-Mimsy is annoying me right now. I am trying to eat my dinner, teriyaki salmon with rice, and she is trying to convince me to share by staring hard at my fork, because apparently Obi-Wan told her that if she just focuses enough she'll be able to use the Force to make the salmon travel through the air towards her.

Stupid dog.

 

People in positions of power who make stupid budgetary decisions for no good reason due to an inability to deal with anything that affects anyone lower than them on the class heap.

Case: Most police stations across the UK are closing their enquiry counters. Fair enough, they are hardly used any more. But, the total savings for closing most counters in London: £8.5 Million. The cost of the new cable-car/zipline touristy thing in London that Mayor Boris Johnson got stuck on: £8.5 Million. So the money saved by the Police has gone for nothing.

Case: Police starting salaries have recently been dropped to £19,000/year. But the Politicians want to give themselves a £30,000/year pay INCREASE.

Case: Police are being asked to save money in the current economic climate. Fair enough. A study was conducted into the finances of each police force in the UK and the result was that the police could suffer 12% cutbacks with no effect on the number of front-line police officers. So the "home secretary" (quotes as she obviously isn't competent enough for the job) decides all police forces must make 20% cutbacks. And then the PR arm of the government starts on about how this won't affect the numbers of officers on the front line. And the senior police ranks agree this won't happen.

The study was conducted in 2010 (I think). Now, after pointless elections for new posts (to put one civilian in charge of broad police policies instead of a board which cost £100m to finance the election with only 14% turnout across the country), the police are starting to say that "yes, front-line posts will have to be affected". So just because crime figures are decreasing the government think they can cut officers when the police are already stretched too thin.

The response team (call for service responders for you Americans & Canadians) of some shifts in some towns is 4 officers. 4. To cover a town of 18,000 people. Granted, there are more officers on duty, but some of these are in the control room, some are on tasking, some are doing duty rounds, some are in the traffic section, etc etc. So in some towns the number of people able to respond initially to a pub brawl, or domestic between 12 family members (which has happened) is 4. Unless they have already made one arrest that shift, in which case there are 2. If those 2 didn't get involved in the arrest. Otherwise all 4 have to spend 4 or 5 hours doing paperwork for the arrest. These figures are assuming double crewing, which almost never happens here any more.

And if one of the officers on the response team is off sick, then there are 3 for the whole shift. Or if one of the cars breaks down (which happens a lot as most of them are now 5 years old and have had hundreds of thousands of hard miles put on them, and they were cheap small cars to begin with) then one of the officers will have to double crew and the number of incidents they can go to is reduced.

And now the number of police helicopters in the country has been cut when the National Police Air Service was created. This means that the south west of England, (the pointy bit at the bottom - Devon, Cornwall etc) and the whole of Wales has no direct overnight helicopter support. They have to be sent from other areas. Which takes time.

Let's say a helicopter is requested in Swansea because Taffy Jones has decided that it is time for the nightly fight with Blodwyn to continue and the neighbours have called the police out for the second time that night. When the area officer (just the one) turns up, Blodwyn gets annoyed with the officer for trying to arrest her husband, even though she has two black eyes and red welts all down one arm. She hits the copper on the head with a saucepan and both she and Taffy run in opposite directions into the night as they realise that they might actually spend a night in the cells for this.

Now, as this is a serious assault on a police officer, the duty inspector (lieutenant for USA & CAN) decides to scramble all available officers. The public order van is sent from the high street where they were about to deal with a binge-drinking group of women for all urinating in the same shop doorway, CID (detectives) turn out from... who am I kidding, CID don't work nights anymore), the other 6 response officers turn up, leaving the town completely uncovered, and the nearest dog van and helicopter are requested.

Now the nearest dog man calls up on the radio and says he is busy tracking a runaway child in Brecon, 30-40 miles away, and the next-nearest is in Aberystwith, 80-90 miles away by road, but he starts making his way there. The helicopter has just finished chasing a motorbike in Oxford, but it will be there after refuelling. So the helicopter starts out from Oxford, lands in Bristol, it's base, and refuels, taking 20 minutes to complete this. It then sets out for Swansea which is 15 minutes flying time away at 130mph. So it should take 35 minutes for the helicopter to arrive. 3 minutes after the call Taffy has been arrested when he ran past the public order van on the way to the call and the 8 officers inside jumped out and tacked him to the ground. He is arrested for domestic abuse and is taken to the local station. As this his second visit of the night and the fifth of the week, even though it is Tuesday, he is refused bail and is put in the last available cell in Swansea. All other arrestees must now go to Port Talbot police station, meaning officers have an extra 15 minute drive in each direction, keeping them off the streets for longer.

Blodwyn, meanwhile, has escaped the police cordon around the area and has disappeared. The helicopter arrives 37 minutes after the start of the incident and starts a quick area search, with no trace. Whilst searching, it is called away to look for a missing child in Taunton and so leaves after 3 minutes on scene.

