Just wondering what truly annoys freepers or drives you nuts?
Besides Democrats, Trolls and Idiots.
Hey, even FR has jerks and idiots. Sometimes I just don't even bother to respond.
People who say "ATM Machine." "Machine" is already covered by the "M." Either say "ATM" or "AT Machine," but not (essentially) "Automatic Teller Machine Machine."
Stupid people who think a gun in a drawer in your home is going to jump out and shoot you when you least expect it. No amount of appeals to their logic will help, either. They revel in their self imposed ignorance.
People who mouth the last few words of every sentence you say, like an echo.
People who spell loser as "looser".
People who use apostrophes to signify plurals (plural's).
People who hang around outside my offices visiting with each other when I'm trying to work (or post something important).
Is that an memo from the Department of Redundancy Department?
"an memo?"
Ach!
People who reply to their own posts?
LOL.
I've seen some pretty bad Asian Men Drivers and non-Asian Women and Men Drivers.
How about bad drivers instead of getting racially and gender specific.
Whistling and vanities.
Shopping from the check-out area.
Pet peeve threads that get so much of my attention that it keeps me from DUFUing.
White kids who dress up like black rappers and think that wearing bling and talking gibberish will make them black, thus, making them cooler.
However, it just makes them irritating.
Oh..and I am irritated as hell about rap and hip hop in general.
Drivers who don't have enough money to safely maintain their cars (brakes, lights, etc) but do have enough money to put spoilers on their cars (especially cars that really need spoilers, like Honda Civics)
People who refer to a father taking care of his children as "babysitting"
Women in low-rider pants and halter shirts two sizes too small, resulting in the "exploding biscuit can" look.
Emo kids and hipsters
People who forward idiotic garbage around the internet like those emails that warn that re-using your water bottle releases carcinogens and tampons have asbestos in them. It really warms my heart when I get an email from an elderly relative warning all of us not to flash our headlights if we see a car with no lights on because it's GANG INITIATION week and we'll be shot if we do so.
Tardiness, and people who laugh it off as a quirky personality trait instead of the rudeness that it is.
When your sitting having a conversation with someone and they start getting up, wandering all over the room, not for any particular reason, just because they can't sit still.
Passive-aggressive people - especially when they are in positions of authority.
Ill-behaved children in public and their parents who think it's so cute when their "baby" pulls all the items off a store shelf and into the aisle.
It's a tough crowd. I wanted to correct my typo before someone else could.
In my day, banks had guards with guns, and they were ready to use them.
And people who just walk around parking lots, not even looking to see if they are in someone's way, and even if they DO see you they still just take their own sweet time?
Or the people who almost touch you when they are standing in line behind you?
Ha! I was wondering about that! Now you're in trouble with WinOne4TheGipper! Just don't blame ME for keeping you!
Yes, well, that was back in the day when criminals got shot, instead of being given excuses because of their difficult childhoods.
Pet peeve: Work and family responsibilities, sleeping, eating, etc., which keep me from posting on FR 24/7.
When people do that, I yell "mooo," because they are cattle.
