What annoys the living daylights out of you

I mean the really annoying behaviors or habits from other folks? I mean what makes you want to mentally leap over there and throttle that other person? What makes you want to leave the room, or better yet, kick that person out of the room? What gives you the screaming meemies? It could be a teeny tiny little thing or a major behavior. This could be something that annoys you occasionally, or on a daily basis. Behavior from a spouse, a perfect stranger, a child.

I can think of several: People who borrow money and never pay you back. Noisy neighbors who think they own the neighborhood. People who think they know everything, can control everything. People who think they are superior over other humans just because they accomplished something stupid anyway.

People who makes noises around or outside or in the house. For example loud tv, talk loud. Not to mention at night, since I go to sleep early, and I cant sleep if I hear a noice. I love to turn my music and tv loud as well, however, I always make sure that no one in the house or the noise will not disturb my neighbour.

What really annoys me is people that cannot for the life of them act their age. I know someone that is smart, but emotionally registers on the scale of about a 3 year old, and really, 3 year olds act better than they do on most days. Instead of confronting problems, they fume about them and try to convey through their body language they are angry and whenever you ignore it, they yell at you or do things like slam doors and what not to try and get their message across. Of course, I ignore it, temper tantrums don't bother me (I work with children) and can ignore them easily. That, and they take things that come up, something as minor as someone talking to loud or something and blow them extremely out of proportion and instead of saying, hey that's not cool, they yell and are otherwise a 'witch' and just makes you want to do things to annoy them because they're behavior gets old quick.

What really annoys me is the people in the traffic i really hate those people.Reckless driving not giving a sign to turn right or left.When they drive trhough the red light or when they're driving agressive and pushing others to drive faster.They always drive too hard in my country.And when you sign you better be carefull because they can beat you up.The hardest thing is when you drive sticking to the rules they blame you for bad driving while they don't stick to any rule.

Poor customer service. It boggles my mind how some people manage to keep the jobs they have when they can't bring themselves to be polite for a minute. If you can't find time in your busy schedule of flirting to stop and help me for two seconds then I'm likely to walk out of your store. I've actually had clerks having a bad day THROW my products in the bag or across the counter. Excuse me? I don't think so. I've also walked into a sport shop to buy a pair of very expensive sunglasses and had the sales girls (who were flirting with some guy)look at me as I was watching them patiently from next to the glasses case say loud enough for me to hear "What is SHE looking at?!" My answer? I was looking at the reason I will NEVER do business there. I walked out. This goes for food service too. When my friend from college turned 21 she decided she would rather study over fries at Denny's then go out an party. When we told the waitress that it was her birthday and asked her if they gave sundaes for birthdays she said no and walked away. Fair enough, I guess. Then she promptly said to her coworker "and if she thinks I'm singing her happy birthday, she's got another thing coming". We left her 1 penny as a tip.

The REAL question is: "WHO AND what annoys the living daylights out of you". A whole lot. Trust me. A hell of a whole lot of things. How I hate thee; let me count the ways, especially abridged, shortened ones: Who: -Family members that are almost intrusive that I can't get any privacy in their house: --Dad, who's like a violent dictator of the house, and a ticking time bomb lunatic that explodes whenever I try to explain my side of things --Mom, who lays in bed almost all day except to cook, but that's all she does, lays on the bed the rest of the time, and is most certainly loudmouthed -Older sisters who keep popping in and out of the house just for food and other things, but are most certianly overstaying their welcome -Younger sister who annoys the hell out of me and raises my blood pressure just as much as dad does -There are a lot of other things that make my stomach boil because of them, but i'll soon be away from them one day. It's only a matter of time. VERY soon. What: -Computer in the living room; becoming very slow and almost unresponsive as virtual memory minimum is starting to get too low, and therefore even with disk defragmentation, it still responds sluggishly. I've got a lot more reasons why they get on my nerves, and i've already written them down in my notebook.

This has been my pet peeve for as long as I can remember and your friends seem to be the worse ones, at least for me anyway. I'll be with a friend and she says something like, "what' up you look tired or upset?." Then before I even get half way finished explaining what the problem is she has already told me her experience, or her health issue, or what ever it is we're talking about. That and how about this. You'll be telling someone how hard it was for you when your mother passed away and right away, "Yes I know what you mean." while meanwhile that person still has his or her mom/dad. Those are just examples.

I don't like it when someone (specially those who just acquaintances) tells me what I should do with my life. Simple stuff like what color I should choose for my curtains to serious stuff, like what I should do with my career. I hate that. Specially if I were not even asking for a suggestion or opinion. I dunno. Even my mom knows that, and she dare not interfere with my own business ... so I really don't like it when people give me advice I didn't ask in the first place. Another thing is when someone just comes in like he/she owns the place. Specially if that someone starts touching my things, and get stuff which they don't ask permission before borrowing. I mean it's okay to be at home, but don't get too comfortable. I mean be considerate, and respect people and their property.

I'm with Dlopez- chewing loud- more specifically chomping on chips like a slob making a noise so loud that leaving a room doesn't help because I can hear it in the next room. Cannot stand it...

The one thing I can't stand is a liar.. but attitude wise, etc.. is someone who thinks they know it all. Having a conversation with someone, and they know all about it, done did it, experienced it, etc. It just irks me.