The injured officer meanwhile, has been to hospital where he has been cleared of any serious injury. He now has to sit down and complete a log of the initial call, an injured on duty form, use of force form (from when he laid hands on Taffy to try and get the cuffs on), a form for a new hat due to the saucepan-shaped hole in his current one, attempted arrest form, as well as emailing the duty inspector and his sergeant with his condition and any medical advice he has been given with regards to working, etc etc. All the officers in the response van have to complete 15 pages of paperwork each as they all tackled Taffy, and the arresting officer has to do 20 extra pages as well as he arrested the guy. Four of the response officers return to the paperwork they were doing when the call came out, so there is one response officer on the streets of Swansea for the next two hours, so the roads policing unit for the South Wales area get drafted in to answer calls.

But 4 of the 10 RPU officers are covering a fatal accident at Carmarthen and the rest have been asked to help out in Cardiff as all of their response officers are dealing with detainees. So two are sent by the Cardiff duty inspector to Swasnea but a fight breaks out in a pub in Cardiff so the two officers are recalled half way to Swansea.

So, in short, the person who makes me annoyed is Theresa May, the Home secretary, who is in charge of Policing.

 

Well . . . as long as you don't smell like cabbage . . . :-D

I agree with both annoyances. It's especially aggravating when you call someone out on it and they simply cannot see where they have socially erred. I'm thinking, "Were you raised in a vacuum?" I don't get people like that.

 

People who complain about problems but offer no specifics - such as collinsl.

Come on, man - be a little more loquacious, why don't you!

:wave

 

Boy you really tore into that one http://www.sherv.net/cm/emo/angry/smiley-on-fire.gif

I am in later years and remember when the police were able to do their job without all this stupid paperwork and all they needed was the notes they took at the scene, now with the advent of the hooray henrys who get promoted beyond their ability and home secretaries who have no idea how the job works it has become a poison chalice and they should not be so surprised that suitable applicants to the force are in short supply.

The police now are no longer able to police because the miscreant has the upper hand where by the courts no longer give sentences that are commensurate with the crime and the police have to use kid gloves with the criminals because there are so many lawyers who are just waiting to bring an "undue force" claim.

PS i know your home city very well as i was stationed at Eastney barracks for almost 2 years and considering it is/was a military dominated culture it was relatively easy for the police. (not sure if it still is?)

 

Hmm i don't think you want to get me started on this subject my list would be so big i don't think the site could handle it he :-Dhe:-D

Id rather keep silent.:foolish:foolish

 

My apologies, I was completely inebriated with the exuberance of my own verbosity.

If you want more specifics, you only have to ask

Applicants aren't currently in short supply, although they might be soon due to the fact that the police starting wage is now below that of a trainee manager in McDonalds, a nurse, a teacher, and most other jobs. The problem is that no-one is recruiting, and officers aren't being replaced when they leave or retire. Some sections are actively being cut, and heavily. As I mentioned before, the number of police helicopters has fallen, the number of dogs is being cut, whole police mounted sections have vanished, police cars are getting more and more worn out, and were unfit for purpose to begin with, and there is nothing anyone can do to stop it.

There will come a time, I predict within the next three years, when a large increase in crime will happen, maybe major civil disturbance like we saw in 2011, and the police will not be able to control it. Then there will be a huge backlash against the government by the public, and the government will blame the police. This will lead to argument and recrimination on both sides, and possibly further privatisation of the police, which is the wrong direction.

In the UK the number of complaints against police that actually amounted to anything (for 2012) was about 11%.

To answer your second question. having lived in Portsmouth only to attend University for the past 4 years and from watching programs like "Traffic Cops", I have not really noticed any difference in crime between Portsmouth and a city with a low military population. As Portsmouth actually now has one of the largest ratio of students to general city population in the country we have a lot of pedal bike thefts, burglary from insecure student properties, and the "normal" no/low-income crimes; stabbings, assaults, burglary, anti-social behaviour, public order (drunken fights) etc. Portsmouth in particular and Hampshire in general is one of the lowest crime areas in the country mainly due to good policing and a low unemployment rate.

 

I would have to say that people who do not keep their word, i.e., no integrity drive me up the wall. It shows a level of wishy washiness that I find repulsive.



BTW, collinsL, quality rant! I miss Herr Flick avatar though.

 

Thanks! I might changing the avatar back at some point.

 

Attend to it!

Ok other than motc7 and his dots people who actually annoy me would be a few types or more habits I suppose.

The Under the bus thrower - People who when asked "Why did you not finish that?" or "Well why did it happen when you were in charge?" ... and know they are at fault, will proceed to blame anyone, everyone and everything. The response is as simple as "I apologise, I f**ked up, it wont happen again"

The High Beamer - I understand some people are not comfortable driving at night, or feel the need for high beams to be on. But it's this simple, if you can clearly see another vehicles headlights OR tail lights in front of you... YOU ARE DAZZLING THEM!!!
This seems a major problem around my way and annoys the living hell out of me!

