Small things in life that gravel your ass

[Bwana]

What are some things in life that are really not that big of a deal in the big picture, but just piss you off?

My example of the day:

The dogs were barking at something today out in the alley, so I went outside to find out what the hell was going on. Some Slippery Larry contractor was back there unloading a bunch of shit into my city garbage container.

Me: Hey there strokestick, are you my new neighbor or something?

Slippery Larry: No

Me: Yeah, I knew that, then why are you dumping your crap out into my garbage container? I have plans to clean out the garage and am going to need the space.

Slippery Larry: I don't know.

Me: Do you live in a house, do YOU have a garbage container?

Slippery Larry: Yes, but it's full, so I'm dumping it in here.

Me: No, no you're not, try the city dump. Don't let me ever catch you back here pulling the bullshit again, or we are going to have a big problem.

At that point, he high tailed it out of there.

Like I said, it wasn't like the guy was back there trying to break into my shop, but it rubbed me the wrong way.

There's a douche like that where I work who never shuts up, but it's much more annoying at 7 in the morning to hear him running his mouth non-stop and literally saying nothing while I'm just trying to drink my coffee and chill.

I'll give you the bottom of the bag. I have no issue with the last remnants being poured. It's watching the whole bag being eaten that way that bothers me. They hold it up and their mouths are open like baby birds and they're trying to shake out just the right amount of peanuts, not too many and not too few, and it's more or less impossible to do.

I see what you're saying, I consider that to be trashy. My stepfather does the "shake them" first then eat them move. It is rather annoying.

Have we discussed Asian woman drivers yet?

Sorry Tim Bone, but this includes your wife I bet.

I work in a 7 story tower, and have a supervisor that starts hitting you with every note and task he has for you as soon as your foot hits that final step. It annoys the absolute shit out of me.

I'm like, dude, I just walked seven flights of stairs, let me at least catch my breath before you get started.

Reach in and pull the peanuts out, people. It's simple. Don't throw back the peanut bag like it's a shot glass.

The only thing worse is when people hold the peanuts in the palm of their hand and jiggle them around and then hold their hand up and toss them into their mouth.

I have no idea why this bothers me, but I cannot abide by it.

These should be in the irrational hate thread.

This confirms it, you're crazy.

Watch someone doing it for a few minutes and suddenly it'll all make sense. It's a behavior that should be illegal, perhaps even a felony.

I've been places like that. I'd get there super early to get going. And I know that is assenine, but that drives me crazy.

Yeah, it's ****ing annoying man, especially on a Monday morning. We have operators that work weekends and if something is ****ed up on my lease he tends to come straight to me and not the weekend operator. I'm like "did you even ask the operator who worked this weekend?". Ugh **** I get mad just thinking about it and tomorrow is Monday.

For a while I got real passive-aggressive about it. I'd hang out in the kitchen on the sixth floor until the exact minute I was supposed to come in and relieve him, so that he'd be there a few extra minutes past his shift explaining everything to me.

That wasn't fair to him, though, so I stopped doing that. Now I'm just honest with him about it, and tell him to slow down or at least say good afternoon/morning first. He's getting better about it, but I still have to give him the look sometimes.

Not trying to poke here but do you struggle with any OCD issues ? Emotionally in your heart do you struggle with letting others be without judging them in general besides incorrect peanut eating by others ? That was funny when I wrote that so please don't take it personal. Just saying. Are you very anal in general. No jokes here other CPers !!!

Best remedy right here. Just be open and honest all the time and he will continue to back down.
