Oh, dear. Where do I begin?
-Slow walkers (especially on public transit and sidewalks)
-Unlabelled/mispriced goods in stores
-Holding up lines because your coupon won't scan
-Smoking/vaping in peoples' faces

I'm sure I can think of more, unfortunately.  :/

I don't like when people judge other people without know them, i hate when they show racism, e.g. if a person is fat, black, gay, ugly etc... they start critisize him and that's awful.

Today is my late mom's birthday. She was always forgiving - can't say the same for myself.
In her honor, ego should not be subdued, subjugated - it should be nurtured to properly be there when needed.
I am certain, this what will happen here.

When they walk or run on moving stairs, instead of using the normal stairs. Annoying.

I hate it when I finally find a forum to vent and then I go blank and can't think of all the things that I want to vent about! :)

I hate it when I walk into a room and can't remember why I went there, or I start a sentence and can't remember where I'm going with it

I hate it when a car space is clearly labeled "compact", but someone with a huge car parks in it. No one can park on either side, so they're taking up two or three spaces. To add insult to injury, it's usually the only shade in the lot on a hot day, which is why they parked there in the first place.

Tailgaters! The lane to the left is completely empty so the tailgater could easily move into the fast lane. I feel like relaxing in the slow lane, they come up on my tail. If I move over to let them speed ahead, they go up to the next person's tail.

People talking loudly or taking cell phone calls in the library.

Mother ignoring her screaming baby.

I love spoilers. I regularly read the endings of the book, ask what happens at the end of the movie... Lol
I think the right way to correct spelling or grammar is just fine. Lol.

Forgot to add - I hate George r. Martin (nah) because I don't know the endings of thousand stories he starts and never finishes. And I want to know NOW how games of thrones end... Lol

Hilarious!!!! All of them. The crinkle snack bags during movie or performance, yes! Spoilers, good one.

When my father had open heart surgery he was in pain but sleeping. The night crew came in and started socializing loudly down the hall. Sarcastically he said, "really? How interesting."

Wait, don't tell me, don't spoil it!

I'm not going to spoil it. I'm just going to say it has a surprise ending. Or, don't trust anyone. Or, in real life the actors hated each other (but they're best friends on the show).

I hate other drivers, especially :
- young ones (usually idiots)
- old ones (usually stupid)
- peasants (usually stubborn)
- foreigners (why the hell did they have to come to this very place ?)
- townsmen who know the place too well (and make you feel like a foreigner, or a peasant)
- females (especially : young ones and old ones, the worse being those talking to their female passenger)
- drivers using their phone while driving (especially young women)
- smoking drivers, throwing their butts out of the window
- eating drivers, throwing their McDonald empty packages and soda cans out of the window
- truck drivers (especially the ones who begin to drive past another truck when there are only 2 lanes and they will need 10 km to make it)
- long distance truck drivers, throwing bottles of... well, you know - out of the window
- ambulances, first aid, fire squadron, police cars, officials and all those who make you feel like you're not welcome before them
- lone male drivers, who want to show you that you're driving like a sick cow
- drivers with their whole family inside the car, with children (or dog) on the rear seats, watching you and making faces at you
- and some more I can't remember just now, but they'll lose nothing by waiting.

Aw, elderly people can't help it.

But throwing cigarette butts out the window, or even on the ground, annoys me.

And other trash? Once I saw a woman, I'm not kidding, I was in the library parking lot. . .She opened her back seat car door and scooped her fast food trash directly onto the ground. She was just going to leave it there. I quickly grabbed some bags and nicely said, "Oh hear, these come in handy for taking trash to the bin."

People leave their trash, or their children's smeared, spilled wet food, in shopping carts. People should be responsible for their own mess. Our markets have cleaning wipes and napkins all over. No, just leave the sticky berry smoothie and the trash for the next person.

