Re: It drives me crazy when...
The cats chasing the dog (see below)
YES! The open facebook status. I have a cousin who will just post - IDK. What the hell is that supposed to mean? What don't you know and why do I care?
Posts on the national boards from women worrying about their toddler's development. "My 13 month old isn't talking, should I be worried?" Seriously, have they read a book on baby development?
Posts on the Austin board from out-of-towners wanting to know about schools and family-friendly things to do and where to look for a house. We get, what? 3 or 4 posts a week on that? Can't they scroll through a few pages first?
Posts on the SAHM board about ideas to work from home. Or, What's Your Typical Day like?
WOW I'm cheerful today, huh? I should just go crawl back into bed...
ooh, I hate those FB updates, too. ?One of my cousins is always posting "is praying for a miracle!" or "so upset!" and not giving details. ?Way to be a big vague AW, cousin.
BARKING DOGS. ?I have a dog. ?It barks. ?But one or two yips, and he's brought inside the house. ?We've got two neighbors on our block who will let their dog bark for an hour. ?One woke me up this morning when DH was being awesome and keeping DS downstairs so I could sleep in a bit. ?I'm so fed up that I could scream.?

those people are just hoping people comment on their status!
I feel the same way. Just one of those days.
I heard the Grinch song yesterday and that pretty much sums me up this week.
OMG I hate that too!
Ugh- bad drivers drive me bananas. There's a Theory of a Deadman Song that has a line "I hate all the people who can't drive their cars. B*tch you better get outta the way before I start falling apart." DH makes fun of me bc I use my blinker to pull into parking spaces.
People who use the word "literally" and don't literally mean it quite literally.
My MIL. Again, good intentions, poor execution.
My coworkers stand over my shoulder to watch what I'm doing.
My neighbors judge me because of my age.
This!!!!
Do you ladies also find it annoying when a couple is sitting in a truck and the woman sits in the middle seat next to her SO, rather than sitting in the passenger side? My BFF and I always make fun of that!
DH and I totally do this sometimes. A) if I'm cold and don't have a jacket or
if it's just been a bad day/ bad week and I just really feel like I need to be close to him. It's not very often, but sometimes that's how we are. 
Amen. There are days when I really like my hubs and I just want to be close.
When you're out shopping somewhere and there are people not knowing what the're there for, or their lost/confused, or they're debating something, and they're standing in the middle of the aisle blocking it for others. *I* knoiw what I'm looking for, people! Get out of my way! Same in the grocery store at the deli counter. I realize you're waiting on your roast beef, but please don't park your cart 5 feet away in the middle of the aisle and walk away!
The below comments:
"Maybe God just did not intend for your to have kids"
"As soon as you adopt you will get pregnant"
"Just relax and it will happen"
"Why don't you borrow my kid for the night, then you might change your mind about having kids"
And my all time favorite "would it really be that bad if you never have kids?"
(Can you tell I hear all of these WAY too often?)
Hearing about Tiger Woods' mistresses
Crazy neighbors
Oh man, all of those comments make my blood boil!
People leaving their shopping carts in the middle of the aisle also annoy me. Add to that the people who get mad when I move their cart out of the way because they didn't hear me loudly say "Excuse me" 15 times.
These threads are always good for spelling and grammar lessons
OMG I almost posted that as well! I hate that.
