What 3 most irritating things that really bug you

1) The telephone receiver flex all twisted up.
2) People throwing litter in the street or from a car whether stationery or moving.
3) Car drivers in traffic jams blocking you in the side road from turning out to go opposite direction to them.

1) Politics.

2) The cashier in the grocery store looking at my 50 cans of cat food on the conveyor and asking "Do you have a cat?"
(I usually say "No, but this stuff is great on toast. You should try it!")

3) The first few cars at a traffic light just sitting there when the light turns green, and then finally moving at about 3 miles an hour.

1. Sales people talking to colleagues when serving

2. People who are always late for appointments, and pass it off with a cursory sorry

3. People who love the sound of their own voices and share their own self importance in restaurants to the rest of the diners

I have a story to tell concerning #2.

#1 and #3 are everyday occurrences!

While coming to a stop at a stop sign, I witnessed a fellow toss a McDoogle's wrapper out of his car window.

I put my truck into park, right in the middle of the street, got out and picked up the wrapper and tossed it back into his car onto the passenger side floorboard.

You should have seen his expression!

Three things...

#1 My wife telling me what to write in a post while looking over my shoulder reading what I'm writing.

#2 My wife reading, over my shoulder, what I'm reading.

#3 My wife.

#3 My kids!

#3 Any one who says, in reply to my query, "Whatever," or "perhaps."

Me: Son, are you ready to go to lunch?
Son: Perhaps.
Me: Well, PERHAPS NOT, then : )

Oh yeah, and Martin's #3 reminds me...

(4) People who talk incessantly (and LOUD) on their cellphones in restaurants and other more intimate public places!

You have two of mine there Allan 1 & 3 I'm usually buying Dog food so I don't get any funny looks or questions :-) then again when I see the bill rung up at the end the jaw usually drops and the tongue is out at the shock, or is that when I have a good looking cashier

You have my number 2 there Scooby but down under its the right lane :-) and here is Sydney driving slow in the right lane seems to be trendy, I keep thinking I must buy a rather large Hummer people don't take any notice of small sports coups here :-(

Won't help, others will not become any less ignorant or selfish. Save the $$ for Rolex donations.

1. Life, liberty, persuit of happiness, have become suggestions.
2. Politics, although I can see the humor in the lies.
3. Drivers who won't get out of the way. I used to give a co-worker a ride home and he dubbed me "the wolf" from "Pulp Fiction" as I don't drive slow. Not dangerous, just efficient.

1) People talking on their cell phones when driving a car or waiting on you in a store!!!
2) Slow drivers in any lane let alone the left lane and talking on their cell phones!!!
3) Passing people on a multi use trail when they are listening to their MP3 players and are oblivious to everything around them!!!

1) people who ask questions they know the answer to.
2) all minivan drivers... I don't care if it was a Ferrari minivan, it seems once you jump behind the wheel of one inherit the IQ of a doorknob.
3) people that are yankee fans that have never even been to the state of new york

2. Messy and unorganized anything
3. Generally obnoxious people... the reason I don't work with the public.

When you have the need to sneeze press with your index finger against your the area between your nostrils and upper lip, the need to sneeze will go away, it works.

Funny ;)

1. People afraid to say what's on their mind for fear of not being 'PC'
2. Kids who didn't eat enough lead paint and are now allergic to nearly everything.
3. Parents who don't parent.

I could probably do about a million of these, those are just three that spring to mind.

1. In a plane, people start standing/opening their overhead lockers/running up to the front before the seatbelts lights are off. Can't they just be patient?
2. Queue jumpers.
3. Tourists speaking loudly in foreign languages, sometimes bagging things like "we got these and these back home blah blah". If you have everything back home, why are you here?

Most TRF members think a like

1) People who dont know how to behave in lines, resturants etc.

2) People who is breaking hard when you are right behind them just to get you away.

3) Wiseasses, haha correct me if it is the wrong word.
