Do you ever get annoyed...

[Traci Reed]

by STUPID things?

Like...someone standing next to me a drinking too loud...the glug glug glug makes me kinda nauseously annoyed. Patrick was chewing ice yesterday and I gave him a dirty look. I guess sounds can really annoy me more than anything else?

Anyway do you ever get :cursing::cursing::cursing: over something you KNOW is stupid but you can't help it?

[nun69]

all the time!!!!!!!!!

one of my biggest things is looking at some peoples pics that they post on FB and they are TOTALLY COMPLETELY NOT IN FOCUS...REALLY!!!! Like why do you even bother posting that when you can't even tell who it is!!! Anooys me to no end!!!

[lovely1m]

Yes, most often when I have PMS, but yeah, sometimes you just know its stupid, but you feel it anyway. I have one going on right now actually.

[Gemma]

Omg yes! Steve always tells me off cos I'm always annoyed by stupid things lol!!!

[thompsonc2007]

People blowing their nose at the table and not using turn signals are my biggies. Especially the blowing the nose at the table thing...how disgusting!!!

[Lyd]

My whole life is pretty much one big long string of being annoyed by stupid things. Lol. And the eating and drinking sounds are HUGE triggers for me. I silently grr at DH for that exact thing all. the. time.

[Nikki Epperson]

Mine is actually crunching. Ice, chips, anything crunchy... I go a bit crazy.

[tanyiadeskins]

omg... my middle dd chewing with her mouth open... it literally makes me ill, so disgusting!

[Milmomma]

Mine's more of feelings... if my dh is sitting beside me and bouncing his leg so it vibrates me. I go crazy! Or if I'm not that close but its vibrating the couch, same reaction.

[nun69]

omg... my middle dd chewing with her mouth open... it literally makes me ill, so disgusting!

omg...I don't chew with my mouth open, but my jaw pops and my DH hates it! sometimes he will even go in the other room to eat cause it bugs him so much! Even though he knows there is nothing I can do about it LOL!

[YepBrook]

Definitely!!! Especially when I am PMS'ing... or pregnant. My pet peeve lately isn't eating or drinking noises like it usually is... it's stuff like DH picking at his fingernails and when he flips the radio stations in the car constantly. :D I once got overly miffed at a friend (while I was pregnant and particularly *touchy*) who called artisan bread : are-TEE-zhun. Um, no... it's ar-TIH-sehn! I didn't say anything to her because I knew it was SO stupid to get annoyed about, but I talked to DH about it for days . Poor guy. :p LOL!!!!

[emmasmommy]

yes. it'd be easier to list the things that DON'T randomly annoy me :)

[Nikki Epperson]

yes. it'd be easier to list the things that DON'T randomly annoy me :)

Snort

[lovely1m]

People blowing their nose at the table. Especially the blowing the nose at the table thing...how disgusting!!!

This gets me, too! Its so gross.

[haydensmommy217]

yes. it'd be easier to list the things that DON'T randomly annoy me :)

lol... this is me 1000%

[LeeAndra]

This whole weekend was like that for me!! :cursing:

DH cutting his toenails in the living room
DH flossing his teeth in the living room
DH saying, 'Can you hear that?' (rather than 'Could you turn it up, please?') when he sits down to watch a TV show I have on
DH saying, 'Are you cold?' when I get up from the table or am in the car and put a sweater on
SS asking, 'Can I eat that?' when DD pauses between bites at a meal
SS asking this weekend if I thought it was possible that the dog could be smarter than DD (!!!)
DH poking/prodding/picking at SS to make him yelp/scream while they are walking upstairs to his room after I've just gotten DD to sleep
local drivers who wait until the last minute to merge into the exit lane on the interstate that is backed up for 2 miles
people who text and drive
people who eat and drive
people who talk on their cell phone and drive

[Lyd]

Mine's more of feelings... if my dh is sitting beside me and bouncing his leg so it vibrates me. I go crazy! Or if I'm not that close but its vibrating the couch, same reaction.

YES! This is another huge one for me. Seems like DH is ALWAYS bouncing his leg. I also really hate when I'm sitting next to someone and our arms are just barely touching. Drives me nuts! But, really, I'm like Laura too. It'd be easier to list the things that don't annoy me.

