It isn't something that I talk about much.

In fairness, I hadn't heard it until about 4 months ago. I just assumed it was my naiveté that had kept me in the dark.

Ugh you have no idea. I feel bad for the people that live in cities that rarely get snow I'm sure it's much worse. Bottom line is, if you don't feel comfortable driving a car in conditions, or you do not have the ability to, don't.


I've been taking notes over the years, I am going to write a book about why people should not be allowed to drive. I think I'm the only one who takes it seriously.

The word 'tyre' irks me pretty good.

"Tire" bugs me when you're talking about tyres.

The amount of kids in my music classes who are "rappers". These individuals are arrogant and usually don't know **** about music.

How these said individuals use the term "producer". In their translation this is someone who merely makes "beats", which ****s on my major entirely and pisses me off to no end. Its because of these morons that when I say I am studying music production people go "oh like make beats?" ****ing idiots. None of these goons have ever heard of Ken callait and act like they're gods gift to the studio. I can't wait to transfer to berklee and seperate the riff-raff from the actual artists.

Amen.

I'll take the edge off your cold...

Traffic (and, on a related note, I'll throw in on people not driving the speed limit)

Also - the when the person in the car behind me honks at me repeatedly like it's my fault that we're not going anywhere when I very clearly have no place to go. Hey, buddy, traffic pisses me off too, but don't be a douche.

The fact that I tend to blurt out whatever pops into my head. I mean, sometimes it really works for me, but not always.

The water heater doesn't have an endless supply of hot water for my baths.

When I say "oh yeah, I'm good at that!" and am then asked to do it, at which point I completely forget how.

Mornings.

People who use golf umbrellas in manhattan and almost jab out my eyes.

Oh also lately all of the pretty and interesting women I have met have boyfriends.


wtf girls, you don't know what you're missing out on.

not being able to get any sleep at night because the past month the baby has decided to wake up almost every hour on the hour all while my husband is able to sleep through it even though hes 5 feet away from the baby.

Oh yeah I remembered another driving one..

People that for some reason I have yet to determine, do not speed up to the appropriate speed while on the freeway onramp. There's nothing more annoying than turning onto the onramp behind someone and suddenly realizing you're about to knock their rear bumper, forcing you to tap your brakes.. FINALLY you make it on to the freeway, going a meager 45mph, cars flying past you in the other lanes, and people swerving around you...

Bonus points for the annoying when you finally get a chance to try and go around them, and as you're changing lanes, they change into your lane. (or whenever that happens in general)

cables/wires get me so pissed off, they will be the death of me at some point

people mentioning their iPhones for no good reason, when really all they need to say is 'my phone'

This happens on a daily basis... I park my bicycle in the shed, lock the shed, and when I'm in front of my house I can't remember if I locked the shed. So I walk back, check if it's locked (98 out of 100 times it is), and walk back over to my front door. I'll unlock it, go in, lock it, start walking up the stairs and halfway the first flight of stairs I can't remember if I locked the door behind me, so it's back down the stairs.

• Learning long Russian words with Rosetta Stone

• The word "preggers" (hint: it's not a word!)

• Talking about someone's unborn child as a food item like "biscuit" or "nugget". Stop acting like you are a baby eater.

• How a professor at a university compares Thomas Carlyle to Moses

People that use the word "Guesstimate".

People say that there? Wow.

People say that here sometimes. I don't have a big problem with it, we say all kinds of goofy made-up stuff around here, it keeps things interesting. What DOES annoy me is when i get the impression that someone thinks it's actually a word.

I always say "embryo" or "fetus" depending on what stage of the pregnancy:

"Amy, these are my friends from high school. This is Adam, Sarah, and fetus."
"Well hi Sarah, how are you? How's your fetus?"
"Hey, did you hear? Sarah is with fetus."

People that take petty things so seriously that it irritates them to the point that they think about it for more than a few seconds.

it's really annoying how big my penis is

also video games

lmao! oh that's great, I'm using this

All of the attractive/interesting men I've met recently are married.

I may be the only unmarried person in my new workplace. It's beyond bizarre.

credit companies with billing cylces of less than 30 days.

Disagree. This makes you awesome.

Hahaha one of many reasons I miss you so much

My ****ing boss.

I don't work again till next Saturday. WTF.

I'm like next in line to be a supervisor. And he's hiring all these new people giving them hours cutting down mine. WTF do you need more people when you already have them?

