Little things that annoy you

[JS19]

Actually, annoy probably isnt the right word, but i cant think of anything else. This happened to me just before when i was out, and its time to get it off my chest.

I cant stand the whole holding the door open for someone deal. If i'm walking in a store, or school, or anywhere, and i walk through the door and i see you are behind me, i really dont wanna wait there to hold the door. Now if you are right behind me and its gonna be a bang bang play, then sure, no problem. But when you are a solid 5-10 seconds behind me, i really dont wanna wait there and hold the door open, its not that difficult of a thing to do. Of course I would be "that guy" though who didnt hold it open. And it goes the other way too. I dont want you holding the door for me and make me feel like i gotta rush to the door bc you are being kind enough to hold it open. Once again, if i dont rush im "that guy" whos taking his sweet ass time. I think i can manage on my own.

Anyone else have some completley useless thing like this that gets on your nerves? Now is your time to let everyone know about it.

[cthomer5000]

I work in a very large office building, and there there a multiple banks of 8 elevators going to different floor ranges

[ ... ]

I will not get on an elevator unless I personally saw it open. Why? Because I hate the move that I call the "Indiana Jones" where someone will stick their hand in a closing door to get it to re-open, having no idea how long the person(s) inside have been waiting. When you get on an elevator and then have this happen 3 times in a row, you can sit on the ground floor for a good minute while jackass after jackass Indiana Jones the elevator door so that they dont have to wait the 15 seconds (MAXIMUM!) for the next of 8 elevators to come.

My wife's singing in the car

[RPI-Fan]

Driving in the car... pulling out of a non-traffic-signal road (gas station, etc.), waiting to turn left. Another car is looking to turn left INTO the gas station. Car waiting to turn left waves me out in front of them.

I hate this for a couple of reasons:

1) By the time they decide to wave, and I figure out what they're doing, no time has been saved anyways.
2) It's extremely dangerous for me. Much more so than if they just turned into the lot and I had a clear view into traffic.
3) It's stupid for them because if I'm involved in an accident anywhere near that intersection they're partially or (more likely) wholly legally responsible.

Also, hate 4-way stops, not when people simply don't know the rules (I can live with that), but when they think that stopping as the 2nd or 3rd car in line (i.e. they're literally behind another car who is stopped at the sign) entitles them to ignore the stop sign.

I don't like it when I hold the door open for someone and they don't say thankyou.

Ditto, ungrateful bastards.

[Groundhog]

My peeve is people who don't flush after using the office toilets. What kind of home do these people come from?

I've been told by a few people what my most annoying habit is - humming the bass lines to songs rather than the main melodies. My ex used to hate it when I said to her, "Hey what's that song that goes *insert humming of bassline that is completely generic and impossible to decipher unless you already know exactly what song I'm humming*".

[M GO BLUE!!!]

When you're talking to your ex gf, and she mentions that she just got back on the pill and she has a 4th date with a guy coming up...

[Mustang]

Snapping Gum.

Hey.. Violet Beauregarde.. I do NOT need to here you chomping and snapping on your gum like some kinda friggin cow.

If I could go back in time and kill someone, it wouldn't be Hitler. It would be the asshat that invented gum.

Asshole..

[sabotai]

I second the snapping gum. I hate that, especially in the movie theater.

[AZSpeechCoach]

My wife's singing in the car

Dammit Pumpy! Stop dating my wife!

[TroyF]

I understand a gripe is personal and each person has their own. . . but I just can't see complaining about simple courtecy in the world we live in.

When I look at some of the ridiculously poor customer service I receive on almost a daily basis, the last thing I'm going to be worried about is holding the door open for someone and having to wait for 30 seconds.

Again, I'm not bashing you. To each their own and I can understand why some people might hate it. I just wish we could get rid of rudeness before we start to attack people attempting to be nice.

[Chief Rum]

My wife's snoring. And her singing in the car.

I don't like your wife's snoring either.

[thesloppy]

You're walking in the opposite direction of some random person at your place of work, wherever they may be, as you approach you shake off your own duldrums for an instant, smile, greet them in some mild manner, and they just....keep.....on....walking.

