Things that annoy you in everyday life....

Oh, I forgot. People that smoke cigarettes right outside my window and then get pissed off when I don't like my house smelling like an ashtray. On top of that, they sit out there on the damn cell phone so we can hear them like they're in our fucking house. I swear, the Midwest and the South didn't get the memo that cigarettes kill. Everyone in Indiana fucking smokes and it kills me because I haven't had a butt in months now.

:rofl: I love the idiotic customers who bring their game systems into my store, and ask me if I can fix them. Usually it's a simple issue too that they could have looked up on google (such as resetting the PS3's video settings by holding down the power button, or the PS2's parental lock).

Oh, some more!:

-People who go store hopping to look for a rare game such as Okami, when they could have just ordered it online from their home. Then they complain about no stores having it, or my stores copy being in crappy shape. Or the ones that are upset because stores no longer carry retro games. I tell them that you can get all of these from online shopping, and they tell me it's "too much of a hassle".

-Customers who don't understand the concept of lining up. I would be ringing up customers, and some douchebag cuts in front of everyone, and starts asking me a bunch of questions like they're important. Seriously, wtf.


As you can see, I cannot stand retail. My last day with GameStop is tomorrow! WOOO!
 
Most Rap Music.
Country Music.
People that can't drive.
Walmart how lame it really is.
The lack of people caring about anything.
How people live.
People on cell phones all the time.
The people here in general :lol:
 
[quote name='guinaevere']Do guys talk on their cellphones while in the restrooms? I can't tell you how bizarre I find it that there are girls talking on the phone while using a public restroom. That's just... ew.[/quote]

Guys do it too (#1 or #2, it doesn't matter), which always bothers the hell out of me. Have some respect for the person you're talking to. They do not want to hear you taking a dump.

Lateness really annoys me. Like when my wife says we will be leaving at 5:30 and don't actually make it out the door until 6:15 or something like that.

My wife's family tells her that events are an hour before they really start so we're only fashionably late when we stroll in a half hour after it really starts.

Thats seriously me. All my friends know that if they tell me that something starts at 8 I wont even come close to being there until around 9 30.

I am completely scatter brained (Any CAG can tell you this) and have a horrible memory making to almost impossible for me to get to things on time.

I know it sucks for my friends but hey....what can I do? Work calls I have to go.

My boss talks to clients and customers while he's on the shitter. Doing either number one or two. It's fucking disgusting and I always picture the looks on the faces of the people he's talking to when they hear "Heeeruuugh *fart, splash*" :puke:
 
When I say something, and someone else in the room follows it up, usually laughing, with "He said" and then repeats what I just said.

Me: That guy's a dick.
Them: He said 'that guy's a dick'!

It's even worse when we're the only two people in the room. Really? Is that what I said? Well, you'd think I would know that, since I fucking said it.
 
The idiots that yell "What" during wrestling matches. Really? You think that you're really contributing to the show?

Myself for watching said wrestling matches
 
I hate ppl who talk out loud to themselves!!

especially when the only reason theyre doing it is becoz other ppl are around them and they want attention and other ppl to look at them!!
 
I also hate corporate lingo.

"Our dynamic work environment offers a robust, cooperative effort where our employees- whom we really consider our family- are given the tools to get the job done right. Our 'get it done right' philosophy is integral to our company, and efficiency, cost-effectiveness and a hard worth ethic contributes to our many successes as a workplace."

First off, moronic fucking buzzwords like "robust" and "dynamic" are fucking stupid. Stop trying to sound like some over-paid yuppie who scrounged through a thesaurus to justify his undeserved paycheck. Secondly, the "get it done right philosophy". That's the motto of the company I work for, and it makes my stomach bleed to hear it. What, is there a motherfucking "get it done WRONG philosophy"? Shut the fuck up, you aren't some super company who does everything right, and everyone sees through your shenanigans. I know first hand that we "get it done right" about 60% of the time. By the way, playing solitaire, cruising porn and hitting up titty bars after a nice lunch of Taco Bell do not equal a hard work ethic.

"Let me kick it around and I'll touch base with you next week. Stay classy."

Touch base? Get the fuck out. That wasn't clever in the 1990's.

"Well, you know it is what it is."

No comment. Just :bomb:.

"Thoughts?"

I've seen emails concluded with only this word and it's fucking annoying. Ask for input like a normal human being rather than trying to appear modern and off the cuff. No matter how hard the CFO tries to act like "one of the boys", the fact remains they'll continue to hate him because he gets ten times the money for a tenth of the work.

This thread is strangely cathartic.
 
People who walk into the front door of our store without realizing it's a "pull". Happens at least a dozen times a day - loud ass noise, followed by the amusing act of trying to cover it up.

