Stupid things that irk you

Do we work at the same place?  I am on the same page with you there.  The copier holds a full ream of paper, you have to open the ream to get paper out - just put the whole thing in there - it isn't hard.

I also have a co-worker that talks over everyone and consistently repeats the same things again and again - mostly complaining about the things she has already complained about.

Other little things that irk me:
When you are in a long line of cars waiting to turn left and another car comes up and cuts in front of you just before you turn - why do they think they are so much better than all the other cars waiting there to turn.  Why do they feel they don't have to wait in the line of cars but instead feel they can just cut someone off, nearly causing and accident?  Drives me nuts and happens at this particular light every singe solitary morning!

When someone is talking on their phone while checking out at a cash register - it is rude to the person working the register and the person you are talking to and the people behind you in line...just tell them to hold on a moment, complete your transaction, then resume your call.

There are so many things. SO said that he was going to start a blog for "Things that annoy Smartypants".

ETA: This just popped up just now and it drives me CRAZY. It's not "would of." It's "would HAVE" or "would've!!!!" My morning is ruined LOL!

Face-bragging. I’ve got a friend whose 3 children walk on water, recently discovered the fountain of youth, and in their spare time, implemented world peace. I've been guilty of an infrequent brag- e.g. DS got his driver's license, but this friend and her DH are just relentless. It is so at odds with the way I was raised, it makes me really uncomfortable and embarrassed for them.

Public bathrooms that appear to have been the victim of a warthog invasion. I just do not understand how civilized people can leave them in such a deplorable state. You make a mess, you clean it up.

Confusing the word reign with rein. It is free rein, people, (like what you give a horse) not free reign.

My biggest irk of all: insufficient sun visors. I guess the angle of the sun this time of year is just especially bad but I have to do continuous contortions to avoid being totally blinded. I could avoid it if my car seat could adjust its height, but it can’t and I don’t even have one of those fancy visors with a pull-out extender. Is it just me, or is the blinding glare of the sun just THE most annoying thing? I drive DH crazy, but of course, he's 6’2” so it’s not a problem for him.

I’m also annoyed because I’m always making a mental note to remember the things that annoy me for when these threads come up—but I can never remember my notes.

I do this because as someone who has a kid in this age group there is a big difference between a kid who just turned seven and one who is almost eight. It amazes me how much they change in a single year even when they get to elementary age. There are things I would give my kid a pass on last year as a first grader that I don’t give her a pass on now because she ought to know better.

ETA: The thing that irks me is when other kids in my kid’s class “borrow” her stuff and give it back broken or not at all. I just had to replace a bunch of her supplies because other kids used her stuff (often without asking) and wrecked it. She is pretty careful with her things here at home so I believe her when she says she didn’t break her school crayons or lose her markers herself.

My sheltie loved poo flavored water.  It was cool, flavored, and refreshing.  Everyone learned how to close the lid because you'd be eating dinner and then hear the slurp, slurp.  Grossed everyone out.  My corgi is too short to get into the bowl, so wondering if that will now change.

There's a restaurant DH likes that has that.  The whole ladies room is a disaster.  smh

We are kindred spirits. 
I know someone, really like her as a person but nothing is ever her fault. The universe is always against her. It gets so tiring to try to be supportive. 

I can't stand when people chew gum. It drives me CRAZY! The noise and the movement of the jaw are so annoying.

I'm easily annoyed by other noises as well, but gum chewing is the worst.

I also get very irritated when people think that basic driving rules don't apply to them, especially in the morning when I am dropping kids off at school. There is always someone who thinks they don't need to wait in the car line or that they can pass cars on the right. This is especially maddening because usually the cars are stopped in that area because of pedestrians crossing the street. So passing on the side is dangerous.

This is a truly stupid thing...I can't stand the way my boss says the word borrow.

RE: toilet paper dispensers

I was wondering if there was an ADA requirement for accessibility. There is. The minimum distance from the floor to the bottom of the dispenser is 18".

Basically, any loud mouth noise bugs the sh!t out of me....gum chewing, smacking, popping, chip chomping - you know what I'm talking about....when the eater chomps that chip or other crunchy food before closing his mouth.  UGH!!!!  
Ice chewing, slurping, teeth on the utensil, loud and repetitive clanging of the utensil on the plate or bowl..... my list is giving me anxiety!

Another thing that bugs me at home is that the kids and DH tend to leave the cupboard doors wide open. When I am pulling into the driveway I can see the open doors through the kitchen window and it drives me crazy!

I hate "no problem" as the response to thanking someone. I never said it was a problem for you... I am trying to show my appreciation. I realize its dumb and I am going to have to get over it...but I miss the simple "You're Welcome"

I think the place we go to has the top of the dispenser at 18 inches from the ground.