Oddly this seems to usually happen to me with some stern, LARGE ladies, decked out in Dress Barn's finest. Anytime anybody outside of the deli counter acknowledges your ass, you should be soaking that shit UP Margaret, not making like Deafy McGriddlebutt. Drives me batty.

[M GO BLUE!!!]

At least she doesn't sing in my car.

Anytime someone acknowledges you anywhere, you should return the smile and the hello. That's right along the same line that I'm talking about. Unbelievable rudeness.

[Groundhog]

It's really embarassing when this happens in public, and you like, smile, say Hi, and they ignore you. It's makes you feel like an ass when you were just being friendly.

[Poli]

Most of my pet peeves are inherently Navy related, and deal with proper wear of the uniform.

Hands in pockets, especially by senior personnel. The same senior personnel that will get on to junior personnel for...hands in pockets.

Improper wear of headgear, unsat haircuts, and unauthorized wear of earrings. Wearing sunglasses on top of your head while in uniform.

Walking to the the head/latrine/bathroom in half a uniform and without a cover/hat. The same goes for sitting in a smoking area like this.

Speaking of, smoking in front of a sign that says "no smoking".

Not shaving.

Senior personnel that expect juniors to refer to them by their rank, but call their junior personnel only by their last name.

Marines, who wait in line everywhere all day, because they have nothing better to do. Get a job, Marine!

Play action passes on first and 10 from the Florida 39.

Being in Africa.

[sabotai]

Speaking of, smoking in front of a sign that says "no smoking".

No, it says "Thank you for not smoking". As I am smoking I don't expect to be thanked.


(Never saw the movie, but the trailer was on a VHS tape that I watched a billion times.)

[JediKooter]

People who wait UNTIL they are on the freeway to start going freeway speeds. That's why there is an on ramp, so you can get as close as you can to the freeway speeds by the time you get on the damn thing. Assholes doing 30 on the ramp and expect to seamlessly merge into traffic that's going 70 mph have some serious driving problems.

[Mustang]

Few more to add....

Otherwise healthy/unburdened people that take the elevator down ONE floor.

Chewing with one's mouth open

Having someone ask what you are eating and then making comments about how it looks or how they wouldn't eat it or why are you eating it.

Standing in a checkout line that is long, they open a cash register and announce 'may I help the next person in line' and the last person in line makes a mad dash to the newly opened register. Did you ever think to maybe wait for the other people that have been in line longer to move over to the register?

[Eaglesfan27]

Patients who show up 28 minutes late for a 30 minute appointment and expect me to see them and become mad when I won't. :mad:

Couldn't agree with you more! A few days ago, I passed someone on the on ramp to a major highway where the speed limit is 65. They were going 35 on the ramp with a short merge area. As I sped passed them, they honked the horn at me, what the F for?!?!?!

People who smack their mouth or chew with their mouth wide open.

People who seem to gulp very loud when drinking.

Things that annoy me are most related to driving, but as I have been commuting by metro, that list seems to grow:

1. People who don't shower on a crowded metro
2. The weirdo's that walk/weave through each metro car as if trying to find "The perfect seat".
3. In addition to #2, the weirdo's that if they get stuck in a metro car while weaving in and out, when it stops at the next stop, they get off of the current car and begin weaving again until the perfect seat is found. Just sit the F down!
4. Seemingly empty metro car with tons of empty seats and some jackass sits right next to me. I kind of relate this to the guy who pees right next to you when there are tons of empty urinals.
5. People who get in phone conversations at the loudest decibel on the metro in an enclosed car. Can it not wait three minutes til you get off at the next stop?
6. Metro Car riders with tons of luggage who keep it in the aisle during rush hour so no one can get by them.
7. Riders who sit in the aisle in the seats, instead of the inside, to make sure no one sits with them.
8. The homeless who somehow get on the metro with their cart full of stuff/garbage. How do they afford the metro and how do they get those shopping carts through the gates?

My experiences are on the DC Metro system, but I am sure they apply to most major city metro systems.

[Pumpy Tudors]

I think what annoys me most about AZSpeechCoach's wife -- err, I mean my wife's singing in the car is that she messes up so many of the words. I've got to admit that it's really cute when she starts dancing to her own singing, but I wish I could just tune out the incorrect words. I don't correct her because I don't want to look like an ass, but it gets to me.

So, yeah, AZSpeechCoach, make her stop!

