Redundancy in questions. My wife does it constantly and it annoys the crap out of me. "do you want to go to the store or no?" First of all it should be "or not" which is just as annoying but it is fine with just "do you want to go to the store?" Another is "do you know where my shoes are at?" the question is over after the word "are".
 
That little satin/silky edging on blankets. I don't like to touch it, especially if the skin on my hands is dry and catches on it. Same with snowmobile suits. The sound of a kid in a snowmobile suit walking with that stuff rubbing together just drives me bananas. Gives me a shiver and makes the hair on my arms stand up. Just thinking about it does the same. No idea why.

What about all the germs? People spit on sidewalks, dogs pee on sidewalks, people puke on floors, etc. I'm by no means a germaphobe, but I do think about these things.

Worst stories regarding bare feet:

Once at a Wal-Mart in Oklahoma, I saw a young woman wearing her pajamas go into the store barefoot. The bottom of her feet were literally black.

Another time, I stopped at a highway rest area bathroom and was extremely grossed out by it. The floor was all wet with **** EVERYWHERE (I think one of the urinals was clogged up). I did my whole business on the tip of my shoes. I get back to the car, and see this mom and 2 kids going to the restrooms barefoot. I told my wife I needed to see this. Sure enough, they went in there, were in there a while, and came out as if nothing happened. I almost threw up.

We used to travel a lot at our old job. One time, a big group of us went to Vegas for a convention. One of the girls had never been before - mid-20s, fairly naive, sort of liked attention from the guys. We were going to head to Fremont Street, and she showed up for the trip wearing heels. I offered the advice that she may want to change into tennis shoes or something more comfortable, because everything was a lot further away than it looked in Vegas. She declined, whatevs.

So, we get to Fremont St., and she is hobbling around. Finally she just takes her shoes off and starts walking around barefoot. We walk next to a homeless guy, and she walks right by him... oblivious to the fact that she just walked barefoot through a stream of his urine that was stretching across the sidewalk. So. Effing. Gross.
 
Driving 1 or 2 mph below the speed limit on a two-lane road. I'm looking at you, Buicks.
 
When people display multiple years' worth of license plate tags at one time.

No one, especially the officer, care that you have paid your taxes for more than one year. And it clearly states to put it on top of the old one (or remove the old one) and put it in the left corner.

Looks like Bingo. I find myself driving more defensively around them because I figure if they cannot figure that out, there may not be a safe driver.

And then speeding up in the "safe" areas to pass. I used to commute btw Ames & Huxley on Hwy69. There are only TWO good passing zones (and they're not all that long). If you were the third or fourth car in line, you might as well just sit back & enjoy the snail's pace, because you are not going to get the opportunity to pass the putz at the front of the chain.
 
This thread pretty much explains way no one at CF has this as their avatar.

Also explains why I avoid the opt in forums so I can maintain a relative calm state. :smile:
 
Agree with ImjustKCClone. I'm annoyed when people don't know what the left lane is used for on the interstate. Do they still teach that in drivers ed?

Not a fan of people that agree to make plans with you and then bail without telling you.

People that you call or text and don't answer, but are posting stuff on fb, but then answer an hour later.

Those that tailgate you trying to push you harder into the car in front of you, when you can't go any faster.

The tags all over the license plate that has been mentioned numerous times is a biggie.

Those who chew with their mouth open, with crunchy stuff or slurp everything.
 
Priuses doing speed limit passing in fast lane on interstates.
Long stoplights.
No aisle help left in WalMart.
Homeless people collecting coin and then driving home to their suburban home.
Birds pooping on my lawn chairs.
Long Hok recruiting threads.
Snow in April.
CW not taking enough vacations.
 
I tend to park at the back of parking lots because A) I don't care about finding the closest spot and B) I try to avoid door dings. You better believe there are a hundred spaces open, but somebody will be parked in the next spot to me when I come out of the store.

At least she talks to you.
 
2 big things for me. Tags on clothing. It's 2015. Can we not print our information on the inside of the article of clothing instead of having a tag that itches, pokes, and is all around uncomfortable in every way. Yes I will buy things simply because they're tagless. Also, Firefighter was right that blankets tags should be by the feet. Always.

Also, people that have a million notifications on their phone. All the red notification bubbles will be gone on my iPhone before I go to sleep. Even if that means just opening and closing programs. I hate using my phone too, so most of this is envy of people who have the ability to let notifications go.

Did not realize you were a woman. There must be more on here than I thought.
 
Deja vu. I know I've mentioned this...

People who drive around in a convertible with the top down, both door windows down, but the rear windows up. These people need to be removed from the gene pool if they are unable to comprehend how stupid that looks.

More that have already been mentioned...

Agree with knuckle cracking.

And people who eat with their mouths open so we get to see all that slop inside their mouths as they chew. I don't want to look but I can't look away and it invariably causes me to lose my appetite.

Too, Two, To. There, Their, They're. Learn your language; it's really not all that difficult and you lose all credibility with me when you show you don't know the difference.

Glad you realize these things are annoying and not ironic.
