Little things (and I mean little) that make you nuts
This stuff makes me MENTAL. |
|
|
| When I push a button on my FiOS DVR remote control and it does
nothing, does not acknowledge the button press even though it is workng on the request, causing me to press again (and again) which surely gets me into trouble. Drives me nuts. |
| ok when i got to walmart and she takes my coupon and siad hum not sure if you got that right brand of dog bones ok does she own the walmart |
Itchy labels that are sewn in with the seam  |
| There are a million things! When people mispronounce: edzacly (exactly) nucular (nuclear) ax (ask) expecially (especially) excape (escape) they make me NUTS! and dropping the coffee grounds just before they hit the garbage can... Shellie |
| Okay, here's mine. I am a teacher. When grade four students throw their garbage on the floor beside the garbage can instead of into it, and when paid adult lunch supervisors don't have them correct the situation, thus leaving it for me to deal with, after the fact, when, of course, "no one" belongs to any of the debris. . |
Internet lingo....particularly the terms "win" and "fail"   |

Shellie Being in a coffee shop and hearing someone order an "Expresso"  |
| oh goodness...where do I begin... 1. Tapping of pens/pencils 2. Smacking while eating 3. Taking the last food item and not discarding the empty container |
| Seeing someone chew with his mouth open. CLOSE IT! Forgetting to put wash in the dryer. Gotta rewash it - my fault, but it still bugs me. Shellie |

Shellie My dh says that I say expecially... And I hate it when someone ax me a question!!! |
A little thing that drives me nuts--sticky price stickers that are placed on an item that won't even come off with 'goo-gone'. Hate hate hate trying to get them off--especially when placed on the glass of a picture frame.  |

Shellie Hey don't make fun of people with speech impediments.  I can't help it if I have a hard time saying some things with the letter R in it. Not to mention how I end up sounding slightly British when I get tired (have never been there). When I worked at a hotel I had people guessing me all over the European map while I had never lived outside of the state of Oregon. And I'll have you know that the especially word is hard to say so there!  Ditto on the coffee grounds. I hate that! |
| - price labels on the backs of shoes, I hate getting them off, because it never comes off in one - spitting - people who eat with their mouths open - text speak or txt spk and yes I know its mean't to be quick, but I just can't send a text without correct punctuation or grammar, no no no no no !!! There  |
| Taking out the garbage and not replacing the garbage bag. Walking around a party with a cup that has 1/16th of liquid in it and continuously sloshing it around. Buying a six pack bottles, taking out five and leaving the last bottle in the near empty cardboard container. Leaving socks in the crooks of the couches. |
| Ok ok...my husband is brilliant man, and a wonderful housekeeper helper (well, he's the main cleaner next to our cleaning lady...I just don't do that...) BUT! He will NOT put a new roll of tp on the roller! UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| ha, none of the females in my family do!!!!!! |
the unwritten TP rule at our house is: if there will be less TP on the roll than what you would use, get the new roll out! It can be left setting on the tank lid, but you need to set it out.  |

Thats what im talkin bout!http://theoatmeal.com/comics/apostrophe Trying to picture you saying that is making me smile. Moreover, who have you been hanging around to write such a stunning piece of teenage verbiage? Or what have you been watching?  |
| Rock on! |m|/ \|m|I'm hep. |
| Ron, do you mean hip !! Why is it American (only what I've seen from TV, please not insulting anyone here  )) teenagers make their sentances sound like questions, it really makes me smile in all honesty and I try and take the mick, but I can't do an American accent to save my life lol I could like totally hear, like totally what you were saying Ron ?  |
| I thought Australians spoke in questions. No offence to the Aussies. Or is that Aussie's? |
| Ollie's Mum- I am right ther with you. I can't believe I missed that one. Add another: upspeak Stop it. Do not speak in questions. (obviously I am irritated by everything, and that bugs me too.) Shellie |

| LOL I like Bob. |
toilet seats that are left up (2 guys in the house) and falling is in the middle of the night  or the other option lid left up and pupper decides to take a drink and then the wet seat of course in the middle of the night  |
| Just as a matter of interest: ax or aks is the original form of the word ask: 15th or 16th century usage. When I lived in Bermuda, this pronunciation was very common! I hate stickies on fruit! |
sheepiegail wrote: toilet seats that are left up (2 guys in the house) and falling is in the middle of the night Bugs me big time too with 3 male uprights in the house. That is so annoying and also TP no one ever replaces the roll only when one is on the loo and you go to grab the TP and find not enough or empty. The dumb dumbs in my house would never give a second thought to replacing the TP on the holder. SHEESH MEN I suppose they dont have the ability to multi-task and dont think how inconvenient it can be for the opposite sex. LOL. Especially the toilet seat up and risk of falling in when one is half asleep for a nocturnal visit |
sheepiegail wrote: toilet seats that are left up (2 guys in the house) and falling is in the middle of the night This is not a male/female issue. The rule should be the lid is closed when you leave the room.Do all the ladies of oes.org put the lid down all of the time? |
| I don't put the lid down because I live alone. One of the many benefits..... But when I was married I didn't care if he left the seat up. After all, I left the seat down and he had to put it up, so it was even steven. |
| Seat down, cover down. We have dogs |

The rule should be the lid is closed when you leave the room.Do all the ladies of oes.org put the lid down all of the time? YES. There's a lid for a reason! I am not worried about falling in or whatever, but I just hate things not looking right. I start itching.Since we're talking "LITTLE" ...I cannot stand putting jelly on my pb&j after it's been in the fridge. It doesn't go on evenly, so you've got big chunks you're trying to smooth out which rips the bread, bla bla bla. Bothers me every time. My husband is never going to DIE like me if he doesn't eat right away, so he takes the time to get an extra bowl and microwave a portion of the jelly. Way too time consuming for me. Plus I hate dirtying up another bowl. |

| Absolutely, seat down !!! |
| I read somewhere that when you flush the toilet, lots of germs get expelled out of the pan into the air if the lid is up. I ALWAYS close the lid before I flush!! Imagine if your toothbrush is in the open in the bathroom.......... mine is in a cabinet but I still close the lid before flushing |
| Of all the things that bug me - toilet seats up/down aren't one of them. Go figure! Of course I grew up with 4 brothers and I have all boys now, so I guess that's a really good thing. Dogs, cats, critters, and humans - all boys but me. I don't think I could live with a female in the house anymore. Maybe that's another thing that bugs me. Shellie |
Number one pet peeve - when someone refers to a person i am with as "her" or "she." I take an elderly friend to doctor appointments or other appointments and instead of saying, "Mrs Smith" they say, "what is she in for today or I need her ins card...so ill-mannered. And men wearing hats in restaurants and my favorite, a man wearing a muscle shirt with his arm pits hanging out and wearing a bubba hat. Appetizing.  |

It's only okay in a restaurant where there's a dollar menu. Anywhere else, no way. |