[Ksyrup]

About door-holding in general, what I don't like is the awkward situation that arises when either you don't know if you should hold a door for someone who seems too far away but who might be offended if you continue on and ignore them, or someone holds a door for you but you think you're too far away, so you feel the need to jog to catch up to the person so they aren't standing there all day.

The same thing happens on the road when someone tries to be nice by waving you into traffic when you're either trying to get across a number of lanes or would just prefer to wait for traffic to clear, but I feel much more comfortable giving them the "thanks but no thanks" sign than I do when the door-holding situation arises.

[Butter]

I get pissed when my wife messes up the words to a song, then gets pissed at me when I correct her.

Look, I don't care if you sing, but at least sing the right fuckin' words.

[duckman]

People who wear flip-flops all the damn time especially the knuckleheads who wear them in the crappiest weather possible. Also, guys who wear flip-flops with freaking jeans. Do they not realize how stupid they look? Or that damn slapping sound they make when the idiots are walking around the campus. Basically, flip-flops annoy me.

[Icy]

The fu**ing guy who has smoked into the elevator just before i get into it, specially when there is a signal of non smoking allowed. Once i notice it, the elevator doors are already closed so i need to hold my breath until i reach the floor where i'm going. I really hate it.

[panerd]

The "funny" people who make jokes and start off topic conversations at staff meetings and drag the hour long meeting I already don't want to be at into a one and half or two hour meeting. Get some friends outside of work!

I really can't stand when another man holds the door for me and insists I go in first. F*ck you buddy...just go inside; I'm not a chick.

[albionmoonlight]

What an appropriate thread.

Mrs. A just called to let me know that she watched the season premiere of The Office this morning (which we could not watch last night because we were busy) and then accidently deleted it off our TiVo.

That's horrible!! She better hide!

[molson]

This is probably only me, but I hate it when someone asks me how I liked the movie the second I leave the theater, when you're in that group of people heading for the exit. I don't know why, but this drives me crazy.

[molson]

This theme is common in elevators, highways, and public transportation - people that feel that their 30 seconds is more valuable that 10 other people's combined 30 seconds.

Cable or DirecTiVo? Cause Cable Tivo now (dunno about DirecTiVO) has the "recently deleted" folder where you can undelete things.

4. Seemingly empty metro car with tons of empty seats and some jackass sits right next to me. I kind of relate this to the guy who pees right next to you when there are tons of empty urinals.

Yeah, i used to hate it when that shit would happen on the bus. One day on a somewhat crowded bus, Jabba the Hutt in the flesh decided he had to sit next to me, and I was splashed against the side of the bus. I'm thinking, "ok asshole, you just bypassed 10 rows of seats with small people in them to sit next to the guy who's 6'4" and about 270."

[stevew]

I hate it when old people come up and start talking to my daughter. You can ask her what her name is 100 times, but she's still going to give you that "leave me the fuck alone" look.

[Warhammer]

People that are rude.

[Warhammer]

One more, people who nitpick and take comments out of context.

[stevew]

Oh, yeah, I hate to have people read aloud to me. Last time I checked, I can read myself. I'll read it after you're done with it.

I see where you are coming from, but I think you may be looking a bit too much in to it. I am not so much complaining about it or hate it, it's more like when it happens i am thinking to myself "now really, whats the point to this, i'm wasting my time and also making you look like an idiot by having to jog to the door that you can easily open yourself". I always felt it would be something you see on Seinfeld, "So whats the deal with holding the dorr for people?"

I was going to debate the point with you, then I saw where you're from ;)...

But seriously.. it's simple. It's the courteous thing to do. This country would be a much better place if more people understood common courteous things like this and not only did them, but enjoyed them and looked to do more things like this.

It's part of why I like this town I live in so much, for the most part, people undertand this.

[WSUCougar]

About 90% of the behavior of about 90% of the cell phone users.

[Critch]

I hate when somebody almost walks into me because they arent looking where they are going. I say "excuse me" because I'm polite and they carry on walking without saying anything, thereby letting me take the blame for them being too pigshit stupid to bother watching where they are going.

