[Thread title must be read as if said by a quail speeding out in the distance]


- People who sigh too loud, I swear to God. Whatever's eating you is not important to me, whiney person (it's a very localized peeve: There's a co-worker who's constantly doing this right by my side).

- Loud people on the bus, and loud people in general

Passengers in my car who make phone calls. It's one thing if you get a call and can't get off, but I hate it when somebody gets in my car then immediately dials their phone. So now have to turn down my music and listen to your half of a conversation for the rest of the ride. Great.

Companies that still send bills in the mail and except you to mail them back a check. What century are we living in here?

I'm not sure about you, but I'm living in the 18th.

Bank customer "service" operations that never give you the same person twice, causing your to have to repeat your sob story over, and over, and over, and over...

[wombat]

Oh, that reminds me... the kind of customer service where you call, and the machine asks you to punch in your account number and all kinds of other crap, and then when the human finally answers, they ask you for the account number and crap all over again. It makes me want to SCREAM.

All of the above, plus:

* People clipping their fingernails at their desk (that little *clink!clink* is just grating in a work setting)
* People who call or stop by my cube at work and tell me something they need me to do right away without asking if I'm in the middle of anything else and then leave before I can tell them that their need basically has to go to the bottom of my list.

Amended to add:
* People who look at me blankly and complain that the printer not printing two-sided and hasn't for a month, and they have let their supervisor know that I need to fix it, while in the meantime everyone else has been printing two-sided just fine, and plus I'M NOT THE DAMN PRINTER FAIRY or EVEN TECHNICAL SUPPORT;
* People.  In general. 

Yeah, I'm having a rare crabby day.  I need a hug.

Oh LORD that dredged up a horrible memory.  I was sitting in my office one day when I heard that tell-tale noise.  I walked around the corner to confront the offender and he was sitting in his cube, CLIPPING. HIS. TOENAILS.

Holy crap.  Holy, holy, crap.

At least he wasn't biting them off.

Two of my coworkers just started doing this. I think they share a pair of clippers. I will allow for emergency nail maintenance but doing a whole hand is just a dick move.

Of course one of them is the same woman who applauds things on her computer and says things like, "oh that is too much" at full volume even when nobody is around.

People on the bus who think their bag is more worthy of a seat than a human being standing in the isle.

People who rake the leaves from their lawns into the street instead of cleaning them up themselves.  (These are people who, unlike me, do not have a gutter drain in front of their own house, and I suppose don't understand that the leaves are not taken away by a magical gutter fairy.  The leaves are then rinsed by rain and/or melting snow to the drain in front of my house, where they clog and block the drain, leaving a massive wet, rotting mound of leaves + Burger King packaging + used syringes + garbage + cat and dog feces.   Even better is when this happens when my husband or I are not at home, and then a well meaning neighbour comes by to unclog the gutter and scoops a huge mound of soggy, rotting leaves, garbage and shit onto our boulevard. 

[wombat]

We do have magical gutter fairies that come around a couple times each fall and take the piles of leaves. So it's not an unreasonable hope. It is sad that they never show up for you.

You can have my untracked assets when you pry them...etc etc.

I have the same problem as smells.
