People who don't close my door when they leave my room. I had that [censored] door closed for a reason.

People who don't close my door when they leave my room. I had that [censored] door closed for a reason.

Used to get the "too important to close doors" attitude a lot on the morning train in the middle of winter; even with the heating on, being sat in the station for 10-15 minutes prior to departure with the doors open was plenty of time for it to get quite chilly. Especially annoying were the sort of people who would get on, leave the doors open, complain how cold it was and instead of closing the doors (because pressing a button is obviously such a chore), they'd walk down to the other end of the carriage where it was still warm. :facepalm:

Cell phones. It drives me nuts that people have such a sense of self-importance that they can't disconnect themselves from their little networks long enough too pay attention to what's actually happening around them.

I'm sure there are some people who are that important.

As for pet peeves, one of my biggest would have to be those "funny" Facebook pages. You know, like "Hipster Mordecai" and "Satan" and other pages like that. They think they're so funny posting 3-times-recycled pictures from Reddit and posting pictures of dead kids and child porm, and say "hohehe i m liek so funy. gooby pls.". They're always popping up onto my feed. :banghead:

I despise hypocrites.

When someone leaves the power switch on for a plug even when theres NOTHING IN IT.

When others in my house can't do SIMPLE F-ING TASKS because they're [censored] lazy. Example: dropping the towel on the floor in the bathroom when there's a towel rack RIGHT NEXT TO THEM!

My brother doesn't wash his hands after using the toilet, like, at all. It's digusting and then I feel as if i can't touch anything when i think about it.

When people leave the top off on bottles of juice.

I don't think pondering the cosmic nature of ponies counts as philosophizing.

You have obviously never philosophized about ponies before. It's enlightening.

The sales people at various places I worked had a reputation for this, you know, the ones who spend all day shaking people's hands. The techies on the other hand tended to be quite fastidious, with few exceptions. Sometimes when I was washing my hands I'd see someone leave a cubicle and head straight for the door; I developed a habit of going and washing my hands if I had any sort of contact with them or their computer.

I think it svcks more for their contacts who didn't realise what scruffy urchins they were!

I'm going to be more cautious from now on with door-to-door salesman, or those annoying people in the street that walk up to you and try to sell you something (actually I'll add that to my list)

Oh yeah, that reminds me, chuggers: because it's "for a good cause", they think they can be as persistent and aggressive as they want. Apparently most chuggers are paid by commission and seldom have any genuine interest in the charity they're collecting for (or so I'm led to believe) which is apparently why they tend to be so obnoxious.

When people do two different but similar things

1) Say a blatant lie to make themselves sound good but include you in the lie, if they are both friends it is awkward, go along with it? Or say 'when did this imaginary thing happen?'

2) When people misremember events. At least to my memory- so who knows maybe it is just me . For example when people say 'we've know each other for 5 years' and I know from my memory that that is completely not true and it would be closer to say 2 years. Not sure if people trick themselves to think what they want to think or not but this often seems to happen with me and I find it a little annoying.

Incopetent idiots who ask you to stop by for a job interview only to not be present at all. Ah, and they never even called to notify me of their absense. Is that a company I would even bother trying to work for?

:meh:

No further elaboration needed. :wink:

I wouldn't be friends with someone who would do that anyway. :tongue:

But definitely the latter. It would be hilarious to see them crash and burn on the spot.

When you get a haircut, and it's obvious you did, and people ask you "did you get a haircut?"

"No. I've decorated my scalp with a kettle. What the [censored] does it look like?"

I hate when people walk up to you in the street for some organisation and they say "Hey, how are you today!" when really they mean "Hey, give me your money!".

People scratching their fingernails on anything, people clicking their fingernails, people that don't have a good work ethic ( I usually stay away from them because I will end up yelling at them...).

It's their pants...

People on Facebook who have yet to get the new timeline. I am so accustomed to it, and it's perfectly fine.... It just irritates me.

Another pet peeve that I have is when I see designer jeans that are intentionally faded and torn. I prefer to buy brand new jeans and let them fade and tear to their own accord.