And for the DC Metro grumble, I hate tourists who are too stupid to work out how to use the system so they block up the gates. They always seem to be wearing sweatshirts for midwestern college football teams, and decide traveling during the peak commuting hours is a good idea. Yes, you need one ticket each, no $5 for unlimited travel doesn't mean for the whole family, now F off back to Oklahoma, fatty.

A third complaint is groups of bored stay at home moms who take their little brats into restaurants at lunchtime. If you're home all day anyway, try waddling to the trough when real working people aren't on their lunchbreak. We don't want to listen to your hellspawn "fuss".

I actually agree 100%. It is courteous, and I do it all the time. I do all the courteous type things, I let people get over when they are trying to switch lanes, i will hold the elevator door when it's about to close and i see some making a mad dash foor the door, etc. I just feel holding the door should be abolished from the "corteous thing to do" list.

I've had to pass people like that countless times getting on the freeway.

With your number 4, I hate it when I go out of my way to park in the middle of nowhere at the store so no one parks next to me and when I come out of the store, not only is someone parked right next to me, they can't even get their damned car between the lines.

I also hate the ass munches that stop and check for traffic when they are turning right and they have the green arrow to turn right!!! Pay attention people.

[M GO BLUE!!!]

Women who look at you like you're the world's biggest pervert for looking at her because she decided to wear an outfit that shows every curve of her body and a great deal of skin with a low-cut top that shows you the entire inner side of her delicious breasts including the bottom. She decides to look like a Maxim center fold, but you can't look???

I notice a ton of people walking out of bathrooms or hallways with their head turned in the farthest possible direction from the direction they're walking. What the hell are these people thinking?

And ya, excessive door holding has to stop. It's not "Courteous", it costs everyone time. It's something people do so that they can look courteous, and feel good about themselves, rather than helping anyone else.

[WSUCougar]

People that attempt to use the self-service checkouts at the grocery store when they don't have a frikkin' clue how to do so. I'm not talking about punching the wrong button or little mistakes like that. I'm referring to the same ones who treated an ATM like it was Hal9000 back in the day.

[JS19]

I also hate the ass munches that stop and check for traffic when they are turning right and they have the green arrow to turn right!!! Pay attention people.

When I have the green arrow, I dont come to a complete stop, but i do slow down to make sure nobody is coming. Also, when im at a stop sign and looking to make a left turn, and another car is coming down the road (the road i wanna turn on) with his blinker on looking to turn on my road, i wait for him to make that turn before I go. I dont trust anyone on the road, never know whos about to blow through that red light or who forgot to turn signals off.

Speaking of ATMs I'll add to it the people that

A. take forever at the drive up ATM...making deposits, filling out slips ect.

B. when they are done just sit there arranging their wallets or writing stuff down. Pull out fuckers and do that where you aren't blocking the ATM.

[WSUCougar]

Neighbors that run their obnoxiusly loud leaf blowers for like an hour and a half straight. Sometimes after dark. I mean, WTF?

I hate people who go to restaurants during the hour when everyone eats lunch (not just working folks) and expect exlcusive use and complete silence.

Suddenly, the fact that Samdari is actually a bored, stay at home mom became perfectly clear.

[Izulde]

I hate professors who spend an entire lecture period of an upper division course going over plagiarism, grammar, and paper-writing, etc.

Then top it off by saying "And if anyone includes Wikipedia as a source, I'll shred their paper and fail them."

[Critch]

I hate people who go to restaurants during the hour when everyone eats lunch (not just working folks) and expect exlcusive use and complete silence.

I expect neither exclusive use nor complete silence. What I do expect is people in busy, self service restaurants to stop chatting long enough to keep their brats in control rather than let them play and run between the tables bumping into people carrying trays (wednesday lunchtime), and not carry on chatting and completely ignore their kids when they shout and throw their cutlery on the floor in a fairly "nice" restaurant (thursday lunchtime).

[gottimd]

Hate people that when in a restaurant line or long line where the menu is either right in front of you or the menu is something you can read and decide what you want while you wait in line....these god damn people wait until they get up to the register to start deciding what they want to eat! Why didn't they decide that while they were standing in line for 20 minutes!:mad:

Or women who look at your like you're the world's biggest pervert for looking at her chest, when she has a shirt that has something written on it! What is the point of the writing, if not to read it, dumbass?

Let me also add that it annoys me to go into a restuarant and have kids running up and down the aisles while their parents pretend that the kids don't exist.

