Successfully mowed lawn in old jeans and sneakers without fashion police gunning me down. Thought about hiding the shoes in bread bags but afraid they would catch in the mower.:smile:
 
I didn't read the whole thread so this may have been said, but the text message/voicemail icons on my phone. If it pops up, I need to check it to make it go away. I hate those things.
 
This is more of a courtesy than anything, but I hate when you are in a parking lot leaving a sports venue and someone doesn't take their turn.
 
Mine is something relatively new to me but here in FL, clearly the natives have an allergic reaction or something when it comes to bringing their cart to the cart corale. Wal-Mart is guaranteed to have about 40 carts just abandoned wherever its user was parked at. All I can think is, how hard is it to walk the extra 30 steps and put it away?!
 
So what else are you gonna do, when you're in the basement waiting out a tornado?

Sounds like someone has a story.

Pedestrians - get your damn noses out of your damn phones. Be aware of the traffic around you. Don't step off the curb assuming the car has brakes and it can use them. If they don't see you or can't stop in time, your right of way won't buy your way out of the hospital. And if cars are nice enough to stop and let you cross, CROSS! Don't meander across with your eyes glued to your phone. Be considerate.

Along these lines...pedestrians in parking lots! Please be aware that there are cars constantly driving around. Do not be walking four across. And speaking of parking lots, people who drive the wrong-way when there's angled parking. Oh, and the special flowers that think they can take up more than one parking spot, sometimes more than two.

Parking lots anger me.
 
Buy, Sell and trade websites where everybody is asking for things for free (and they usually have a sob story)

My favorite was a woman asking for gifts for her children then a week later asking for people to give her gift wrap to wrap the free gifts.

I am seeing a lot more "go fund me" things popping up on my facebook feed. I've been generous with a couple in the past. I can understand needing help with emergency medical expenses and the like, or kids' college fund/funeral expenses for a local cop, firefighter or soldier who falls in the line of duty, but really, but now it's starting to come around to people who want someone else to fund a new car that will cost more than my first house, or a family trip across the country to see an aging relative.

Like I told someone else that's called OCD not an annoyance. I do the same thing :twitcy:

I pay for reserved parking. I'm amazed how many students don't realize that - they think we get free parking for working here. Yeah...no. The spaces may not have our names on them, but fourteen of us pay for fourteen spaces in that lot. So I think it's understandable if I get crabby when seven or eight cars are "just parked in the reserved spaces for five minutes while the drivers run into the building", don't you?
 
When a group of people walks 3 or 4 wide on campus. Or, when people are walking and texting and almost walk into me.

True story - I watched a girl walk straight into a tree several years ago, hard enough to knock her on her ***. I just couldn't stop laughing.

Am I an evil person?
 
People who seem to forget you have to pay for things. If you refuse to leave the 1980s, you can mostly fill out your check while your purchases are being rung up. Have your wallet out and ready when you hear the total. I'd be really picky and demand you put the cell phone down but ...
People who come to work sick in places where working from home is very welcome. STAY HOME and cough 80 times an hour there
 
How about them internet tough guys these days?? People who rant, talk tough, hide behind their keyboard and belittle/cyber bully. I see it all over twitter, message boards, facebook, etc.

Also, you can usually swipe your card and enter your PIN as soon as the clerk swipes your first item. Don't wait for the total before you out your wallet or purse to find your card.
