This is so minor, but I hate it when TV shows show little useless shots or scenes. Like on Flip or Flop, they may show surfers or a bee in a flower. Isn't that stupid that it was irritates me?

Right now I'm a little irritated that I have a number of last minute flakers to my Book Club tonight ... I had a waiting list (it's a meetup.com group) and I had other people that would have liked to attend  Oh well, I still have a good sized group coming  |

When you call the new hole-in-the-wall BBQ restaurant and ask if they are busy. They say no. So you get in the car and ride 35 minutes there. (It's in the middle of nowhere) You get there and they are sold out of almost everything. They could have said something when we called 35 minutes earlier that that was a possibility.

on TV shows, product placements irritate me. Just give me a commercial. Even if I can't fast forward through it. But pausing on an Audi logo as someone is reaching for an item out of the glove box just irritates me. Either make it so subtle that I can't notice it, or so obvious that you aren't insulting my intelligence. This especially irritates me on reality shows.

The constant ads on tv - more frequent than the actual programme. This is the reason I've mostly switched to netflix.

People with no awareness of space/others. For instance, people that just stop right outside the doors after getting out of church to talk to someone and then everyone else in the sanctuary is held up while people have to snake around them. And people who park their carts in the middle of the aisle while they look at products- move to the side people!
I guess this is an offshoot of consideration for others. It irritates the hell of me when people don't think of others and how their own actions affect others.

People who have their faces in their screens (phone/tablet...) or wearing ear buds & are not aware of their surroundings.
This applies to people who live in the area & tourists. Tourist season is here & going strong.
My huge fear is that of people renting a car for a vacation & aren't familiar with the roads, construction & don't read the signs and/or drive in the middle lane of the 401 / 403 / QEW / 406 / 420 at a speed that is slower than posted 100/km. The people who drive once or twice a year & don't have experience driving on major highways.
People who don't read signs or don't think that the rules apply to them.

I'll keep it to tv.
When you're watching On Demand and they show the same commercial over and over and over and you can't fast forward.
Or, when you're watching a repeat episode not long after the original air date and they show a commercial for the show you are watching and it spoils something that hasn't happened in your episode yet.

I ain't got no time for naming all mine so I'll list just one. I work in a call center. When you call I can see exactly how long it has been since your call arrived in our phone system. If you have to leave for work in 5 minutes don't call customer service and expect your call to be answered immediately and the issue resolved in one minute. And by all means don't have the nerve to yell at me for having to wait 20 minutes to have your call answered when I can see that you've been waiting for 7 minutes. Thank your lucky stars that I'm not allowed to set you straight. Oh, and if you can't be bothered to save a receipt don't call and expect a refund. How the heck are we supposed to know how much you paid or that you even bought the product to begin with? And don't argue that you should get a refund or a replacement even though you bought the product 5 years ago and didn't take it out of the box until now to discover that it doesn't work. Or demand that I send you a product with a higher value to make you a happy customer. Guess I could have saved time by saying it irritates me to work in a call center.  |

Yes, my first thought was, "How much time do you have?" Off the top of my head: blaring rap music in cars...my husband's procrastination...when computers don't do what I want them to for no discernable reason...anything Kardashian related...humid weather...all those stupid home buying shows on HGTV...people who ask a million dumb questions in the Starbucks checkout...when the grocery store restocks shelves at the busiest time of day...random pains that come and go and make me feel old...TVs in doctors' waiting rooms...shall I go on?

People who swerve all over the road because they're too busy texting or doing whatever on their phone. Just put the %#^*€? thing DOWN and pay attention to the road already! DH rides around town all day long in a big work truck while his employee drives, so he can see down into people's cars. He says about every third driver is doing it.  Entitled people who can't be inconvenienced to follow the rules irritate the crap out of me. |

Well today my main irritation is the way grocery stores move stuff around. I'll ask "where have you moved the tuna? and why did you move it?" The answer to "why" is always "corporate tells us where to put things". But seriously, the managers have heard from shoppers how ANNOYING it is to search for things that are no longer where they've always been. Why doesn't "corporate" listen? growl... I know...the answer is probably that they hope we'll see more things to buy while we're busy searching for the thing on our list. But that won't work with me, just because I'm ornery like that.  |

today?
Idiots that call for same day service on glass - glass that I won't be able to get until Monday. Glass on a vehicle that is 12 years old. Foreign. No one for 100 miles is going to have it in stock. Oh, and Friday has been booked for 4 days, by people that didn't wait until the last second. In the afternoon.
Ugh.
FYI: there's about 9000 different pieces of glass. Not 4. They are not (generally) interchangeable.

Right this minute it is the fact that the commercials are louder than the show I am watching- keep having to turn the volume down then back up again- it is driving me crazy.

the whole list? Honey, ain't nobody got time for that! But today? Today I was irritated by the lady in the car in front of me (we were waiting for the camp gates to open) who kept tossing stuff out her car window. I don't know what it was...something small but she was doing it the whole time we waited (about 20 min.). I was also irritated by the two cars at the end of the long line (all of whom were pulled off to the side so as not to block the road - narrow road splits to a Y with two different camp gates (one on each side of the y)) who decided that they were special and pulled ahead of everyone else and blocked the entrance to both camps. And I was irritated that the gates weren't unlocked until 359pm when the paperwork clearly stated that the gates would open at 345pm I was amused that the two line jumpers went the wrong way on the one-way circle into the parking lot and found it was blocked and had to wait for the whole long line of cars (that they had jumped) to go into the parking lot before they could turn around and go the right way. Karma is a lovely thing! |

Tonight it's resturants that don't clean under tables between customers. Tonight the 1st table they seated us at drink coasters,silverware,crayons and food crumbs. Tables around us had food crumbs and napkins too.

Calling up a mail order pharmacy or a/c company and not being able to achieve what I need on the first call and having to do multiple other calls to achieve a simple thing.
My grocery store repeatedly running out of shopping carts because people are leaving them in the garage and the employees are not bringing them back up.

Karma is a lovely thing! That totally reminds me! The McDonald's drive thrus around here all have the one lane that branches into two lanes to order. It pisses me off when there is a line of cars waiting to get to the branch point and people drive around that line and pull into the outside lane. Like all of us are just waiting for the inside lane leaving the outside lane for you. |

Something about that slurping makes me want to scream my way to an endless supply of Valium.

Honestly I hate when people are oblivious to those around them -- like people who just stop in doorways or walkways. My goodness. How can so many people be so oblivious.
I also hate vapid reality shows hence I don't watch them.

Yes people who walk while text not seeing who is walking towards them. Or people who walk backwards without seeing where they are going, this really irritates me! lol |

These are minor in the scheme of life, but a few irritants...
*WHO* leaves ONE M&M in the candy dish, or a 1/4 of a homemade chocolate chip cookie on the serving platter?!!
WHY leave the milk glass on the counter instead of placing inside the dishwasher w/the other dirty dishes?!
Please don't leave your cart on the left side of the grocery aisle while you stand & take up the right side!

People who text while driving. Even if it's at a red light because they don't seem to notice when the light changes and hold up the line of cars behind them.
