What are the top ten things that get on your nerves?

I'm right with you on that one.....lol

 

1. people that turn on their four way flashers because it's raining hard.

 

1. contact with people when you don't want to but have to.

 

1. people who dont use turn signals.
2. people talking to me like I'm an idiot
3. hubby not setting up my coffee for the morning
4. hypocritical friends
5. people who talk too much, but dont have anythign to say
6. my alarm going off in the morning (lol)
7. most people

10. seriously though- some days- EVERYTHING bugs the $%^ out of me!

 

I hate it when that happens.

 

It drives me CRAZY when people don't close the lid OR put the seat down.
GAH!

 

This kind of major geek, because I'm english and thats how you say it over here! (well, near enough anyway)

1. txt spk 4 n parnt resn makn rdn cnvsnt tly mposbl.
2. Premium rate phone numbers
3. Paperwork
4. People who want somthing for nothing
5. Manufactured pop groups/artists
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!"

 

Here we go

 

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

 

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.

<panting> okay, rant done, ...now....

@fleppen: where's the coffee again?

 

I'm more hungry overall.

 

Hey xflat, go look here:

maybe that will help

 

IMHO is either In My Humble (or Honest, I've heard it explained both ways) Opinion,


Or it means I'm Miserably Horribly OLD.


Could go either way I guess.

 

Yeah, I just put BOTH the seat and the lid down and irritate the crap out of everybody!

 

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!
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!!


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.







and much aloha.

 

....

That was kind of random.

 

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."

 

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

 

Number 12.

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.

 

I'm just aging.

Sorry about that. I guess one of the most annoying things is a pedant.

 

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.

 

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".

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)

 

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?

 

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.

 

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...

 

semantics and nothing more.

 

i just thought of another one, so ....

7) BL**DY CELL PHONES!!!!! useless pieces of SH*T. cannot EVER get them to work. (especially not here) conversation after conversation of 'can you hear me now/' 'NO!" "CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?'. always the same, run out of battery, forgot to take it, run out of minites, mountain in the way, had mine for two years now and dont think ive ever SPOKEN to anybody on it. damm thing screeches like a stuck pig in the middle of the night to tell me i had a message a WEEK ago.......phew...ok done now.
