When I am binge watching a show and they play the theme song each time a new episode starts. There should be an option to skip that for when you're watching more than one episode in a row. This is timely. Netflix, you KNOW people are going to binge watch Orange is the New Black. The theme song is 1:15 long. It is so unbelievably annoying, it makes me so irrationally angry.

I was just thinking of starting a vent post about tv ads and then I saw this thread. I wonder if my irritation is mentioned on here. I can't stand this semi-new thing about show ads, where on certain channels there's a title for a show to premiere later that day in the bottom right hand corner shown through out the whole show I'm watching. Some even have a countdown box. Sometimes a show ad will pop up and cover a quarter of the screen. They make Netflix look so good because you don't get bothered by that interference. ( I love Netflix for other reasons too ) Do tv companies really think that they are boosting their ratings by putting up all these show ads?

Well, I'll keep my list to just what irritated me today.
People that crowd up on you in a check out stand at the grocery store. Please, remain back until they have paid and left the check stand. I ran to Walmart for a few things. This family behind me kept coming up too close to me. So I switch to my tried and true tactic of standing in front of my cart and keeping my cart between us as I unload and pay. It usually works. Only these people decided to step up behind me anyway.
Their little boy, I can somewhat excuse because he is a child. He was interested in whatever it was on the shelves directly behind me. But the mom carrying the baby and pushing her cart did NOT need to push by me and my cart, only to stop at the end of the check stand so that I can now not move forward to start grabbing my bagged items. I had to step back behind my cart and use it to nudge her out of the way. She only moved enough for me to reach the bagged items, and she kept her cart sideways at the end so I could not get out.
Then when I turned around to go back and pay after getting the last of my bags and giving the mom the stink eye, the man had walked up and was leaning on the credit card machine table area. I swear, they were all surrounding me as if we had driven there together - dad on one side, mom on my other side and kid behind me. And they were all way into my personal bubble.
I finally put my hand up as if pushing the man and I asked for some privacy so I could put my debit card in to pay. He was surprised, but did take a single step back. The child then started to hang onto the side of my cart. He was probably only 5 or 6, so I didn't give him the evil eye, but I felt irritated at the parents for not asking him to come stand by them. And I couldn't leave the stand because the mother put her cart sideways at the end of the check stand! She was holding her baby and looking the other direction. People! Move! I actually had to reach my hand out and move her cart in order to make room for my cart to get out. I need my breathing room!
My second irritation is in the repetitive introductions at the beginning of the show that I am watching nonstop marathon style while trying to drown out my own life and thoughts. I find myself getting unnecessarily irritated at the minute of music and introductions on the screen. I have started just jumping ahead into the story to calm myself down. Stupid, I know. It is only a minute of my time. But the repetition of it doesn't hold my interest and I find myself actually thinking again. And I don't want to think. I want to be lost in the shows so that I don't think.
That's today's most irritating irritants so far.

Right now I can honestly say I'm irritated having to write papers on subjects that are so boring.
I'm irritated with shoppers who drive down one side of the aisle then stand between their cart and the other side.
And I'm irritated by non disabled people at work using the handicapped auto door on the bathroom.

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. While waiting at a light we had a car in front of us. When the light turned green the car in front of us started to go at a crawl and then stopped. Then started to go at normal acceleration. At the next light I was able to see the driver of the car because she was turning right at the light. Yup on her phone. And she was completely in the clear to turn but something was more important to her than the cars waiting behind her.

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. ha. But that's not what you asked. ((Joking)) sorry.

Today, loud talkers on public transit. I take the train to NYC from the suburbs and the loud talkers drive me nuts. So I always have headphones and, even when I'm not listening to anything, on they go.

The "I am more important than anyone else and don't have to follow the rules or use basic consideration" attitude some people seem to have.
We live by the beach and go often, but we also have vacationed right on the beach many times. I couldn't believe how many people were acting that way on our beach vacation this year. I thought about coming on here and sharing a "what not to do at the beach" post. Some of it is ignorance, which I understand (like feeding the seagulls), but most of it was just ignoring the rules and/or being selfish.

