What irritates the life out of you?

I take it that you are talking specifically about people...In that case, my list is endless.LOL! I don't hate anybody. I know it's hard to believe but I don't hate people. It's their characteristics and personalities that strike a nerve. For example, I don't like it when people are inconsiderate. I know a lot of inconsiderate people but I don't hate them because they still have a lot of good qualities. What irritates me the most are ungrateful people. I hate it when people don't appreciate what they have but instead whine about how they don't have what somebody else has. I hate it when you give someone a very thoughtful gift and they turn around and hint that you should have gotten them something else. ugh! I also hate it when people demean others. People who think they are better then others are irritating! Another thing I hate is when people get so lost in their lies that they don't even remember what they've said. I work with this guy who brags to people outside our office about stuff he "does" and it's stupid because I'm usually around when he does this. I just look at him, like, seriously?!?! In general, I like mostly everybody I meet. But like myself, I'm sure they all have little flaws that irk others. Hey, I know I annoy some people.=)

what iritates me are people who seems, "to know it all!" As if no ideas were right except theirs. They were kind of narrowminded - other people suggestions amount to nothing because they usually have a better idea to offer. People were not cut out from the same stuff - even fools were right at times. I guess, we just need to learn the art of listening, you know being sensitive towards others. and yea, i also don't like those people demeaning others - doesn't they know that they just demean themselves too...?

I can't stand people who belittle others either. People are PEOPLE for God's sake and we are ALL equal, regardless of our economic status, job or any other reason. What also irritates the heck out of me are people that spend their time whining and complaining about others doing or saying certain things, but never stop and realise that they are doing the EXACT same things themselves! I'm dealing with people like this quite often lately and it drives me insane!

Agree with the irritable people you mention there. Also people who talk big (slightly different with bragging in my dictionary :P), people who are bossy, who think that their opinion should mattered to everyone but not vice versa, who are so self-centered that they think the world revolves around them, bratty kids, stay home moms who think that they are so great and people should praise them 24/7 becos they are so unselfish they willing to sacrifice their lives so they can manage to raise their kids by themselves, aannnd.... people who whines! Not that i never whine, it's just... tiring hearing people who whines about almost the same thing over and over again. Especially if the intention is to get people to sympathize with them and feel sorry for the martyr-me personality they have. wow, so many people that irritates me :P btw, kudos to all stay-home-mom, really, but not the martyr-me type. You know what i mean? Hope so! Dont want people to think i'm being unkind to mothers :P Yeah, i think i have issue with all martyr-me type lol.

I agree with you 100% as I hate it when other people put other people down and put there nose in ther air. I have a friend like that. We used to go out for lunch and what not. She cut my other friend down and made her feel like trash. I no longer go out to lunch with her. If she wants to hang out I make her come to my house as I told her you can't treat people like that. You have a good day.

Hmm. Putting others down is quite popular nowadays. People like to feel better about themselves by this. I guess it makes them more confident about themself? Or arrogant. Which brings me to my irritation. I hate arrogance. I dislike people who are arrogant. There is a fine line between 'Confident' and 'Arrogant'. I'm confident(Usually). But arrogance is just like an instant annoyance to me, even if it isn't directed at me. I sometimes verbally lash out at people who are arrogant, not because I want to... But because they just annoy and irritate me so much, and so fast. Just a couple words is enough to set me off.

Bragging is tacky I have to agree with you dear! As for the waiters etc, if they loose customers, they loose their jobs so why be like it, nasty people I do not understand at all. I think people who say things just to get a reaction or stir trouble should be shot. Why people need to bring drama into their lives is beyond me, if I had roared into school and challenged the teacher instead of asking I'd have looked really silly. Rude people are horrible too, sometimes people are really rude and I don't know why or what I did to deserve it and it upsets me for the day or even longer, I'm such a wimp, lol.

I get extremely irritated By the people who consider thier worth simply based on thier material standing and treat people who they think are below them in status with disdain and disrespect. By those who show disrespect towards the elderly By those who lead a life of lies and hypocrisy. Who at home with the family give a picture of being totally devoted and in truth are something else. Then are some who brag about things they achieve but in reality would not have done anything close to what they talk about. Those who jump at taking credit for things they have not done. I very recently tried to correct someone who did something like what you have described above. i.e disdain towards a maid. The person quietly left the scene for had that person not, it may have got me even more irritated and led to a severe argument.

thats one thing what i like about the ones in the west,there dignity of labour!!its not as if there are begging,they are also working hard to earn money like the white collared people,,the caste system bugs me too.

I get irritated with bossy,dominating ,condescending attitudes I shall get back later.JUst unable to type due to a browser problem.

Hmm, if Id had to think out of the top of my head then Id say that disrespect in any form irritates me. That also includes the stubbornness of people who just throw litter carelessly into the streets. Its like they dont have 'breeding' in a way. Its just so annoying since there are proper places to throw trash and yet they just chuck them out the window of a moving public utility vehicle. I also dont like it when others' steal my intellectual property without. Its would be fine if they had my consent but otherwise, my thoughts are my thoughts, others have theirs. Its not nice to get my thoughts and put their name on it and claim it as theirs. I guess those are my topmost pet peeves.

I abhor people who put others down when they are feeling insecure themselves and I particularly dislike materialistic shallow individuals who are constantly competing in order to 'keep up with the Jones'. I have a friend like that, every time I see her I feel as if I am in some kind of contest and it irritates me no end! She will put a negative spin on anything I am doing or planning and manages to put a damper on anything I may be excited about. Grrrr!!!!

Hi Mimpi, This is more common among the newly become rich people. they are the worst dividers. As they have money to demean the weaker people they take the full advantage to prove their superiority. I hate this hypocrisy. They would brag you for you have some talent and have come off a considerably well off a family. But as you are sipping a cup of tea and there is the rickshaw puller asking for the fare and being bargained is the worst thing and I would throw the cup of tea on the face and hiring the same Rickshaw would sneak off to my destination.

My largest passion is that I hate abuse of any kind done to anyone, especially children. A small pet peeve for me: all modern packaging. It is like I need a chain saw to get into it!

Yes Mimpi, you are right those who belittle people like waiters, maid servants, drivers and delivery boys also irritates me. I believe that everyone should be respected and should be given due regards. In my office, I treat all my subordinates with due respect and do not belittle them on any occasion. I believe that respect begets respect.

One of the most irritating things to me is a driving scenario. It's when you are driving at a reasonable speed and the person behind you wants you to go faster and is tailgating you. Finally they go ahead and go around, and pull ahead of you. Then what do they do? They proceed to go slower than you were going. Hello?!?! Was all that really necessary? Yep, that really bugs me.

I don't like that kind of peoeple too.I do meet a lot.But if the waiter or waitress insult you ,what will you do .Still be nice ? No i won't.So it's all depends,right?

I get irritated by know it all's people who are not willing to admit that they in fact do not know every thing there is to know about life, and that they can not learn anything from anyone else. The rudeness you mentioned upsets me as well. I am not sure I would use the word hate, as I am not a fan of that but I am really turned off by anyone who treats people badly.

Ferbies. I want to kill the little buggars!!!!

I hate many kinds of people but specially those who ill treat with animals like beating them or doing hunting and killing them for their fun . There comes another kind who think world revolves around them and nothing will happen without them . A egotist kind of person . Also those who disrespect women , who think girls shouldn't be given power or be at higher position or should not be given much freedom . I can give you the all list of people who really irritate me .
