After posting my list of the little things that bring me joy last week, I thought posting a list of the little things that annoy me could be fun too.
- Time changes
- Forgetting the one item I ran to the grocery store for to begin with
- People who wear strong perfume
- Junk mail
- Calls from numbers I don't recognize that don't leave a message
- The smell of burnt microwave popcorn
- Being put on speaker phone
- Having that twitchy eye thing
- People who talk using wireless headphones in public places
- Grumpy cashiers
- People stopping by unannounced
- Drivers who tailgate
- Forgetting my point in the middle of a conversation
- Video calls of any kind
- Looking for my phone while I'm talking on it
- People who stand too close to me in line
- Delivery drivers who put boxes in front of my outward swinging door
- Shopping for clothing
- Passwords that won't work when I enter them exactly as I created them
- When I have to wear a bra
- Forgetting why I walked into a room
- Having a stiff neck
- People who call immediately after I send them a text
- People who talk while chewing
- Paper straws
- People who use talk-to-text who don't check for errors before sending
- Banging my toes on furniture
- When my words come out jumbled
- Having to sneeze, but it gets stuck
- Not noticing a change autocorrect made until after sending a message
- Tags sewn into the neck of clothing
What are some of the little things in life that annoy you?
Most of the things that annoy me are self inflicted things I do or don't do. (or things TheHub does or doesn't do)
ReplyDeleteAfter looking at your list, I will admit I love video calls. Our granddaughter lives across the country and it is how we maintain as close to a physical relationship as we can. Otherwise we would be limited to seeing her just twice a year.
Good list! Time change is seriously annoying. I've also been a victim of auto correct a few too many times.
ReplyDeleteGreat list! The people who wear too much perfume would be on my list too. 😂
ReplyDeleteFantastic list, Martha! The time change has to be my #1 pet peeve. I don't like video calls in general unless it's FaceTime with family. That's such a great invention, especially when we live away from each other. Oh, yes, and the heavy perfume? Yuck! Have a blessed day!
ReplyDeleteYour list is great. I will add...
ReplyDeleteTeams' meetings
Corporations
Negative people
Broken promises
Have a great day. It's a true cold, dreary Fall Day here.
This list is genius!!!! I 100% agree with them all!!!!!
ReplyDeleteForgetting to finish the sentence before pressing send :) Not noticing a change autocorrect made until after sending a message especially when it changes its total meaning!
DeleteWhat a great list. I agree with and can relate to a large portion of it.
ReplyDeleteTime change YES. What geologic era are we in that we still do this? It's so insane.
ReplyDeleteI would add:
Loud car dealer commercials
Apostrophes used for plurals
Cell phone usage while shopping
99% of packaging
Prescription drug ads on TV
I can relate to most of these! I don't mind most tags in clothes or people dropping by, as long as they don't do it too frequently. :)
ReplyDeleteOh yes, Otto is a pain in the a**. I was the grumpy cashier. It was an annoying job.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same about many on your list.
ReplyDeleteThose are all first world annoyances. What is really annoying is the fact that our elected officials are allowing banks, corporations, insurance companies to fleece everyone. What's more annoying is that instead of protesting or voting them out, people remain hypnotized by streaming, binge watching crap, social media and online shopping.