[stevew]

I hate it when you are waiting to get through a line, and the person in front of you waits until their order is all bagged and totaled before they even move towards getting money out of their purse. Then spends 2 minutes digging through their purse for where they put their dollars and change.

[FrogMan]

in a very general sense, kids who don't behave and their parents not doing anything, or parents yelling at their kids when said kids don't behave. I mean, there are acceptable ways of speaking to your child...

FM

[stevew]

I hate it when the behavior is such that I actually have to acknowledge the existence someone else's kids in a restaurant. If they are making enough noise/ruckus for me to notice, then chances are there is a breach in the parental contract there.

[spleen1015]

The aisle between the cubes here at work aren't big enough for 2 people to walk down. So, when you have people going opposite directions, someone needs to step aside and I am always the one to step aside.

Being 6'3, 260 means I will kill you if I run over your ass! What happens if I'm not the one to step aside at the last second?


Squish.

[Mustang]

I'm referring to the same ones who treated an ATM like it was Hal9000 back in the day.

Those people still exist.

As for the self serve, I'm not sure why people that have a cart full of groceries go to the self serve line. They sure as hell aren't doing it faster than the lines are moving. I only use the self serve when I have like 3 or 4 items. Anything more than that and I know that machine is going to lock down and wait for the cashier to trot over because of a misread weight or waiting for them to confirm my age or something stupid...

in that same line of thought, people who come to pay and the amount it like $5.69 and instead of handing over $6 or even $10, start digging out change to pay the even amount...

It also annoys me when my parents come over to our house and they crank up the volume of the TV to 10 or 12 while we usually have it at 5...

I hate professors who spend an entire lecture period of an upper division course going over plagiarism, grammar, and paper-writing, etc.

Then top it off by saying "And if anyone includes Wikipedia as a source, I'll shred their paper and fail them."

Not sure what's so bad about that??

[RPI-Fan]

in that same line of thought, people who come to pay and the amount it like $5.69 and instead of handing over $6 or even $10, start digging out change to pay the even amount...

It also annoys me when my parents come over to our house and they crank up the volume of the TV to 10 or 12 while we usually have it at 5...

FMs

Being one of these people, have to take exception to this (the first one... I totally agree on the TV thing). I love to pay with even change than to get change back. I feel like I've waited patiently (and don't care what the people in front of me do) to get to the register... when I'm there I can proceed at my leisure (within reason).

Put simply, I can't stand my friends wife. I didn't like her when they were dating, and I don't like her now. She's loud, rude, offensive, ignorant and really, really stupid. The title of this thread is "little" things that annoy you, well she's not very little, but she certainly fucking annoys me.

The problem is he brings her out EVERYWHERE with us, no matter what it is we're doing and I hate it, the moment I see her my time is ruined. Many a guys night has been destroyed by her presence.

And I'm not the only one of the group that doesn't like her, one guy hates her so much he refused to stand in their wedding because of it. :mad:

Working at a shoe store, I have a few pet peeves:

I hate when a customer says 'can I have this shoe in a size 12' and I tell them, 'all we got is a 10' and they say they want to try it on. There is a big ass difference between a size 12 and 10 and you are NOT going to fit in the 10 no matter how you try.

Plus, when grown men or women want me to measure their feet to see what size they wear. If you are over 18 you better know what size shoe you need.

In the past two weeks I have had 7 people come in the store and get $500 worth of shoes, and then have a credit card with a name that doesn't match their ID. No we do not accept stolen credit cards. Thank you, come again.

I hate when my neighbor mows his 2 acre lawn at 7:00 at nite, and he does this like 2 -3 times per week. wtf, and in hawaii it gets dark at 6.

I hate tourists. sorry. no offense. lol

I also hate people that say oh yea lets go drink some beers at your house, then show up and ask if you bought beer. never mentioning it before hand, or asking. heh.

I hate professors who spend an entire lecture going over the evils of plagarism and then give us a handout on "how to be a successful student" that is clearly plagarized from a journal that I've read without giving credit to the original source.

I think what annoys me most about AZSpeechCoach's wife -- err, I mean my wife's singing in the car is that she messes up so many of the words.

I don't correct her because I don't want to look like an ass, but it gets to me.

