<p>If you have bad breath then maybe your oral hygiene regimen should extend past chewing gum.</p>
<p>Ew! Yeah, I hate when people “save their gum for later” and spit it out while eating. What the hell. Get a new piece.</p>
<p>The shoulder tapping thing, especially repetitive shoulder tapping by the same person, is annoying.</p>
<p>I’ve heard a lot of annoyance with “your” and “you’re.” What about “its” and “it’s”? That bothers me when used incorrectly.</p>
<p>I hate when my mom cuts pork chops with a sharp knife, and the knife hits the plate beneath and makes that high-pitched chalkboard sound! It causes me physical pain. I can’t handle it.</p>
<p>Dirt under fingernails! I agree! That’s disgusting. I check people for it.</p>
<p>Great thread idea, by the way! I enjoy reading this.</p>
<p>I can’t stand seeing people with dirty mouths. Like when people are eating and they don’t take the time to wipe their mouths in between bites properly so they have crumbs or spaghetti sauce on their face. Gross. I think its just because I’m a little OCD and wipe my mouth excessively while I’m eating. Lol!</p>
<p>Coughing. I don’t care how sick people are, when they cough I hate them for a little bit.
Unnecessary heavy breathing, unnecessary apostrophes, loud eaters, people who can’t spell tomorrow, and people who laugh louder than a situation calls for in order to let everyone around them know they are having fun.</p>
<p>I pop my gum without realizing it and fidget a lot. I blame caffeine :]</p>
<p>I hate it when people smoke in public places…since i literally cannot breathe when there’s cigarette smoke in the air (plus i always think that those people are (in)directly giving me cancer…you know with second-hand smoke and all.)</p>
<p>On bad days i fantasize about killing slow-walking people. They should be fined and forced to do community service…seriously.</p>
<p>Oh, a weird thing about me is that i can’t stand being in a room with the doors open. That’s any kind of doors-main doors, wardrobe doors, cabinets, or even windows-so i HAVE to close them as soon as i walk in (although the windows thing is more because i saw a documentary once where a bug flew in through the window of someone’s house and crawled up their nose while they were asleep. God, just thinking about it makes me feel nauseous.)</p>
<p>I also hate it when i see grammatical or spelling mistakes in advertisements, magazines, books etc. If your gonna do something, do it right-ESPECIALLY if the public are going to see it.</p>
<p>how many of you got annoyed that i wrote “your” instead of “you’re”? lol</p>
<p>^ I was about to say something.</p>
<p>People with cutesy petite sneezes.</p>
<p>I’m one of those who can’t stand people who walk ridiculously slowly. Particularly when they occupy the entire sidewalk and I have to step on the street to walk around them. I also hate people who are ridiculously untidy which is why I hope that I get a relatively clean roommate. I mean I don’t mind a few things out of place but I can’t stand to see clothes strewn all over the place, dirty dishes stacked in a sink, an empty coffee cup with two day old coffee remnants still in the cup. I mean, the only thing you’re doing is inviting ants and roaches to have a feast!</p>
<p>I also have this weird thing that I don’t like people to touch my face. It just makes me really uncomfortable. I love my little brother and everything but he has this thing where you MUST watch him for him to think you’re listening and if not he reaches up and turns my face to point towards him and I freak out.</p>
<p>I also hate when girls sit and you see their underwear. I also CANNOT STAND bad breath or a terrible body odor. I literally take a step back when someone smelly starts talking to me. Take a shower and buy some Listerine for crying out loud!</p>
<p>It really irritates me when people write alot instead of A LOT. Don’t people see the little red squiggly line pop up? And those people on CC who waste space creating a thread asking a question that they could’ve just Googled! It’ll take so long to get a response here when you can just take (literally) ONE minute using a search engine! I also can’t stand the overuse of “like.”</p>
<p>I can’t think of anything else right now :D</p>
<p>I absolutely hate it when I’m on the computer and someone is looking at what I’m doing over my shoulder, or reading something that I’m reading. It doesn’t have to something embarrassing, I could be reading the news online and still get super annoyed at anyone who takes more than a glance. Also, and this one’s a little weirder, I definitely get a little annoyed when people say Chinese in reference to the language, which is called Mandarin. Maybe this is just my inner geek, but it’s like when people refer to Africa as a country, it’s vague and just incorrect. Also, there are two major languages in China- Mandarin and Cantonese, so “Chinese” is a pretty meaningless term. That’s been gnawing away at me for a while, and I’m not even Asian.</p>
<p>But, to be fair, I also do some weird things. I have a tendency to subtly mouth things I just said, like in conversations. I’m really not aware of it, but people tell me I do it pretty often. I also have this incredibly strange compulsive habit that makes it just about impossible for to me hold or touch a cold or wet object without touching the coldness or wetness to my stomach. I’m fully aware of how bizarre that sounds, but whenever I’m holding a cold drink or something, I have to touch my now cold hand to my stomach, just briefly. I also stretch my shoulders a lot, so it always looks like I’m shrugging.</p>
<p>Wow, I came out looking pretty strange, didn’t I?</p>
<p>-I hate people with bad breath & body odor. I can hate you forever solely because of this.</p>
<p>-Staring irritates me so much. </p>
