What irritates you?

@Hooked
Definitely your best thread to date. After that fight with juice bottle I thought we were in for some very interesting reads.

Sent from the abyss
 
1. My kids bickering... Can't they just loooove each other???
2. Battling to open my skyline... Aaarrrrggghhh!
3. Tank needing a re-wick but I don't have my kit with me... Blegh!
4. Cars speeding past you in the outside lane and then pushing in just before the turn... Is your time really more valuable than everyone else's that's been waiting patiently in the right queue???
5. Arrogant people... whatever...
6. Getting woken up by someone or something while fast asleep... just let me be... i neeeeed my 8 hours!!
7. When something that's been working for 30 years already breaks... I mean really?? You've been working so well so long... why break now???
8. There, their, they're... get it right!
 
@Slick What a "coincidence"! And I agree with you about miscommunication. It would appear that the meaning gets lost somewhere between the message which was sent and that which was received - in spite of both sender and receiver supposedly speaking the same language!
 
1. The circle-jerk self-importance of academics and academia as a whole.
2. People who say they are free-thinkers and then attack you for not wanting to drop acid and talk about the psychedelic multi-verse while having an orgy in the bush.
3. People's myopic tunnel vision on what makes a life successful.
4. People who believe in and practice esoterica but continually make poor life choices anyways.
5. Communism.
7. People who are "cat people" or "dog people"- you would lynch me from a tree if I said I only like one type of person.
8. Stupid words like "sapiosexual" and arm-chair psychology self-help crap like personality types.

I get irritated by anyone who thinks they have got it all "figured out", most of it is just padding to keep us from the cold fact that we're trying to provide evidence of our own existence - also traffic I guess.

I too dislike traffic :D
 
  1. True believers.
  2. People who reject something they know nothing about and refuse to investigate.

Andre the statement in your signature as well as listed now "True believers", surely does my head in (since 2014), kindly define your understanding of same?

I'm taking a stab in the not so dark here but I assume he is making reference to fanatics that follow blindly without proof or evidence and expect everyone to believe what they believe without question and if you don't then well you get the idea...

TO DR he is referring to fanatics imho.
 
Do what my brother does. He says, "I'd love to hear what you have to say. Could you just hold for a sec?" Of course they say they will. Then he puts the phone down, without ending the call! :-D :devil:

I do the same, except i say go on and put the phone down without ending call.
There has been times where a min or two has passed and i can still hear blabering going on :-D

Sorry for the late response @johan, was out of circulation for a bit. @Christos's interpretation is as good as any.
 
I'm bumping this thread because there are another two things that irritate me no end.

1. You Tube Reviews/Tutorials etc: I hate people who waffle and most of the introductions on the video are lengthy and unnecessary. Get to the point. In general, I hate people who waffle. If I ask you how you are, it's not necessary to tell me what your grandmother has for breakfast!

2. Photos that haven't been cropped, like the one in the latest 'name the billet box' thread.