I used to work in a shoe store too. I didn't run a register so I can't comment on the last one.

But the first one doesn't annoy me at all. In fact, to me, it's much better than when people get all rude when their exact size isn't available . I'd rather have them try something than walk away.

I also have no problem measuring adults' feet. Sometimes it was irritating when they ignored what I told them, but I lived with it. I didn't like dealing with kids though because most of the time they were rude and misbehaved. One time a lady came in with 4 or so kids, and while she tried on some shoes they sat on the bench quietly and behaved perfectly. When she left I thanked her and her kids and told them they had been the best behaved, most polite kids I had dealt with in over a year working there.

People who wear flip-flops all the damn time especially the knuckleheads who wear them in the crappiest weather possible. Also, guys who wear flip-flops with freaking jeans. Do they not realize how stupid they look? Or that damn slapping sound they make when the idiots are walking around the campus. Basically, flip-flops annoy me.

Ok thats me guilty as charged. However I do live right on the beach in Florida so the weather is pretty much always good. Also I only own one pair of shoes and they are dress shoes for going out and not very comfortable.

The things that annoy me the most are other peoples kids in public places that cant behave for half a second. I swear I want to smac some sense into these brats like my parents would have in my day and I am only 28. Public spanking needs to make a serious comeback IMO.

Sorry ducky, that's me. I wear flip flops almost everywhere and it drives Antmeister crazy. I think the only time I wear tennis shoes is when I go walking with my son, or when I wear jeans.

How about people that wear flip flops WITH socks?! lol, talk about looking ridiculous :rolleyes:

dola,

One pet peeve that drives me insane is when chicks dye their hair bleach blonde and let their hair grow out and have like 2-3 inches of dark root showing. Shit, if you're gonna spend the time and money to dye your hair, touch up the roots or dye it back to it's natural color.

Another one is when people leave their shopping cart in the middle of the isle at a grocery store while they're taking their time looking for something. The isles are narrow enough as it is and leaving that cart in the middle is just plain rude.

HAH! I wear flip flops or sandals all the time, unless I'm at work. I think if I could get away with it at work, I'd do it there, too, but I have to go to the clean room almost everyday, so no open toe or open back shoes. There is a guy at work who wears Birks with either white socks or brown almost everyday. I have to really restratin from not laughing at him.

I'm with apoc, about the thing that annoys me, kids not knowing how to behave anymore/parents who won't discipline their kids because it's bad for morale or some shiat like that. If I behaved like most of the kids I see out at restaurants or the grocery stores, my parents would have grounded me until kingdom come and made me understand what good behavior is (and no, I was never spanked/hit as a kid. I'm not personally sure how I feel about it, but I think I turned out reasonably well without it, so when I have kids, I'll probably not spank them).

Yeah, the thing with the kids gets to me sometimes. Antmeister and I had dinner with our friends and their 4 year old at a restaurant and as we were getting ready to leave, the kid bolts out of his seat and starts running around the restaurant screaming.

Instead of feeling embarassed or annoyed I joked about it saying he reminded me of the kid from "The Shining"...

[Izulde]

Not sure what's so bad about that??

Two things that really annoy me about it:
1) This is an upper division class, which means juniors and seniors, maybe one or two sophomores. We've been through all this already, often at least two or three times. We don't need to waste an hour's worth of class that could've been spent learning something on rehashing this stuff.

2) The wikipedia thing bothers me because while there's always the anyone can edit thing that banners cite, the community at wikipedia is extremely conscious and aware of making sure the entries are accurate and are quick to flag anything that looks suspicious. It's an extremely valuable source that I've found particularly strong as a starting point for research for history papers. Furthermore, although I don't remember the exact source, I believe studies have been done that show Wikipedia to be much more accurate wrt academic subjects than standard encyclopedias.

This prof also bans the MLA format and insists on Chicago style, with full footnote citation, but that's not so much a pet peeve as an amusing sidenote, because being an English major, I'm all about the MLA. Much simpler and easier.

The problem with using wikipedia as a source is that wikipedia ISN'T a source. Wikipedia is derived from sources. Accuracy has nothing to do with that.

