Hatred of an entire political party. Assuming that every last person who holds office is the scum of the earth and they are incapable of serving honorably.

Toddlers standing in shopping carts. As much as I see it, it must be a small thing to others, but oh how it pisses me off, and YES I will mommy judge you for it!

This is a relatively recent one but it's pissing me off big time.. Online shopping, that's where you sit at home and avoid having to deal with the sales people...but wait - no!! Now we have chat pop windows and the sales people can harass you right there in you own home! who TF thought that was a good idea??
ba bing..."hello my name is Michael can I help you with anything today" ba bing..."hello can I help you with any product questions" ba bing..."let me know if you need any help"
I was buying something online yesterday went to several sites to compare prices etc and the constant "bing bing bing" of the chat windows on every site every.single.time I went back to the page had me so close to typing 'fuck off' in their stupid little window.

I caught a child (probably around a year old) as he fell out of the seat part of the cart at the grocery store. The parent was a dad with about five kids under the age of five hanging off various parts of the cart. He put the one that fell out right back in and continued his oblivious shopping. I had to go shop on the other side of the store to shop, it was going to give me a heart attack.

Whistling. By the second note I’m ready to throat punch the person. I can’t stand it. It hurts my ears.

A Very Small Thing: Facebook memes that are funny, to-the-point, and fit me, but with a spelling mistake so I can't repost them. For the win!!

Bad hockey etiquette - you don't get up and move around while the puck is in play. Wait for the whistle!

Lack of a copy editor in professional publications. People who have the volume turned on their electronic devices in public places, especially in confined spaces like airplanes and waiting rooms. DD25 when she can't acknowledge a text for days on end when I just need a 2 letter response. Aargh.

The sound of people chewing and the sound of someone crinkling a wrapper in a quiet environment.
But the worst...the absolute WORST...is gum smacking and chewing. What a disgusting, revolting sound it makes. It makes me want to pull the gum out of the person's mouth and stick it in their hair.

I thought of another one. I see this on Facebook a lot where someone is looking for a recipe, book recommendation or something and will post:
Best homemade chocolate chip cookie recipe. GO!
I silently say “you effing go” and keep scrolling.

When online forms ask me information I already gave. Like, I got a reminder for a travel vaccination. By email. I open up the page to set an appointment, and it asks for my email adress.  That sort of thing pisses me off soooooo much.

Onions that won't peel! ugh... ran into some like this last night when I was cooking dinner. Reminds me of how it used to be with hard boiled eggs before I got my Instant Pot. I end up just hacking at the onions to get off the outside skin, which of course wastes a lot of edible onion. grrr Since I pretty much hate all things to do with cooking this is probably why the onion thing really annoys me.

What a disgusting, revolting sound it makes. It makes me want to pull the gum out of the person's mouth and stick it in their hair. Chewing and wrappers are the worst. I also hate the sound of spoons clinking around in bowls over and over again. At some point, I think I'd rather hear a slurp from picking up the bowl. Ugh.

Ditto the mouth noises. I sit 6 feet from a coworker who eats raw carrots and dip at 9am and chomps on ice all day long. Thank goodness we can wear headphones and it drowns out some of the annoying chomping.

Web pages that have a whole screen popup ad. Oh my word! Instantly angry and vow to never buy the item or shop where ever the ad is from! (Sprint I'm looking at you!)
Also the ads that appear across the bottom of the screen while watching youtube videos. Grrr!

This annoys me as well. It's especially bad on a cell phone where I can't find the X to click out of it, and on some sites there isn't a way to close it. So now I'm annoyed because I don't find that helpful at all and I go shop some place that doesn't do that.

Is there a standard distance people should leave? I learned in Driver's Ed (150 years ago) that you could measure "assured clear distance" by picking a landmark ahead and counting two seconds between when the car ahead of you passes and when you pass, i.e. Car ahead passes a certain tree one, Mississippi two, Mississippi My car passes the tree. If my car passes the tree before I finish "two, Mississippi," then I need to leave more distance. This method takes speed into account, since assured clear distance is longer for higher speeds. The problem is NYC is that what *I* call "assured clear distance" is what everyone else calls "Thanks for leaving space so I can cut in front of you!"

We binge watched two whole seasons of Timeless on Netflix, only to find out that the 2-part conclusion (because the show was then cancelled so they had to wrap it up) isn't available online anywhere. You really didn't miss much.....you can probably find a place to read it and that will be enough. It was disappointing to say the least.

The neighbor’s dog when it is barking practically under my office window while I am trying to speak with a client. Especially when I suddenly realize that said dog IS under my office window and it is actually my dog whom I forgot to bring in because my train of thought left the station without me. Getting old sucks!

My next-door neighbour driving out of her driveway. It’s an upwards slope to get out but she always revs up her engine like she's driving up Everest, not a gentle incline. It drives me crazy. So do her little yap dogs that set off my dog many times a day.  " src="//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/superangry.png">

My oldest son’s eating habits. I taught him how to behave at the dinner table but he eats like an animal (he’s 13)!
Slouched over, elbows on the table, shoveling food in his mouth faster than he can chew, bites that are too big, chewing with his mouth open. It’s disgusting and I’m over it! I don’t eat like that, his father and brother don’t eat like that... why does eat eat like he’s consuming his last meal? Drives. Me. Crazy.
