A different spin on a things that annoy you thread. This is one where you can tell everyone something that annoys you so they can laugh at you for being annoyed by it.

Mine is, whenever I visit my parents they have a neighbor, who is ALWAYS outside with his car washing and waxing it. It never fails, when I get there, he's out there washing it, when I leave, he's out there washing it. It's like OCD or something.

Your turn!

People that hum, tap or whistle, especially if the song's actually playing at the time! Why do they think I'd rather hear them than the artist? Drives me nuts! I wish it didn't though, because so many people do it.:rolleyes:

Two things that annoy me that shouldn't.

1) People that don't seem to understand my answer because it wasn't what they expected.

example:

Them: "ever been to Niagra Falls?
Me: "no"
Them: "what, never?"
Me: "no" (slightly agitated)
Them: "really", .. never?"
Me: "never" (looking for something to bash them over the head with)
Them: "never the Canadian or the American side?"
Me: "ah no, never" (thinking, DID YOU NOT hear my answer the first time?)
Them: "I can't believe you've never been to Niagra Falls, .. you kidding?"
Me: "no, I have NEVER been to Niagra Falls!" (reaching for their throat)
Them: "you've never been to Niagra Falls?"

You get the picture.

2) When people answer my question without answering the question.

examples:

Me: "what time is the game"
Them: "same as last game"

Me: "what time do you want to eat"
Them: "I have gymnastics at 7:30"

Me: "what is your favorite movie"
Them: "same as Sarah"

Not good examples, but you get the picture. Their answer does not answer the question, so I have to ask it again.

Hearing other people chew food. It usually happens when somebody is eating chips or something crunchy and we're watching a movie or what have you. The sound of other people eating crunchy food just drives me berserk for some reason.

Sound effects and animated "branding" graphics that wipe the screen. I blame ESPN for it all. They started the special effects extravaganza and is thus unwatchable. Now it's like a virus across the media organ. Every shot, stat, or highlight is introduced and punctuated with some element of this fluff. It's not unusual to miss live action due to it, and makes me want to go Elvis on my TVs. Partially because it's simply obnoxious and also because I know the methods and goals of these tactics. If consumers knew in how low regard advertisers/mktrs hold their audience they'd be shocked. Let me just encapsulate: they believe we're all truly,mightily obtuse and require steady prompting or jolting to snap us out of our vacant stares, but once directed attention is obtained, easily impelled. See, it bothers me way too much. I've never known anybody as adverse to this as I am. Might just be a disorder of some kind....I'll l talk to the team of therapists who are caring for me about it.:laugh1:

I always want to choke people who smack gum. If you are going to chew gum, do it with your mouth closed. Nobody wants to hear you smacking.

On that note though, your answer (and mine here) do not fit the category. These are things that annoy you and they should. He was asking for thing that annoy you that shouldn't.

Anyone who eats / chews with their mouth open should be shot on sight.

I hate DVR. My wife pauses the TV even when she isn't watching it when she has to leave the room or someone starts talking to her. It will take her all night to watch an hour long show because she pauses it and doesn't fast forward through most commercials. Sometimes I want to throw it out the window.

- People that give themselves their own nicknames. That's sacrilege to me.

- People that have more than 1 favorite in the same sport in the same league.

- People that root for their rival team 'just because.' One time I was in Atlanta and watching the Cowboys playing the Patriots in '07 (when Dallas had the lead and then lost it). This one guy was rooting for the Patriots like his life depended upon it...while wearing a Jason Taylor Dolphis jersey. He was a Dolphins fan, but that year he rooted for the Pats because he 'wanted to see them go undefeated.' Literally inexplicable and inexcusable. The gods should've revoked his man card for good and then thrown him into oncoming traffic.

- Reality shows that have the word 'America' or 'American' in the title. Just a blatant misuse of those terms for their own profit.

- Reality shows that are mostly real, but find a way to come up with written scripts to a couple of scenes in the show. I love Pawn Stars, but this is beyond annoying.

- Guys who own cats.

- Dudes who say things like 'TMZ is my favorite Web site.' Even if you love TMZ, you don't freely admit that, under any circumstances.

- The IT guy who tells you when you ask for help with your computer 'did you turn off your computer and turn it on again?' That's like going to a podiatrist with a foot problem and then saying 'did you take your shoe off and then put it back on again?'

I think you just became my new BFF. Text me every 5 minutes. I had a neighbor (thank GOD he moved), who was wearing a Redskins jersey. I had to tell him something, because I live in IRVING, TEXAS. That just isn't going to happen. Two weeks later, eagles jersey. His response "I'm keeping it in the division, atleast". No idiot, it doesn't work like that.