I've found some of the comments we have received at restaurants lately pretty annoying. Tony and I are sensitive to the fact that other diners don't want to hear our 14 month-old tune-up, so we usually start feeding her shortly after we get seated but before we eat. Lucy's happy as a clam, quiet, and content, and a lady came over and said how she was being spoiled.

Not huge, but a bit annoying when we are trying to keep Lucy from getting over-hungry, etc.

It's not like he had a great game at corner either. Dress Reid, and sit one of Cowher's greats you mention above. Or sit Colclough. McFadden as the nickel and your choice of Anthony Smith, Ty Carter or Chidi 'bang bang' Iwuoma as the dime.

I try not to be one of those conspiracy theorists, but...what was the excessive celebration call? All I saw was Haynes-Parker forearm bash. Was it because Haynes was involved, therefore became a "team" thing?
Because had that been a Chad Johnson pre-halftime halftime show, nothing would have happened. And nothing DID happen when Henry and CJ congratulated Houshmanzadeh in the endzone.

You're not allowed to have a "choreographed" celebration that involves teammates or props. As weak a celebration as that was, I'm assuming the ref. thought it was overly orchestrated.

I thought that was the rule, no "organized" celebration. And agree with your assesment of weak, which is why I don't think it was planned.

Haynes high-fiving Parker in the endzone is no different than Henry/CJ running over to Houshmanzadeh to congratulate him, is it?

I know it didn't win or lose the game, and they got plenty of other calls right (Mike Logan, I'm looking at you!), but apply it evenly of not at all.

ETA-- I just read, Haynes was not on the field when the TD was scored. Which makes sense, since they were in a 3 TE package that close to the goal line. He ran onto the field after the play ended. In which case, absolutely it's a flag. Verron Haynes bought himself some time in Cowher's doghouse with that play and the fumble later on.

Just to provide a counter-example, I just had foot surgery within the last year - before that, I had to wear custom shoes designed for my leg braces. I'm now wearing normal shoes - but that meant I had to get my feet measured because I hadn't worn a normal shoe size in over 10 years, plus the surgery probably changed my size as well.

I, am, however the exception to the rule. :)

"The Titans were 1 yard away from winning the super bowl".

After hearing this for the 10,000th time, this time on Bill Simmons chat, I felt the need to add this to the thread. Winning? Really? They were going to go for two? They were going to get it for sure?

Had Mike Jones not made the tackle, they would have tied the Super Bowl and had to deal with the high powered Rams offense in overtime. If the Rams win the coin flip the game is over.

[Towelhead]

Nothing much annoys me.

OK, except this abridged list:
* Using "drug" as the past tense of "drag."
Example: He done drug that dead cat out of that there hole.
Not an example: When he was 24, he was a better Drug Queen, cuz he won Miss Gay America." hmm. drug queen may be appropriate, after all, but I digress

* Not spelling "definitely" correctly.
Examples: defiantly, definetly, deafintently, definterly, and definintly

* pluralizing words by adding an apostrophe
Examples I've seen in PUBLIC: Menu's, Bathroom's, car's, vacation's

one more

*Interchanging "your" and "you're"
Example: Your not going to believe this, but that ho went down on you're paw.

heh.

[Towelhead]

ok. I thought of a few more things.

* When you're a dude and someone--out of the blue--asks you if you're gay JUST BECAUSE you're on a date with another guy.

* When you sleep on an air mattress because your bed was destroyed and you wake up to find it's deflated but you can't get up because your ass is touching the floor while the rest of you is bent in a U shape. Oh, and then your roommate says, "Dude. If you had a piece of toilet paper stuck on your ass, you'd look like a fortune cookie."

*When your kid is toilet training and he has a MASSIVE poop that takes you a roll of toilet paper plus a pack of baby wipes to clean up.

* When you have to go to the toilet REALLY bad at a BK during an evacuation and you see that the guy who used the john before you had the SHRAPNEL SHITS.

1. When getting on an elevator, wait for those getting off to actually get off. I hate absolutely hate when the doors open and somebody is jumping into you to get their spot while you're trying to get out.

2. I know the "I'll call you back" has been covered, but I find it annoying when that's the first thing out of someones mouth on the phone. "Hello, Can I call you back, I can't talk." Then why answer? That's why voicemail was invented.

