Things People Do Or Say That Ticks You Off

I think that we all have seen things that other people do or say that we dislike. I thought that we could list some. I'll begin.

I like women as much as the next guy, but when you got some guy going around talking like he's God's gift to women annoys me a lot. Always talking about how good he is in bed and how all the ladies dig him. It's so obvious that he isn't getting any, but still goes on like he's some legendary porn star. That really sticks in my craw.

I find when I tell people what annoys me, they tend to go out of their way to do that. :D
 
What ticks me off is people that throw their take away rubbish like empty cans packets and leftovers of take away food on our front garden, as they drive past our house at night we do try to keep our garden nice, but it's other people that think its the local dumping place, also people that litter beaches when there is a bin not far from from them, ticks me off.
 

What ticks me off is when i am in a store or a club and a person approaches me and says " Are ya right" that really ticks me off, obviously they haven't been trained in customer service, or if i enter a store and the sales person doesn't even acknowledge me, i won't purchase from that store.

Yeah. I'm with you on that one Jillaroo. It's like we're not worthy of their attention.
 
Cell phone abuse will probably remain my main complaint forever, but those who cannot speak without using "like" every other word drive me bonkers! I thought it would die out, but there are way too many who seem unable to speak without using it every 2nd or 3rd word. My opinion of them drops lower than grossly immature each time they say it. And the Kardashian girls are the WORST!!!!
 
..... and another over-used word these days is "absolutely". It seems that when-ever celebrities, politicians, famous people etc. are talking on TV or radio, and being interviewed, they always answer a question with that word "absolutely" which is becoming a bit tiresome for my ears.

Whilst I'm on a roll.... I'll add a few more.
"Essentially" is also over-used and another one which has surfaced recently is "so".
I've noticed on my local ABC radio station, when they are talking to a spokesperson from the weather bureau for the latest updates, the weatherman/lady has a bad habit of preceeding most of their comments withe the word "so".

example: "So... we may see a few millimetres of rain in the southern part of the state" or "So... the hot spell will continue" or "So... windy days are ahead"
 
My barber.....every time I visit him he always says, "how do you want your ears? In your lap!!!!

Also newscasters and weather people who say, "wind is blowing 20 miles an hour" It's MPH people....miles per hour.

still early, need more coffee and I'll be fine.....:coffee:
 
Whoever said the overuse of the word "amazing" spot on!

Not every little Ho hum thing is AMAZING*

*Something that is so wonderful, it is hard to find the words to match. Something that makes your heart beat faster or your heart melt. Something that tops everything else, and always crosses your mind."

I'm sorry but the potato salad that Doris in Accounting made for the annual pot-luck is not AMAZING. If this is all it takes to AMAZE you, then I feel sorry for you!

There are "amazing" things that you sometimes see, but every single thing as described that way is not, NOT EVEN CLOSE. I agree, it is so overused, but for some reason I don't hear it as much as I do "like" every other word. Between the two of them tho, they are irritating as can be. I kept thinking "like" would go away as a passing fad, but not so. I'm convinced a lot of people would be unable to communicate without throwing it in there a doz or more times per conversation. And it's never people with any level of maturity. always the younger ones.

Amazing.
 
"My bad!" ... I always want to say, "Your bad what?" and keep hearing on t.v., people saying "you want to go with?". Of course, I want to say "go with .. who? you? him? her?".

Okay, so I'm having one of those picky-picky days, lol.
 
We live in a traffic war zone. I have to laugh sometimes at people in the middle of road rage passing every car in line...to be first at a red light. Likewise when they pass on the right AND left sometimes simultaneously. One of the reasons I'm so tweaky teaching my son to drive around here. People break every rule in the drivers manual, you need to drive defensively.

I find 'my bad' really annoying as well. So does 'go with'. There is a huge supermarket chain here that has as its slogan 'every little helps'. :rolleyes:
 
I know it drives me crazy I said 'my bad' just last week I think. Sorry my bad :p Sometimes whipper-snappers wear off on me. Yeah any trendy catch phrase gets way over used & then becomes tiresome. Just think though 'my bad ' was probably originally 'Mea Culpa'
 
The overuse and misuse of the word "literally" annoys me no end.

Another thing that annoys me is people throwing garbage out their car windows. Do they think it just goes away?
 
I really can't say the one that drives me nuts because someone here says it A LOT. It would seem like I was insulting them, so I'll keep it to myself.
 
It doesn't so much tick me off as it does annoy me, but hearing a young person who can't string five words together without one of them being the word "like". As in "So I was like upset, and she said like, "I totally, like agree with you". "He is like a total moron", and I was like "of course he is". It's like I just don't get it, but you, like get it. You know?"

Commuting home one evening on the train I overheard a conversation such as this, from a young woman in her mid-20s talking on her cell phone and just had to shake my head.
 
People who are boastful turn me off, especially when I know they are making it up or flat out lying.