I have a pair of "problem" employees. They're somewhat of an enigma: they work hard, and put in many hours without complaints, and are willing to do whatever is needed...but they do stupid things. They sass other employees, make messes, waste time online, and are, at times, belligerent.

They came in after hours and were playing PS3 on the projector in the conference room. WTF?
They hooked up a wireless router to our network so they could use their personal laptops. WTF?
I found them using work tools and equipment to build an RC car. WTF?
They eat lunch in the theater and leave burger wrappers on the stage. WTF?
They send snarky emails that should be private to multiple recipients, not just those involved. WTF?
They rudely and openly contradict me in a seminar I was giving, only to have their objection be proven wrong later. WTF?

These guys are on the fast track to getting fired, but when not being stupid, they work hard, put in overtime, work weekends, do the "bad jobs" no one else wants, whatever is needed They don't make sense and are a constant headache.

The question is, are they recently married?

Cheaper?

People driving on the wrong side of the bicycle path. Most bicycle paths are one way, but of course people will ignore this. I don't mind so much that they do this, but FCS stick to the right side if you're going against the traffic! Going against the traffic AND driving on the left side.... I mean really? It's unbelievable how many people do this. It's just so stupid.


Suicidal pedestrians

When I ride my bicycle from my house to the center of the city, I constantly need to evade stupid suicidal pedestrians. One moment they'll be walking down the sidewalk, the next they'll impulsively turn and step out onto the bicycle path without even bothering to look if anything's coming.

Do these people have a death wish or something? It seems like everybody's relying on sounds to warn them, but bikes hardly make any sounds.

In what is only a ten minute ride I'll have to evade like 40 people or so. I can't even really hurry because I constantly need to slow down whenever there are pedestrians on the sidewalk close to the bicycle path, because they might just step right in front of my wheel without bothering to look. The worst is when they start yelling at me because I almost hit them because THEY didn't bother to look.

Every so often I'll shoulder check someone, and once I even hit a really old lady... I think she was 70 or so. I saw her walking down the sidewalk, talking on the phone when she noticed someone on the other side of the street and impulsively stepped right in front of my wheel. I saw it happening, so I was already hitting the brakes, but I was going down a small hill, so I had a little too much speed for that. I tried to evade on her left side, but at the last moment my steer caught on to her dress and pulled her from her feet. She spun around and fell on her arm, and I flew from my bike and smacked onto the road.

I tried to apologize to the lady and went to see if she was alright, but it turned out she didn't speak a word of Dutch. Before I knew it, I was surrounded by an angry mob of at least 200 people who were all shouting and yelling at me. I felt very intimidated and was even being threatened by guys who were pushing me around. Luckily the police turned up within a few minutes, because it was really getting out of hand. So when they asked for witnesses, it turned out literally NONE of them had actually seen what happened, except for this one shopkeeper who could confirm that there was nothing I could have done, because she simply stepped right in front of my wheel. I would have even hit her if I had been going slow. They took my number and the lady was taken with an ambulance. Never heard anything about it. I felt really bad about it, even if I couldn't help what happened. But why are people so quick to judge? Appearances can be very deceiving... If an old lady is involved, you're automatically the culprit.

The barber stole my damn sideburns!

On the other hand apparently females dig my new haircut despite it being a little short.

They didn't ask before doing it?? I'd kill someone

I've been there. It makes it impossible to be friends with people you work with because for some reason as soon as people get married they become robots who stay at home and don't even have sex.

That might just be Utah, though.

Not trying to be a smartass: What's wrong with normal, unfiltered water? (Unfiltered after it comes out of the tap)

When I'm walking up to a toilet or urinal, and I spit into it (Habit for some reason) and this one like string of spit just wont for the life of me leave my lip.. it's ****ing irritating!

Well what's even worse is just about all of them have children. So I really have almost nothing to talk to them about even though they're pretty cool people. All they can talk about is their kids, and I certainly don't have anything to say to that.

Sometimes I make up illegitimate children that I visit covertly for those situations.

Probably not as viable for you, unfortunately. It's even worse than working with the girl who can only talk about her 9 cats and doesn't want to make out in the copy room. Ugh, I require interesting conversation or inappropriate work relationships. AT LEAST ONE, PEOPLE

I'm like that and I'm not even married. ;_;

you should try to be more of a sexbot and less of a unsexbot
