[choo choo]

[IrishAlum1997]

Drives me nuts that Halle Berry doesn't return my calls.

haha me too bro...i forgot about that...or and when audi doesn't (that's kinda of an inside joke...unless you know me real well)

 

[Black Irish]

When you're talking to a group of people and one person tunes you out, but when you finish, you get a big reaction out of everyone who was listening (big gasp, big laugh, whatever) and the person who wasn't listening starts saying "what? What did he say? What happened? Say it again" Pay attention from the start jackwad

 

[NDFan4Life]

People who don't use common sense. It seems to have gotten worse as time goes on. Maybe I'm too sensitive to it.

I could list some examples, but it would take too long.

 

[NDOM]

I was in a restaurant today enjoying a nice meal with the girlfriend, as a couple who had obviously tuned out their screaming child also enjoyed their meal.
This continued for at least 20 minutes and the parents acted as if they were completely unaware that their little sh!t factory was screaming bloody murder.

DO SOMETHING WITH YOUR KID!


What really grinds your gears?

THIS! Find a goddamn baby sitter or take your kids to chuckee cheese or mcdonalds playland for christ sake.

There is NOTHING worse than a whaling kid. (besides the parents that dont do anything about it)

A lot of places around here especially fine dinning are banning a certain age group of kids and people are flipping out about it. I'm obviously in favor.

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

Being check raised when you know your beat.

SEPTA Busses.

Refs/umpires controlling outcomes of games.

People who use "ironic" to describe a situation when it's really coincidental.

Soto's irrationalness in Karate Kid 2-- Dude, Myagi apologized over and over.

Hipsters riding retro bikes.

Rich people who've out priced me for seats to Phillies games. Don't lie to your self- you weren't fans in 07 when I was buying $25 seats off of stubhub to sit lower level.

Phillies fans who act like Boston fans.

People who come into work and talk sports and act like they have a unique point of view when it was the same **** I just listened to on the AM radio dial.

People who say "they don't play enough small ball." STFU.

Missing over unders by the hook.

People who Come to me desk to talk and it is clear they have zero interest in talking to them yet they continue to stand there and talk.

The Conshohocken curve on route 76/Skhukill Expressway. People feel the need to break there.

 

[ShakeDown]

Improper use of a pronoun without it's proper preceding antecedent...

EX:

"They're building a Walgreens down the street."

"They say Hurricane Irene is going to hit Friday."

Who the frick are "they"??? I want to join this unnamed company "They" that is in charge of so much around us.

 

[Rocket89]

It really grinds my gears when people back into parking spaces.

Why does half the population have to act like they will be leaving work, their home, or wherever they are as if someone is chasing them?

Why would someone back into a spot driving a '97 Taurus? And even if you have a nice car, STFU nobody cares.

I think it should be illegal.

I hate pulling into work behind someone who does this and then having to stop far away from them, so they can take their time, have their space, and back into their spot.

I hate driving down a street and having a car stop and then having to go through the trouble of figuring out what the heck they are doing. Once I go around them...yup they reverse it back into their driveway.

It's a selfish act.

If you're driving in the street, you should respect your fellow drivers, use your turn signal and pull into your driveway like normal. When you leave, you wait until the coast is clear and then you reverse it out of there.

Habitual back up into parking spot people, why do you do it?

And if you have a circle driveway, would you still do it?

When you park at concerts, and things of that nature where you're directed into rows, does it rob you of your masculinity to park your car with your hood facing in?

I want answers.

 

[NDFan4Life]

I've repped just about everyone in this thread. Now it says I've repped too many people & I have to wait 24 hours to rep someone. WTF?!?

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

People chewing their food. Have to have the TV or music on. CAN'T STAND IT.

Teenage girls in the movie theater. Seems like they are always directly behind me giggling and being obnoxious.

People that don't fully stop at a STOP sign just so they can beat you through the intersection.

Elderly drivers driving 30 in a 55.

When someone has been outside sweating and they come in and sit down on your couch. Yes I most definitely want to lay around in your sweat when you are not here. Thank you.

Parents who brag about all the things little Tommy can do that your child can't yet.

