Dumb shit that annoys me to a disproportionate amount.
1. If someone says, “Let me tell you something…”
Instantly, I don’t want to listen.
2. Mumblers.
3. I say, “I’m going to do X.”
and someone responds, “You should!”
Did…Did I not just say that I was going to?
4. When people talk to themselves…while I’m there.
What do you think when you see someone’s lips move while they read? Talking to yourself is like doing that…out loud…simply because you are thinking. It’s thinking out loud! Don’t get me wrong – sometimes I talk to myself. Rarely – but it happens. But not if someone else is in the room. Because if you talk to yourself when I am in the room, the only way I can tell if you are addressing me or speaking to yourself is to listen to what you say and evaluate if it is meant for me or not. That gets tiresome.
5. People who get on the elevator before others get off.
6. People who pause at the top or bottom of an escalator to figure out where they go next.
FOR REAL? Keep moving!
7. People who stand around waiting for someone to tell them what to do.
8. Slapstick.
9. Spoiled people.
10. My stupid need to have a numbered list reach some sort of round number.

Mumbler! (reminds me of Johnny Depp in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory)
I love slapstick. I grew up on the Three Stooges. I love those guys!!
No?
Hmmm…. still think I’m cool tho?
Damn straight.

Heh. I like my humor dry.
BOO, MUMBLERS!

You know you just described every single one of my freakin’ coworkers. Except #10. I like that about you.

#6 is a biggie with me.
What the hell is with that? THINK and THEN approach and escalator! How hard is that to do? It’s UP or DOWN. Not really that hard, you would think. And hey, if you get to the top and realise your mistake, there’s a handy “down” escalator right next to you! How convenient!
I’ll never understand those people.
Oh and I’ll add one to the list…people who linger in doorways for NO reason.
Sheesh!

THANK YOU for that. I could add one to take away your round number, if you like, especially coming from LA, where just about everyone has to drive to get around:
11) People who drive, but don’t seem to think they are sharing the road with anyone else! What is it that makes you think it’s okay to pull directly across traffic to make a turn in front of everyone else. That definitely elicits a “FOR REAL?”

I too hate spoiled people, but I wish desperately that I was one. -sigh-
Also, the escalator thing, I never stop getting off, but it always takes me awhile to pick the right step to get on. Escalators are scary!

#5… that. It totally annoys the hell out of me. And where I work people do it every day. I have had so many near collisions simply trying to exit an elevator. Are these people raised by wolves or what?
Hmph, I say. Hmph!
