What annoys you most about people?

My #1 pet peeve: When I say that I'll be right back, and the person I'm talking to doesn't stop chatting. Then when I get back, I find the person left and sends me private messages like "why are you ignoring me?" or "fine, don't talk to me!". Some people just don't know how to pay attention. If you're going to carry on a conversation with me, how about also listening to what I have to say?

Second thing that really really annoys me: people who use "netspeak" abbreviations for every word. Come on, is it really that much of a strain to type "you" instead of "u" or "you're" rather than "ur", "too" instead of "2", etcetera? Now I can understand on text messaging on cell phones, since you have a limited number of characters (128 - 160 on most), and it cost to send messages. On SL and other chat forums, it's not that much of a problem!

I'm probably going to get flamed for some of this (dons asbestos underwear), but meh, I just had to get this out of my system today.

WTF ru trying to say? OMG be right back.

One of my peeves was the use of "kk" to mean "ok", but I don't see it much any more. I understand the allure of shorthand, but what's to be gained by substituting one letter for another? Plus, using "kk" can result in the unfortunate typo of "kkk"

People that post on internet forums.

Self-righteous, pseudointellectual bastards.

They are always interrupting my "me" time.

Asshole drivers:

1. Can't keep up with traffic.
   
2. Won't make legal right-turn-on-red.
   
3. Rides in the left lane for no reason.
   
4. Won't go around someone turning off to the right when it's clear.
   
5. Acting thoroughly confused at any intersection that isn't a trivial basic layout.
   
6. Can't merge onto the highway without stopping.
   
7. Can't understand the concept of the on-ramp forming a new highway lane so you don't have to merge.
   
8. General pussy-footing around. Yes you have to be care and drive defensively but some people take it too far.
   

I could go on.

parents of a "few" of my football players. They think that they know better and tell their kids to ignore what I am trying to teach them. When confronted I get the "this way my child stands out to the scouts" They forget that scouts pay more attention to winning teams and winning teams play as teams not individuals

I use kk because IRL I usually say (outloud) 'kk' instead of 'ok'. either that or 'okie'. Its not about shorthand, its about attitude. 'ok' tends to be more downbeat, while kk is more chipper.

Evangelical Christians that are driving the policy of the US and then love for nothing better than to complain that they are being "persecuted".....and coaches that think they know better than anyone else.

One of my pet peeves is saying "shut up" (like my kids telling each other to shut up) Then the biggest is the driver that gets in the right lane and the left is open...he's just going straight and I'm the one needing to turn RIGHT!! WHY not just get in the left lane and let the people turn?!? Grrrr!

#1 pet peeve:

When I am doing 75 or 80 in the far left lane and some asshole behind me has to ride my bumper and flash his or her headlights at me. How the fuck much faster do they want me to drive? 90? 100?

My husband fusses at me for driving in that lane anyway..."it's the PASSING lane" he says. Well I for one like driving in that lane!!

we call that speed dating

People who drive everywhere then gripe about being fat.

People who say they believe something as an absolute fact but when you ask why they think that is the truth, they just give you a blank stare and say “Huh? What? Uhmm....I dunno, I just do.”

"I just do" has to be the most worthless statement ever.

I'm not necessarily defending that behaviour, but I think people tailgate in the left lane because you're not passing (regardless of the speed limit), because they want to go faster, and because they are agitated knowing some people have this attitude:

phonetic abbreviations bother me a whole bunch. i always read "ur" (instead of your) as pronounced "er" and it totally kills the conversation for me. come on, the letters "y" and "o" don't cost anything extra. if you can't type them, pick up mavis fucking beacon and learn a new skill.

and using ellipses (...) instead of periods at the end of sentences just makes it look like you don't know where to stop talking. finish your thought. then move on to the next one like you've actually thought about something before typing it. use of an elllipsis can be effective in chat to help with inflection and timing, so don't wear it out please.

of course, my eschewing of capitals is probably on someone's list, so i'll just step out of the way and let someone else on the soap box.

Well, I do get over when I see someone coming in my rearview mirror. I don't just stay there in others way that need to go faster. No "attitude here".

I say kk and agree with Zuzu. I've never managed the typo "kkk" though .

People who walk through their life completely oblivious to what is going on around them because they are on their cell phones.

1. Supermarket - person at check out - girl waiting to take their money and they are blah, blah, blah on the phone.

2. They are walking around store, in the asiles in your way and they are blah, blah, blah on the phone, just big lumps of human flesh, blah, blah, blah.

3. In their car, they are going below the speed limit, not paying attention to traffic and blah, blah, blah and are so surprised when you pass them or honk when the light changes and they don't notice and move.

4. In the public restroom, they are in the stall, you are waiting for a clear stall but they are in there, blah, blah, blah, blah. Makes you want to get into another stall and just make as much gross noise as you possibly can, flush the toilet 50 times maybe just to make sure the person on the other end knows exactly where they are.

5. On the sidewalk, you can't get around them, you try but as you go around them they wander into your space, blah, blah, blah, not paying attention.

6. In the movie theatre, where you go to eat, at the airport. It never ends someone is always there blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Constant noise pollution. I am so tired of hearing other peoples conversations!

It's gotten so bad that when people DO speak to me I ignore them because I think that it's someone speaking on their cell phone.

That's good. But, you're still likely to be agitating people if they have to slow down to wait for you to move over. There's a reason why "drive right, pass left" is taught in driving school and is the law in some states. It makes the traffic flow better.

Your right.

How quick people are to get annoyed with each other.
