What Irks you the most?

Is there anything that really gets to you? Really bothers you? Spill it here.

The weather irks me and has gotten to me! Can't wait for Spring! Sick of ice and ice-melt crap!:p
 

Sour milk, spilled milk, cold HARD butter, people who brag about everything, burned out light bulbs, dead batteries,

chronic complainers, show offs, my computer fighting with me, unwanted mail, itchy clothing, waiting for the warm water

to get warm, little lost things, and...and...and...folks who can't understand the difference between LOSE and LOOSE, and,

and people who go on and on and on ....and on....and on and won't shut up. (Did I just say that ?)
 
What irks me is when there are political commentators on a news show and when one of the commentators is presenting his serious opinion
on a topic and another commentator who has a different view keeps smiling while the other person is still talking. To me that
is so rude. Phyllis Schafly is the first person I ever noticed doing this kind of thing (way back when). That really, really irks me!

Hosts of news shows who spend 5 minutes asking a question, then proceed to answer the question (Here's what I think the answer is...), then when they finally let the interviewee get in a word, it's usually time for a commercial. Chris "Anyway" Matthews comes to mind, but there are several. It seems to be an illness a lot of folks get when they becomes hosts of such shows.
 
People who are completely immersed in their phone while crossing the street at a busy intersection. Or even worse, while they are driving.
 
Many have already been listed so I will add people who park their shopping cart in the middle of an aisle at a grocery store thus blocking the aisle for others to get through.
 
Most things that irk me occur around the house. Jars I can't open. Squeaky doors, trying to rearrange furniture that won't budge because it is to heavy for me. Short cords on appliances. Putting a piece of clothing in the washing machine that had a tissue in the pocket that I accidentally forgot to remove. When the hubby eats the leftovers for lunch that was meant for another meal. Finding a rotten potato or onion in the bag. Forgetting my coupons or shopping list when I go to the store.

People who are judgmental and call people names or label them.

People who don't try to understand others at ALL. In other words insensitive people.

People who hurt animals.

I have worked with the public for over 45 years and pay little attention to the attitudes and "doings " of others. I worry naught in life of what I cannot control , be it people or anything else.
 
People who don't text me back, after I text them within the first minute of receiving their text. What happens in that damn minute? Are they abducted by aliens precisely at the time they hit that first "Send?" Here, I'm not referring to leisure texts among buddies. I do a lot of my business with text messages.
 
Most of the things already mentioned irk me also but a couple of others I’ve experienced recently is friends who don’t introduce you when you’re out with them and bump into people they know, you’re just left standing there while they chat, I’ve walked off before now.....also, people who don’t thank you for gifts, I left a birthday gift and card for a friend a week ago and I’m still waiting for a Thank you
 
People who only show up to gloat when you are having problems. The rest of the time they stay in the background.

Long waits in a supermarket check out line.

Actually long waits anytime.
