The Little Things That Annoy You Thread

[Otherside]

Yes, there are big things that frustrate you in life and that irritate you. But, there are also the little things. Perphaps it a celebrity that annoys you, or a song that keeps being repeated on the radio, or that sales marketing call telling you that you can claim compensation on the accident you apparently had six years ago...

So since there are the very little things, here's a thread for them.

For one, all the hype about this book was beginning to get irritating.



Especially after I heard it was based off a Twilight fanfiction.

That's just one thing. We all have little things.

- When I go to the supermarket and someone puts there had on the trolly, it drives me nuts.
- My blood boils when I see someone doing something for a resident in the nursing home that they can do themselves
- People who let other people control them
- Lazy nurses

people who dont say bye when texting, im supposed to know the conversation has ended, imho its just plain rude and inconsiderate

On that note, people who don't text back, then expect everything between the two of you to be cool. Especially if you're dating.

People who don't text back, and then presume you got some sort of subliminal meaning from the not texting back somehow, even though we were just texting and we're not actually talking face to face...jeez, I can't read your mind!

Exactly. Because jeez, can't you take a hint? My least favorite is probably when someone makes plans with me for a Friday, confirms them midweek with an "I'm sooo excited " and then doesn't answer the final text when I'm crossing town to pick her up. THEN she has the gall to get indignant about me texting a second time to say, "Hey, did you get my text? What's up?" She thinks WTF is this, 50 Questions? That's two in a row! How's a girl supposed to play it cool when she's directly asked to answer something!? This clearly goes against the rules of the game..

To add to that...If we make plans and she confirms them midweek or whatever, I don't send a last text when I'm on the way. I just show up at the time we were planning on. It's a lot harder to ignore someone when they're at your door. Then if she has an attitude, I'll see it on her face, and I won't have to spend the rest of the night / week / month wondering what the hell happened. I recommend women do this with men too. If you suspect a flake, act accordingly!

Ok. These aren't little things, but let me get these off my chest first. .............. sarcasm, gossip, blaming, yelling, power trips, stalkers, game playing and disrespect.

Ok. Now for the little things.

Oak tree leaves
People texting me because I get charged for each one
One of my cats who doesn't get along with 4 others which means I have to have a door in the middle of my house to mark their territories
Cat pee and barf where it shouldn't be
weed whacking and edging............. I don't mind mowing

[IllusionOfHappiness]

I feel like I have far too many of these. *deep breath* here we go!

When I ask someone nicely to quit doing something or bringing up a certain topic and they keep doing it anyway
When people constantly contradict themselves
Excessive noise
When I ask someone what's wrong and the reply with "oh, nothing"
People who spit on the sidewalk
Leggings worn as pants. They are not pants, and I have no interest in seeing every crack and crevice of anyone's naughty bits.
And of course as others have mentioned, game playing. I want the honest truth. I'm not about to guess your body language or look for hints. It's a waste of my time, and I feel like this sort of thing should have ended after middle school. Relationship-wise or otherwise, if someone has something they want me to hear I would much rather they just tell me straight up.

-The fact that I did aparently took out a loan ten years ago and I can now claim back on missold Payment Protection Insurance or something and I keep getting texts from some unknown number informing me of this. I wasn't aware that you could get a loan in elementary school, but apparently so, it's on there records...
-The "X" button on Spotify does not close Spotify, but minimizes it (???)
-The number of Emails Amazon send me on a daily basis!!!

This happens to me just about every single time. This is how I'm 'dumped' each time. We'll make plans for the weekend. Plans are concrete by mid week. I text her the night before just to make sure we are still on...text her several times the day when we had the plans. But then I don't hear from her until AFTER we were supposed to do something and then they tell me they were SO busy that they couldn't text me beforehand to say she couldn't do anything. I always finally get the text late on Sunday night so that there is no time to make other plans. Then the same thing happens the next week (if I give her another chance) and then I just decide that she has lost interest. ??? It happens just about all of the time. It aggravates me more and makes me feel a hell of a lot worse than if she would have just come out and say 'sorry, I don't think we should see each other'.
