What ANNOYS you the Most

People hate Macs. Actually people hate expensive things. People hate starbucks, macs, iPhones, iPad, people have BMW / Porsche / Ferrari beacuse they can't afford it so they try to convince people that cheap one (windows PC, android, 1$ coffee, cheap cars) is better :mad:. Then they say, ''PC is better beacuse you can play games with it. Console? Console gaming sucks beacuse graphics mean everything, I know, PS and Xbox made for gaming but we have graphics.'' or ''Android is better beacuse it can do more things. Only thing I do on my smartphone is checking facebook and playing subway surfers but my phone can do more things'' or the worst ''Why to buy a BMW? They look cool but my cheap car is as fast as your BMW. I am definitely not jealous.''

You sound defensive.
 
People who do not do their job.
People who do not follow SOP.
People who do not wash hands properly.
People who ask the same questions over and over because they forgot the answer.
People who do not sacrifice a bit for the group.
...... Basically everyone at work. Lol

Lazy people can appear stupid and vice versa. They often go hand in hand.

"Green" people are often mean according to a funny article I read. People make themselves feel good by recycling and driving Prius to compensate for their meanness toward other people.
 
When I'm approaching a crosswalk on foot, and a car pulls to a halt to let me cross long before I'm even there…. they could have passed before me ten times over without me having to slow down at all. I end up having to run, for their sake, so that they can get on their way again.

When people think that "xyz happens to 20% of people" means "every single person has a 1 in 5 chance of xyz happening to them."

When people incorporate a certain level of expected incompetence into their estimates about how likely or unlikely people are to experience misfortunes in their life. Those who are truly responsible and conscientious fall outside of their paradigm and are insulted by it.
 
Since I retired some years ago, nothing really anymore.

I try to see the funny side of most situations, if you don't get angry, life can be fun.
 
Lots of things , lol :)
to name a few on top of my mind :

people chewing with open mouths..ew
telephone lines that are busy forever
bad hygien .. smelly people..
heavy traffic
commercials

:eek:
 
1. Complacency (especially in the workplace)
2. Chewing with an open mouth
3. Not washing hands after using the restroom
4. Potluck Events (see #3)
5. People who drive too slow in the passing lane
 
My inclinations to hold grudges against people who are no longer able to harm me, and my reactivity in stressful situations, which sometimes leads to absurd results. It's probably some kind of survival instinct doing its job, so I don't see it as 'evil', just useless and really really annoying.

Is it a genuine grudge you hold against people who can no longer harm you or is your feeling actually a sense of release/dismissal to those types of people as no longer being relevant?

I think I can relate to what you're saying, only I don't feel any ill-will. I have a feeling they are irrelevant, untrustworthy, and no longer worthy of my attention. I'll remain polite and professional by greeting them as manners dictate but otherwise **poof**.

Genuine grudge, even though I haven't seen some of these people for a decade. I have no proper reason to hold any resentment or ill-will against them anymore, so I'm doing the best I can to see them as my teachers in the school of life (cruel and efficient ones, though). Things started to get better when I began to pay closer attention to the flashbacks, their triggers and their effects. I still get the flashbacks, but less frequently and not as intensely as before.

Earlier, I was told that time would heal the wounds. It really didn't. The pain was constant until I started working on it, as opposed to trying to "forget it", "leave it behind" or "turn the other cheek".

Went to see Enders game yesterday and a couple took their baby with them. It cried quite a lot. Very annoying and selfish. Get a sitter or wait for it to be out on DVD.

I think my neighbor's baby might be ill a few days ago. recently I rarely heard the crying at night, it must be getting better.

Myself: being so indecisive lately. I need to pull some reverse psychology in order to achieve the desired result.

Loud Neighbors at the worst times: It is hard for me to fall asleep so loud neighbors (below and next door) are never a good thing; especially when they start as soon as I lay down. Cursing is the only thing that shuts them up. I hate doing that. Asking nicely never works. These are generally nice people otherwise.

My commute: actually I find the more expensive way more of a pet peeve, although there are drawbacks to the cheaper commute.

Certain voices; the pitch/tone makes me nuts (these are in the real world, not in my head. :D)

and when people try to shove their beliefs (religion, politics, etc.) down my throat. No thanks.

That is it really. Trying to deal with everything else.
