What silly things really set your teeth on edge? Things, that you know rationally, should not really bother you, but for whatever reason, they are to you, like finger nails scraping down a blackboard. It could be things that certain people do or say. It could be activities you have to undertake each day.
These are things that are not quite 'Ranting Room' material, more irrational hatreds and points of minor, although strangely intense irritation. For me, it's; People who talk to me with their mouths stuffed full of food, both on the phone and face to face. It makes me feel sick. Bananas and any bread products are the worse. That thing that some people do when eating breakfast cereals, where they suck and slurp the milk through their teeth, making that revolting hissing sound. I can't be in the same room as someone eating cereal! Loose objects rolling around in my car when I'm driving. They become some kind of symbol of disorder, and I have to pull over and secure them! 
Yep! I should probably talk to someone!  Anyone else have similar issues? ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

People who spit right in front of you in the street. Foul language in the street. Dancing in the street!

People dropping litter in the street is one of mine. It makes me see red, when I see some hooded, spotty turd of a yoof dropping his Big Mac carton. In fact there is lot of things that annoy me 'on the streets'

^^^Yeah, that would p!ss me off intensely. You want to say something in those situations, but the sort of peple who do that, are the sort of people you often don't want to get into a tangle with.
In fact the cereal bowl/clank of spoon thing, you mention, is just another part of the disgusting ritual we call breakfast. It's when the person gets to the bottom of the bowl, and the clanking just doesn't seem to stop, while they're trying to extract every last drop of now, luke warm slightly browned milk from the bowl. Painful! The lesson to be learned is always have bacon for breakfast, when in the company of others! ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

I can't stand people who crack their fingers. And people who crawl up to green traffic lights, then the lights go amber just as they get there so they speed up and leave you stuck on the red. And people who turn without indicating.
And the three people who blocked my exit from the tube this morning. Don't they realise they ain't getting on until we've all got off?

Supermarkets is another one. Am I the only person who's intention it is, to get in and get out of those places as fast as possible? For some people it seems to be an event, to be savoured and taken at the sort of pace one normally reserves for walking round a stately home.

One thing that really sets me off is when people don't care if they get the pages of their books or notebooks all crumpled up. In flipping through pages and stuff they fold them, tear them, wrinkle them, whatever... it drives me insane. I like all my pages to be pristine. -------------

2) why do women wait for the cashier to tell them the total before rummaging around for their handbag/purse/card/money? They've been standing there for 10 minutes, why don't they get it ready before?

As a cashier, thank you. I try not to hate people, but the things I would say to rude people.... Some people should just not drag their retarded, dumbfounded asses into a store. I'm a pretty nice person and always keep my cool, but anyone who sh*ts on someone who's trying the best to serve them under pressure gets no respect and should f**k off and die. Here's some tips on how not to appear like your chromosomes got jumbled around while you were baking in your mother's womb: 1. Try to smile and be friendly, because I'm trying my best to do so too. if you can't be friendly, then don't talk and do what I tell you to to make things go smoothly. If you have to open your face and you're in a bad mood, then please put the barrel of a shotgun in it. 2. If you have to pay for a check, have everything but the price written on it, have it out of the checkbook, and have your ledger balanced before it's your turn. There's a reason people behind you groan and roll their eyes when a shut-in cat lady doesn't realize checks are for paying rent and that's it. 3. If you want to check your receipt to make sure the prices are right or balance you book or whatever, PULL AWAY FROM THE LANE SO THE PERSON BEHIND YOU CAN CHECK OUT! God these selfish f**king people.... 4. Don't get mad at me if we don't have something. Don't get mad at me if your dumb ass came in the store when there's a better price for something somewhere else. Don't get mad at me if someone else isn't helping you and I tried to get them to 3 times. Succinctly, if you are in a bad mood, don't go shopping.

Yay ranting room part two. 
Honestly, I don't think I could list all the things that people do on the road that pisses me off. The worst two...pulling out in front of me when there is no one behind me for miles and then going 20 mph below the speed limit. Also, anything with yield signs. They stop when no one is coming and accelerate through when traffic is coming/already there.
Its amazing we humans still survive. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

Well I've accepted the general things...but certain times! Like when I was sitting, with my blinker on, waiting to make a left onto my street. From behind a car is blaring its horn, stops behind me and I see them going crazy, giving fingers, can see them yelling. Are you blind? Did you not see the blinker? Did you not see the damn traffic coming towards us? Example like that. Or when people start riding my ass or honking when we're on a one lane road and a TRUCK is ahead of me. |
Posted By: Man With Hat
Date Posted: September 03 2010 at 18:12
Guess I just have more anger in me. 
That first one is pretty ridiculous. But that truck one reminds me of another...when someone wants to make a left across a couple lanes of traffic...they just sit in the first couple lanes waitinf for a spot to go completely blocking the road so one can get by.
I suppose this isn't just for multilane roads...I've seen it on single ones as well. f**king pricks man. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

Rick Wakeman's cornered the market in Grumpy Old Proggers so we're going to have to go some to catch him up.
In built-up areas I hit the limit and stick to it, within seconds I know I'm going to have the 4 Audi rings in my rear-view mirror, but I really don't mind because once we hit the national-limit signs I stop being Mr Safe-and-sound and will happily gun it; and because I know what I'm going to do and they don't I'll be 100yds ahead of them in a few seconds and they won't be able to tailgate me again until we get to the next 40 limit. Simple pleasures.
We got a kitten last weekend (nothing wrong with the old one, it's not an upgrade or anything), it stands inside the littertray and craps outside it - we put the tray on the newspaper anyway so it's easily cleared up. One of our other cats hates standing in the litter - it will perch on the edge of the box to crap into the litter - quite a balancing act.
anyway, my pet hates:
and the driving ones...

- People who don't drive fast enough in general but especially people who cruise in the left lane for no damn reason. You don't have to change lanes 4 miles before you need to turn, you dumb pr*cks!
- Soccer (and people who pretend to care about it once every 4 years), College Football, Basketball, ESPN's coverage of basketball and golf (basketball due to over coverage, golf due to all-Woods-coverage)
- Dogs (an actual pet hate) - they are load, smell terrible, and worst of all are praised for loyality (which is the most idiotic trait any creature can possess)

I hate some languages that are so restrictive with their users that the users' can't pronounce anything that is not in their language, even if they're explained how. My surname can't be pronounced be French people, and it's not really complicated. It's Mircea (MIR - CHÉ - A). They say MIR-SÉ-A. If I choose to remain in France, I either have to modify my name or to put this curse on my family/descendants. And there is no way to transliterate the pronounciation of my name into a French one, there is no good equivalent. Maybe Mirtchea, but that looks awful, I'd better kill myself. Many Romanians in France change their names. And btw, I hate those Romanians who modify their name without need. Really, why change Ionescu / Popescu to Ionesco / Popesco? |

Your punishment: go back to all the reviews where you did this and make it either an x.4 in your verbage (and why the hell is the official dictionary version of this word verbiage? ) or up your star rating properly.Maybe this will help: http://math.about.com/od/arithmetic/a/Rounding.htm - http://math.about.com/od/arithmetic/a/Rounding.htm v There's supposed to be a reason why gas is priced like that. I've heard it before, but it wasn't convincing so I don't remember what it was. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

 ...on a related note:
  ..com'on guys, we all know you can't get 0.9 of a penny - stop taking the 'p' and round it up on the signs to what we actually get charged at the pump. ------------- What? |

My parents did the same thing. I have a one syllable first name, as do my brothers. That doesn't stop people calling me Jim, Jimbob or Jamie. -------------
