Stuff That Bugs Me, Part 1

dandyelle · July 2010

I was just reading some posts about various things that irritate people, and I would like to share my own. I would also like to hear yours.

1. Using Facebook every 15 minutes. Seriously? I don't need to know that you are leaving for work. At work. Don't want to be at work. Got a phone call at work. Taking lunch. Going to a meeting. Back from the meeting. Please at least TRY to be entertaining! Similarly, I don't need hourly texts from you regarding the above. No more over-communicating.

2. People who try to tell me how to treat my dogs. If I want to give them a few licks of milkshake and then let them sleep on my bed in my air-conditioned room, it's my business. (Both of those things MIGHT have happened yesterday.)

3. The level of tan-ness from the cast of Jersey Shore.

Now.... How about your girls?? What kinds of things irritate you?

1) People who buy expensive sports cars with huge engines, and then drive under the speed limit. WTF is that?

2) On the dog front: people who don't give their dogs oodles of love and attention. I know I go overboard with mine, but to treat a dog as anything less than a beloved member of the family makes me furious (inspired by idiot neighbor who refers to their darling mutt as "it" and doesn't "believe in petting too much." I want to steal that dog and bring him home and give him belly rubs and call him sweetums until the cows come home.)

3) Anytime I hear of a father being upset with the gender of their child, I get stabby. I know this bugs all of us, but seriously. I would never forgive my husband for saying something like that. Which is why I married a guy who would NEVER say or think something like that.

4) Cupcake Wars on the Food Network. I like cupcakes. You like cupcakes. This show is stupid.

5) That Willy Wonka commercial, with the CGI oompa loompa singing under the waterfall. It's creepy. I don't care for it.

I'll play.

1) People who don't know how to merge or yield. I see at least 1 person EVERY day who can't figure this out. It's not that hard!

2) My co-worker. He is HOURS late every day, and yeah.. don't get me started. (Colinda knows a little about this)

3) When Americans (sorry, I really, really love you all) say Ruff instead of ROOF.

This is totally random but I HATE whispering. I don't like it when people whisper in my ear and I also think it's awkward if you're with other people who are whispering. I just hate the sound of peoples voices when they whisper and the thought of someone's steamy breath in my ear :::shivers::: Now if DH and I are messing around, that's a different story - he's allowed to whisper sweet nothings! I thought of this because we played board games with some friends over the weekend and we were in teams. It grossed me out to have person after person in my ear talking about strategy - especially the people that I didn't know very well.

1. All the drug head, moron, lazies that I work with.

2. People who just eat or drink something of yours without asking. Don't touch my stuff, gross.

3. Slow drivers in the fast lane.

4. When someone calls you and miss the call and you call them right back and they don't answer.

I could go on and on but don't want to look like a crazy.

#1 totally my co-worker and i have a long running joke about these people and will randomly send eachother e-mails detialing our days to eachother to be funny. (mostly because we do the same exact job)

#2 OMG yes, the people who tell me that I shouldn't be taking my dogs for a walk because it's cold out....THEY HAVE FREAKIN FUR!!

#3 People who want to do crap they're not supposedto then be the first to call someone else out on it.

#4 my clueless co-irker

I will try to limit my list.

#1 The truck driver who passed me just so I could slow down and wait on him when he had to stop at the rail road tracks.

#2 Job ads that don't tell you that it's really just a temp position

#3 Whoever the H--- is stealing potatoes from my road side stand, I really hope they are stealing them because their children would starve if they didn't.

Students. Students bug me.

Also, I might just say "Ayup" to Allison's whole list.

And the ruff/roof thing. I say roof here and everyone looks at me like I'm a freak. I'm also unkeen on the fact that the universe hasn't figured out whether it should be gray or grey. In *THIS* house, it's GREY, no matter what Crayola says.

My friends who call me and complain about their kids through the whole phone call. Look, I LOVE my friends. And I can say this with assurance: We, collectively, have good kids. We should b!tch about them less. I try to lead by example.

OH. And here's something that bugs me: People who judge me by the way my children look. My daughter's 7. If she wants to dress like Punky Brewster, she can knock herself out. Similarly, my son is 4. If he wants to dress like Alex P Keaten on backwards day, he, too, can knock himself out. Also, his hair stands straight up. There's nothing that can be done, short of a buzz cut and in this house, we're far too hippy for buzz cuts. So there. Deal with his perma-bed-head. It's AWESOME.

OK, I had something to say about everyone's!!!

Allison- I overheard DH telling his friend that he secretly hopes we get a boy 1st. The friend must have asked, "What if it's a girl?" because he said, "They make dirt bikes with pink handles- and she'll have all the pink gear she wants." Love that man. I don't mind when people make wishes, but Dads that gripe about it should go play in trafffic.

Carrie- I'm making an honest effort to say ROOF in your honor!!

Mocha- It's all about the bubble. DH is allowed in yours, so his whispering is seksi. I agree, with everyone else, it's kinda goose-bump inducing.

Dondra- If someone steals from my plate, they get stabbed with a fork.

Huggin- Annoying co-irkers are awful. As if it's not bad enough we have to BE at work in the first place.

Kristy- I love- LOVE- that you have a roadside farm stand. I think it's very cool. PIP sometime!!!!

Grrr- My 5-year-old neice and I believe that super-clean kids don't play hard enough. And tell lil' man to keep rockin' the bedhead.

Love you girls!

This!! I was just bemoaning this last night as I was trying to find a grey clutch. I don't want a gray one, I want a grey one.

Want a personalized experience?
