    (I have no idea where to put this, please move as necessary!)

    -"She/he(child) gets it from grandma/pa/aunt/uncle/cousin."
    --I don't remember having sexual relations with any of THEM.
    Gene pool. Two people, traits from both mother and father who got traits from their mother and father, so on, so forth. Getting a trait from paternal grandparent=getting it from it's father.
    It insults me, for some illogical(maybe?) reason.

    - The saying that grandparents have the right to spoil or set the rules when parents aren't around.
    -- No. You want visit-time with my kids, you WILL respect my wishes and guidelines.

    I'm sure I have more, but these top my list.

    What annoys YOU? Let's hear them!!!

    When people call my child "their" boy. Um, nope he's not yours. You can say "my nephew" or "my grandson" but he is not your boy.

    Oh, I HATE that, @123. It infuriates me.

    I also hate when people blame their kids bad behavior on other children. My BIL does that, ans it's usually directed to a child their kid only sees like 2 times a year.

    Oh! And on the same note, when obscure family friends refer to my kids as their grandkids.
    One lady who was my brother's xf's mother (who is still a friend of the family), i personally don't like her, tried doing that... I kind of asked her what medication she was on and then left. Crazy old bat.

    Oh the list of things that annoy me...it goes on and on.
    The first thing that comes to mind is DH's driving. I'm a 5-over the speed limit kind of person, and he's a 5-10 under kind of guy. Makes me want to punch him and yell "Pull the fuck over and let me drive, grandma!"

    I won't trouble you with the rest...but I get annoyed pretty easily. :)

    -put your fucking trash in the can!!! Don't put it on the counter, next to it.
    -dirty laundry in hamper! If I find any more socks. I will start tying them together to strangle you with!!!

    @AKimiB & @123 The things you two mentioned annoy me. Other things are people trying to tell me how to live my life, sloppy eating, a crying drunk, nosy people, hubby telling me how to drive, being lied to, people not having respect enough to put the phone down when talking to me or someone else for that matter. Oh my, there's more I'm sure but my brain is in shut down mode at the moment.  :)

    When the neighbor kids come to my door 4 times in an hour to see if my son can play, then have their mom text me. If I sar he is sleeping, good god, leave us the hell alone. Yeah, this happened last night. My son just got back from a trip to Alaska with his dad and is,so jet lagged, he can't see straight. They do this kind of stuff all the time.

    What annoys me the most lately is my mother and grandmother seem to think all of a sudden that I don't know how to parent my children. .they're 11 and 8 ffs and I've managed to keep them alive this long!

    And its not just random comments either, everytime I talk to either of them all I hear us how I'm doing this wrong or I should do it this way....really ladies, I might not be so offended but trust be when I tell you their parenting skills were far from perfect...but that's a book I could write...lol

    I'd have to say many, many things but right now I think the height of my annoyance is people who don't text or e-mail back when you know darn well they've seen such or if you're in the middle of a text or chat convo and they just end the convo without so much of a 'gotta go'. Just disappears.

    So fucking RUDE!

    I'm a big nickname user.  I have little pet names for everyone.  I HATE when MY pet names are used by someone else.  That's my cutesy name! GET YOUR FUCKING OWN!  My BFF is a habitual rule breaker of this and I have (yes I'm that much of a bitch) discussed this with her.   Yet she continues to do it.  AHGH! I could rip her throat out. 
    Second thing that really irks me, trash can full but everyone tries to add more to it.  So much so its flowing out of the trash can.  WTFH?  its full.  Take out the full bag and replace ....why is this rocket science to all the male penises in my house?  UGH!!!!

    @stars *hides* I'm guilty of NEVER taking the trash out. I HATE taking it out for some reason. I have no logical reason why. The outside trash can is like...30 (max) steps away... and it's not a big deal but I just don't do it! My poor room mate does it all the time.

    @stars my DSD15 has *3* jobs in our house

    (1) make sure the dishes done/kitchen tidy before i get home (I leave at 6am, get home at 4pm, not a hard task in the summer when she does sweet fuk all daily)

    (2) make sure our dogger doesn't piss/shit in the house (aka take her out 3x/day)

    (3) TAKE OUT THE DAMNED GARBAGE BEFORE I SNAP

    *that's actually the rule - you can let it pile up all you want, but if I snap it's game over, no warning LoL

     

    For me, I have OCD, there's shit going on in my head that makes normal things into little annoyances constantly. Things like when ppl walk in my store (they walk past my deli cooler to get to my counter, my instore fresh deli sandwiches are in that corner), come to my counter and ask "do ya'll sell sandwiches here?" REALLY? OPEN YOUR FUCKING EYES!!!! LoL

    - Dirty dishes left on the table - Put them in the dishwasher! How do you get up from the table and not realize that you are leaving dirty dishes sitting there???

