Annoying Social Habits of people you've met

People who compulsively say, "would you do me a favour?".

One of the managers in work does it (not my direct manager, different department but is my supervisor when my manager isn't in.). Okay, I can understand she may be trying to be nice and not sound to authoritive but some of the things she asks are actually favours even though she could technically out right tell me to do them.

But the worst part is the favour is never returned. For example, where I work we have to pull delivery onto the shop floor from the warehouse so that the night shift can work it. 1 of the lads who usually helps was off, the other was stuck teaching a new kid the ropes. So I ask the manager in question if she could get another one of the boys there to help me otherwise I'd be there all night doing it. "Yes, he'll be here in 5 mins". Great. He turns up, she gives him a different job to do. Er, what? So I carry on regardless. So eventually one of the other managers helps pull a few and she gets the hint. So she starts shuttling the cages so I have to pull them a short distance, like 5 metres shorter. Well thanks a bunch. Then eventually the guy helping comes back and helps and she starts telling me (for the fourth time) what I'm supposed to be doing after this task, like I don't do the same thing every Friday!


Yes, it was a bad (4 hour, yes only 4 hours) shift tonight.

if you need a definition of the N word, just go watch Michael Witherspoon's special on HBO, he gives a pretty good definition/difference between a Black Man, and a N[fill in the blank].

I think Chris Rock put it in a good way also.
 
Guys that still wear their pants with the waist band well below their ass.
Newsflash, If you must hold your pants up with one hand while you walk to keep them from falling off, You might be a misguided, possibly wannabee hood rat.

If your back pockets line up behind your knees...You know you're wrong!
How can you be "gangsta" when you can't even run from the po-po.
Furthermore, how stupid do you think you look when you trying to fight while you're holding up your pants? (get a visual, people).

I don't think that is gangster ish dress. Baggy pants usually end up baggy at the leg ends part. I have baggy pants but I wear a belt to hold them up.

You are not who I'm talking about.
Baggy is one thing. Hell, some of us would have been way more embarassed than necessary if it wasn't for baggy pants keeping our hormonal flare-ups private. :lol:
But when you are wearing pants originally designed for a 10 year-old, and they aren't even covering your boxer briefs (because it's totally necessary for the whole world to see that you're wearing the undies with the hearts on them)
Waistband showing--no big woo.
Ass hanging out--begging for someone to put a 12 ga. load of rock salt into said ass, hopefully from less than 10-15 yards.
 
...From the "What Annoyed Brad in Public Today" files...

So, I'm attempting to enjoy my lunch and read up on the day's news in the common area here at Aquinas on the second floor of our academic building. Its quiet, people are doing much the same that I am. Then, out of nowhere, this young and "energetic" couple comes bouncing in, loud as hell, and sit down (in all places) adjacent to me.

Of course, young kids with the hormones raging... They're all touchy feely all over each other, hanging off one another, and making out for at least a third of the time.

Normally, I wouldn't be bothered by it. The more love around, the better. But the problem is, its in a place where people are eating... And studying... And its in the frickin' Academic Building for Gods sake!

I know it makes me sound old and crotchety, but I didn't like that too much this afternoon.

No it makes you a reasonable person. What's worse is when two people who are old enough to know better do it... the brother of my mom's boyfriend is a lot like that with his girlfriend and it truly pisses me off. It actually also pisses off my mother and Bill.

he's like 50 something and we joke that he acts like a 13 year old. it would probably be funnier if it wasn't so true...

At least they have primed themselves for a good ol wegie.
 
People who don't talk loud enough in general. CAN YOU EVEN HEAR YOURSELF SPEAKING?!?!

And then they have the nerve to say "my voice doesn't really carry." If I can't throw a football 50 yards, I won't say "the football doesn't really carry."

No lady, you're wrong. You're weak and you have a weak voice.
 
Argh, to further on that. People who can't shout orders loudly enough. Someone who was Front-of-House today wasn't shouting the orders loud enough, had to constantly tell them to repeat themselves.
 
People who don't wait for those leaving the bus to get off before they get on.

Also people that hold up the queue cause they need to buy a bus ticket while the rest of us queue in the rain with our passes. A little less logical but alot more annoying.

Police Academy?
 
New one for me here.

I hate when people "conveniently ignore" general guidelines of stuff to be "technically correct" for something that requires simply a little common sense and observation.