When i worked at a video store years ago, there was this one guy who came in all the time that was kinda goofy, good guy, just not very aware. He came in late one night and i locked the door after he came in. Well, after i rang up his stuff and he was ready to go, he walked toward the door. Before i could get the words out, he went to push the door open and did a face plant right into the glass. It took everything i had to not crack up laughing.
 
People who use the words right or wrong to describe someone's work, life, etc.

"That is the wrong way to mop a floor/buy grocery/ make a living/ solve a problem"

Rather than say things like effective, efficient, healthy, etc. Drives me up a wall, and it just sounds so authoritarian and black and white and egocentric.

EDIT: And also people that think that respect is an all encompassing state of mind held towards person. Rather than, respecting certain actions, positions, and opinion.

Example: People who don't respect a teacher/boss/ whomever, because of something they disagree with that he/she; said, did, or acted. A person can dislike a teacher as person or even as teacher, but could you please not interrupt them during lecture, or make mean remarks under your breath. Respect their position as a teacher, and if you don't like them as people talk to them outside of the classroom or when a discussion is relevant.

Sometimes that's the best way to get your point across. Some things are black and white and shouldn't be prettied up with adjectives. Instead of getting bitter, ask what needs to be done to make it right.

It not matter of just "pretty adjectives/adverbs", its a matter of how someone thinks, and how one treats someone else. I am not actively trying to sugar-coat something, I legitimately do not view something as right or wrong.

What is a better way to go about fixing a situation where someone is misguided in their actions?

"You are doing that wrong. Let me show you the right way."

or

"Why are you choosing to do it that way? It seems to me that X would be more time consuming and frustrating. I usually use the Y method because of such and such reason."

I am not bitter about it, its frustrating and hinders progression and understanding, when someone just labels something as the wrong thing to do. It just makes people upset, and eliminates thought.

It just like calling someone "stupid". Yup, you called them stupid, and what did that accomplish besides calling them a name....nothing.

Consider that not everyone is as elegant as you. That type of thing causes conflict all of the time and it could be because they think or treat some one else in a certain way or because they just never thought to say your second example. I don't think it matters most of the time as long as the other person understands what you're trying to say.

And in the same vein, the elegant individual might get upset over the former, but the not so elegant could got upset over the latter. He could assume that you think he's dumb so you have to spell every little thing out to him or that you think you're so smart to talk simply. Both could be false, but it's a two way street. A nice, not belligerent individual can get the point and move on.

there's nothing elegant about it.

Example. me when I am in charge of the kitchen at the playhouse I work at: talking to dish washers.

"hey I think it would be faster if you put the coffee rack on the trash can its faster because its right next to dirty coffee cups, and plus you don't have to bend down to grab them...that always kills my back."

If that upsets or offends you, then you must have either a giant ego or even bigger self-confidence issues.

Bottomline: You are wrong and my way is the Right way. (annoying isn't it)
 
Neither would upset me, because I could get the point and move on. And it's obvious that the tone in your bottom line is different than the example.

The tone is different, because of the words and form I used. words do matter. Hence, my point about using the words "right" and "wrong"

But some things are wrong and people need to be called out on it. Your kind of thinking is the reason why this new generation is full of pussies and babies. Self-esteem is more important than right and wrong these days and it's a fucking shame. If you can't take someone telling you what you're doing is wrong, then maybe you have problems. If someone spells things out, people can think they're retarded. When you say they did something wrong, they know they're retarded.

EDIT -- To continue this: If you feel you're still in the right after being told you're wrong, you should stand up for yourself like a man. Tell the person why you think you're right and let him respond. All this New Wave self-esteem bull shit has failed our youth because they never get real criticism so they never know how to stand up to real critiscism.

I agree with a lot of the stuff on here, but to add some original items:

  • Overuse of ellipses (particularly on the Internet). It makes you sound like a nebulous fool. Also if you mispell an ellipsis (it has three dots, not four or twenty-seven).
  • When people block escalators, disallowing you to pass them.
  • Commuting 1+ hours every day.
  • When people make assumptions (we all do it, including me; still doesn't make it right)
  • Adding a space before commas and punctuation -- I've only ever seen Mark Cuban and foreign people do this so I don't really know where it's coming from.
 
+ Ice Cream Trucks & their music
+ People who don't bother to learn English when they live in the USA
+ the cotton ball at the top of some pill bottles
+ People who take little kids to see R rated movies late at night
+ People who win auctions on eBay and then don't pay
+ People who write "would of" instead of "would've"

This. I go out for a run every day, and on Tuesdays the fucking ice cream truck circles the route I take like 100 times. That music is so goddamn annoying.
 
Oooh wait, I've got a good one.

I'm in High School, so I see this a lot: people who play basketball/football/volleyball/cheerleading/whatever sport, and do it every year, and then complain every single day about going to practice.

It's like, Jesus. Stop.