I'm utterly irritated with the dumbass who thought that direct tv commercial jingle was an appropriate use of Jon Bon Jovi's talent.
I hope someone runs over that schmoe with a dump truck.

"What irritates you?" People who are irritated by every little thing. We just spent a lovely week at a beach house that opened right out the back door to a fairly private beach. It was fully stocked. We ate well, we drank well, and the weather was beautiful. Who wouldn't be happy there, right? Well... DH's aunt, that's who. She gets irritated by a lot and has to share those irritations with the rest of us. I absolutely perfected my skills at the non-committal "Hmmm..." this week as I imbibed my beachy beverages and tuned her out. Guess who won't be invited to our next week at the beach?!?

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? here, I have a petty TV one too. I hate when an actor on a show is carrying around an empty cup, like a coffee cup, and pretending to drink out of it. No. At least put water in it. You carry an empty cup differently than a cup that has something in it. I can tell it's empty. So annoying. My husband thinks it's terrible that that annoys me so much. OMG, this is irrationally annoying to me too! Gilmore Girls was the worst for it! In stores, people not going down the aisles with their carts the same way you drive on a road. It makes me mad to practically have a stand-off in the grocery store aisle with someone. Just get in the right lane! People who just walk in front of you when you're looking at something in a store without saying excuse me. It's so rude. People who just stop wherever they are to talk. No thought to anyone behind them. When we're leaving the auditorium after orchestra concerts, there's always people who stop right outside the doors when they see other parents they know. GTFO of the way! There is plenty of room to move to the side to chat. The mall is another place it seems to happen all the time. I HATE crowded places!

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. Yes people who walk while text not seeing who is walking towards them. Yes!! I caught a train to the football the other night and from the time I got off the train to the time I walked to the end of the platform I had to dodge about 783 people with their heads down checking their phones.

And it's hard to fast forward just right on my iPad. Today I just started muting it and checking my phone for a bit until it was over!

Drivers who are oblivious to the speed limit and seem to pick a random speed and stick to it regardless. Half the time they're going too fast, say driving past a school or through my village, then too slow when it's a faster straight road when they're allowed to speed up The vagaries of the British summer. My boss and her harsh mouth.

Mine are mostly driving related. Those who don't understand the concept of a zip lane. I'm not cutting you off. I'm zipping. By not letting me in, you are breaking the law. And then the other side of that same complaint is the guy who takes the shoulder after the zip lane.
People who can't drive the speed limit. I'm so glad you got your life together enough to go under the speed limit and slow the entire flow of traffic. The rest of us are tailgating you because you are driving like an asshole. If you are too scared to drive in rush hour, get off!
The rubber necks at an accident -- On the other side of the road!! Why am I going slower than the other side?
No blinkers. I become irrationally mad and will clearly mouth some words at you. If I'm ever shot in a road rage incident I guarantee there will have been a no blinker use situation.
My kids led gallantly by their father to leave EVERY light on the house on. I know you are asking, "Eleezybeth, do you really mean EVERY?" And I do. You know the storage room or guest bedrooms we go into maybe 3 times a month on most occasions? Every day... I swear. If I leave the house first in the morning I come home to a fully light house, just sitting there all day.
My colleague who has no experience, but has the age. She is not in a position she will succeed in because she has no experience. I'm sorry you went back to school late in life and feel that those other jobs that teach us our job are beneath you but you literally have no clue. But... more frustrating is she is unwilling to try to learn, is driven by fear and therefore I'm the one picking up her slack. I will hear her say to our boss, "Can't Eleezybeth help?" Help what?? I can't give you experience! Gah!!!

The theme song ended at 1:19 and there were 37 seconds of time where there were words on the screen. So 42 seconds of faces. Faces of people that aren't even in the show.