[solagratia]

Yes, most often when I have PMS, but yeah, sometimes you just know its stupid, but you feel it anyway. I have one going on right now actually.
this. hahaha

[LJSDesigns]

My trigger is my mother sighing. She has this big dramatic sigh, like life is just too much to bear, that gets under my skin. Worst part is I've started to notice I sigh just like that when I am annoyed, which just makes me madder.

[eranslow]

I can't stand the way my fil breathes. That's the only one that I can think of right now.

[ZaCola3]

Mine is actually crunching. Ice, chips, anything crunchy... I go a bit crazy.

Oh I crunch ice compulsively you would hate me irl.

I think getting ticked over silly stuff is the norm...like right now-Connor is pissing me off beyond words and all he is doing is standing at the fridge with it wide open...I'm gonna punch him. (not really, but I wanna)

[KristinCB]

BIGtime, it affects my life. :(

[SeattleSheri]

Yes, often. I really wish that I wasn't as sensitive about those type of things.

[Melissa Bennett]

I get so annoyed when I hear someone chewing food, especially if they are chewing with their mouth open. My big thing is when at a red light and someone in a car near me keeps creeping up into the intersection like it is gonna make the light turn green faster or something. If I am in the car with someone and they are doing that I flip out! LOL!! Oh ya, I used to chew ice and when I got my iron levels under control it stopped. :)

[Sherri Tierney]

90% of the time I'm pretty laid back and not much bugs me. The other 10% of the time EVERYTHING bugs me. I can tell when I'm getting in to one of 'those' moods too. I just tell my family that I'm irritable and they get this 'oh joy' look on their face and back off. LOL My DH, for example, is always doing things to annoy me (on purpose). Most of the time I laugh it off, call him a brat or something and be done with it. Every now and then though it hits me particularly wrong and I bite his head off. I always go back and apologize later but gosh... ugh. It's so hard not to get irritated now and again.

[julifish]

I thought I was the only one that had an issue with chewing/swallowing sounds. I'm glad to know I'm not alone. Anytime kind of food eating sounds get to me, especially when one of my kids eats with their mouth open. I swear I could hear it across a crowded room.

[KayM]

Chewing and swallowing and any kind of eating noise drives me crazy. I thought it was just me, but my daughter has this too. She's alway fussing at her brother for making too much noise at the table.

Another thing that annoys me is when someone talks to me when I'm not in the room or can't possibly hear them. Why do they do that?? And it never fails when I am brushing my teeth with my electric tooth brush someone will come in and ask me something. There is no way I can hear them and no way I can answer them. I have told them this and no one pays any attention.

[tanyiadeskins]

ok... as emphasized while cleaning the house today... I absolutely LOATHE the dust that collects along the edge of the base boards of ALL the dang walls in the house! omg... hate hate hate it, drives me batty, .... *deep breath* the end.

[jessica31876]

yes...especially when I am already in a bad mood. I could make a list but really everything annoys me at ome point in time. Bad driving habits are at the top of that list.

[kresta]

- Yes, the chewing food near me drives me nuts, esp. when it's my kids.
- My kids looking over my shoulder to what I'm doing on the computer.
- My son asking questions for which he could just-as-easy-as-me figure out the answer. For example, I ask him to get his clothes out of the dryer and put them away and he asks if there are other family members' clothes also in the dryer or just his own.

There are plenty more, but I'll stop there. :)

[Freckles]

Whistling. I can't stand it and my husband and daughter do it all the time.
If this happens in the morning (that, or singing) I could seriously kill them.

[kscwgirl]

yes. it'd be easier to list the things that DON'T randomly annoy me :)

This. :)

My kids eating are really high on that list. Abby more than J. Kid makes me nutso. :cursing:

[maryinaz]

My DH does that bouncing leg thing, but only at church!! And since he is like a 12 year old, if I ask him to stop, he'll just do it more. So I have to try and ignore it.

Also, when any of my boys come in my office to talk to me, they HAVE to pick up something to mess with - click a pen, pull tape off the dispenser, etc. Stop. It.

[NatalieKW]

Oh I hate when people whistle just to whistle. To get someones attention is fine, but walking around whistling just for the hey of it...drives me nut!

[cbettua]

OMG, yes! My husband in the car in the morning. I hate it. Also when he is biting his lip, drives me crazy.

