Most rude people toodle on, happily unaware or uncaring. Why let them ruin a moment of your day? Not saying that I can always keep this frame of mind, but I'd like to.
People who makes squelching sounds when they chew.
Yeah! And how about people who chew with their mouths open? It's horrible. I can actually see the food all mashed up and squishy.
People talking loudly on their cell phones in a library or a bookstore.
People using those Nextel walkie-talkie things in public so you have to hear both sides of a stupid conversation that interests you not at all.
HAH. People who constantly stare at their smart phones at the dinner table, eg at family gatherings.

My biggest pet peeve is when people start a sentence with "I'm not trying to be rude, but..." or "I don't want to be a jerk, but..." or "Look, not to be pushy or anything, but....If you don't want to be a jerk, then don't be! If you have to preface your comment with that kind of modifier you already know you're being a rude, pushy jerk.

Or when someone says, "I'm not a racist, but..."

I think those sorts of modifiers are only used by the type of people who are completely incapable of having a thought without speaking it out loud. We might not be able to help some of the offensive thoughts that travel through our brains from time to time, but we can certainly help saying them out loud.
Something that really bothers me that shouldnt. Well not only is it the time of the year that the stores are packed full of people. The return lines are just as long if not longer than the check out lines........ it bothers me that the more I try not to have anything that I need to return to the store seems to backfire. I have the most amount of returns when the line is the longest! Yes I know its my fault, Id rather it be my fault the other 11 months out of the year.

**tucking braids back up in armpit**
The worst is having to brush out the antiperspirant.
But it sure feels nice when they are flying in the wind, when Im on the motorcycle!!!

LOLing... arm-pit braids sound cool. So are they fishtails or french or...

Sally wrote: "I have no feeling about public bathrooms."That's good for you. Then basically there was no real need for you to comment on what I stated, which I deleted...Instead, I'll just call the auto service center and complain about their dirty filty bathrooms...should have done that in the first place instead of posting on here.
I like people who are direct.

But post deleting doesn't bother me. I'm an avid fan of the activity, myself.
BunWat wrote: "I don't see that there's any need to get all huffy and delete your own post just because Sally said she didn't have any feelIngs on the subject. I notice in some groups it's very much the done thin..."I agree with you, that's why I reposted my reply to Sally's message in a different way--that's just my "nature" I tend to agree with the disagreers. Right after I deleted my comment, I thought to myself that was stupid.... I guess many of the topics on this site are likely not for me afterall - your assumptions/opinions about my personality and postings are reflected in your statements. There also at times seems to be a "double standard" when certain people can post things and no one else really seems to question them. I do find the word "huffy" slightly offensive though.
BunWat wrote: "I'm not a huge fan of the acknowlege and validate style either. Its very nice to validate others but a little goes a long way with me."I know how you feel.
hehehe
*validates Bun's parking*Cam, I didn't see your deleted post, but I read Bun's post to you at message 1204 and your response at 1210 seems a little oversensitive to me. Now maybe I'm wrong, but if you are feeling that raw, then maybe TC isn't the place for you.
Sally wrote: "I didn't mean anything really all that bad about it, except to say that I scanned her post enough to see the topic and then I posted a simple "I will not be reading what you wrote because I do not ..."I don't remember reading the reply: I will not be reading what you wrote because I do not....

Yeah - you are absolutely right. This site isn't the place for me - but that's your opinion. I'm not sure any one but all the moderators can read the original postings....as I wrote to BunWat - it was a little too late to put back my original posting after it was deleted... My being over-emphatic has it's good points and bad points as well.
What we have here ... is a failure to communicate.
All this over a dirty public bathroom. Is it ironic that this conversation takes place in the "things that bug you that shouldn't" thread or am I misusing the word and will people be bugged?

They should do away with the "delete" key...and next time if I have to use their dirty bathroom...I'll close my eyes...

No, Jammies, I'm calling you late for dinner.
