Just simple things that annoy you or kind of bring you down. That make you go Grrr and we are not talking grrreat like tony the tiger.

Your work day ends at 4. You look up at the clock and for a split second you think it says 3:30 only to realize after your focus in that is only 2:30. Grrrr

Getting multiple emails from someone asking about something they should already know. grrrr

Getting calls from someone that tells you they can not complete a task on a computer system because it keeps giving them an error. When you ask them to read the error to you the error clearly explains why they can not complete the task in simple english...they were just too lazy to be bothered to read the error. Once they do they realize the error and fix it....wasting both of our times. Grr

Whiny sports fans after a loss, and even sometimes after a win. I get being upset but to read grown mean crying and whining and in your head you hear the voices of Edith and Gloria from All in the family with the annoying whiny voice. Grrrr

When you get a food item set in your head that you will have that evening only for it to change. Example...The wife tells you the night before that she is going to make Breaded Pork chops, fried green tomatoes and some other sides you like but when you get home the next day shes says...Sorry, got busy with some other stuff so we are having Spaghetti. Now, I love me some spaghetti but that is not what I have thinking about having for the meal all day. Grrrr

Hitting every Red light on your way to work. Thankfully I only have about 10 max in town and once out of town zero...but going through town and hitting a every red light with limited traffic...grrrr

We have a hall way that has three different light switches for the whole hallway. Right when you come in, in the middle of the hall and at the other end of the hall. When you show up at work, unlock the door, the lights are off. You turn on the light switch at the door...nothing, walk to the middle of the hall way and turn on that switch...nothing...so you have to walk all the way to the other end of the hall way to turn the lights on....grrrr


Ok...let's see some things that make you go grrr

Do you want to open up that Pandora box of my work gripes? Do you?

- People stopping at my work area to ask about or comment on my desktop background no matter how mundane

-Nosey people asking what me and my team were talking about. I usually awnser this with something morbid like STDs or decapitations

- Entitled people thinking the company revolves around them.

- Weak leadership that allows these people to maintain this line of thought

- People complaining to me about there team. I hope one of them puts in for a job in my department. I have a list of names. They won't even get an interview after Im done with them

-Also related to my last point, people trying to get me to trash people in my department. They will try to get cute and bring up something they dont like about them and ask my opinion. Im an ex Marine who enjoys being a butthole, so Im often very condescending in responses to this. My usual response is that im not a 15 year old girl

Group texts
Politics and more importantly those who want to tell me their stance as if I care
Grapes with seeds
Pistachios that don't open
Quiet talkers or mumblers on TV
When they get your order wrong at the drive thru
Baseball
The Fan Zone
Dancing With The Stars. In what world would I want to watch Rick Perry dance for my entertainment?
Glitter, that crap sticks to everything
Trick candles...really?
Those ↑ and rainy days and Mondays always bring me down

Inconsiderate drivers - the speed limit would be peachy.
Fellow employees asking me "Hey, what happened to them Cowboys?" FIRST thing in the morning the DAY after a loss - I dunno.......... Haven't called Jason yet. Jesus...........
My daughters snotty attitude - she's 14. Too bad the law frowns on certain things. ;)
Software. - Going to be the death of mankind.
Emails I try and unsubscribe to, that I never SUBscribed to. - That'll be10 weeks to take effect............... IF it actually worked.

The older I get the more grrrs I develop.

Getting one telemarketing call is worth a grrr... Getting two of them within 15 minutes is grrr-squared.

Just as bad is getting one on one phone and then getting the same damn call a short-time later on our other line.

Planning on stopping at a business (usually out of town) and finding out the owner decided to take a vacation that week and closed the place down (Hey if you're going to open a business then open a GD business and figure out how to stay open all year long... GRRR!

Use to grrr at the traffic lights in this town... you hit one and you're hitting them all! But recently (the last two years) they've removed all the traffic lights on the main drag and went with round-abouts. (big improvement IMO).

Getting an itch in the middle of the night... usually in the groin area and then having the SOB spread to every inch of your body...

Eating lunch or supper and having the cat come in and take dump in the litter box (which is in our kitchen)...

Waking up at 6AM having to take a monster whiz and knowing you have to be up at 6:45 and you ain't going back to sleep.

Trying to put on a pair of underwear in the bathroom while standing up and missing the leg-hole and proceed to tear a big hole down the back.

Having to warm up two different things in the microwave... You warm up one, put it on the table, go warm up the other, put that on the table, sit down to eat and find the first thing is cold...

I'm sure I could come up with a few dozen more... LOL!

ESPN.

Paying for an online service and the service still shows you ads.

Paying for something, then having the company tell you how you should use or enjoy what they offer.

People who think Apple products are still special or innovative since Steve Jobs died.

People riding my bumper thinking it will make me go faster, even though I have cruise control set.

People who have their car radios turned way up and windows down while driving through shopping center parking lots.

People who think there's nothing wrong with letting their dogs run free and jump up on everyone.

People wearing sports gear of the winning team of the last Super Bowl, World Series, NBA Championship, etc. that is 1,000+ miles away knowing they never even paid attention to that team before.

When you get over to the left lane on the freeway to pass, but encounter someone poking along in the left lane, then some idiot comes up behind you and tailgates you, blaming you for the clog in the left lane.

Let's all sing together: You can't drive faster than the car in front of you. You can't drive faster than the car in front of you.

I didn't read this whole thread, but this post is great. This is why the NJ turnpike needs to have no speed limit with 4 lanes instead of 3.
For anyone reading, if your in the left lane on the NJ turnpike doing less then 85, well then you need to move into the middle lane. Thanks You!

People who gripe about not having a god paycheck but refuse every chance to take on extra work. At the ripe old age of 46 I'm actually getting more tolerant of idiots.

It's not just the slow pokes in the left lane. It's the idiots who tailgate thinking that will somehow solve the problem -- and blame the person in front of them who themself is stuck behind a slow poke.

People that pull in front of me and drive 10 miles under the speed limit.
Hipsters
People that think they are hip and trendy just because they vape and listening to the Black Keys or some other wuss rock band.
People that park in handicap zones that aren't handicapped
People that park in handicap zones that aren't handicapped after paying for their groceries with an EBT card, and getting into a brand new vehicle.
Kids that don't behave in restaurants
Parents that don't watch their kids in public/restaurants.
And Rosie O Donnell
