What pisses you off? meme.

Things that make you go GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!

Things that send your blood pressure through the roof.

Is it whenever you are in a particular supermarket there are hundreds of people stacking shelves and no-one on the tills?

Is it the sucking noise that car mechanics do when you ask them for a quote?

People who don't wash their hands in the loo *coughmencough*?

People who don't use doggie bins?

Post it here. Get it off your chest. Shout scream and rage. from tellers to bureaucrats, suethors to traffic wardens.

The only rule is that you don't say I hate [livejournal name]. Celebs however are fair game.


People who don't know the width of their own cars
People who give way when it's THEIR right of way
People who use their headlights for a "go ahead" signal
People who don't have indicators on their cars (or so it SEEMS)
Lawyers
People who mistreat animals.

Telephone related:
- being hung up on (this is so rude! I see red when it happens.)
- Callers who, when given the options of 'May I take a message' or 'Would you like to call back later' elect to be put on hold. (Our office does not have an assigned person to answer calls, ALL employees regardless of what they are doing need to answer calls so if I am in the midst of coding something I do not want someone on 'hold' beeping me every two minutes!)

Traffic related:
- Drivers that bully or intimidate cyclists with their vehicle. (Especially the 'bump', trying to drive the cyclist into the gutter , or making a right hand turn IN FRONT of the cyclist immediately to your right! I nearly took someone's rear light out for that.) You are piloting enough metal to kill me! Be responsible and don't be a dick!

Public Transporation related:
- Teenaged girls who feel they can cut in the queue to be first on the bus. Sorry little missy, your perky tits and exposed flesh do NOT tickle my testosterone enough that I'm willing to let you on first so I can gawp at your ass.
- People who sit on the aisle seat of a two person seat leaving the window seat empty, just so nobody will sit next to them. This is closely related to the person who will sit by the window then place their bag on the aisle seat for the same reason. I am now old enough that I feel authoritative enough to ask people to move so everyone who needs a seat can have one. If it is a teenager I delight in trying to strike up a conversation just to watch them squirm.
- People who do not give up their seat, especially when they sit at the front of the bus, to the elderly, ladies with baby strollers, wheelchairs or other folk who look like they need a seat.
- People who speak loudly on their cell phones when taking public transporation.

People related:
- Chronic victimhood. Stop externalizing blame, dammit!
- Outright bragging, especially when it is barely warranted and everyone around the person is inching away, desperately trying to find an exit from the conversation.
- Treating waitstaff or other people whose jobs are to make your time enjoyable like they are beneath your contempt.
- My mother.

Thank you for the opportunity to vent in your journal.

Myself I often put my bag beside me because I'm not actually up to coping with having someone so close into my space. That said if the bus starts filling up I practically always then lift the bag and squidge over.
