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.
I can certainly see why you would love video calls with family who is far away. I'm spoiled having all my children and grandkids living close by, so my video calls are usually annoying things.
DeleteGood list! Time change is seriously annoying. I've also been a victim of auto correct a few too many times.
ReplyDeleteTime change is the worst! The autocorrect thing happens to me all the time. It would be fine if it corrected something I wrote incorrectly, but it just changes random words to something totally different - so annoying!
DeleteGreat list! The people who wear too much perfume would be on my list too. 😂
ReplyDeleteRight?! It makes me start coughing violently. I guess I have a sensitivity to it on top of just disliking heavy scents.
DeleteFantastic 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!
ReplyDeleteFacetime with family is a different story, especially if they live far away and you don't get to see them often. I hope you are doing ok. I was surprised to see you here today. Did you have the eye surgery done yesterday or was that postponed?
DeleteYour 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.
Sorry to hear your weather isn't so great today, Lori I agree with the things you mentioned although most of those would be higher on my list than little annoyances. They would have to go on the things that really piss me off list instead!
DeleteThis 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!
DeleteForgetting to finish the sentence before pressing send - Lol!! And that's what I meant about autocorrect. I'd be fine with it changing a mistake, but no, it just changes what I meant to say into something that doesn't even make sense!
DeleteWhat a great list. I agree with and can relate to a large portion of it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda! :)
DeleteTime 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'm so happy to see you here Nance! I sure hope you are feeling better. I've been worried about you. I completely agree with all of your additions to the list.
DeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteMartha, it's so funny because a lot of what you listed are MINE as well..
ReplyDelete-People stopping by unannounced
-Grumpy cashiers
-Forgetting why I walked into a room
-Passwords that won't work when I enter them exactly as I created them
In addition...
-People who walk so slow that if they walked any slower, they would STALL. And I'm referring to people 40 years younger than me, who move like sloths.
-I don't like being hot. Therefore, SUMMER annoys me to no end.
Fun post, my friend! Wishing you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving Day! X
I agree with all of these except I don't mind wearing a bra. It's just never bothered me. I have two friends who will call after I text. A lot of times, I just don't answer! LOL! I had a college roommate who ate popcorn cooked on the stove every night, and every night she burned it! It drove the rest of us nuts!
ReplyDeleteMost of those fit the bill for annoying! Time change, yuck and yuck. Gray days that have no reason and no rain.
ReplyDeleteThose things all annoy me too!