[scrapperjade]

I babysit for a friend, and her kids HUM when they eat. It drives me NUTS. It's not even a tune... just a hmm hmmm hmmmmm hmm hmm while they are eating. Just about drives me over the edge, lol.

[Lyd]

You would not survive living with my son. :cursing:

[sczos911]

when I see a child sucking on her own hair and her fingers. OMG. ICK.

First my girls know I'd cut their hair if I ever caught them sucking on it AND there is a little girl in DD#2's class that does this. DD#2 has even told the little girl, "eww dats gross. my mom would cut my hair if she saw me doing that!"

second - the constant fingers by the mouth. OMG EWwww. Kids fingers are DISGUSTING. And then in your mouth...ugh.

And lately - every word out of my girls mouth is annoying. Just the tone they use. *sigh*

[taracotta7]

Oh yea. Smacking lips and slurping are at the top of my list. Another that makes me batty is when my son farts or burps. I know it is natural but it annoys me. It is so gross. AND it is really hard to teach my son manners with it when my hubby say "Wow! Good one son!" I could kill him. Grrrrr

Oh........and my son being nosy about EVERYTHING.....convos, phone calls/texts and looking over my shoulder to my computer. I go a little more insane each time he does it. Ugh.

[jessica31876]

most of it has to do with people I do not know....like the people in the store who cannot wait for my stuff to get rung up before trying to move to the spot where you pay.

Or the car that sits and sits an sits until you get right up next to them and then they decide to pull out in front of you and proceed to go 20 miles an hour.

lots of other crap to do with peoples driving habits

[KimberlyMorris]

This daily scenario is one of my biggies.

Hubby: Do I have any clean work shirts?
Me: Did you look in the closet?
Hubby: No
Me: They are hanging up...In the closet, where they always are and have been for the last 8 years.

*bangs head*

[kendallt]

I have issues with sounds too, especially loud ones, and I can't stand it when people aren't taking their surroundings into consideration when talking or making noise. Sometimes I just want to tell total strangers to use their inside voices! :p

[marlathrall]

You totally should... And please, tape it. :)

My husband either pretends to not hear me or ignores me when I'm talking. Later, I will mention something and he will act all surprised. Like really, I told you all about it an hour ago.

My baby sister was hear for two weeks. She's ten and has a bad habit of leaving the empty packages to food on the counter. I told her I wouldn't be buying anything that came in a box if she did it again. lol.

[MandaT]

Mostly everything that DH and the kids do.... yeah, pretty much everything.

People who make it a point to criticize other people constantly (ie: this girl that works in the office where my office is, criticizes other businesses/people on a daily basis, about how they're not as good, it's weird, not how she would do it....)

People who think they are best at everything, been there done that, never gonna be anyone anywhere that is better...

[Kelly]

This whole weekend was like that for me!! :cursing:

DH poking/prodding/picking at SS to make him yelp/scream while they are walking upstairs to his room after I've just gotten DD to sleep


Oh my gosh, this, my husband is shocking at getting the girls all worked up just before bed, drives me insane!!

[Milmomma]

And lately - every word out of my girls mouth is annoying. Just the tone they use. *sigh*

For me this but with my son. His attitude. I don't know if its just cause he is growing up and becoming more obnoxious... I mean more rebellious or what. He gets this tone that makes me wanna just slap it out of him! I have to walk away and let his father deal with it. Specially when he does the "Yes, Moooother" line. Now he is no longer allowed to say that and sticks to yes, ma'am. :)

[ovaltine]

yes. it'd be easier to list the things that DON'T randomly annoy me :)

This. I'm beginning to think that I'm such a terrible person because little things irk me endlessly. I can't stand people who chew gum and talk at the same time. Basically all unnecessary loud noises are annoying; nobody can tolerate that, amirite? :D
Oh, and the lack of manner in public places. It actually drove me so mad I built my graduate thesis around it :D

[ovaltine]

My husband either pretends to not hear me or ignores me when I'm talking. Later, I will mention something and he will act all surprised. Like really, I told you all about it an hour ago.

Ugh. Totally my DH. He also changes subject all the time when I was talking. I told him that was very rude; and he got defensive (well you're topic are not interesting enough, etc.) :cursing: Sometimes for fun I just drop some conversation bombs to see if he's really listening/not. :thumbup:
