I'm just not up to posting about the Uncle Allen ordeal. It's a long story, but I will tell you about it at a later date. With her cell phone post, blu got me thinking about other things that annoy me, so here's my list.
Small annoyances
Cheap people.
People who don’t flush public toilets.
Cashiers who don’t say “thank you” at the end of a transaction. A “Have a good day (like that’s sincere,) or handing you the bag with a “There you go” don’t cut it.
People who put the milk carton back in the fridge when there’s only a drop left in the carton.
People who emit a hand-covered cough right before they go to shake your hand.
That glob of gunk that forms on the pump end of hand lotion when it sits too long.
People who walk their dogs and let them poop on your lawn or the sidewalk but don’t clean it up.
When I go to use a flashlight and the batteries are dead.
Men who shake your hand and start pumping and your whole arm shakes.
People who spit when they talk.
The fact that DVDs have that tight wrapping and that security strip and you have to go and find a knife to cut it opened.
Pens that run out of ink in mid sentence.
Junk mail.
People who call and say “Guess who this is.”

On handshakes: I hate it when people squeeze my hand too hard. I am getting some arthritis in my thumb and index finger and it hurts. There's one woman I've met who squeezes so hard that it can bring tears to one's eyes.
handshaking should be outlawed. just ask howie mandel.
i agree with all your annoyances emma. one that i would like to add would be public restrooms who let the toweling run out and after you have washed your hands you find there is nothing to dry them with. so you kinda wipe them on your pants and then you have to touch the door handle that is all wet from everyone else trying to get out with wet hands. (i usually open the door with the toweling still in my hand to protect myself from the disgusting women who don't wash after wiping their cootch. blech.
My turn to add a few:
People who get into the Express Lane with more items than allowed, and who then loudly say, "well, I have to go pick up Debbi at dance practice, so I'm in a hurry." Like the rest of us have nothing better to do than hang out in the supermartket all day.
People who use the last of any given thing in the house without letting anyone else know. "Oh, yeah, I forgot to tell you, we're out of ketchup..."
People who ask me how to spell my first name and last name, and then send me mail with my first AND last name misspelled.
Anything having to do with the X-Men. There are WOMEN in that group, so shouldn't it be X-People?
Movie reviews that tell you too much about the movie.
TV remotes.
And anything that gets me out of bed (including alarm clocks) when I want to sleep more.
I hate that Ice cream is fattening.
I hate driving in the rain.
I hate it when people call my office and after hearing the recording ask....is this the medical center??? Duh.
I hate Monday mornings.
I hate bad haircuts.
Lulu
People who drive slow in the fast lane and won't move over.
People who walk in or out of a door that you're opening for yourself, like you're a freaking doorman, and don't even say "thank you".
People who barge into an occupied elevator without waiting to let people off.
Psychic slow walkers who are in front of you but who somehow know which way to veer to prevent you from getting around them.
Guess who!!
people annoy me....
Still waiting for Emma to guess who this is.
my neighbours,
Cats
kids
husbands
people who are not me who win the lottery
Hey! I have an impersonator. Identify yourself.
Anonymous is Bert.
I'm guilty of the walkman/Ipod thing just because I can't hear it if it isn't loud.
People in the express lane with too much stuff. There's an episode of Dead Like Me when a woman cuts into a long line at the post office, and one of the main characters asks her, "Is everyone else in this line an asshole?" Then, she says she has kids waiting, and he goes into a long schpiel about what everyone else has to do that they're in a hurry. Anyway, I might try that next time someone is in the express line with too much shit.... though around here it's usually someone who doesn't speak English.
no, Anonymous is NOT Bert. It was Urban. The Anonymoose person sounds like Bert
I was the cat hating anonymous
Mems,
I think we all knew that ;)
Death
Taxes
Texas
Broccoli getting stuck in teeth
Not that it matters a whit, but the person posting here as anonymous is not Bert. I can't reveal how I know this, but if you love God and ice cream, you'll believe me on this.
Dear Moosehead,
duh.
Dang . . . how'd she know it was me?
Urban, because you HATE slow driving people in the fast lane!
Hee hee . . . yes, I do. If I could, I'd mount a cannon on the front of my car and just blast them away everytime I come across them.
