What quirky things that people do really grate on you?

Snapping chewing gum.
Ending every sentence or sentence fragment with a rising intonation.
Continually sniffling (inhaling) instead of blowing their nose, especially when it’s a very wet matter.
Talking nonstop.
Leaving things open (drawers, cupboards, closets).

People pestering my about my quirky habits. . .

I can’t stand when people don’t make distinctions between words that sound similar. Gist and just, accept and except, than and then, etc.

When they leave the area around the sink soaking wet.
It drives me nuts, especially in my own house!!!
When people say ” pin number”

I hate when someone makes a statement, and then adds “right?” or “you know?” at the end, as if they need my validation on everything they say.

@babirurtle36: and “atm machine?” I hate that.

when i wake up in the morning i sit down and i hear people crunch on there cereal and slurp the milk out of the bowl…when people huff and puff because they can’t breathe when they eat…people who take huge bites then can’t chew with there mouth closed…i get SUPER uber mad when i can’t find things…and last but not least when people talk for hours on end about pointless stuff that none cares (like theres this one girl that will talk to you for 3 hours about how she thinks how ankle socks are bad because its shows too much skin or how she thinks lemons are gross because there yellow.

@SuperMouse sounds like someone is ready for their first drum set

As for me, I dont like loud eaters,
people that drive slow in the fast lane,
or someone that invades my bubble (like close talkers)

@petethepothead I dont like it when someone packs a bowl and then takes the first hit themselves, which is usually the same guy that passes the piece seperate from the lighter, you know?

- People who talk on their cell phones while driving
– People who throw litter out the window when they’re driving
– Shoppers who have 36 items in their grocery cart and then end up going to the express line for 15 items or less
– People who finish my sentences for me when I talk
– People who carry on conversations all through a movie in a theatre
– People who describe a movie they saw and tell you the entire plot and ending when you haven’t seen the movie yet
– Drivers that don’t use turn signals
– People that don’t understand the concept of personal space and stand 6 inches away from me when they talk
– People who sing, loudly, to whatever is currently playing on the radio when they have no discernible talent for singing in the first place

@Jeruba…Popping gum is my number 1.

If you keep trying to finish my sentences while I am than you are a dick.

Anyone who calls me “hon”.

Anyone who is thinking of how they are going to respond while I am talking instead of listening to what I’m saying.

I also detest anyone that believes their flaws make them special.

@Bluefreedom right on. I despise people that talk during a movie, concert, play, or any event of that sort.

at bluefreedom hey have you seen marley and me.. i saw it it was a great movie…it was so so sad at the end though the *** ******* **** got attacked by aliens the end… jk i didn’t want to ruin it for you

@jdogg. Thanks for the laugh. :o)

@tennesseejac
What’s wrong with the packer taking the first hit? I see no problem with that, especially if it’s the packer’s shit.

My problem is that I unthinkingly pass the lighter upside down. I have to make a conscious effort not to do that.

It also makes me crazy when people end sentences with the superfluous “at” like that’s where it is at.

@SuperMouse
Spoken english is full of superfluous prepositions. Get used to it.

Also people that don’t know how to drive on the interstate.

I’m going to enter my Personal Identification Number Number on the Automated Teller Machine Machine.

@Vinifera7 that’s true but that one just really gets to me for some reason. I could handle you taking the first hit, and even handing me the lighter upside down, just don’t ask me where the bong is at.

Or at least I would be ok with those things if I wasn’t wayyy too old and paranoid to get high anymore.

@Vinifera7 where Im from its just the way it is
Plus as long as the first person does not burn the entire bowl (you are suppose to start on one side so everyone gets a “green hit”), then everyone will get stoned.
its just the way it is

Scraping silverware on a plate while eating. Auuuuugggghhhh!!!!!

I don’t care for loud, jarring, foot tapping in a trailer, or pen tapping, or clicking when I’m trying to think. I despise it when people ask me what I’m doing when it is quite clear what I’m doing, or where I’m going. I also hate for people to ask me “what’s wrong” every time I stop to take a breath. Nothing’s wrong, I just don’t have anything to chatter about at this instant. GRrrr

Leaving things open, or leaving chairs pulled out from a table or desk. They are minor irritations, though, nothing I really get grumbly up about.

Oh, also when people leave the water running, or the lights on in a room no one is in. I also don’t like for all the blinds in the house to be open, I feel like I’m on display.

People who make a lot of noise with their silverware when they eat. And when they use it in movies for dramatic effect. The sound of silverware clinking against anything, but especially teeth, makes my skin crawl.

People who chew with their mouth open, especially with gum.

People who talk on their cell phones when in a restaurant.

People who text while you are having a conversation with them.

Slow drivers in the passing lane.

Heavy perfume users.

People that like, like use the word like, in like every sentence.

I can’t stand it when people say “I could care less.”

I always wonder if they realize what they’re actually saying.

@bridold, here’s an older thread on that very topic.

@Jeruba That’s hilarious that there is a whole thread on it. Thanks.

cell phones in restaurants and theatres
licking fingers before shuffling papers
asking directions at toll booths
