....and pockets. Aren't they supposed to have the basting stitches out, too????

People who write with both capital letters and lower case letters in the same word/sentence.

I have no idea why it bothers me, but it does.

Seeing people with crooked collars.......or lint on their clothing.
Also dislike seeing crooked pictures hanging in someone's home or in a display at a store.
Silly things like that.

Tags hanging out the collar of shirts and pockets not neatly tucked in!
I've never noticed people not cutting the threads on them slits..it will be something I will look for now. LOL

I'm going to divert from the clothing theme :)

lately it is being waived thru, or just stared at at three and four way intersections. You know, with stop signs. There is a RIGHT way to do it. If everyone understood the rule, no one would ever have to sit and wait for someone to make a move. Drives me nuts.

Garment hangers (coat hangers) on the closet rod or sales racks in stores with the hooks not all facing the same direction.

When growing up our mother instructed us to place them with the hook over the rod with the point facing the back of the closet, explaining that in case of fire that she might have to try to save our clothing in one big swoop. That never happened. She drilled it into me well as I told my family the same thing.

And why can't anyone in this house but me change the empty roll of toilet paper?! They can't even get a new roll to have ready when they leave just two sheets on the old roll! GGGGRRRRRRRR!

When you're standing in line at the grocery, the line is long, and then the manager calls for a new register to open. Fine--great! Then the manager says "Next person in line, this register is open." And some person 3 behind you jumps over there. Not a clue as to how rude he/she is. (This happened 2 weeks ago, and the cashier even said to the guy's face, "You were not the next person in line--you DO realize that you cut right in front of 3 people, right?" The dude was silent. Maybe suddenly became deaf, I told my own cashier... If I was the cashier, I would've refused to ring him up and walked the next person over. Probably would've been fired, too, tho!)

Maybe I'm getting old; the lack of courtesy in so many situations irks me.

Agreed, pammyfay. I don't consider that a stupid little thing. It's major and so annoying.

"I've never noticed people not cutting the threads on them slits..it will be something I will look for now. "

There was some show I saw where they filmed people at the mall and walking down their street with the basting stitches on their skirts and coats. It was all over. I figure they did not remove the ones from their pockets either.

I see people remove the cardboard tag on the waistband of their jeans/slacks and not cut the stitching. They just pull the tag off and leave four, big, bright white dots of thread.

What really bugs me is people who do not remove the tags from decorative pillows and have a sofa or bed displaying pillows with huge, white, long tags sticking out in every direction and flopping around. It really ruins the look.

I've seen people keep the tags on curtains and even bath towels. Why?!?

Pammyfay, That also bothers me, big time...And another, in a line that says, 10 items of less and sure enough someone will come through with a big order...They can't count or read and the cashier should send them away...

Another thing that bothers me is not pronouncing words correctly...Around here, people will say, Picksburgh instead of Pgh., or Libary instead of Library, axe instead of ask...Stupid, stupid little things like that.....

I'm a cranky old b*tch and almost everything on the planet bugs me. LOL

Tailgaters
Drivers that cut in front of me and slow way down, when there wasn't one darn person behind me, where they *could* have pulled in
Drivers that gun it 100 miles per hour as soon as the light turns green to make a left turn - across four lanes of traffic - from the right lane. Happens at one intersection on my way home every single night.
Anyone texting or talking on the cell while driving
People in grocery stores blocking the aisles talking on cell phones
People letting their children run wild
People slamming their carts into my ankles waiting in the checkout line
Neighbors that let their dogs bark wildly all night long
Another neighbor that has to warm his diesel truck up for half an hour every morning, right under my bedroom window

I could go on and on ...

I think it all boils down to what pammy said, lack of courtesy/respect for others

Uck - irishdancersgram - there is a radio commercial on now with someone who is, I guess, a famous sports figure (I don't really follow sports so have no idea who he is). He is doing an ad for donations for Haiti. He pronounces the word "earthquake" as "earfquake". Drives me batty; I change the channel when I first hear his voice because I can't stand to hear him talk about the earfquake. CRIKES!