Love a thread like this because it let's me vent. I know I will sound like I have too many irritations to even live in society I have misophonia so lots of repetitive sounds irritate me to distraction - like loud phone ringtones when a person gets lots of calls, other people's music, and the incessant wrrr of machinery, lawn movers, weed whackers, trucks beeping while backing up, die cut machines, sewing machines, etc. I hate when it is near me or around me. People who do the wrong thing so it affects me - like I am walking 15 minutes to get to my building because I had to park so far away, and I see construction workers eating lunch near their cars parked next to the building. Construction workers are not permitted to use those spaces. I marched right up to the foreman's trailer and told him so. He said he didn't know they had parked there and he will tell them to move. Not that the space would be available for me, but the spaces are not for them. They have an area designated for them to park. Or near my office is a patients dining room and it has a piano with a sign that it is for use by our patients only. It is used for parties and such. So I'm sitting in my office and I hear the piano and I 'have to' go in there and see who is on it and throw them out. I can't understand how people even find it; they just pass 5 signs telling them they can't even be there in the first place and then start banging on the piano where there is a huge sign. And who wanders around in a hospital and comes across a piano and thinks, "Hmmm I can play this piano while I'm waiting." I get irritated by my mother being irritated by other people so she feels like she has to say something. I am always on pins and needles with her when we go someplace, whether it be church or a restaurant, it doesn't matter. If someone is being noisy she is going to bitch about it, from babies crying in church to loud parties in restaurants. I think she has misophonia too. The whole time we are sitting there she is bitching about it getting herself worked up enough to go say something to them. I feel anxiety in my stomach when she does that. My husband has this thing where he shakes his leg or his foot when he is sitting down. It cannot be in my line of sight or it will drive me crazy. He can't stop - it's some kind of nervous thing. I don't know how he can shake it continuously for the entire time we are watching a show or something. People who let their kids stand on the seat of a restaurant booth so the kid is hanging over my head, or doing whatever the kid is doing. Tell your kid to sit down on the seat. The other day at Steak and Shake I told a little boy to sit down when he kept leaning over my head and when we left I saw him under the table picking up crumbs. Who let's their little kid do that? Lastly if you are even still with me on this post, is the one where when I am walking, or sometimes driving, and a car or vehicle is coming up behind me. Not on the interstate but like on my short, culdesac street. No matter when I am out for a walk or just coming home driving down my street, someone is coming up behind me in their car. The street will be dead until I am walking or driving on it. At work people bringing supplies etc drive these little yellow golf cart type things and no matter where I am walking, one of these damn carts is coming up behind me and I have to make sure I am practically against the wall so they can get by. When I'm out on the grounds going to another building someone is driving across the patio area in one of these little carts. So I not only get to have the cart coming up behind me, but I get to listen to the beep beep beep as it tells me it's coming - get out of the way. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I have that too. We back to a busy road and nearby, they are using a spot for a construction work area. I hear the backup beep of the trucks all the freakin' time. I work a non-traditional schedule so am home some during the day. I'm about to go insane!

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. This. A thousand million eleventy billion this. Almost everything thathat irritates me comes down to people who are either oblivious or don't give a crap about how their behaviors affect others. Self-awareness is a good thing. Yes yes yes. We call this living in a bubble. I have repeatedly asked for my very own bubble for Christmas and birthdays but alas not received one!

Edited to fix autocorrect, which is annoying! I receive that! For me it is a sensory thing and really goes beyond what is tolerable. I used to be anemic and iron infusions were my best friend! So much quicker and last longer than supplements. The other day my middle son started chewing ice and I said, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!?! NO CHILD OF MINE will be chew ice!!!!!!! He laughed SO hard that he could annoy me with something he started seeing people doing at work and thought he would try it!

The fact that I am two and a half months into figuring out what is wrong with me, the fact that I have to wait 3 more weeks to find out, even though the blood work should be complete within the next week, the fact that I am on steroids, which are working amazingly well, but I was only given 10 days worth to get me through the four weeks until we figure out what is wrong. I'm tired of feeling crappy, I'm tired of waiting to find out what's wrong, and steroids make me feel better, but crappy in a different way. Hmmm, maybe I am more than irritated at the moment.