Slow walkers - If someone is elderly and slow, I can cope. But if they're a young woman is walking slowly because they're wearing fashion heels, I have no patience. Then there is the couple that takes up the entire narrow sidewalk and tries to force you off the sidewalk.

thank you, my dad's surgery was many years ago. . .but no spoilers are ever good for my personality, I love to be surprised by plot twists and the unexpected. If someone says there's going to be a plot twist, even if they don't give details, it ruins it for me. If my friends say I'll like the movie, I say "okay, I will see it, don't tell me ANY thing, not one thing". Or if I see special features, like for the first Star Wars, on how they made it, that ruins it for me. I don't watch "making of" unless I know I'll never watch the movie again.

You're the only one on the beach but someone sits in front of you with large umbrella to block your view of the ocean. You find a seat at theater and as the movie starts, someone tall or with tall hair sits in front of you.

True. And people sitting near you at a cinema with an enormous bucket of popcorn, and chewing it during the whole movie, keeping their mouth open. I just can't stand the smell of chewed popcorn when I watch a movie. That's why I watch movies home, on my own TV set.

STUPID F*CKING PEOPLE BRINGING THEIR IGNORANT KIDS TO THE CINEMA TO WATCH A MOVIE IN ENGLISH WITH SUBTITLES WHILE THE KIDS CAN'T READ AND DON'T KNOW ENGLISH YET SO THEY MUST READ THE SUBTITLES TO THEM OUT LOUD FOR EVERYONE TO HEAR WHILE THEY COULD JUST AS EASILY TAKE THEM TO SEE THE DUBBED VERSION, I WANTED TO F*CKING BASH THAT LADY'S HEAD IN!

In the midst of a beautiful violin solo in a concert hall, a visitor starts coughing and instead of leaving, coughs and coughs for a long time. Made me feel so bad for the performer and audience both. Ruined an incredibly beautiful work.

It's getting annoying when people don't answer to your questions. It would be more polite to say "I refuse to answer" rather than ignore you and have to make the same question 100 times.

Now you should add "dumb people who don't know how to use their cell phone's features" to this thread list of things that annoys you!

But remember, m'dear, that as you age, your words may come back on you. Someday you might understand only too well. ;)

We got a phone call from Ukrain today and it was my husband’s classmate asking “Why are you home and not in the lines for half price iPhone?”
My answer was “First, why? Second, I get a company phone” LOL

I was at the skating rink today. People who go out on the ice with phones to take selfies or film their kids drive me insane. Not only do I have to focus on my own skating, but I also have to look out for those who're not watching what they're doing.

I used to skate a lot when I was a child. And we did go to the skating ring few times, when the kids were younger. And interesting enough - my son puts his skates on for the first time in his life, and skates fluently, naturally...
And my husband, oh well —как корова на льду
Thankfully, no one was taking selfies ;(

That reminds me of a local botanical garden, which has many narrow walkways. People bring their cameras and tripods to take photos of stunning, unusual blooms and/or family members. At first I feel patient, especially if it seems they are visiting from another country. But you get trapped. Again and again. Then I'll come back an hour later to the stunning plant, because I want to look at it too, and they're still there. Or they spend so much time getting the perfect shot. One day I couldn't take it anymore and even though I saw that someone was trying to video a lizard, I just kept walking. They thought I was rude. Maybe I was but I just couldn't take it anymore. Stop and wait 5 minutes, but multiply that by a couple hundred acres. . .I begin to think they're the rude ones because it's a public place with an enormous number of visitors. When I take photos, I always prioritize others over my photos.

I'm very angry at people who pretend to be celebrities online, and then prey on the mentally ill to get their money.

How do the criminals justify this? They deserve jail time with no computer. I want their photos enlarged on billboards for them to be exposed.

It is low, sickening, to prey on the elderly and the mentally ill.

Thank you for letting me vent.

There are scammers on Twtter, Instagran, etc.

They pretend to be celebrities, like Johhny Depp or Uma Therman. They contact fans and trick them into giving money.

But most of us recognize the scam. We perceive that it is a scam.

But someone with schizophrenia or psychosis believes it is the real celebrity.

The "celebtity" says, donate to my charity, or I want to hire you, and gets their ID to sell or their bank account number from which to steal money.

Ι despise it when some people don't accept or at least respect other's opinion and think they are the only people who have the right to judge something. It is bad when you judge someone else's opinion because you think you know better than him or you think your opinion is better and it's the only truth. Everything is subjective. Relax.