The Slide the Pager - You've all been here, I know you have... trying to explain to someone how to do something on a PC and watching them click the "OK" button instead of enter and the worst one... click sliding the page when there is a wheel on the mouse and watching them quickly flick past the point of the page you need.
"Ok, scroll down.... you know there's a whee... no too far, go up... no go dow... wait.. go back up... further... no too fa...down ... down... no slowl... wait.... no ,stop ... stop moving the page... move your hand... please desist and leave the computing area NOW MISTER!!"

The False Linguist - I probably get this more than most, because I'm English in Canada I frequently get told I "Speak wrong"... Good one *thumbs up with wink*
I say something like "I took my car to the garage" (Garage pronounced "Garridge"), here you say "Ga - raj" (Indian name Raj lol) and I get told I say it wrong... not "Incorrectly"...
I said the other day "I went to the shop down the road to get..."
I got asked "You took your car in?" .... No, I went to the shop to purchase items.
"But a shop is where you fix cars".... Wow! ... yes I realise that is one variant of the word, but the first and foremost meaning of the word is a place to buy things, "Meat Shop", Vegetable Shop etc.
And these are the same people who say...
"and then we were out of stock supposebly"

"Well that's fine but irriguardless of that"

"Oh did you read about the plans for that Nucular power station"

And these people tell me, I can't speak English.

And Justin Bieber... he's my biggest annoyance at the moment, great quotes something like "Yeah I'm like part Indian or Inuit or something and I can get free gas in Canada"
Good one *thumbs up with wink* he couldn't have insulted both Native and Canadian's more if he tried. (For those who don't know, North American Natives don't pay sales tax and therefore get fuel cheaper... but still far from Free!... if I pay $1.20ltr, they will pay around 85-95c per ltr. Here anyway.
Pretty good at annoying us Brit's too, something about Prince William should get hair plugs.
Then the americans with his tantrum on radio and making a fat mama joke to the host who then declared his mother had not long passed away. This tantrum was because the host had compared him to Justin Timberlake and really meant it as a compliment.
Big headed, annoying jumped up little boy who needs to spend a few months in a boot camp.
He is an embarrassment to his country ... I say that and I'm not even Canadian :-D

 

One thing i am going to say is people that tell other people to learn to type.

And i don't type type as bad as some people do as a matter a fact i type better then most.And i type fast.

One of my big big arks is when people are driving be hind you and they are riding your butt for miles and with there Feng high beams on that really ticks me off.That is way i bought them silver star head lights they are really bright and the shine up to about a half a mile and when people see my high beams they turns there's off he he:-D:-D And if the person be hind me pulls in front i shine it in there eyes to see how they like it.

 

:-DGoldenskull's typing, spelling and punctuation.:-D

 

If you type poorly, learn to type better. Why does it matter how fast you type?
Those cars that bug you, would it be ok if they drove fast?

At least with cars riding your *** with high beams,etc, you can let them go around you/stop annoying. People must endure what you type, or we can just put you on an ignore list.:-D

Whinge,whinge,whinge.....Collins is in desperate need of a holiday!

 

That's how people are, they are controlled by the repercussions of their actions. You might as well say you don't like people who exceed the posted speed limit. IF I can drive 99mph, shoot people, eat candy and never brush my teeth, I would. but I can't, so I don't/
PS, I am one of those people who don't see the line. Particularly at the gym, where instead of waiting for people to put their stuff on the counter, comment to the clerk, let the clerk find the IR scanner, scan their card, watch the client pick their stuff up, waddle away, I have copies of my ID card with Bar code, and I just walk to the counter, throw down my copy and walk into the gym..no one waits for me, so not quite the same.


I am annoyed by: People dont give straight answers.
Example:
do you like the color blue?
-I like colors that make me feel alive, vibrant and refreshed.

This also goes in the reverse when someone(usually female) expresses a desire."when you g to the grocer, get me something, low fat, tasty, crunchy, yet soft."

 

Everyone annoys me.

 

Oma annoys me because all spelling errors jump out right in my face. Fricking annoying.

 

watchntv annoys me be cause the way he talks to people So bit my :kissmy

 

gr8, that was written good, you done well :-D

 

You are so much nicer than I am! LOL

Last time I was stuck behind Obliviously Inconsiderate Douche at the gym check-in counter I patiently waited for a lull in the conversation and sweetly said, "Excuse me? Would you mind doing your flirting from over there so you don't block the scanner for those of us who are here to work out?"

The Guy says it's a miracle I don't get punched more often. I say being born a girl should come with some advantages. :-D

 

I can safely say I don't smell like cabbage. I don't think I've ever eaten it to be honest. :-D

Wait for a lull? pshh, I could be there all day! :-D when I used to go to the gym and I'd approach the desk as two people were having an obviously personal conversation I'd wait a few seconds to see if they'd pay me attention, if not then I'd cut in and say "excuse me" rather loudly and while handing over my key chain to be scanned. It always worked and once, when I entered, there were 2 other people waiting at the desk to be scanned in, while the two were yakking, and I went on the other side of everyone and said excuse me while handing her my key chain. I guess the other two were emboldened by my move and quickly handed over theirs after I was handed mine back. :-D
