Things That Annoy
I'm tired and I feel like complaining, so here are some things that annoy me:
1) T.V. shows that just stop. Two shows from last season that ended on huge cliffhangers and whose return I've been awaiting have been cancelled with no more new episodes (Invasion & Surface). Next thing you know, Lost will be unceremoniously ended without any resolution.
2) People who don't understand how to use the turn lane. It's there for you to get into PRIOR to needing to turn to keep you from screwing with the rest of traffic. Don't slow down in the fast lane and then just cut across the turn lane when you get to where you need to turn.
3) People who pull out in front of you (especially when it's clear for miles behind you) and then either a) suddenly need to go slow after just achieving warp speed to pull in front of you or 2) go 15 feet, slam on their brakes and turn.
4) People who tailgate. This is especially annoying when you're already going 20 miles over the speed limit. Also very annoying when the car in front of you is holding you up and you can't get around them either. Guess what? Getting on my tail and flashing your lights isn't going to make the guy in front of me go any faster.
5) The person, who when you're talking, always has a better story than the one you're telling. No matter what you've done or experienced, they always have a story where their experience is better/worse/whatever. You can never share anything that they don't have to achieve one upsmanship.
6) People who think that they're better than you.
7) The cable going out in the middle of your favorite show or right as something important is about to be revealed.
8) Insomnia.
9) Discovering that there is no chocolate in the house (okay this is more tragedy than annoyance).
10) Close talkers. Sorry, but I need a certain amount of personal space. This is really annoying when it's someone you either don't know or don't know well....especially in business because it's even harder to tell them to get the (bleep) out of your space.
Okay--I'm sure that there are tons more things that annoy me, but I'm more tired than cranky now, so I'm going to bed.

Hi Hope
6) People who think that they're better than you.
We must be psychically connected. Last night on myspace.com I "ran into" a girl from highschool who was nice until she blossomed to be better than everyone else. I emailed her a hello, lets just say from her response she hasn't changed...
Take Care

5 and 6.. I feel the same!
10- I have a colleague who talks about 2 inches away from my face and when I move back a bit, she thinks it's because she has bad breath. She doesn't get that it's my personal space she is violating!
I can so relate!
One of my BIGGEST peeves are people who pull out in front of me in traffic and go real slow totally throw me into a fit of road rage!
I get so mad, even my kids get scared..hahaaa!!!
I moved my blog,Hope.
You can find me here :)
It's your blog, so you can.
2, 3, 4) Sometimes I'm glad I don't drive.
5) I work with one of these. No matter what, he has done it longer, better, higher, etc., etc, etc.
He kept butting into a conversation I was having with another co-worker, 'topping' what ever I said... she just ignored him and only responded to what I said.
8) yeah, I get it periodically.
10) I don't mind the close talkers, so long as they don't smell bad. Then again, if they get too close, I've been known to give them a little elbow-push away.
#5... Have you been talking to my cousin??? lol
I've had to stop talking to her for a while, b/c the conversation is almost PAINFUL!! Who doesn't realize that their are other people on the earth?? The conversation might go something like this:
ME; Hey girl, I've had an awful day today!!! I fell and broke my leg!!
HER: What? How'd you do that?
ME: Well I tripped...
HER (cutting me off): That sux. I broke my nails today - 4 of them and then I wss so hungry I thought I was going to starve... blah,blah, blah...
So annoying!
I am on baord with all of those. And if they cut off Lost that way, you would see me on the news holding some ABC executive hostage.
Dagoth: I take it the anonymous posting has to do with the new beta? #6 is one of the reasons I won't be going to my reunion this year.
Missy: Bad breath only makes it worse!
Spidey: I can suffer from the most terrible road rage that I've had people make lots of promises to God if they can get out of my car alive!
Blackcrag: Thanks! It seems like the things that annoy me also annoy others (must be universal)!
Ms. Behavin': Nope--haven't spoken to your cousin (at least I don't think it was her!).
Liz: I hope it won't come to that, but I'll start saving some bail money just in case!