For example, if I were to say something like "tires with bigger tread blocks feel more stable" they would go out of their way to say I'm flat out wrong because there's an exception or 2.

A few of you may know what I'm getting at. :rolleyes:
 
I hate it when a person yells at you for no reason because he wanted the teacher to explain it to him. Though it was pretty simple ( it was a timing light...I tried to explain it to him and the other students told him the same thing.)

I guess it depends on how generally correct you are, I know exactly what you mean, it is really irritating.
 
Here's a funny story:

My mom is a 3rd grade teacher, and today she had a second grader sent over for ISS (In-school suspension). Guess why? He's a male stripper!!! :scared::ill::crazy::eek::odd:No idea how far he got (ahem), but I'll probably know that tomorrow!

Maybe he saw a really hot girl and couldn't help himself!:lol::lol::lol:
 
Wow. He just wanted to get it on right there in class. uh oh. Another 13 year old dad coming?
 
I really hate people who happen to do absolutely nothing but internet speak. It sounds like they're speaking computer. Except not even Microsoft Sam can say the stuff. :grumpy:

2. Cell phones while driving. Im not against it just when you cant drive while talking. Its been tested (look up the myth busters episode) people drive worse on their cell phone then they do when their drunk in some cases!

3. Merging at the LAST minute. Your not going to get there ANY faster if you merge at the LAST minute. and i sure as hell am NOT going to let you in if you merge at the last possible second.

These two bother me also. posted long rants, probably in this thread and in others how I feel about both things.

Let me just say that both actions are incredibly rude, and more than a little dangerous.

If you have the cell up to your ear while you talk, whatever hand it's in is blocking your vision on that entire side of the car, making you more likely to run into somebody like me who is passing you because when you divided up your attention between the phone tasks and the road, you dropped well below the speed limit, and now your are a rolling, weaving obstacle. Get a friggen Bluetooth that goes in your ear, or works thru your stereo! Otherwise, turn your damn phone off till you get whereever it is you happen to be going. Once there listen to your messages and call people back.

AS for the merging thing...IF you see a sign that says "left lane ends-1 mile" start making your plans right then to move right. You then avoid the "accordion effect" at the front of the line that slows things down to a damn crawl.
Newsflash: I want/need to get where I'm headed just a badly as you do.
If you get your rude ass in line well before the choke point, traffic will not have to surge back and forth to accomodate jerkwads cutting in at the front. And, you'll actually reach your objective sooner.
 
I hate people who brake too much. Really a big problem I think; probably leads to more traffic congestion than anything because of the ripple effect of brake lights. I usually try to break the effect by not braking unless necessary. There isn't any reason to brake, dude. You're on the highway.

BTW, sometimes it doesn't matter when you merge. I generally try to do it early, but in some cases traffic is backed up for miles and whether I cut someone off a mile before the merge or right at the merge doesn't matter.

Hmmm, here whichever car further back is meant to give way to a merging car, so if a left lane car is trying to change to the right lane, but is in front, the car already in the lane has to slow down and let the other car in. But if the car is further back, they have to let the car go through.
 
I get annoyed when people claim to know more about something than you do yet they clearly dont. like if someone knows your wrong on something, but doesnt know how to back it up and just goes off on you telling you that you are wrong. thats annoying to me
 
Also On another note, i HATE people who ONLY chat in caps. i wont lie, i used ot do it. but now, i know better AND I HATE PEOPLE WHO DO IT. ITS SOO NOT COOL WHEN IT LOOKS LIKE YOUR SCREAMING EVERYTHING. sorry....
 
I assume you don't mind people that double post though? :P


I find it annoying people that always love to talk about themselves and when you are chatting a in a group about some topic they will try and drop bait for a discussion change to their choice which then they continue to talk about themselves again. Everyone is guilty of doing it at some stage but the ones that contantly do it.....

One thing I find extremely annoying is when people actually say the word "lol" in person.
I'm just like "but your clearly not DUH"
Click to expand...

I'm guilty of saying "lol" a lot... If theres something I think is funny, but I'm too goddamn tired to laugh, i'll say "lol" or "lulz".

Something else that pisses me off:

Friends who send those annoying chain-messages that say you have to send it to 100 other friends or you'll get killed by some psycho b**ch later that night. Of course, that undead, chainsaw-happy girl never shows up, but it's just a really annoying waste of megabytes, time, and your cell phone's pathetically short battery life.(thats why i beat those friends up when they're drunk :D )
