Annoying Social Habits of people you've met

[Danoff]

In nearly every place I've worked (except the current one, luckily) there has been at least one person who has insisted on trimming their nails at their desk.

I do it in the bathroom stall at work. And I'll tell you why I do it there. My nails get long after only about a week of growth, but I don't notice or care that they're too long unless I'm at work typing all day. So I go home and forget to cut them and then come back to work and find that I must put up with long nails all day until I get home.

Bring nail clippers to work -> problem solved.

Exactly the same here. For me, my pinky nail gets too long and starts to annoy me when I hit the Ctrl key. Quick trip to the bathroom and I'm no longer annoyed. Doesn't stop me from being annoying, though.

That's better than at your desk, at least.

That's what teeth are for.

 

[TB]

Annoying social habit - Chewing on your fingernails.

Even worse - toenails.

 

[Stevisiov]

Even worse - toenails.

what!? people can reach?

 

[Danoff]

Heh, I can't even use regular fingernail clippers on those things (let alone my teeth). I have to use toenail clippers on my finger nails - nothing else will cut them.

Every woman I've met has been jealous of my nails. They come in perfectly shaped, perfectly colored, and strong as steel. Only one problem... I'm a dude.

You never watched Red Dwarf?

If you have a car or a place to live you should have a keychain.
If you have a keychain, then the hole on the clippers allows them to fit perfectly.
Also, since I always know where my keys are, I can always find my clippers.

I'm weird about my key chain. Thanks for the tip though.

Well, every one in the house has "weak" nails but me. Mine do break when they get long enough. But since I play a little guitar, I keep them clipped pretty short.
But my wife will ask me for clippers about 3 times a week to fix a broken nail.
So, I carry them just about everywhere with me.

- People who take the elevator 1 floor when there are stairs right next to it.

I'll do you one better: In one of the dorms I lived in, every two floors had a common lounge (1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8), with a staircase connecting the two levels (which was directly in front of the elevator). One evening after class, some guy got on the elevator on the ground floor, got off at Floor 1, looked around, got back on as the door was closing, and hit the button for Floor 2.

I HATE that sound. I don't understand why people do that in public, either. Quick repairs are understandable (even I have clippers in my desk for inopportune hangnails and such), but to do the whole set?

Let me add to that a little:

Children (age-wise or maturity-wise) who think it's hilarious to press the button for every floor on the elevator. Sure, the lights are pretty, but when your hotel room is on the 35th floor, it doesn't seem very funny.

 

[Kylehnat]

You might be able to go up the stairs faster, then .

I don't manage my nails, I let the free market do it.

- Thirteen year old girls who take their cameras everywhere they go to take pictures and post them on MySpace.

- Teenagers who post their "photography" on MySpace thinking it's good. I wish I could just say "Please, stop. This isn't your thing. You suck at this, badly." (no offense to any photographers)

- People who try to speak l33t and fail really hard at it. They over-exaggerate it. Ex: g37 d4t |\/|0n3y!!11@ $$$

- People who are wrong and won't accept your opinion. This happens to me a lot when talking about cars to a bunch of ricers at school. Ex: "Dude have you heard of the Bugatti Veyron?! It's, like, the fastest production car in the world!!1" Me: "Yeah, I know" Then they continue to tell me all about it it and I continue saying "yeah" to end THIS CONVERSATION. I KNOW ABOUT THE BUGATTI, I REALLY DONT NEED YOU TO TELL ME ALL ABOUT IT. NEITHER DO I WANT YOU TO TELL ME ABOUT THE CCX/CCR OR ABOUT THE F---ING GTR!

Edit: And people who hate cars because of how they look, not because of how they perform.

What's wrong with that? It seems okay, unless you're referring to the letters.

Edit: And people who hate cars because of how they look, not because of how they perform.

Why does it bother you? If the car looks bad, why is it not OK to hate it?

 

[wrcsti]

Yeah. I hate the GTR because of
1- computers
2- looks of it.

 

[Prosthetic]

Yeah. I hate the GTR because of
1- computers

So you hate all modern cars?

I pity you.

Sure, why not. My chittychitty bangbang has a built-in percolator.

I... have no idea what you just said. But, I guess that's sort of your point.

You should look into hand modelling.

Show up at a bar:

Me: "Heeey! Happy Birthday!"
Friend: "Aww thanks!"
*hug*
Friend: "So are you going to buy me a drink?"

 

[Formula1Driver]

Which one said "So are you going to buy me a drink"? the birthday person or the other?

 

[exigeracer]

Fixed. Friend asks for a drink becuase it's their brithday. Laaaame.

A few others and myself already posted those same ones a few pages back. Ah, atleast someone agrees then.

Those shameless people! Posting their own pictures on their own website! Won't someone think of the children!

Well if you're not gonna turn up with a prezzie then what do you expect

 

[TsukubaTrueno]

I seriously think it's more important to respect a vehicle by the way it performs, not of how it looks. Ex:

I have a friend who really likes japan's imports and thinks all Euro's are ugly. That sounds really hypocritical. He hates the Corvette even though it outperforms an Integra or most Japanese imports.

Its seems stupid, but why do you say hypocritical?

I think the Gumpert looks pretty good.

I can't believe that he thinks all European cars are ugly. He's just probably a Japanese car fanboy.

edit: Does he like talking about things like HP/liter?