Oh, have I mentioned I've seen this guy wear Cowboys gear before? Like I said. I'm glad he moved, because it was getting dangerously close to me telling him he can't ever walk outside in MY NEIGHBORHOOD wearing that bull****.

To me, while I hate the Redskins and Eagles as much as the next Cowboys fan...the Dolphins fan who roots for the Pats to go undefeated defies everything humanly possible.

1. Who on earth would ever want to see their divisional rival ever go undefeated? That's THE apex of the NFL.

2. The Dolphins are the only undefeated team in the history of the game and Dolphins fans will always have that, so why would you root for your divisional rival to accomplish the same thing.

That guy probably would've rooted for Hitler.

He obviously doesn't work in IT. Rebooting fixes *most* problems. Especially with Windows. Some people do get the hint though. I used to have an Accountant named Nancy back at my company in Dallas. When she had a problem, she would let me know first thing that "rebooting didn't fix it". That saves me the step of asking her to reboot and I can move on to actually diagnosing the issue.

If you are running Windows (especially older versions of Windows), if you haven't rebooted yet, I'm not going to troubleshoot. ;)

Sandals are a cultural thing, if you grew up by a beach or in a tropical region, everyone wears sandals/flip flops.

One thing I've noticed is that whatever you ride, you think everyone else is a jerk. If you're a pedestrian, you think every non-pedestrian is an idiot. If you're on a bike, you hate pedestrians and drivers and if you're in a car you think pedestrians should all walk through underground tunnels and bike riders should be shot.

The moral of the story is that everyone's an *******.

Good point The Count and you are correct on the cyclists/driver issue. It's always one side or the other. Guys who wear flip flops all the time just look kinda soft to me. I have nothing wrong with backwards hats, sagging pants, bandanas, doo-rag, whatever. For some reason it just screams FEMININE (maybe it's the country boy in me) when I see mandles (flip flops would be considered mandles), but I do understand the need for them in locker rooms or at the beach or something.

The moral of the story is that everyone's an *******.

I was talking about guys in DC wearing them outside, not some tropical or SC area.

Amarillo, I take it you grew up in the burbs? If you grew up in a city you would understand that men just don't wear mandles. It's a city thing I guess, and I know my Prince George's County folk wouldn't either, sheet, half of them lived in DC ten years ago...

I grew up in Amarillo and Dallas. I'm definitely from the city. I'm not talking about mandles anyway. I'm talking about flip flops. I would never wear mandles because they aren't in style. Flip flops are. Everyone I know wears them. You not liking them is fine. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. However, you thinking someone is soft for wearing them is really quite ignorant. I can fully see that coming back to bite you someday.

Good points Amarillo

I'm not underestimating anyone's "toughness" based on them wearing flip flops or something. It shows a lack of manhood and a showmanship of presenting yourself as such. Again, different areas, different breeds. If you came to DC wearing flip flops, people would take you as a yuppie or a mark, easy as that. And the don't be surprised part, I think our people would be a hell ova lot more aware of you coming around the corner then you would...and believe the only thing that would "bite" them is that you have cheap *** shoes so no one would want them and spare them to let you walk home humbled with your girl shoes.

Don't get me wrong guys the burb kids wear them, but you wear sneakers in the summer and boots in the winter. Sandals(flip flops) are for chicks(duh). You think people want to see/worse smell your feet? BTW people don't smell themselves anywhere NEAR the level that other people do (they smell you idiot, but they don't have the heart to tell you...). But go on being comfortable like a teenage girl.

People in front of me in line who have to get seperate receipts for individual items. People who still use checks in front of me that dont have them mostly filled out. People paying with food stamps.

People who have to pay exact change and dump their purses on the counter to find a nickel.

Its pretty odd that you are so anti-child. This isn't the 1st time you mentioned it, either.

Sad really, because kids are great. I love being a dad. There is nothing like it in the world.

I'm lucky enough I get to pick my son up from school every day. Watching him walk thru that door and to see the smile on his face when he sees me standing there is just priceless and instantly makes my day. After that, anything he wants he gets.

Capris are my warm weather pants. Shorts are not appropriate for all occasions and full length pants are too hot in the summer.

I wear them with my flip flops. :D

To be fair, they are super supportive flip flops (recommended by the podiatrist) because I had Plantar fasciitis and it was the only thing that eased the pain. I never go barefoot anymore, even in the house.

Children should be raised by the state in remote farms and released in to society at the age of twenty.