Still get unreasonably crazed by that stupid little basting thread at the vent on clothing! tee hee.

mini blinds turned down instead of up.

Neighbor below me slams her door.

People who don't know how to spell definite.

The fact that not a single male in this household can close a cupboard door. They open them to remove plates, glasses, food and then leave them wide open! What the heck is up with that??

Trish

People who don't know how to spell "definite" ... and others who replace "than" with "then".

And similar such imprecisions.

ole joyful

Years ago I had a co-worker who dressed to the nines and always looked so put together...One thing she mentioned was that suit jackets held their shape much better if the pocket basting was left intact. And from then on I never snipped mine out hoping to feel more "put together" :)

It's 'nails on the blackboard' time when I hear or read, "He's the man THAT lives there." It's WHO, not THAT, when you're talking about a person. This seems to be more and more common.

Do you ever hear 'prolly' instead of 'probably'? Do you hear 'soff-more' instead of 'sof-o-more' for someone in his second year of high school or college?

The very worst is "You know." The strongest point loses credibility if the speaker lards it with "you know." (You know?)

MUST people begin an opening statement with, "Well..."? You don't have to give me a minute to realize you're going to say something. I'm listening. Just SAY it.

People that seem to be lost in their own little world, unaware of others around them. This could fall under rudeness but many times I just think people have so much on their minds they aren't aware of others trying to navigate life, too.

oh my you found me on a real bad day for things that bug me lol. first off being late, that drives me up a tree..i can see a few minutes or even an hour every once in awhile..but consistantly every darned day..up to 4 hours!!! lord love a duck, drives me batty! i also cannot stand it if everything isnt lined up (ocd) i guess. people in the store who park their cart in the middle of the aisle, leave it there then go to a different aisle, kids screaming and throwing tantrums in the store, my parents wouldve tanned my hide but good in front of EVERYONE, (probably a good reason why we were never spanked, when my parents talked you listened!) also at my moms house there will be 2 sqares of tp left on the roll..nope bring in a new roll and set it on the side of the tub!!! now why the heck when your sitting there remove the old one and stick in the new one? how hard is that??? drives me buggy..if i didnt do it no one else will. another people who walk in my house and leave the door wide open..what is up with that? people who do not wipe their feet..im going to start going with take your shoes off policy again nobody likes it then dont come in...grrrrr if the chickens poop in them thats your problem lol. dirty dishes being left everywhere. candy or gum wrappers everywhere when the waste paper basket is right here next to the table!gum or food particles in my ashtray yuk , yes i know smoking is bad but that is just terrible, people who do not flush the toilet that just grosses me out. ok thats just a few i could go on and on and on....boy you got me thinking and i got to vent a little at the same time..lmao thanks i feel better now..whos next?????

Another irritation.....women who say "preggers"......like it is a sin to say pregnant.

On a regular day, I never let little things bother me. If I have PMS, everything under the sun bugs me (more like infuriates me), haha.

I'm guilty of many of the things listed above! I would drive you bonkers mimi boo, not only do I write some letters capital and some lower case, but I also write some cursive and some standard! It's my own writing style, LOL.

I didn't know blinds were supposed to go a certain direction. When I was a kid we were always taught to have them going up so nobody could see in from the outside.

My neighbors, their dogs and their many cars!

I hate that so many people forget that the contraction for 'you are' is you're, not your. Less common, but for some reason it really bugs me when people drop the 'r' in the word forward, and pronounce it as 'foward.' I also hate it when people pronounce a word beginning with the letters str as if there is an h after the s. I often hear Tyra Banks say 'shtrong' or 'shtraight' and have noticed that some other people do this as well.

When DH microwaves food in the plastic containers and melts the containers in splotchy places. That really irks me. Besides, it's not healthy to cook in that plastic.
