    Just decided to let out my steam all at once about things that bug me daily. (or once in a while; enough for me to remember them) Top 10 (or 10 that I can think of right now)

    1. "Borrowing paper": "Sure, if you're going to erase it and return it to me!"
    2. Leg shakers: who, as a result, end up shaking everyone around them
    3. "Move to the back of the bus!": and yet some arrogant people who think that they're exempt (sp?) from this request just stand there whistling.
    4. People who rag about how they're so fat, stupid, skill-less, or about other people, etc ALL THE TIME. NONSTOP. ESPECIALLY when they're really not fat or stupid and have lots of talents. False modesty. blech.
    5. Those who think they're in charge but actually not. Yet, I can't do/say anything about it because that would be disrespecting my elders. Not the elderly. But those older than me.
    6. OR. Those actually in charge and when I try to edge in a comment or just say something about their judgments I'm shot down just because, of course, they know better.
    7. Those who think they are always right. And won't say sorry when they realize they're wrong.
    8. The-absolutely-rude-in-all-of-my-actions people: who don't say sorry when they hurt others.
    9. Graded papers with (what looks like) boogers on them: this isn't really an "I'm angry!" sort of pet peeve; it's more of a *shudder* "I wish I didn't see that" type

    ..and those that are more than just pet peeves; habits I absolutely abhor.
    10. Gossiping, backstabbing, lying, etc.

    Anything you'd like to share? Or any ways to remedy the situation?

    Can I get more than 10 just because I was nice today?

    1. People who cannot be punctual -- I DO believe that being punctual is a virtue.
    2. Passive aggressiveness
    3. People who cannot multitask
    4. People who have time management issues -- like, AT ALL. I mean, surely one can manage multiple deadlines without screwing up EVERY SINGLE ONE of them right?
    5. Navigationally challenged people who insist on reading the map (incorrectly)
    6. Rudeness in general, which includes and not limited to leg-shaking and sneezing without covering mouth...
    7. Bad design interface -- I ALWAYS blame the design if I, or anyone else, cannot use something properly by intuition.
    8. as CNB had said...
    9. One liner emails such as "thank you" with a half-page signature
    10. Conversation killers. Being talkative doesn't mean I like to have all the new topics (which I started) shot down by no-brainer comments such as "oh really?" A conversation takes more than 1 person to maintain...
     
  4. My top 9 annoyances is:

    1: People who are rude to their elders
    2. People who are disorderly, vandalism etc
    3. People who dont take life seriously and try to drag others down.
    4. people who chose not to help friends because they just cant be bothered..
    5. People who use profanity. (i can take it to a point, but not to much.. :// )
    6. People who are fake in whatever they portray themselves to be.
    7. People who gossip -dead
    8. People who bully others and think its cool.
    9. People who decide to kill me slowly by smoking close enough to me for me to smell it.

    Another type of conversation killers - people who are too secretive or mysterious... a "good question" comment when asked something...
    hmm, how then is the conversation supposed to go anywhere at all? -lol

    Oh hell yeah, Ignorance is definitely top on my list!

    MissCheekS Reconnaîssant ❤

    for now what bugs me:

    1. People who think and talk like they are all that and look down on others
    2. People with no sense of humour...will it kill ya to loosen up?
    3. People who are unreasonable
    4. Two faced ppl
    5. People who are inconsiderate towards others
    6. People who show off with money that arent theirs (rich ass kids who never worked but run around proudly with their lv's)

    thats it for now

    - parents who tell their kids to "shut up" or "stop crying" loudly in public without actually comforting the child
    - badly disciplined children
    - people who mumble and expect that you heard them
    - people who want to be in control of everything
    - people who are dirty and, even when hinted and told many times to clean up, still don't quite get the message

    haha. for some reason when i think of ignorance i think of more instances where i laugh about it rather than get annoyed. although, yes, ignorance is at the top of my list when it boils down to serious issues that people just don't understand. besides that i always laugh at people who get what they deserve because of their ignorance. it's quite funny. and i'm not mean but hey, if you don't want to get laughed at then brush up on your knowledge.

    As for my grrrrs:

    *people who are disrespectful to their family/parents
    *people who knock into you as they're walking past and just look at you
    *people who aren't proud of their heritage and culture, but are 'ashamed' of being asian
    *people who talk on their cells on public transport 'REALLY LOUDLY'
    *lying by omission

    and people that cough/sneeze without covering their noses and mouth!!!!!!!!!
    omg - today i went to the doctors, had to wait in the waiting room, and there was this mainland chinese woman(35ish?) playing games on her phone. she kept coughing and clearing her throat really loudly and didn't bother covering. i finally couldn't take it anymore and said "Can you please cover your mouth when you cough?" she pretended she didn't hear so i said it really loudly again so other people were even looking at me. guess what she said?

    "i didn't wear a scarf today." and went back to her games and coughed more.

    errrrr.... WTF?????

    i got up and walked to the other side of the room to wait......

    Didn’t we already have a thread like this? Anyway…

    Dirty restrooms
    People who talk with their mouths full or chew with it open
    People who wear excess smelling perfume/cologne
    Girls that respond with one word answers
    Friends that talk $hit about other friends behind their backs
    People who look attractive from the back but then aren't from the front; it's misleading.
    People who try to correct my essays and know sh!t about what they’re doing so I'd have to redo the thing after they'd cocked it up.
    The Chinese girl who asked me out after lecturing me on how evil Japanese people are, WTF?
    People who interrupt me when I'm working on something important.
    Hiake not showing me her pic.
