Tiny Annoyances! (part whatever)
What tiny annoyances bother the frak out of you, which no one else seems to notice?
Do you feel like the cranky "get off my lawn" stereotype when you call it out?
We have weekly staff meetings at work, and one frau-admin constantly clicks her pen. She's been doing it for months, and only yesterday, when I had to say something and she kept clicking her fuckin' pen, I said, "Could you stop that, please?"
(audible gasp from someone else)
Afterward, two people privately whispered thanks, as if I were some kind of secret freedom fighter. Why did they not have the bravery to call out such minor yet totally annoying behavior?

Coworkers who leave empty plastic drink cups, random papers, and other assorted crap everywhere but their own desks. PICK UP AFTER YOURSELVES PEOPLE. YOUR MOTHER DOESN'T WORK HERE.

I don’t want to be reminded. And I know you sit at home thinking of new topics like these., OP.

Going up to a hotel's receptionist desk in the morning with my room key card in hand and pulling my luggage then being asked if I would like to check out. Same goes when I arrive in the afternoon, again pulling my luggage, and with passport in hand and being asked if I want to check in. Yes, a tiny annoyance, which is the subject of this thread.

R3 is another tiny annoyance; presumptive unemployed frau-phag pathetically trying to call out an employed well-paid and complete stranger, while not even noticing the OP was set at MY PLACE OF WORK.
Get a job, bitch.

So you fuck around at work sitting in your cube coming up with this stupid topic that’s been done to death. I stand corrected.

A quick perusal of R3-R7's posts proves that she's done nothing to contribute to DL threads, or has posted such hateful crap that she's deleted her cookies. But seeing what a dullard she is here, it's doubtful she could manage such a feat; just another stupid bitch who does nothing but complain.

People who play music or talk in public over their speakerphone. I notice one ethnic persuasion doing this more than others, but it is by no means limited to this group. USE YOUR FUCKING EARBUDS, ASSHOLES.

I think I work in the same office as r5. The same hocker/swallower has the worst BO I’ve ever experienced. If you see him exit a stall in the men’s room, do not use that stall until it’s aired out for a good 30 minutes, I tell you. It’s like the gas chambers at Auschwitz.

People who say "is is that," instead of simply "is." As in, "the problem with Trump is is that he’s a fucking idiot." Hear it said on NPR by supposedly educated people all the time. WTF!

People who compare gas chambers at Auschwitz to things that clearly are not gas chambers at Auschwitz.

Housekeepers, globally, in hotels and ships that place the coiled phone cord upside down (on top) of the phone, instead of on the bottom, where it actually belongs. Since we are usually on our own vessel or in our own residence, we normally don't encounter this, but still . . .

Either I’m more irritable than other people, or I’ve misunderstood the thread title. For me, many of the annoyances stated above are more than tiny (upspeak and vocal fry, speakerphone use in public, bleeding earbuds).
Tiny annoyances? Junk mail, excess packaging on small products, bland supermarket tomatoes, the high price of flowers, men - well, it’s usually men - who keep shaking their legs incessantly.

WTF is "the frak"?
If you're asking about fracking, OP, yes, that really bothers me.

I had a colleague who would pull out his eyelashes and eat them.
And then he died and I was no longer annoyed.

People who don't think to have their fare or pass card out when they board the bus ("oh, is this the bus")? block the entrance and take forever to enter; meanwhile, it's raining and you're getting soaked....
Tourists who havenlt consulted their phones, hotel clerks, maps, whatever and ask the bus driver for directions....
Old people who take years to simply sit down in the bus seat (yes, this last makes me a bitch, I know)....

Women (and it’s always women) who get to the top of the checkout queue and suddenly realise that they have to pay, followed by frantic fishing out of their cash card from their purse.

R31, maybe the eyelashes irritated his bladder.
Here’s two: recently a temp came in that was very obese. He smelled like you would not believe. I’ve heard that very fat people can smell bad, but when this guy got up and walked across the room, there was a trail of smell where he had been. Sweat and piss. Luckily I didn’t have to sit near him, but I had to pass him occasionally. I know it sounds like I’m making this up, but I’m not. I wondered if this guy was aware of his smell. I’m guessing not. His clothes appeared clean.
Second, millennials who answer every question or statement with “awesome.” “I’ll be there half an hour late.” “Awesome.” I’m going to lunch.” “Awesome.” “I’m doing a routine part of my job.” “Awesome.”

In a mobbed parking lot or a city street where people routinely circle for an hour before finding a spot: People who walk to their car, get in, start the engine, and just sit. Just fucking sit doing nothing while people wait. Just because they can.