    - Kids with snotty noses. GROSS!  Wipe the snot off your kid's nose already!!!! (and I'm NOT talking about the little drip here and there, but the big, thick mucous running down the face that's been there for god only knows how long)

    - When people drop things on the floor and don't bother to pick them up. Are you kidding me???  Don't leave that there!!!

    - People who insist on driving in the fast lane even though they aren't passing anyone. 

    I could go on, but I'll stop. :)

    OH! Gotta add baby talk to the list. Baby talk drives me fucking crazy!  Especially the older the child gets or I even know adults that talk to other adults with baby talk!  It's a BLANKET, not a fucking Woobie.  If you call it a woobie to me again, I'm going to fucking hurt you!

    I hate repeating myself. Drives me bonkers. Not so much with my kid, but adults. Just fucking LISTEN!!!

    I hate eating sounds. They make me angry. Really they do. Fairly certain I have misophonia.

    I hate the word "fine". You look fine, it's fine, etc. DRIVES ME NUTS!!! It looks good OR bad, it is wrong OR right. Fine is bullshit. It means nothing to me and I don't want to hear it. All my family and close friends know about my "fine phobia". I've been this way since I was little. I would actually say "Does this look bad or good? Don't say fine!!"

    I might just be a bit of a snot... :-\"

    - when I try to peel a hard-boiled egg and the white part sticks to the shell and makes it look like crap. I have to eat them right away so nobody has to look at that ugly egg.

    - blue M&Ms. They clash with the rest of the M&M color scheme of warm colors and earth tones.

    - people who are going deaf and refuse to admit it and instead tell me that I speak too softly or mumble.

    - passive aggressive husbands who put their wives on the phone and then sit there and yell shit at her while she's trying to talk. You didn't want to be part of this conversation Mr. Dipshit, that's why you handed the phone to your wife, now shut up!

    - fake people parts such as colored contacts, silicone breast implants, collagen lip treatments, Botox, etc. It doesn't look natural and it's a waste of money. Be happy with yourself.

    - junk celebrities that nobody cares to hear about anymore, such as Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian, Ke$ha, Kanye West, Lindsay Lohan, Tom Cruise, Charlie Sheen, OctoMom, Carrot Top, etc.

    - self-adhesive bandages that stick too well and hurt to take off/leave a red mark.

    - people who drink a diet Coke with their 3400 calorie fast food meal.

    - people who are too lazy/stupid to acknowledge the red squiggly spell check line under a word and fix it before they send their message

    - people who use the wrong word, ie: they're/their, you're/your, lose/loose, sell/sale, sight/site etc.

    - people who drive down the road with their blinker on and never turn. I need CLOSURE!

    - people who pull out in front of you and force you to have to hit the brakes when there's nobody behind you for a quarter mile. Seriously, dumbass, you couldn't wait 23 more seconds to merge? Now we're both stopped at the same stoplight anyway. Asshole.

    - people who park their enormous SUVs right at the end of my driveway so that I don't have enough room to maneuver when backing out and can't see oncoming traffic

    - people who call my place of employment every day and have done so for several year and know (THEY KNOW!!) that I'm going to give them a confirmation number at the end of the call (as usual) and when I start to read the number of they act like they've been ambushed, "Oh!! Wait! Hang on! I don't have a pen!!" Seriously, you call here 3 times a day, 5 days a week, 52 weeks of the year for last 5 years and this still surprises you?? Fuckin' goldfish memory. I bet trying to find the bathroom every morning and remembering where you parked your car must be damn near impossible for you. I want to change our number to 1-800-GET-A-PEN.

    - people who pay for their food with food stamps and then pull $50 in cash out of their wallet to pay for their non-food items like a carton of Marlboro cigarettes and 2 cases of Schlitz. I just want to punch them in the throat.

    - when my mother makes nasty comments about how people who use dating services or dating websites to meet people must be pathetic and desperate for affection. My mom lost her virginity to my dad at 16, then married him almost immediately afterward and they've been together ever since. I'm happy for them that they are able to do what most of us can't (stay together for over 40 years)...but WTF does she know about feeling lonely and unloved? She latched on to the first dude that porked her, called it "love" and moved out of her parents' house and never looked back...that sounds desperate to me.

