Things that annoy the ever-living crap out of me.
Can a title be any more self-explanatory than the one above? I think not.

- Bad spelling - simply cannot stand it. I'm a perfectionist when it comes to spelling and all that (probably due to my education), and this has resulted in me having allergic reactions when I see someone refusing to properly capitalise, punctuate and spell. Horrid.
- France. Enough said.
- Articles in the store carrying the label 'New & Improved', when they're the exact same damn cereal you've been eating for the greater part of your life. Besides, the term 'New & Improved' contradicts itself.
- Acronyms and the people who frequently use them. You can't put LOL in every other sentence you type - if you were really 'laughing out loud' that often, you wouldn't even have time to type. And when you do laugh, why can't you just type 'haha' or some such phrase? Don't even get me started on ROFL and LMAO.
- Bad music. Making good music, it appears, is a forgotten artform. You should hear the current top three of the charts in my neck of the woods. It's obscene.
- Ridiculous inventions, such as the upside-down ketchup bottle (how lazy are you?) and the beer can with the bigger opening (how impatient are you?).
- People who kick my seat at the movie theatre. Come to think of it, the mere presence of other people in the movie theatre bothers me.
- Sounds of unknown origin. I can stand sounds, they're a normal part of life. But when I can't locate the source of a sound, it will drive me insane.
- Gwen Stefani. I think I've made this clear, already. Plus, this falls under the 'bad music'-category. In spite of that, I simply couldn't not mention her.
- The sound of people eating.
- The fact that I've just missed an episode of the best show on TV, 'Never Mind The Buzzcocks', because I was busy writing this god forsaken post.
- When people lose something and say "It's always in the last place you look". Of course it is. Why would you keep looking after you've found it?
- People who have nothing better to do than complain about what annoys them all the time.
Cheers

I agree with 1. And 4, LOL! 5 too, yo! Not 6, because some of it does have issues. 7, definitely. Not too sure about 8; it sounds kinda fun. (Got it? Sounds?) 10, yes. You get another chance tomorrow for 11. And as far as 12 and 13 are concerned... Oy!
I know I have another chance at 11 tomorrow, but tonight was the rerun of last weeks show, and I happened to have missed that, too.
And explain the #6 having 'issues'?
Cheers
Tee hee! I saw it, I saw it, I saw it!
There used to be a Heinz advertisement where they said it's impossible to completely empty a Heinz bottle because "some of it has issues". I loved that. I have issues too! I'm so glad me and my ketchup are alike.
Great, so you saw it. Please tell me it sucked, and you didn't snigger (snicker?) even once.
Cheers
France is cool. I like the French.
You get the worst new and improved bollocks with washing powder... lying gits!
:)
It was funny and I love snickers.
If it's any consolation, I've missed plenty of Buzzcock episodes.
Lies - Yes, that helped, actually.
Pep - How can something be 'New and Improved'?! If it's new, it can't be improved, because there was nothing before to improve. And vice versa. Think about it.
Cheers
The French are weird. France itself isn't too bad though.
True - I'll give you that.
Cheers
I love France. Die :)
And isn't it that something's in the last place you WOULD HAVE looked? Because I've never heard anyone say the alternative.
Yeah, but that's not even half as funny!
Exactly.
So stop nagging.
Cheers
Wouldn't it have been much easier to write what you don't find annoying?
Smartasses!
I knew I'd forgotten something on the list. Thanks for reminding me, Hay!
Cheers
i just wanted to comment on the kicking of the chair at the cinema. every! time! brad and i see a movie someone is sitting behind him and they absolutely always kick his seat. After two kicks brad is out of his chair and the person behind him never sets a sole back on the seat. hilarious! "quit kicking my chair!" jeez! (it would annoy me also)
hey look! i typed all of that and not a single "w/out" or "w/in" or any other abbreviate pet peeve of yours! sweet!
me again
Is capitalise how you spell capitalize in whatever country you live in?
There are other countries in the world besides the US, yes - in other words, that's the British spelling.
Any more questions?
Cheers
d00d joo pwn3d him...
Joo totaly roxx0rs.
kewl m4d sk1llz.
Which reminds me, I must post a rant about Leet-speak, soon. Thanks for the heads-up, Hay.
Cheers
Ah! I HATE Gwen Stefani. She annoyed the bejeezus out of me.
AH HA! So, you admit there are other countries besides the US?? So then, have you ever considered that in countires such as Kazakhstan, they may use different punctuation than you do? Have ya? And have you ever thought that maybe I use Kazakhstan's grammar??... No?
I wasn't complaining about your spelling, mate. I've seen worse, way worse.
Nice try, though.
Cheers
