when I put my feet up and the dog needs out.

when someone borrows a book and licks their thumb to turn the page....if I wanted thumb prints on the page,Id do it myself.

when folks leave finger-prints on the back of a CD or DvD......the edges are there for a reason.

when someone puts a over-size box into a small office trash can.

when someone empties the fridge in the work-room....doesnt say anything...and thinks 50lbs of crap in jars wont rip a trash-liner.....tip....they do.

:lmao2:eagles,giants and Commanders fans:lmao:

Farsighted parallel parking. It happens before you find an open parking space and you start to pull into it but realize someone does not know just how close they parked their vehicle to your soon-to-be-occupied empty spot. I should not bother me if It is only me in my car since I can adjust how I enter the space and give myself enough room to open my door. Even so, It picks at me just how close my car is to someone else's in a parking lot.

It drives me nuts when they say "pleaded guilty." To me "pled guilty" sounds right. (Both are actually correct -- I looked it up.)

I love silly, that makes living with the little irks tolerable.

I don't know why this bothers me but I finally responded as I've often thought of doing with really funny results but not as intended. People in a grocery store that point out an item in your basket and ask "I've thought of buying that, is it any good"?

A week ago a couple behind me did that and it was the wrong time of the month for me. I replied, "actually it's terrible. I have family visiting and am tired of them and I figured if I served this, they'd leave". The woman checking me out and the couple just looked at me with these quizzical expressions and it dawned on me, they didn't know I was just being a sarcastic awesome person. I could see the wheels turning 'why hadn't I thought of that'?

My main irk that I cannot stand is bad table manners. People smacking, talking with food in their mouths, chewing with their mouths open, eating loudly, etc. I can't stand commercials that accentuate the crunch like Pringles, hate that company. I won't watch any food themed shows like DDD because of the horrible table manners, what a total pig Fieri is. Brad Pitt eating a ******* sammich in every Ocean's movie made me stop watching, are the crappy manners written into the part of is he just a pig? Jimmy McGill was eating cereal on Better Call Saul and I wanted him to burn alive like his brother.

I see a family of pigs eating out and I want to just get up and yell at all of them "CHEW WITH YOUR ******* MOUTHS CLOSED, YOU FILTHY ANIMALS"!!!!!!!!!!! But, I don't, I usually try to face away from most of the other diners. Not long ago, I was forced to sit two tables away from this, looked to be 7 or 8 year old, boy with the worst table manners. He was smacking so much food was falling out of his mouth, he was talking and laughing with food in his mouth and I couldn't help myself and I tried not to have these thoughts but they came anyway. I thought to myself 'go ahead you little cretin, keep taking big bites and laughing with your mouth wide open, just keep it up until you CHOKE! CHOKE! CHHHOOOOKKKKEEE! I am probably the closest to you knowing the Heimlich but do you think I am going to use it? Oh, I'll jump in at the last minute, after your little insignificant life had flashed in front of your eyes and your family has imagined life without The Little Piggie'.

Some irks are worse than others, some may need counseling.

I'm right there with you, Coach. My remote is always at the ready for chomping commercials.

One of my main irks is the over use of addressing everyone with "you guys". Guys is a masculine pronoun that I don't identify with.
Ok Yosemite, I'm on my way.
