Jackasses Who Annoy You - Vent Here
posted 1 year ago in General
OMG driving down the road behind some jackass talking on his cell or trying to dial out and he keeps braking and going 25 miles under the speed limit!!!! HELLO assface pull over and talk if you can't multi-task!!! Arrrgghhhh You know HE is the ONLY one on the road ya know,lol.
Cyclist on the (MY) trail who can't slow down and have to try and squeeze past me, my dog and a jogger or cyclist coming the other way. I swear I want to knock them over when they do that.
The woman who let her dog run all over the place and got mad at me when I explained that my perfectly behaved LEASHED dog doesn't love other dogs.
My ex-husband who bought my daughter a damn mustang and is giving her a hard time about paying for the driver's ed class. He is a dipshit of the highest order.
People who pull out in front of you when you are in cruise mode forcing you to brake to avoid hitting their obno self and if they'd of just waited 10 seconds more there is nothing but open road behind you. GAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!
A month or two ago I had to talk to one of our regular homeless patrons at the library where I work about the color-coded (!) highlighting he'd been adding to one of our Bibles (!!) and the offensive marginal notes he'd been making in our daily paper. That guy is quite specifically a Jackass Who Annoys Me.
I'm also not fond of anyone who talks on a cell phone in an inappropriate place, such as (say) the public library. I do not need to know the details of your fight with your boyfriend, the progress of your lawsuit, or the results of your colonoscopy!
I have a very long list, but the pic of the book set me off. I have seen people take a new book and BREAK the spine. I just about faint. Anyone that highlights, writes in the side panels like it is their friggen diary, folds over pages to mark their spot, or horror of horrors breaks the spine all need bitchslapped.
I won't even start on drivers.. the book part already has me too choked.
Overzealous salesmen. I've been getting estimates for a new roof, and one guy called me every single day for two weeks asking if I'd made up my mind. When I finally told him I was going with another contractor, he started criticizing my choice! Way to win customers. Cripes!
The book is nightmarish for someone who thinks abstractly. I have got to absorb a book and crap highlighters may as well cut the book into paragraph sized pieces and say, "Here, read this."
I literally cannot read with the distraction like that. You have got to be profoundly arrogant to mark up a library book and people like me never see it coming. I mean, I get the book home, settle in to read it, open it and find that.
When I take these books back, I always give them to the librarian. As far as I am concerned you've just got to take the thing out of circulation which is soooooo against the concept of a lending library.
People who tear up your belongings (however accidental it may be) and fail to mention it to you until you call them on it. Man up folks and claim you are sorry - all will be forgiven, but not to tell me and then act all 'suuuu-prised' when I mention that it appears that you broke my whatchit???? I hate that!
My husband's family. Not my parents-in-law; they're great. The rest of them can go scratch.
The book: This isn't college; that isn't your book to mark up, asshole.
Dangerous tail-gaters who tail-gate you at highway speed for no goddam good reason. I live in a flat, wide-open part of the country where you can see far ahead down the road, and I hate it when I get a tail-gater who would rather rear-end me at highway speed if I have to hit the brakes for a deer or something than to just pass me when we have the highway to ourselves. I hit my brakes a few times to tell them to back off and if they're still riding my tail I turn on my right blinker, gradually slow down and then pull over to force them to go around me, and they usually give me a long stare when they pass like, "What's your problem?" which gives me the notion that they have not a clue about how dangerous their driving is. These are mostly young people by the way and I have nothing against young people but it's like an entire generation of people have not been taught that it is dangerous to tail-gate, especially at highway speeds and/or when the roads are icy.
Thanks for letting me rant, this is probably my number-one pet peeve. Sometimes I wish I had a big red button that I could push which would activate a big red boxing glove that would pop out of my trunk and punch their car right in the grill!
Women on the train who have no boundaries-- they sit too close, touch you accidentally with arms and elbows and have no clue and their huge bag is also sitting on your lap too!
City life....
Does this bother anyone else? It really makes my skin crawl, and feels electrified somehow, when strangers touch me.
And here's another one-- I believe george carlin had a routine about this: when someone touches or moves my stuff--
My virgo roomate does this--
He thinks he's making things pretty or organized or takes things into his room
I do not understand people who steal. Yes, taking my chair into your room for you to use IS stealing.
Pisses me off unbelieveably. Chutzpah
Yes Moonpluto I have that same boundary issue. I do not like people who sit too close or generally get in my space. EVERYONE at work knows that and they know to give me space when I'm grooming especially.
Also the vacuum at work. While I appreciate staff members who are tidying up the place, I do not appreciate when they vacuum the dog on my table! Hard to scissor a cute round head when the dog is flipping out and reacting to the sound.
