10 Things That Really Annoy Me About People

Here are ten things that really annoy me that people do...

1) Not giving a wave when driving or using your turn signal: When someone lets you in, you need to wave to them to say thanks, otherwise you're a jerk. And there's turn signals on your car, so why can't half the population use them? Don't look at ME like I'm the bad driver when I have to slam on my brakes behind you because you didn't use your signal and you are now turning.

2) When answering a text, you reply "ok": First of all, I know sometimes people are busy and you can't have a full conversation, but really? "Ok" responses piss me off because it makes me think a) It's really not ok or b) You don't really care to whatever I just said to you. So, at least say something like "Sounds good" or "Yeah, that's fine" so I at least know you are reading what I said to you.

3) When you're having a hard time, people respond with a stupid quote: When you try and talk to someone about your problems, they say something like "Life's Not Fair" or "Don't Worry, Be Happy" or something along those lines. Gee, thanks for taking 5 minutes out of your time to give an answer that you didn't even create. I already know life's not fair, but that isn't going to make me feel any better!

4)Being late 99.9% of the time: I know sometimes you can't help being late, but you can when you are almost always late...if people are expecting you, you really should show up on time because otherwise, it's just rude. And if you are going to be late, let them know!

5) Not telling someone that you're upset with them: I am the first person to admit I hate confrontation. I would rather avoid it, but whenever I am upset at someone, I tell them. This way you can solve the problem...those people out there keeping their feelings to themselves: the problem will never get fixed and you'll just end up more upset as time goes on. People can't read your mind, so speak up!

6) When you act like you know a topic when you really don't: I can't stand it when peope pretend to know something, but they really have no information, and are just pretending they do. For an example, I hate when people pretend they are a fan of sports, but have no clue what's going on. No one cares if you don't watch it, but stop acting like you know everything about it, but can't even pronounce the players names correctly.

7) Some people are just plain lucky all.the.time: Okay, so maybe these so few lucky people can't really help their "luckiness", but it still annoys me sooo much. Why/how do you get this lucky and where can I sign up? Even if I had half their luck, I think I'd be set for life.

8) Laughing so loudly in a restaurant/store: I'm not sure why this bothers me so much, but there are just some people I HEAR that are so freakin' loud everywhere they go, and I just want to tell them to use their whisper voices!! Especially when I am at work, and all I can hear in the back room is people (mostly drunkos buying more alcohol) laughing so hard throughout the aisles. No one wants to hear you laugh that loud, not even your friends that you're with, so shut your trap.

9) Stories that start with "I don't mean to offend you, but...": This is exactly what you meant to do, you just don't want to look like a jerk saying it without putting that in front of it. If you have to say that before what comes next, just don't say anything at all.

10) Expecting someone to know how to do something without telling them: I'm sure this happens more commonly to me because I sub, but there have been times that there have been no plans left for me, yet I am expected to know how to dismiss the kids at the end of the day, when their specials are,etc. And even if you don't have this specific thing happen to you, I'm sure you know what I mean. When you're given a task at work (that's a new thing you've never done before), and your boss expects you to know how to do it....why can't you just show me so I know? I promise, I will remember for next time. And it's even worse when they get mad that you did it WRONG. Well, sue me because I had no clue what in the hell I was doing. :)

The list could go on and on....but I think I'll end here before people think all I do is get annoyed.