    - the tamper evident packaging on noxious shit like anti-freeze, Lime Away and Liquid Plumr...why is it there? So, I can drink it with confidence knowing that nobody slipped anything into it?

    - people who think dumping shit out of a box into a pan of boiling water, stirring it 3 times and then ignoring it for 8 minutes is "cooking".

    - people who cruise the parking lot looking for the closest available parking space and then spend $150/mo on a gym membership.

    - people who will wait 5-10 minutes for someone to load their car and back out of a parking space. It's a parking space, not the cure for cancer. You could have parked in that other space over there not even 20 feet away from this one and already been in the store by now. Territorial moron, be sure to pee on it before you go inside.

    - English people who call all Americans "yanks". Google the Mason-Dixon line. We're not all "yanks" any more than all English people are "lobsterbacks", "redcoats" or "limeys".

    - when someone belches and you can smell it. That's right, you sure cheated your asshole out of that one!

    - people who think it's acceptable to belch or fart loudly as long as they say "excuse me" afterward. Dude, you're only 1 step away from getting smacked, but I'm sure you'll think it's okay as long as I say "excuse me" afterward, right? Isn't that how that works?

    - skinny bitches who wear thin, tight, skimpy scraps of clothing and then bitch and complain about how they're always cold. Wear something that doesn't look like you painted it on and actually covers your tiny little B-cups that nobody is staring at anyway. Slut, you are not all that.

    - people who drop shit on the floor in a store and then just walk away and leave it there.

    - men who are way too ripped, fake baked and shave their legs, balls, arms and chests so that they look like injection molded plastic. That's just weird.

    - people who are so self-centered and paranoid that they think everyone is talking about them and it's all bad.

It's like they are having a fucking contest with themselves, can they cut me off on the crosswalk before I get too far across? How many inches away from my knee can they get before it's TOO close. I've taken to spitting on their windows, cause I'm a lady like that. Whatever, if they are within spitting distance they are too fucking close, and deserve that shit.

    Oh the things I could list...but I'll just list the ones that have no right to annoy me...

    1. When kids call people Aunt or Uncle when they are not, in fact, a sibling of said kid's parents.

    2. White cars.

    3. People who don't dress seasonably appropriate... Like, DO NOT put on tights with a sundress in the winter. I hate that shit.

    4. When I'm out for a walk and people have their curtains closed. Excuse me, I'm trying to snoop here!

    5. When people mash up the spelling of kid's names and make a pretty name into an ugly one. I'm not talking all unique spellings here, I'm talking about adding useless letters. For example - I know a kid named Ayvah. Ava is pretty, Ayvah looks stupid, in my not so humble opinion.

    I think I'll leave it at 5...

    1) people who keep texting me. wasn't i clear when i said "oh" to your last three texts? You'll be hurt if I say "i don't want to talk" so just TAKE A HINT

    2) my ADD room mate. God bless her heart. She's sweet as hell but .. one second playing the cello. then the piano. then on the computer. then vacuuming PART of the house. then cooking. then the cello. then going for a run. then a bike ride. omg. TAKE A VALIUM OR SOMETHING.  (She's very sweet. I love her already. but.. she wears me out watching her)

    3) My blood sugar being all over the place. knock this shit off. I've had enough of you today. and nothing has changed!!

    4) The GF not doing what she promised me she would. We'll never move in together if she doesn't get her shit together!

    5) the fact I am down to ONE bra. ONE! and it's not supportive at all. I have D boobs and they need some support!

    6) Down to 4 pairs of undies. My favorite pair got a hole in them. bastards.

    7) my last 4 pairs of undies? old lady undies. not sexy at all. at.all. with my saggy boobs who needs cute/sexy undies though?!

    8) having only two electrical outlets in my room! thank god I will get extension cords soon!

    9) we have the little league world series in my front yard (basically. it's down about 1/4 of a block) and omg so many people the announcer is so loud and ECHO ECHO ECHO...

    10) lastly? The fact that I STILL DON'T HAVE A MOTHER EFFING JOB! FOR PETES SAKE!

    THE WAY SOME PEOPLE FACEBOOK. Posting melancholy song lyrics as their status, all their photos being self taken and perhaps in front of the mirror. Over sharing. Or "3 months 1 week 2 days till my..." Wedding, due date, blah blah blah. And too much political/ religious bullshit! I have blocked many a cousin!