3. Standing in a line at the grocery store that is clearly NOT the express lane. Numerous times, some goob will come up behind me and say, "I only have a couple of things." First off, have the balls to say you want to cut the line instead of implying that I should offer. At that point I'll be more than happy to point out why they have express lanes.

Since I live in Southern California, where the sun always shines, I wear shorts, T Shirts, and flip flop/ sandals 365 days a year. The only time I wear long pants and shoes are when I go to funerals or weddings. Thank God that only happens three or four time a year. I fel sorry for anyone who has to put long pants,shoes or jacket on year around

[Butter]

Yeah, wearing pants is a real chore.

[mystyplk]

It's a lot easier to put sandals on, I don"t have to mess around with those shoelaces and worry about if my pants are too long.I also don't have to worry about those buttons that shirts have. I save a lot of time that I could use doing more constructive things like playing with my computer games.It helps me relax in my semi-retirement stage of life. By the way, It's 82 degrees out here today. Whats the weather like in Ohio? Also I have been a Cleveland Brown fan since 1957. I'm hurting !

I think it's like 6 right now, but it was -3 when I cranked up the car this morning.

Can't help you as a Browns fan, I'm a fan of the Tiger (Jail?) Stripes.

[mystyplk]

I don"t mind the Bengals at all. I still can"t believe the blown extra point. I can tell you that I hate the Pukesburgh Stoolers as I imagine you do. I think that the Bengals will be tough next year and I hope that the Browns are a hell of a lot better. but I'm not counting on it.

[korme]

Roomates that fuck around without a job and then on the day when rent is due, move out to go work at home, leaving the other roomies to pick up the 1/4 of rent that is now uncovered. Sour grapes talking.

ALTHOUGH I HEAR HE AINT THAT LITTLE!!!!

[Izulde]

A few more things to add to the list:

Girls at parties and/or bars who spend all their time talking to other girls or a few specific "hot guys".

People who blare music so loudly that you can hear them on the third floor of the house when they're in the basement.

Drunk chicks prone to screaming at random things.

Universities still holding class when every other school around has closed for the day.

[st.cronin]

People who look like Eli Manning.

Not so much annoying but something I don't get.

The other day at work, they announced that a staff member gave birth to a baby girl. Every woman in the place goes "Awwwwwww". What's up with that? I didn't see one guy say that - at least I hope not.

But in the next moment, they say that the child was named 'Lily'. Again the chorus of "Awwwwwww" rains down. Is it a woman reflex action or what?

[dickysty]

Lazy people bother the hell out of me!

Examples - Having to have the closest parking spot, backing up traffic behind them and waiting 10 minutes for the space to be available. While just 5 parking spaces behind them are hide open.

Last I heard walking is pretty damn good for you!

People that park their cars on the service road to take back movies, Dry cleaning etc. Park the damn car!

Walk you bastards!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this at Baby Showers in the office.......it's like a switch, every gift opened is followed by....awwwwwww.

Another guy and I tried an experiment once.....Instead of awwwing we clapped furiously with every gift that was opened or....sure enough everyon joined in......even when she cut the first slice of Cake to pass out we clapped, sure enough a few others followed, almost Lemming like. We finally couldn't help laughing and everyone finally caught on.......Again this isn't annoying at all, but pretty funny how people just follow suit because someone else does it.

d-bags with cute girls annoy me.

thankfully, there is this website to ease or at least centralize my pain.

I haven't read through this entire thread yet, but I want to throw in those wheely shoes that kids seem to wear to every public place nowadays. Those things just piss me off.

[FrogMan]

here's one I just remember: idiots at the grocery store who park their cart in the middle of the aisle and keep on looking and looking and looking for something on the shelf. YOU ARE BLOCKING THE WHOLE AISLE!!!

Yes!!! And their counterparts, the assholes who are blocking a whole entire store aisle while having one of those "friendly conversations." I've seen dickheads bottleneck green world at Target like this.

[stevew]

Those hoop "flesh tunnell" earring things that make your ear look like they have a big guage hole in it. It's like the white kid's version of the corn row.

[DougWyatt]

People that use others opinions as their own (especially in sports). IE .. talking about how great a high school recruit is going to be; when they've never seen the kid play live or on TV.

[gottimd]

people who pronounce the wh in words like hw...

Also, when the word Human is pronounced "you-man" and huge is pronounced "you-ge".
