Minor stuff that drives you nuts

[Black Irish]

I submitted a resume and got a call back for an interview. The guy referred to himself as "Mister so-and-so" both on the message and when I spoke to him. It is just really pretentious to only refer to yourself as Mister or Miss. I'm going to have a hard time resisting the urge to excessively refer to this guy by his first name during the interview. I know I should't fight pettiness with more pettiness, but the intrinsic Irish urge to poke sticks at silly grandstanding can be hard to overcome.

What is some small potato stuff that drives you otherwise reasonable adults to illogical anger?

"With au jus." The French "au jus" translates to "with juice." Is it really necessary (or at all helpful) to say "with with juice?"

I love it when at work, when you respond to someone thru email with a detailed solution to a problem, only for them to email you back complaining that you never offered a resolution to their problem. The funny part being, your detailed solution is on the reply of that person complaining.

Ironically, its that same 'lack of attention to detail' is the reason they needed the solution in the first place.

I suggest this thread be combined with the epic "What Really Grinds Your Gears?"

[TerryTate]

People who aren't self-reliant.

Slow walkers.

 

[BobD]

People with an over blown sense of self importance.

People that take advantage of the fact that I have enough self control to not beat the living cr@p out of them.

People that flick their cigarette butts on the ground or out the window while they're driving.

People that don't pick up after their dogs.

Smokers.

Welfare recipients with $200 tennis shoes.

That bacon, beer and donuts are all "bad" for you.

I could go on, I'm on a little bit of a grumpy streak lately.

 

[bert2834]

The smokers at work who don't put their butt in the smoke waste can only to throw them on the ground right next to it.

 

[Grahambo]

People who drive the speed limit in the 'fast lane'.

People who lack common sense.

People who do not have a sense of humor.

Adults who can't spell.

The argument that people use on the internet when the just say.....x>y.

You can't just say something is greater than something else as your argument.

Took AP European History Friday. That wasnt that bad. The DBQ might have gotten me though.

Taking AP Geography Friday. Most people say that is fairly easy.

Took APUSH on Friday. It was so easy, but then again I'm a social studies guy. I have geography on Friday as well. If there were jobs in geography id major in that.

Bandwagon fans that talk trash... if you want to hop on and enjoy a title... have at it... just don't tell me you're a lifer and talk trash to me when you can't even name half the starting lineup

You a Junior? I'm taking APUSH to next year. Is the course hard?

I'm a senior. APUSH was difficult during the year but I had a really good teacher. The multiple choice is extremely easy. You then have a mandatory Dbq which kinda sucks and then they give you four essays you have to pick two. Those are pretty easy.

I thought US history was easy Friday as well

 

[chubler]

Took AP biology today, for some reason the multiple choice was ridiculously easy but the frq's were hard... just how many of us are in high school here? This almost calls for its own thread...

 

[HereComeTheIrish]

People that chew with their mouth open=Pigs

I can't stand feet...and people sticking them within 10 feet of me just to make me nuts=douchecanoes.

talking way too loud when I'm only 2 feet away from you=inconsiderate to me and others

Rude A-Holes=self explanatory

disrespectful children who hide behind their a-hole parents when they act like dipsh!ts

turd goblins who live in mommy and daddy's basement and feel a need to run up their text allotment contacting recruits=*reckless*

Old people/women driving.... Use public transportation. If not available, walk.

Crapbags who think they become more distinguished by drinking an import beer rather than sipping something made in the good ol' US of friggin' A... These dopes think that this type of behavior puts them a level above everyone else. I think not.

Sh!tty Posters=need I say more?

 

[notredomer23]

I got one. People who hijack threads

 

[NDPhilly]

I'll make a AP Exam thread

 

[Black Irish]

People who hover over a bartender and micromanage his drink making. Would it be cool if I came into your office and leaned over your shoulder to tell you how to file your TPS reports? Then I'll throw you a crumpled up buck and expect you to kiss my feet.

OMG that pisses me off to no end. I am a lifelong golfer and I cannot stand people with terrible etiquette on a course.
Also, I have bad road rage, and what really makes me mad are people that can't use turn signals when changing lanes, and other blatant disregards to common decency.
