I hate to say it, but I am guilty of using FB in place of Facebook. On twitter, where there's a character limit and where I see it alot, I guess it's acceptable. But somehow it made it's way over to Facebook with me.

I'll do one better.

The people who insist on updating their facebook everyday with updates like "some people need to stop talking ish, and you know who I'm talking about."

Umm, no. No we don't. Either step up, show some manhood (or whatever the womanly equivalent is), and drop names. Don't hide behind a veiled comment about how "somebody" made you angry.

Here is a totally irrational one....

Anytime someone has a birthday in my office, the office purchases a cookie cake that is left out in the kitchen for everyone. I love cookie cake, but I can never really enjoy it unless I have a glass of milk to go with it. I wish the secretary that brought in the cookie cake would buy milk as well, or let me know when she is bringing it in so that I can do it. Cookie cake does not go well with Pepsi. /rant

There is a Salvation Army box up the street from my house that says specifically "CLOTHING DONATIONS ONLY. DO NOT PLACE ITEMS OUTSIDE BOX. VIOLATORS WILL BE PROSECUTED." There is always a sofa or some ish outside the box. This annoys the crap out of me and makes me want to take the junk back to whoever placed it there and set it on fire in their front yard, West Virginny style.

You probably don't want to know. It's usually whatever loser guy she's talking to at the moment.

The people that walk into the office building like they are walking into an international airport. IF I HAVE MORE STUFF, I'LL APPEAR MORE IMPORTANT AND SUCH.

I'll have to bring my luggage to the office sometimes when I'm traveling as I am either leaving for home from the office or I am arriving to the office right after traveling.

That totally looks like this girl I know on Facebook. It makes me laugh because she decided one day to attack me on there about something I had no involvement in.

It really bugs me when the handrail for an escalator is moving at a different speed than the steps. I like to lean on the handrail, and I hate being sloooowly pulled forwards or backwards.

No problem as long as you somehow identify yourself as going to or coming from an airport. :thumb:

This may be a rational one, but it annoys me when coworkers will carry on a long conversation near me by whispering the entire conversation.

Most things about facebook annoy me, but especially posts about what people are eating / cooking

"Beef Stew for dinner! Hope is turns out OK!"

"Pumpkin Spice Coffee! Yum!"

I don't mind that, as long as their screen name isn't some variation on a food combination.

No, wait. ;)

Not being able to remember perfectly good irrational pet peeves to add to this thread hours after I think of them.
