What little things irk you?

<p>I was just going to say people who refuse to creep into the intersection, but somemom covered it for me! Thanks! ; )</p>

<p>“Husbands who dont open the new trashbag…”</p>

<p>Lots of husband-bashing here. I feel the need to even the score a little: When you come home from work early, and before you can even pull into the garage, a shirtless guy jumps out of your second-floor bedroom window.</p>

<p>And related to the “Creeping out into the intersection” issue, how about …let me see if I can explain this-- when I’ve been waiting patiently to turn out of my subdivision (we have 2 lanes out), some bozo comes up behind me and pulls into the lane next to me, but creeps forward so they can see the oncoming traffic, but in doing so blocks my view of the traffic so I can’t safely turn. Hey!! I was there first! Wait your )Q#*%+%+W# turn!!!</p>

<p>

Is that shirtless guy you, shmaltz?</p>

<p>“Is that shirtless guy you, shmaltz?”</p>

<p>You wish…</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>The comedian Gallagher once did a funny bit on that one.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>That sort of kind of reminds me of something that a very wise person once said: “Anyone who is nice to you but rude to the waiter* is not a nice person.” </p>

<p>(Substitute “waiter” for anyone that you can safely bully without any real consequences).</p>

<p>You mean I wish I saw you jumping out of someones second story window with an angry husband on your tail? That would be a sight</p>

<p>I absolutely love this thread.</p>

<p>When I get home from work or shopping and a male in the house says “the phone rang, but I didn’t answer it.” I have caller ID. and voice mail. If you’re too lazy to answer the phone then at least don’t tell me that you’re too lazy to answer the phone.</p>

<p>Putting a new roll of toilet paper on top of the roll that isn’t quite finished. This goes along with never, ever changing the roll.</p>

<p>Yelling at the top of your voice that you can’t find the ketchup. It’s in the same spot it’s been for the last 22 years.</p>

<p>But worst of all is the voice on the phone that called me saying “please hang on for an important announcement.” Obviously not important enough to wait until you have time to call me.</p>

<p>A sink full of dirty dishes - inches from a completely empty dishwasher.</p>

<p>people who let their dogs poop in your yard and don’t clean it up.</p>

<p>“Yelling at the top of your voice that you can’t find the ketchup. It’s in the same spot it’s been for the last 22 years.”</p>

<p>Definitely a guy thing. My first H yelled about the mayonnaise, second H yells about the ketchup.</p>

<p>DH complains that I open packages of deli meat and then do not adequately reseal the bags. Or that others in the house don’t close up the cereal boxes, making the cereal go stale.</p>

<p>Back before we had an ice maker, I would hate when someone would leave one cube in the ice tray. And to this day, whoever leaves the orange juice container with in the fridge with only a 1/2" left in it.</p>

<p>My husband would say “people who leave the cabinet doors or kitchen drawers halfway open after taking something out.”</p>

<p>Gulp…raises hand…guilty.</p>

<p>^^ I’m guilty too. And it really irks me when i go into the kitchen and see the open drawers.</p>

<p>People who don’t respond to text messages for days and days… At least take 30 seconds out of your precious time and let me know you’re alive!</p>

<p>In NY you can’t turn on red. I’ve forgotten to turn when I was out of town before more than once.</p>

<p>But at least my parallel parking skills are way up there!</p>

<p>^^^^Yes, NYC is listed in the Wikipedia link as one of the places where you can’t turn right on red.</p>

<p>When people from NYC refer to the place as NY, thus forgetting that the rest of the state is NY. :)</p>

<p>People who leave 2 car-lengths between them and the car in front of them while sitting at a red light - especially at short lights when only a few cars can make it through during rush hour.</p>

<p>I think driving irks could have a thread of their own.</p>

<p>There’s an intersection in my town that is prominently post ‘right lane for right turn only’. Yet a large minority of drivers get into this lane, and instead go straight across the intersection. Thus cutting off those in the left lane who are trying to go across. And bonus - holding up those trying to go right on red.</p>