<p>-Lying annoys me. </p>
<p>-Wild, annoying and rambunctious little kids. Really, teach your kids some self-control.</p>
<p>-People who go off tangents in a discussion.</p>
<p>-I hate people who interrupt me when I’m making a point. </p>
<p>-People with no fashion sense.</p>
<p>-Loud people are absolutely annoying.</p>
<p>-People with incredibly low standards in every aspect of life.</p>
<p>-People who laugh for no apparent reason is at the top of my sh * t list also.</p>
<p>-Flamboyant gay men. Really, why do they have to be so much girlier than girls themselves.</p>
<p>-I hate people who just talk too much and can never keep quiet for once. Silent people are far more attractive, intriguing and mysterious than talkative people.</p>
<p>-People who take one I-pod earbud out of your ear without asking just to listen to what you’re listening to. (And usually it’s someone you don’t like and they’re aware you do not like them.)</p>
<p>I’ll keep on adding</p>
<p>People who can’t come up with plans (hang out events, etc)</p>
<p>Irresponsible people</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Girls that constantly write on each others facebook wall acting wayyyyyyyy too happy and letting them know how much they love each other. </p></li>
<li><p>Girls that insist on taking their camera out every night and taking 5000 pictures of each other and everything else that is not picture worthy. Just enjoy yourself and stop taking ****ing pictures. If you’re going site seeing or if you see someone famous or something like that, take a picture. If you’re at the bar with your friends on a random Thursday night, don’t take a picture or 50. </p></li>
<li><p>Girls that txt all the time. Just because someone isn’t talking to you or you’re not involved in a conversation, doesn’t mean you have to txt. </p></li>
<li><p>Flamboyant flaming homosexuals. I shouldnt know you’re gay if I’m 500 yards away from you.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>simpson98, omg I absolutely hate those things as well! I CANNOT stand people reading over my shoulder. I immediately stop what I’m doing and give them “the look.” And the thing is they do it so openly, literally gawking at the screen.</p>
<p>Another thing that is somewhat similar to yours is that at certain times, if I touch something with one hand (particularly an item whose temperature is much higher or lower than room temperature), my body suddenly feels unbalanced and I HAVE to touch it with my other hand too.</p>
<p>I have a friend who has to go through the same door that she entered. So if we go into a building through one set of doors and we’re leaving and start to head through the closest set of doors to exit, then she’d be like “Omg no we can’t go through this one” and we’d have to cut across to maybe the furthest set of doors to leave.</p>
<p>To add to my list, people who expect me to be on messenger/facebook/skype constantly annoy me. Every time I see them it’s “Why aren’t you ever online?!” Why am I never online? Because I just saw you about two hours ago for most of the day and when I go online you get insulted when I don’t strike up a conversation with you… because we exhausted the conversations during the day and there’s nothing to talk about!!! And, well, sometimes I just don’t feel like talking to people.</p>
<p>I don’t like people who spit excessively while speaking.</p>
<p>What also ticks me off is people who talk for the world to hear on their cell phones (and also when you can hear the person on the other line)! If I’m standing across the room from you, I don’t need to hear you (as though screaming into my ear) saying what you’re gonna eat tonight or what scandalous picture you saw on facebook. Keep your info to yourself.</p>
<p>I hope I don’t insult anyone here but overly-religious people who try to force their views on me really really annoy me. I’ve heard more religious arguments than I needed to, now give me a break!</p>
<p>Can’t stand people who think they know it all… when they really don’t.</p>
<p>You of ef:</p>
<p>Amen to the first one.</p>
<p>Oh aaaand…girls that comment on each others facebook pictures saying how “pretty” they are no matter how catastrophically unattractive they may actually be.</p>
<p>you<em>of</em>eh that was a great post !!!</p>
<p>You of ef gets the award.</p>
<h1>1 not-so-weird pet peeve: Smokers, especially those that can’t adhere to non-smoking signs! They all know the risks, yet they do it anyways. Ridiculous.</h1>
<p>New one for today: people who can’t speak in a normal tone. There’s this woman at my internship, she’s either whispering - three inches from my face and way too in my personal space; I have a five foot sphere, stay out of it - barely audibly, or screaming like a banchee. She usually does the screaming at the worst times. </p>
<p>Two weeks ago, I was having some trouser problems and while I’m trying to get my falling pants under control, she yells – in the middle of the crazy crowded corner of Wall St and Broad – “Sierra, your pants are falling down! Pick them up!”</p>
<p>Seriously, that would have been a great whisper-time.</p>
<p>I guess another thing I do that could irritate people, as done above, is that the point of my stories sometimes go off in a long barely related tangent…usually about Spongebob. This usually leaves people with a “***?” look on their face.</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Hair on a bar of soap. </p></li>
<li><p>People who constantly click their clicky pens during class.</p></li>
<li><p>Religious people who try to convert you.</p></li>
<li><p>Windshield wipers that are on at full speed when it’s barely drizzling.</p></li>
<li><p>People who feel the need to be 6 inches away from your face when they talk to you. The further away you move, the closer they get.</p></li>
</ul>
