Annoying...

People who end all their sentences with exclamation points, often multiple. (Are they THAT excited to be on the internet? Hungry for attention? Sheesh.) 🙄

When I call my doctor's office or the pharmacy. They have automated answering. The tapes start off with " if this is an emergency call....." then they list in great detail the full address and telephone number, the hours, they are open and on what days, Then "dial 1 for MDs, dial 2 for insurance, dial 3.........." By the time it gets to "dial 8 for appointments" I wanna rip the phone out of the wall, even if it is a cell phone. Old habits are hard to break.
 
@Ruthanne

You should contact your state and county Dept of Aging. There are excellent low-cost transportation services available for errands, etc.
(I thought you recently posted that your car was repaired and that your car insurance is on autopay) 🤔

The phone rings. I hear "Please hold for an important call." Ummmm, no, I won't.

Or, I've called a business and I'm on hold. Repeatedly, I hear, "Please hold. Your call is extremely important to us." Ummmm, no, obviously it's not.

My flight is delayed. I can see that there's no plane at the gate. The gate agent announces, "We'll be boarding in a few minutes." Ummmm, no, we won't.

I'm sitting in a small cold room, dressed in a paper towel, without a magazine to read. The nurse says, "The doctor will be right with you." No, he won't.

The nurse is holding a huge hypodermic needle. She says, "Now, this might sting a little." No, it's not going to sting......no more than a hurricane is going to puff.
 
My annoyances are similar to all already listed. What amazes me is this. If all this annoys us, don't the people that do it get annoyed as well ?

As such, why does it continue ?
 
Gossip. And worse are those who choose to join in mindlessly based on hearsay.
Then they form cliques and the bullying begins. And they think it's fun and funny.
But God is watching and He doesn't think it's funny at all.

When I call medical offices around here, I get-
"If this is a true emergency, hang up and call 911"
Whaddaya mean a TRUE emergency? No, it's a fake one, you moron!
 
I understand RR..but I've heard so many stories of the emergency services being called for the most ridiculous things.. someone recently called 999 because the local Chinese takeaway was closed and they wanted the emergency services to get them a take-out!!

That's a different issue than annoyance. I've heard stories, too, but here in US people can and have been prosecuted for misusing 911.

A pesky housefly this time or year
They are a bit sluggish, just peppy enough to be quick enough to barely escape a swat
....then land right back at the very same spot on yer face
It's like they are saying 'Hey, guys, watch this. I'm gonna make that lummox smack himself in the face.... several times.'

Example: When watching TV my husband asks if I know who someone mentioned is and I say yes. Then he proceeds to tell me who they are.
