That's annoying.

I am told that I am annoyed by little things, so I thought it might be interesting to make a list of annoying things.

ok, to start with.

A dripping faucet.
People with their brights on.
The fly that won't leave you alone.

I'll continue it later. Add on anything that annoys you.

Re: That's annoying.

The letter "O" is not a number on my telephone, it is a "zero"

I do not have a "hot water heater". I have a "water heater". Why would I spend money to heat hot water?

You do not have a 2 1/2 half car garage. You have a large 2 car garage or a 2 car garage with a storage area. Maybe a 2 1/2 car garage would come in handy if you ever bought 1/2 a car.

Dare I say, saving seats at the championship?

Re: That's annoying.

People who don't stop at stop signs
People who don't use signals to change lane
Tailgaiters
People who use their cell phones while driving
People who read while driving
People who conduct business while driving
People who pull out in front of you and don't step on the gas
Bikers who have very loud pipes (They don't save lives)
People who drive below the posted speed limit
People who drive slow in the fast lane

I'll think of more later

Sorry, this is off topic... But I saw a lady the other day that had to have been 70 driving while talking on a cell phone. That is annoying and slightly funny.

To add on:
People who use big words to appear intelligent(most of them are not really as smart as they let on.)
People who take good statistics and use them to mislead someone.
People who can't go two minutes without cussing.

OMG Please say it ain't so... NOTHING scares me more than "blue hairs" behind the wheel in my work zone.... and now you say granny got a phone.

I wonder if anyone makes a armored safety vest

Re: That's annoying.

I know this is an old thread, but something really annoyed me.

I was doing a math problem and I was on problem 17. I was having trouble on part B so I was going to check the back of the book to see if the answer gave me an idea. You see, odd numbers are always in the back but not the even. B wasn't there. There was A and C but no B. I noticed all of the problems were like that. They have A C E but not B D F. The book seems to think that B is an even letter. So on to my pet peeve.

THERE ARE NOT EVEN LETTERS. Odd and even only applies to numbers. Not letters.

Re: That's annoying.

People not reading the game manual and then posting questions with "obvious" answers found in the rules. That annoys me to no end... Especially when it's the nth thread on the topic.

Re: That's annoying.

People who cut me off when im on a bike and yell "get on the sidewalk jerk!" even though im going 25mph on a 25mph road.

When people make fun of me for riding a bike everywhere (i dont have a license yet and a bike is much cheaper than a car. expecially with gas!) and its a nice bike too. a jamis ventura sport.
