What Pisses You Off?

[Bertha Venation]

[Tuesday Afternoon]

1. You First.

Right now, this guy at work named Rick is really pissing me off. I need some vibes.

[Bertha Venation]

3. Drivers on the beltway.

Here are the best vibes I can send, just for you. :vibes:

[TZ]

2. Obsessed family members

Who have nothing better to do with their lives than cyber stalk me. Nuff said.

[tigereye]

4. rudeness and indifference - well, violence and kids shooting kids, as well

Happy New Year to you and Mrs. V Bertha, and wishes for a more relaxing year! :hug:

[redqueen]

5. How much time have you got?

Bad drivers. (It's really not that hard.)
Rude co-workers.
Getting old.
STILL no teleporters.
Not having sex.
My ex. (There's a whole chapter on its own right there.)
Being so gullible.
Being such a self-pitier sometimes.
My cat's fondness for digging things out of the hall closet.
Being lonely.
etc etc etc

6. a new one

You know streets that aren't quite wide enough for two cars to pass each other and miss the parked cars? Sometimes one car has to wait for the oncoming car to pass... Lately on several occasions, when I yield to the car coming at me, some asshole behind me pulls around and plows ahead causing a mini traffic jam because there is now no place for either of the cars to pull into to let the other pass. Do the assholes behind me think I am pulling over to let them pass? Do they even notice that there is another car coming? Have they noticed that both sides of the street are crammed with parked cars and that there is no room? How clueless people are of their surroundings when they are driving infuriates me.

7. Idiots and their BOOM BOOM cars

That and the homophobic and pro-war talking points.

[KitchenWitch]

8. Bigotry in any flavor.

[redqueen]

9. And for a serious answer...

inconsiderate / selfish behavior.

10. What doesn't piss me off?

Off the top of my head, the following things/situations piss me off:

1. Plastic packaging

2. Poor and/or dangerous cell phone etiquette

3. That guy who was ahead of me in the express lane (grocery store) with more than 20 items, slooowly paid by check, and also decided to fill out the application to get the discount card. Oh, and he filled out his check incorrectly too which still confuses me.

4. When someone is in my way, and I politely say "excuse me" and they either don't move or they'll do the ever so generous half inch shuffle. assholes.

5. The ridiculous price of coffee

6. The person who, while driving on the interstate, will go below the speed limit while hanging out in the left lane. this person almost always will speed up when you attempt to finally pass them.

7. I piss myself off when I go to a Starbucks for a quick, hassle free coffee because A) it's too expensive and I know better and B) I get annoyed at the person in front of me that orders something with 20 words in the description but inevitably I know I only have myself to blame for going into the store in the first place. Seriously though, ordering a drink that, by description, has foam and then asking for no foam? WHY?

8. Riding in the car with someone who will take 20 minutes driving around the parking lot for a "good parking space" in decent weather. This is especially annoying when you're going to a mall or somewhere where you know you'll be walking the whole time anyway.

9. Passive aggressive guilt trips. If you're upset at something I did or didn't do, then speak up. I currently do not have the ability to go back in time to fix a minor issue you had 5 years ago and I'm not about to feel guilt because you were too chicken shit to speak up when the event happened.

10. Anyone who passes judgment on me for what I teach my child. My job as a parent is to raise a fully functional member of society and ignorance (as well as bigotry) simply does not fit into this equation.


Thanks for the rant opportunity! :D

[Bertha Venation]

14. YAY!

That's the spirit! :bounce:

[taterguy]

11. Sanctimonious cyclists

Those pricks don't realize that some people need their cars

[JVS]

16. They're the fucking worst

[Rambis]

12. sycophants and arse lickers

I am very tired of people who are impressed with someone's title and or perceived standing in the world.:rant:

[ET Racer]

13. Net Parrots

I read it on the internets...it must be true.:rofl:

[Ptah]

15. Loud television commercials.

:mad: :grr: :nuke: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :cry: :banghead: :rant:

[Fleshdancer]

18. The same goes for renting movies that have loud music and quiet dialog

On some dvds, we have to turn the volume way up to hear what the actors are saying, then suddenly we're jumping out of our skin when the booming music starts and we're scrambling to turn the volume all the way down. I HATE that.

[JVS]

17. People

[progressoid]

19. my prostate

:grr:

[NJmaverick]

20. I think my what doesn't piss me off, is a shorter list

[Fire Walk With Me]

21. Bullshit like THIS:

[Heidi]

22. It takes a _lot_ in most cases,

but bigotry and deliberate mean-spiritedness kinda are among the few things that _instantly_ piss me off.

[lunatica]

23. Having my intelligence insulted

And yes. I've been pissed off for the last 8 years.

[LanternWaste]

24. When I make a mistake for no other reason than...

When I make a mistake for no other reason than simply not paying attention to what I'm doing.

(and loud noises, too... :P )

[SeattleGirl]

25. At this moment, the fact that I woke up with

my head stuffed up and feeling like it's 10 times bigger than it normally is.

Goddamned allergies!

[rug]

26. Waiting in line at a convenience store to buy cigarettes while someone is buying lottery tickets.

:mad:

[Bertha Venation]

30. Hear, hear!!

And another thing -- and I confess I am judging -- why in god's name do people spend literally hundreds of dollars on lottery tickets??

[rug]

31. What's worse is waiting while someone tries to claim a losing ticket.

I'm surprised there aren't more homicides than robberies at convenience stores.

[BeachBaby]

27. Manipulation and mind games. eom.

[JitterbugPerfume]

28. right wing radio

bananas that turn to mush in two days

paying almost $8 for 10oz of coffee beans (store brand , organic)

stupid people

people who abuse pets

the neighbor who own that jack russell that barks and growls at me everytime I go to my mailbox

National serv all that expects me to drag my trash up to the "road "( about a football fields length away)in ice and snow even after I explained to them that I amd 68 and afraid of falling because our road isn't plowed(private road) while charging me a fortune although I recycle most of it

Capitol One who didn't send my e mail (I pay online) until Jan26 and informed me that it was due on Jan22 and when I asked them to remove the $35 late charge they informed me that it is my responsibility to know when my bills are due. I HATE CAPITOL ONE

[Tikki]

29. When someone disses or slights or ignores or....

even mentions something even slightly negative about a member of my family.

Of course it has only happened a couple times...but watch out if it does.
