Random things that annoy me

When people on movies or TV have conversations with food in their mouth and it makes them talk like Sean Connery.

The way Sean Connery talks.

The Latisse commercials that show scraggly eyelashes growing. Disgusting.

Re: Random things that annoy me

  • I have a few random annoyances today.

    I hate when the kitchen cabinet doors are left open. It bothers me even if they're open for a reason like putting away dishes.

    I hate the squeeky baby talk voice that Khloe Kardashian uses. I guess she thinks it's cute.

    My MIL and her lack of planning. H and I are planners and we're trying to plan a trip to ATL for a weekend that includes a big family gtg. I can't even make a hotel reservation until I know what MIL's plans are since she's hitching a ride up with us. I was so irritated last night that I was crying.

    That's another one, I hate that I cry when I get mad/upset/irritated.

    GAWD, this is SO me too! And it only gets worse because I get frustrated/angry that I'm crying!

    DH leaves crap all over the house in random places, then when it piles up because I just can't keep up, say, "We need to get this house in shape." Argh!

  • Oh, yes, ITA about the baby talk. There's a peds assistant at Michael's doctor that talks like that normally, and I guess if you're going to put that voice on, that's the job to have, but it drives me INSANE. And she is the sweetest girl, so I hate to hate her, but damn.

    When I say something to a man and he doesn't feel the need to respond in any fashion, even an "ugh".

    I f*cking HATE this. I quit a job because of this one time. The managers would just ignore me. And when DH does it, I get so mad. I say "Did you hear me? How am I supposed to know if you heard me if you don't even acknowledge that I said anything?"

  • Seriously. We don't have to have an in depth conversation, and I don't think I've ever given any indication that I'm the kind of woman to talk your ear off if you acknowledge my presence, but at least nod or something so that I don't assume you've gone deaf and/or blind in the last 5 minutes.

    Bwahaha! I'm fairly positive that she talks like this outside of work. She was down on the FV side using her cell phone and her voice was the same :l She is one of our favorites, despite her voice.

  • I have an annoying voice and sometimes I baby talk like KKO. Hey, I'm a nanny, baby talk comes with the job. There are people I know for a fact don't like me because of my voice. It used to bother me, but now I don't really care it's not like I can change it. The thing that really annoys me about it though is when people "shhhhhhhhhhhhhh" me. I'm an effing adult, I know I have a little kid voice, but doesn't mean you're allowed to treat me like one a hole. It really makes me mad.

  • I am so annoyed when people have sports games on TV, but the TV on mute and music blaring.  I need to hear the sports commentary!

  • Another one, I scheduled a meeting with a company and reached out 3 times to try and confirm it with no response. You could at least let me know it's cancelled douchebag but I'm not going to just show up without confirmation.

  • When people sniffle. BLOW YOUR DARN NOSE. Your body wants it out. Take a hint. Or a sudafed. There's a girl at work who sniffle-sniffle-coughs. You wouldn't cough if you didn't sniffle and force your snot to drip down your throat, you grossface!

    I'm going to jump in on this one. Cris does this frequently & it annoys the ever-loving shiit out of me. He actually did it this weekend. He's driving & looking forward, I say something, staring at him, not even 2 feet from his face. He continues to stare forward with a blank look. I say "heelllllloooo?" & then he says,"Yeah...I heard you." WTF? Just a nod would have been fine.

    Drives me NUTS. I think you should put a box of stiff clinic tissues on her desk or chair.

    Agreed DH does this all the time. We were on vacation this weekend with my family and I noticed my dad does it too. When I called him out on it he acted like it was normal not to react to someone when they are talking to you.

    Not only does that annoy the shiit out of me, it makes me nauseous. DH will do this at night and I'll look at him and say "need a tissue?". He gets the point.

  • Mine is work related.  I can't stand it when people call the bank to ask a question about their account and don't have the number.  I know this sounds petty but I don't know you and I don't have your account number memorized.  Get online banking and shut up.

    I haven't called a bank in years, but when I did I never had my account number.  The only place it is is on checks which I never ever have on me.  Is it not as easy to use a SSN?

    I can totally relate to this from when I worked in our Contact Center. Members would also want me to look them up by name. We have over 3 million members, you're probably not the only John Smith, dude.

    Meh, it's really not that big of a deal. It's just one of those things that only annoys you if have to deal with dumb people that don't know where their money went.
