These things are guaranteed to annoy the s&%# out of me. Like irrational rage level of annoyed.
People at work who don’t identify themselves by name:
me: Hey this is Barb Knowles, is so-and-so there?
other person: No, can I tell them you called?
me: Sure, who am I speaking with?
other person: Why do you want to know?
me: Because now I want to punch you in your rude face.
Okay that was #1.
Now #2. Two lanes are converging and the right lane has to merge left. There is always that one person who refuses to let you in. 99% of the time, I adjust my speed and it’s no big deal. But that 1%……
#3 In the classroom I ask a question. A hand flies up immediately.
“Yes?”
“Can I go to the bathroom?” Every teacher gets annoyed by this. When I’m in a really, really good mood I just sigh and say yes. But then again,
“How old are you?”
“16”
“Then you obviously can go to the bathroom but you may not.”
“Wait, what?”
#4 Passive-Aggressive behavior. Always. Every time. Without fail.
#1-4 Annoyed me so much I can’t write #5.

I totally agree.

I will this morning. Or if I don’t have time before work, I will tonight. I’d appreciate, as well, your reading the article that appears as the #1 in my list on the right side of my home page of top posts. “September 12, 1918, the day my family changed forever.” That’s the article for which I won the Freshly Pressed award. 😃

Ha, I’m definitely with you on #2 and #4. And #5 made me laugh out loud. There are so many things other drivers do that annoy me, I could make an entire list just of that!

I’m glad you enjoyed it! Today I thought a driver would side swipe me as he was entering my lane. I was so annoyed. It reminded me of things that annoy me and hence this post!

Drivers talking on their phones, slow drivers in the passing lane, drivers forgetting to turn their blinkers off–oh, so many irritants out there.

Must have been near sideswipped Tuesday as a stupid woman almost hit me on a round about. Did she not see my indicator telling her im coming that way as she was away to enter round about. NO thought she would try chance her luck cos she is running late to drop kids off at school.
Well that will teach her to be more careful and leave home a bit earlier. My heart was certainly in my mouth and a few swear words too……..

I sooooo understand that. It’s not that we get mad because they are being good drivers, lol. I have to disclose as well, that there have certainly been times where I haven’t seen someone in my blind spot and they have had to swerve. I’ve been horrified. But I think that’s way different than someone who doesn’t care and is reckless.

I’m not a driver so I never suffer from#2, and I’m usually too shy to ask someone’s name, so #1 doesn’t do it for me, either, and now you have me wondering if #3 elicits pools of pee… but then I worry in case I’m falling into category #4….

Haha. No, “going to the bathroom” means “I’m bored and I’m meeting my friend to gossip, put on hair gel and make-up.” We have to let them go to the bathroom, but will call home and send them to the nurse if it’s too frequent.but I let them think about the can vs may for a few minutes. They’re on to me now.

As for #1, I think if you are in a professional workplace and your colleague has identified themselves by name, it is rude not to say who you are, and especially rude to ask why do you want to know. Just my opinion. These are people I know. Not just a random voice on the phone. Ok I’ll stop now lol.
