You know what really grinds my gears.......

Ok so maybe I'm just a weirdo, but there's silly little things that really bug me for no apparent reason - what about the rest of you? Is there any little thing that really annoys you, but probably shouldn't that much?
Ok I'll start:
I hate it when peolpe jiggle their legs up and down when they're sitting down. Some people will do this continually and I HATE IT. There's no logic to my annoyance but it really bugs me.
It also bugs me when women put their make up on on public transport - just wake up earlier if you want to wear it - and don't give people dirty looks when they stare at you.
My mom used to eat sandwiches and drink coffee (which she pumped out of one of those Thermos dispensers) while driving. She would also consult maps etc.
lol, that's not normal? everyone does that here.
Yeah but she drove with her elbows and knees while doing it... :o
I see people doing that, but my legs are too short and my knees won't reach the wheel! Safe by default.
My neighbors are getting the oak tree completely cut down!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wtf. Its rooted in their yard, the fence kind of goes around it, but most of the branches/shade were in OUR yard. I dont know, I feel like thats something you at least tell your neighbors when its a freaking huge awesome oak tree. I am sooo pissed off, now I know why they left this morning and haven't been home. I just came home and its almost gone.
SOPISSEDOFF.
They don't even use their back yard, I don't get why they'd get a tree completely taken down thats in the very back corner of their yard with plenty of space.
ah that sucks Sarah. Last year they almost completely cut down the huge oak next to my apartment, but they ended up just cutting off a few major limbs. You should climb up into what's left and stake it out! :D
We have a tree in the front of our house on the other side of the sidewalk. They've already cut down (not even kidding) half of the trees in my neighborhood so lots of people just replanted trees but there's one left that's in front of my house and is a bit in front of our neighbors house. The neighbor told my nan he wanted to it cut down, since it's on our property we get to decide what to do with it and my nan has told him a thousand times that she's not having it cut down. So, he tried to go around us and called up the town and told them that we wanted it cut down. Thankfully, just before they were about to cut it down someone came and actually asked us to verify it and we told them no. We were pissed when we found out what he did. It's a freakin' tree, it doesn't do anything to you!
My neighbors are wacko though. That same one is always trying to tell us what to do with our house and yard and telling us that our property is so gross that it brings down his house value. WHAT! His house and yard is shit! Ours is beautiful and we take super good care of it.
The stinky scents used in cheap cosmetics. One of my students spackles her face on with a trowel and uses cheap slap to do it with. Each item (blush, lipstick, foundation, etc) has a different cheap scent. Then she loads up on styling foam, hairspray, and covers it all with a bath of cheap bath cologne. Ugh. Every time she comes I have to air the apartment afterwards because the combination of smells is stomach-turning.

Being forced to smell people is my biggest pet peeve on the entire planet. I know which professors are in the building, because I can smell their particular cologne/perfume. When I'm out running, I know there's going to be someone up around the bend because I can smell them. I can't STAND smelling other people. It is absolutely the most offensive thing I can think of. I think the human body smells wonderful, salty and just right, and people go and screw up their natural sexiness with cheap (or even not cheap) colognes. There is nothing that I find more of a turn off than Axe body spray on a guy. Repulsive.
Yeah, perfume, cologne and stuff like that gives me headaches and migraines and messes with my allergies.
I met a girl the other day who was also a redhead, also named Jessica, and also a vegetarian.. but we were anything but similar. I'm usually not an angry/violent person, but I was about to punch this bitch. I know I should be happy for anyone being a vegetarian for any reason, as it's more about the animals than the people, but urrrgghh. She was one of those "I'm a vegetarian for health reasons" girls. She said she didn't want to consume all the chemicals pumped into meat.. while she was smoking a cigarette. Hypocrite. I had to leave the room when she said "I don't give a fuck about animals!" ..For some reason, she pissed me off more than most omnivores. >:(

i almost shit my pants this was so funny!
Passive-aggressive shit.
A customer walks into my store amidst a trolley-jam, because it's a big specials day. She's talking... loudly... on her cellphone. After a few moments she starts saying (to the person on the other end of the phone, or to the air in general, who knows?) that she's on her way but can't get through because there are so many people/trolleys in her way, yada yada.
Crikey, if you want someone to get out of your way, just ask them, don't HINT at them! Whatever happened to old-fashioned manners and saying "Excuse me (please)?" or a basic "Could you move?" ::)
Trolley...is that like a shopping cart?

It's a song from an old musical movie called "Meet Me in St Louis." Judy Garland, if you have any idea who she was.
