What Irks you the most?

Being misunderstood, or judged, especially if it's done without confronting me first.:mad: I mean what gives someone the right to think they know what your intentions are/were without asking you.

I agree! So many judge and don't try to understand; I've dealt with that all my life, too. No one knows our intentions but some seem to think they do and that's a problem.
 
It irks me when someone calls and just leaves a message "I'll call you back later." Why can't they say why they called so I'll know whether I want to call them back or wait for them to call me again? There is a big difference between "I want to know if you are home so I can drop off 2 dozen fresh baked cookies for you." and "Can you watch my cat while I'm on vacation for a couple weeks?"
 
People who lick their fingers to turn the pages of a book or magazine. I suppose if it is your personal property, go for it. But really, did you just wash your hands? Should you be licking your fingers in public?!? Yuk! NO! You my NOT borrow my magazine!

I said this thread was cathartic.:happy:
 
I use an eraser. Got into the habit when I did billing at the phone company and had to quickly flip through stacks of bills. This of course was before microfiche and WAY before they used computer databases.
 
People who won't listen and won't let you finish what you're "wanting " to say for talking. For example, I have family members that when you're trying to tell them something, before you even get started good, they are assuming you're meaning something completely the opposite and starts telling you how to do something that even a child would know and it has nothing to do with what I'm trying to say. That irritate me worse than anything and it is when I come back with, "I know that! I'm not stupid!!!!" When I first came back with this, I felt bad afterwards, but then I thought, "maybe they need to hear how they're coming across." If they would just listen and wait for me or anyone to finish what we're saying, their comments would not be necessary and really, they would see they don't apply.
 
People with a chip on their shoulder who are always pushing their agenda. Tiresome.

Also can't stand braggarts, whiners, selfishness, or "humble-bragging."