Purdue fans.

The guy in the luxury sports car who thinks the rules of the road do not apply to him.

When a group of people is walking towards you in the hallway three wide and not one of the moves over to let you through.

The 300 lb lady who orders a salad in the cafeteria because she is "on a diet" but then proceeds to get fried chicken strips on it with extra ranch dressing.

Snoring.

When you are laying in bed trying to go to sleep and there is that one pipe/faucet/ air duct that makes a noise every 5-10 seconds. I literally go insane.

People that want to chit chat with the grocery store clerk when they are going through the line.

The one-upper.

 

[GEORGIA DOMER]

People that b*#@h to much.

 

[k1ssme1m1r1sh]

Hmm...let's see. People who talk on the phone to professionals while chomping food.
People who can't execute a 4 way stop properly.
Republicans.
Miracle whip.
Michigan "fans" who don't know crap about their own team, but they know every record, NC, heisman winner, and stat of ND.
Men.

Oh and country music made after 1998.

 

[nlroma1o]

people who think my dog is a wolf.

people who say the first thing that pops into their head, without thinking about how stupid it makes them sound...

[BestBIrish47]

Not properly using the clutch on a manual transmission.... I thank you

A good friend of mine ALWAYS backs into parking spaces. He told me that it's a military thing. He said when he was in the Army it was against rules and regulations to pull into a parking space...Something about being ready and alert. But I agree, it drives me crazy too.

 

[k1ssme1m1r1sh]

I fogot to add people who spell their kids names ridiculously. It's one thing to "Brendyn" as opposed to "Brendan" but I draw the line at Tiphonie (Tiffany) M'rhiyah (Mariah) or Areeana (ariana) or Mikehl (Michael) all names I've seen working in the medical field, and don't get me started on some of the dumb names people give their kids, like they're purse dogs.

Finding out that the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial was made in China

 

[RyCo1983]

You guys...please

Everybody stop fighting...

Note: Where's that crying .gif Buster loves to use when you need it?

The mulletted one and I are cool Beau. Haha. Relaxxxx.

 

[Mr. Larson]

Crying babies on a red eye flight (or any flight for that matter).
Pink-hatted Red Sox fans (this variety is much worse than knowledgable Sox fans)
People at the grocery store paying with a check
Undercooked chicken wings
Rubberneck delays

How about Nosmo King (No Smoking)

 

[GEORGIA DOMER]

im tired of not working at GM. tired of wanting to be him!

 

[bert2834]

When someone pulls out in front of you making you slow down when there is no one within 5 miles behind you.

Wait 10 seconds and proceed jackass!!!

 

[ND NYC]

Finding out that the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial was made in China

Can't stand this. If I have to hit my brakes you cut me off.

Also can't stand when people don't know that it's an exhibition. (ex: Drago, Ivan)

• People who don't stick to the right/ pass on the left-- walking in a hallway, biking on a sidewalk, driving on a street, etc. Welcome to America; pass on the left or GTFO.
  
• Biting insects.
  
• Partisanship.
  
• Pink eye, gastroenteritis, ear infections, etc. (Every parent with a child in daycare is nodding solemnly right now.)
  
• Incompetence at In N Out. I order perfectly: "Double double plain, just meat, cheese, and bun, with a Dr. Pepper to go." That's every piece of information they need from me, and in the exact order it should be entered into the computer, yet it never fails: "Err, do you want onions on your burger? Will you be eating this in your car? What did you want to drink with that?" There's a reason you're walking at a fast food joint, kid.
  
• Punk kids who walk 3+ abreast in the mall and expect you to move out of their way. I stop and make them walk around me, because I'm hard like that.
  
• Crowds.
  
• Parents who don't attempt to control their children in public.
  
• Aggressive noob posters who spam our board and call out veterans.
  
• Reality TV shows.
  
• Ringback tones. You've decided to inflict BEP's "My Humps" on me simply because I need to talk to you? Congrats; I'm never calling you again.
  
• Morning radio "DJs" (they don't play music).
  
• People who let their dogs sh!t on my lawn.
