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.
WRGMG: When people post on Dine and Dish begging for recipe ideas for a party or whatever, and then never post back and tell us what they ended up making--it just seems so rude. "Oh, I picked your brains--bye!"
Haha, I sometimes think that they post it and then never come back to look at the answers. I'll sometime check their profile to see if they've ever logged on again.
1.) When you're watching someones house and animals and they order work to be done in the yard and never tell you that you ordered work, when they're coming and don't warn the company that dogs live in the residence.
2.) When this company takes about 3 days to do its job, is cutting down trees and doesn't let you know when they're coming or when they've arrived. Seriously? I told you yesterday that 3 dogs live here and you just waltz into my yard and one of my dogs is out! You could have let him go loose OR you could have gotten bit!
All of my dogs are on a schedule and eat and go outside at the same time. I can't let my dogs out because these people are running around the yard, leave the gate wide open (with a chain to hold it open) and are up in the trees cutting huge branches down and letting them fall into my yard, like hell will I let my dogs get hit by that! They didn't warn me that they were coming, didn't tell me that they were here and I had to comfort one of my dogs because she was freaking out (young pup, not used to the noises and strange people).

1) Parents who buy their kids noisy toys (drum, horn, whistle, whatever) and then complain all the time when the kid uses it to make noise! What did you expect? You don't want the noise, buy him something that doesn't make it.
2) Parents who think that everyone should be entertained by their toddler. On the train the other day, there was a mother (20s) and grandmother (50s) with a two year old who had been raised to believe she was the centre of attention and that everything she did was "cute." They started by laughing at everything she said and then looking around for the rest of the car's approval. Then, when interest in Snookums started to flag, Mummy played some kind of game with her that involved her yelling out where Mummy had "hidden" a toy. That was OK for the first part of the trip, but it was late and after about an hour Mummy wanted to relax. However, by this time Snookums was thoroughly wound up and refused to relenquish the limelight. By this time everyone in the car, including Mummy and Grandma, was ready to open a window and drop Snookums out on the tracks. However it was too late to stop the little monster...a 2.5 hr trip turned into 3 hrs plus due to problems on the line, and we all had Mummy to "thank" for the nonstop yellling that turned to crying and screaming as Snookums turned from "darling sweetie" to "shut up you obnoxious brat".
Did Mummy and Grandma learn anything? I doubt it, very much.
jeez, just reading that makes me wanna punch something. sorry for that, yabbit.

seriously, i would've jumped out of the window while the train was moving...
i am at the dr's office, and the desk lady i am checking in with asks me ''if you are comfortable answering these questions... are you native or alaskan native/pacific islander....'' why?? does it really f'n matter at the end of the day? are you counting on me to fill some sort of magical quota??? no thanks, i don't really know 'what i am'. i do know, i was born in this country, which i thought made me an american... but i could be mistaken. So please front desk lady, put me down for ''other''

I've been told that some ethnic groups have reactions to certain medications. Like people from the Southern Mediterranean, and African Americans, are known to have reactions to some meds for malaria and things like that.
i understand for those reasons... only these weren't for those reasons... they were the standard questions at the end of every application, just a quota counter. i know the lady probably put in her best quess of what i am too... i could tell she was trying to figure me out... i have had them put random things in there before.

Tell her "I'm a bipedal carbon-based humanoid life form." And let her deny it if she can!
hahahaha :)>>> yabbit
also the grouping irritates me.. i will be put straight into the hispanic/latino b/c of the 1/4 spanish, but not in a special group for the swiss or german... or one for what ever my mother contributed... this is how i know they are ''keeping a tally''.
also the grouping irritates me..
i think next generation will be a melting pot for sure... i don't see why they still feel the need to group people that aren't "white"... white is basically a huge mixture of all kinds of European and such, that i don't even know what kind of "white" i am, yet they don't care about that...
i dunno i was in LT relationships with a Korean and a Mexican and i always pondered how i/ my child would fill out these bs forms regarding race...
Besides, there is only one race: human.
Or, if you work in cubicle-land, there's the rat-race, too, I guess...
i do claim earthling alot :) but, yeah i am a conglomeration of european.... i have told people to mark me down for whatever thwey were trying to fill their quota with before, since i knew they would anyway.
This girl on my Facebook who updates her status constantly with,"My boyfriend..." I am so sick of hearing about your god damned boyfriend!!! You've only been dating him for what? A month? SHUT UP ABOUT YOUR FUCKING BOYFRIEND!
"My boyfriend buys me things, squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" SHUT UP!
LOL

i have a friend on fb that does this, too. God it's soooo annoying! and they break up every other week, too. so if it's not lovey dovey statuses about him, it's heartbroken, sad statuses. ughhh
It's extremely immature and honestly, it's always seemed to me that these types of people are not only insecure about themselves but insecure about their relationships and it's stability therefore attempt to live in a fantasy of golden love and take everything to the extreme so they can try to convince themselves that it's a fairy tale come true. It's very unhealthy. Until they become more emotionally intelligent and mature, I really don't see any of their relationships lasting-- in order to have a good and working relationship you need to feel secure. You need to live in reality.

hehehe. i think the last time i announced something like that, it was
"My boyfriend's been doing the dishes this whole week, squeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ><"
(ok there was no squee)
Hahaha, that is a lot different from what she posts and I doubt you update your status multiple times a day talking about him. And you didn't just meet him. And I doubt you're living in a fantasy world.
