When my youngest son was first in day care, two of his teachers would always talk about going to "Target's" or "Safeway's." I found it more charming than peevish.
 Please pardon me, for these my wrongs. |

When people are drunk and they don't let you finish one God damn sentence without butting in. Not that it happened all night last night...

i can't stand it when, in emails, people use formal, proper paragraph breaks and spacing for the whole message, but then for their signature they don't. like this:
Dear So and So,
I wanted to say this and that.
It's great I'm saying all this. I have great sense of formal letter writing structure. Or do I?
Sincerely,
Mary
fucking hate that. why would you double space everything else except the last thing? why?

auto signature....
speaking of which. i hate iy when people have a picture in their signature so it looks like you got an attachment in your e-mail.
And i think "think twice about the environment before printing" is pretty passe. shut it buddy, i'll print whatever i want, i only paid $3.88 for this ream of paper and i donate at least triple that to environmental causes each year.

even if its auto sig you can use proper spacing
i'm not a structure / grammar nazi. but I find it annoying when people who do seem to want to use formal structure (say, an official work related correspondence) and they do this. it's so fucking annoying. and looks terrible
it makes me appreciate it more when people do have respect for structure (and more eye-pleasing symmetry)
sincerely,
floop
(see - should be a space there)

Now see, if you were a regular reader of the commode chronicle, you'd know that that isn't terribly gallant.

This is a really stupid one but I don't like weather reports. Nothing against weather. I just hate the sound of people talking fast about weather. It's like a worm in the brain. And they just get sprung on you, no warning.

- anything sticky on my hands or things I use with my hands
- people talking with their mouth full of food (causes desire to punch face)
- short internet films that have self-indulgent opening or closing credit scrolls that go on longer than the film, as if anyone gives a fuck
- people saying "am I right?!" or whatever is the recent popular saying from whatever recent popular tv show or commercial, as if it is clever and or original. like, "wassssupppp" in the early 90's

in the "I'm going to hell" category:
- hate when car wash employees change my seat settings. hope you were comfortable during the 10 feet you drove my car. no tip
- hate when my maids hide my shit from me. I thought maids were supposed to make your life easier. not make you search for an hour trying to find your fucking camera
- hate when homeless panhandlers aren't missing limbs. just kidding

- people who enter the elevator before you have exited. isn't it, like, logical etiquette to let the person getting out get out first, before you fucking go in, you fat fuck?
- people who take too long at a coffee sugar / creamer station, stirring their coffee 100 times. it's not going to get any more blended. it's hot coffee. the sugar disintegrates instantaneously. probably takes 2, maybe 3 stirs, and your coffee and sugar will be blended.
- people not posting pet peeves
- people who have a lot of pet peeves

- chopped salads. why chop them? makes it impossible to get salad on fork. eating shouldn't be made difficult
- people using the term "delish"
- food writers describing things as "sexy" all the time. the only time you could describe food as "sexy" is if said food were strewn across Salma Hayek's chest. i'd give you that

oh heah. The other day I waited like a year for an elevator to go from 3rd to ground floor, and it stopped at the 2nd for a woman who pressed 1. drove me nuts.

people who name their kids obnoxiously long names with 5 syllables, and insist on calling their kid by that name repeatedly (as opposed to a shortened version) as a way if broadcasting 'look at how unique my kids name is'

•People who take too long at the salsa bar because they are buying lunch for their whole fucking family
•People in line ahead of you who are buying food "to go" for a bunch of people; this is especially annoying if it happens in Burbank and the person is obviously a gopher for one of the movie studios
•People who take too long at the salsa bar because they are buying Mexican food to take back to a movie studio for a bunch of people who hired him to do stupid shit like buying lunch for a crowd of people; gopher doesn't give a shit that your burrito is getting cold while you wait because he works for a studio and is inherently more important than you and buying food for people who are vastly more important than you
•Studio people who take over a block in your neighborhood to film some stupid TV show and treat you like a second class citizen because you do not work on the set and therefore are inherently less important than them
•The reply "No worries." (I could be wrong but I assume this is a Canadian thing. It seems like it often accompanies a Canadian accent.) Who said I'm worrying about it? Who said I give a shit enough to worry??? Hey, I have enough real worries to worry about the stupid shit that usually elicits the "no worries" response. |

as someone who used to do that I can tell you it's not fun or easy. so, if its any consolation, the person getting food is probably getting paid hardly anything and putting up with a lot of difficult personalities / divas, working 14 hour days, then going home to a bachelor apartment to eat cold pizza and masturbate to Internet porn on a dial up connection
I did (and still do) always find it interesting, and often annoying, what bizarre diets people have. I think LA has by far the widest variety of off the wall diets. it's like a badge of pride to have some impossible eating requirements
then there are people who are wildly rich and could choose to eat anything they want but they just want McDonalds or Taco Bell (like Barry Sonnenfeld)
