It bugs me when someone phones and says, "Hi. It's me. What are you doing?" I have no idea who is calling only to realize that she's got the wrong number.

Latin. I never studied it and for some reason decided my kids should learn it. What was I thinking??? I have to help them with homework...

People breathing in my air space bother me. Just because I'm not a big fan of people. I don't care if they like me. I actually prefer if they don't.
Oh it also bothers me when people call California "Cali" and Chicago "Chi-Town" It's NOT Chi-Town. I'm from Chicago and NO ONE from Chicago calls it that! Just because some rapper did doesn't mean it's cool! Pull your pants up and take your hat off you're in a building.Okay, I honestly could post on this thread non stop because people bug me. lol But I won't.
It does piss me off instantly when I walk into any bathroom and see the toilet seat up. Not sure why but it does. My fiance puts it down withOUT me ever asking! ;o) That's a keeper right there!
Mod
I'm not a fan of that either. Or "Indy."

Lobstergirl wrote: I'm not a fan of that either. Or "Indy.""Yep bothers me too! I was a truck driver and most everyone calls it "Indy". Everytime someone would say it to me I'd finish with, "Ana Jones and the Temple of Doom Or Last crusade?" lol
in indiana some people actually do say indy (i'm not one of them) and no one seems to mind. fyi
People who say "LOL" when they're standing right in front of you and they didn't actually laugh out loud.
what about when they say ok but they mean okay but it sounds like the texting form of ok (not to be confused with k which is over the top lazy because you only save typing one letter)
Yep. Having a texting conversation in person seems like a communication breakdown.
i text. a lot. but i heard a great line from a friend's mom about why she does not text. she said:"I speak in paragraphs, not sentences"

But isn't that a sentence?
That is funny. I think I'll start telling people I speak in chapters. I actually text a lot, but I don't use texting abbreviations in face to face conversations.
Barb wrote: "I text quite a bit too, but I don't really do the abbreviation thing ... I just type out actual words and sentences (with punctuation). The way I post here, that's how I text."Yes. That.
It really bugs the piss outta me when some snotty bitch has the day off in the middle of the week and thinks it's okay to bring junioretta to daycare early then pick her up late!!!!! On a regular basis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!No. Wait just a damn minute. That fucked up shit should bother me. I bet if she is made, unknowingly beforehand, (if that even makes sense) to work overtime, that she then expects overtime pay. But, hey, I'm just the dipshit she trusts with her little precious all day long.
Angela, you should charge by the minute for overtime. When my kids were in daycare it cost $1 per child per minute that I was late. If I was there at 5:10 it cost me $20.

She was taken with a broken elbow and apparently serious head injuries, including lacerations, to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, officials said...
The driver of the bus was cited for disobeying a red light and striking a pedestrian.
Cited. Probably no further punishment. Why wouldn't you bring criminal charges against a driver who breaks the law by disregarding a red light, and seriously injures or kills someone? I don't get it.
Mod
It's a trick to get us to pay attention to useless information.
Ever met one of those people that is generally unlikable, but the sheer force of your dislike for the person is out of proportion to what they probably deserve? I have someone like this that I deal with on a daily basis, and while it's perfectly reasonable that he bothers me (at least I think so), I find that I hate him, and I'm not entirely sure why.
Amy wrote: "Angela, you should charge by the minute for overtime. When my kids were in daycare it cost $1 per child per minute that I was late.

All of the other daycares here charge that $1/minute rate. My Mama knew a lady who arranged for her father to pick up her two kids one day. He forgot and was 90 minutes late. You know it......they most certainly charged this lady $180 in overtime that week. In my opinion, that is just utterly ridiculous. But, hey, at least they have the backbone to enforce their overtime rules.

"the 'carolinas.'" Look, is it north carolina or south carolina? is it that damn difficult to specify??
Amy wrote: "People who say "LOL" when they're standing right in front of you and they didn't actually laugh out loud."if i see or read the letters lol again, someone's gonna get slapped silly! so hating it...ALWAYS hated it.

Just because you can't label it doesn't mean there isn't something creepy about him. Or perhaps he has traits that resemble someone else you dislike.

if the question mark is part of the quotation, it goes within the quote marks; if it's not, then it goes outside the closed quote mark.

Amber -- even a pile of shit is good for fertilizer.
Félix wrote: "Amber -- even a pile of shit is good for fertilizer."This is true. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have one of my sisters. So, he was good for something.
People trying to convinve you to be excited about something they like which you are not interested in, and then they just won't go away! (Like the gaggle of over-enthusiastic football supporters on the train trying to make me barrack for their team... wtf? No!)

I'd add to the list people who say they're going to Wal-Mart's.

People visiting Seattle (or merely ignorant of the actual name) who say they're going to "Pikes Place Market."It's "Pike Place Market," thank you very much.

Amber wrote: "Ever met one of those people that is generally unlikable, but the sheer force of your dislike for the person is out of proportion to what they probably deserve? I have someone like this that I deal..."Don't feel bad. It's very rare I find someone I like. I actually prefer if people don't like me. Saves me from having to deal with them.
Scout wrote: "I don't like you and your lol."Thanks Scout. I appreciate that. :D lol
Since Emily doesn't like "LOL" I'll use "lol" see if that helps.
Shannon said: Don't feel bad. It's very rare I find someone I like. I actually prefer if people don't like me. Saves me from having to deal with them.Looks to me like you're dealing with us.
People who don't give a courtesy wave when you are extra nice in traffic...