I'm so cranky! I need to work in an isolation booth.
I would actually have to say the jackass that annoys me the most is myself. I am too tolerant of annoying jestures, to the point I don't even realize there anoying me.
I feel like this is the best way to describe it: If I feel like it is anoying then I try not to acknowldge it because I feel like if I acknowledge it, then it will become more annoying- It is a self impowering thing to me I guess, but it has back fired now as I have become older.
I relize now that it is just me trying to act "better" than everyone else. When really I would be pissed if I checked out a book with highlighter vomit all over it- but if you were to ask me if it botherd me I would say "no, not at all". Light bulb moment-
Yes I am a little kooky, but I have a lot of free time at the moment- and just recently became obsesed with this website- I have never "blogged" before. -
People in my state ignore the right of way rules of the road in an infuriating way. If they have the right of way going straight, they become a "nice guy" to the oncoming car and let him turn before going himself. If I'm that car who wants to turn, I want to WAIT. And he keeps waving me in. He ignores the rule that makes order out of potential chaos so he can feel good and let some one go first. The hell with everyone behind him!
Sorry, but it seems to be the younger generation on this one...
Continuing texting or just looking at pics & stuff on your cellphone while the RL people in your immediate area are attempting a conversation with you... SOOOOO rude! Take a 5 minute breather will you?! I can multi-task too, yet, when you speak to me, I try to give you my undivided attention. Can't seem to break my youngest son from this one.
The librarian in me shudders at the ill treatment of this book! Someone should have a highlighter shoved up each nostril and any other body orifice that looks like it needs special notation!
-People who dump you when you're down and are your friend when you're up.
-People who don't give others a chance because of some stupid prejudice.
-People who only hear what they wanna hear.
people who pepper their sentences with nervous apologies 50 times a day... something about that self-conscious excessive politeness puts me on edge, i cannot feel comfortable around people like that. *shudder*
Moonpluto that is also my pet peeve. I am very aware of mine and others personal space and I need a wide radius or I get pissed off and annoyed. I remember going to a movie in the day with my guy and we sat in the back row in the middle(I prefer to be on the very end of a row not in the middle), then this female couple came in and sat right next to me, HELLO!!! The whole entire theater was EMPTY except for us???? WTF!! I was totally annoyed, my husband asked if we should move I was like f*ck no we were here first,lol, even though I was uncomfortable. Obviously she was trying to make me mover perhaps not sure. Weird But I do attract the werid,lol.
So I saw this new bake in the bag fish advertised on TV. I really wanted to try it but could not find it in either of the two large chain supermarkets that I went to. I emailed the company directly and asked where I would be able to find it.
I received an email back just now saying that they can't help me, because they have no control over which branches of the big chains stock that fish. That was it, no suggestions on where else I could purchase it...
Um HELLLLO I'm a customer who actually wants to buy their product .. a product which they have just spent thousands of pounds promoting in an advertising campaign.. and yet they cannot tell me where I might be able to buy some.. what the hell????
GW, I think I'd email or call or snail mail write the president of that company. Good grief!! Somebody ought to be having their head examined right after receiving their pink slip.
People who answer for the other person when you are asking a question or just talking to them.....interrupters in conversation....really gets my goat!!! yes, my goat...my capricorn self!! hahaha...that was a funny...haha...
anyway...my brother-in-law does this all the time when I am talking to my sister and it really unnerves me...and I keep telling him to be quiet or leave the room so we can talk, but he feels he always needs to be around her to protect her....and she allows it and welcomes it...which is another pet peeve of mine....
haha, yes it IS annoying!!!
Moonpluto, the boundaries thing bugs me too! Physical space is the most obvious one, but emotional, relationship boundaries too. I don't like too much testing, crossing, pushing of boundaries - it's aggressive. Everything and everyone needs their own space, without some jackass IN it! For some reason I've had this notion that boundaries are obvious and everyone knows where they are, but this isn't the case I guess. I'm constantly having to fight jackasses who can't toe the line and being forced to defend my boundaries, and I'll say it pisses me off. Jeez!
I guess this goes with the boundaries thing, but I get very annoyed with folks who constantly 'one up' or take the first advantage in any given situation. Power plays/manipulation wrapped in polite (and sometimes not) sounding excuses. Asking for things they are not willing to give. Using a display of temper to intimidate. Can't compromise or share or show understanding/respect for others, but expect it from others. On and on. Motherf**kin, f*ck. I hate having to put up with this kind of jackass! Drop kick straight to the curb. Ugh.
