Your irrational pet peeves

People being overly anal about bare feet.

Hey it's not my feet that are touching the petri dish floor that thousands of other travelers are treading upon as well.

[Troy Loney]

aren't hand dirtier than feet? You touch door knobs and such all day....people need to chillax.

I had basically this same conversation at work yesterday....I'm thinking a lot of people must have gross feet and that's why they're weird about feet. If my feet were gross, or were around people with gross feet, i'd be different.

I actually have pretty clean/normal looking feet. Although on a side note, nothing is more disgusting than women that wear flip flops and they have those yellow, dry, nasty looking heels.

Overheard from the woman on the other side of the cubicle wall, on the phone:

" I have buns of steel on VHS."

Also something about something she had to pee out.

Is this maybe a conversation you could have someplace more private?

When someone makes a big deal about how they are no longer going to post on a message board only to return. Especially if someone does this multiple times.

the use of IMHO. i hate looking at it. i hate sounding it out in my head. i hate that you would never hear someone say it out loud in conversation. i hate that it implies using just IMO is arrogant. it just annoys me.

people in fantasy baseball that say they're open to giving up 2 guys for 1 as if that's a sweetener. it almost always means they have multiple guys that are too good to drop but aren't really that good. in my league that's generally the case with all the teams. we'd all love to trade 2 adequate guys (one of which is usually riding the bench) for one guy that's better than either of them.

Very good one. I hate that. Also, people at a convenient store or like a Rite Aide who put all their shizz up on the counter in front of the cashier then go shopping for more.

Opposing teams fans throwing back home run balls.... your not chicago, this isn't 1987. You're an idiot. Take the major league baseball you caught in the stands and give it to a nephew or something.

"The fake cough"
I hate it when I enter the restroom at my work place to take a leak or wash my hands and if someone is taking a dump in a 3 toilet bathroom they do that "fake cough" to let you know that they are in there? anyone know what im talking about? lol

I am guilty of the fake cough while at work, though for good reason. On roughly 2 or 3 occasions, I have been in the bathroom, doing what needed to be done, someone came in, did their thing, and shut the lights out on me mid poop. Was not happy about it any time it happened. I guess that is what happens when you work with a bunch of tree huggers.

There is a younger guy at my apartment complex who will park in his parking spot with RAP music BLASTING, leave his car running while he runs into his apartment to get something, this could last 10 minutes. I have my windows, balcony door open and I could be watching tv or a movie and all I hear is RAP muisc since my place faces the parking lot. I seriuosly want to walk down, open his car door and turn it off.
- I think he is moving and I cant wait to get my own house.

When I am going to use the urinal and there is someone in there pooping, I constantly flush the urinal to have the noise of the water running to eliminate the awkward silence.

This annoys me as well. I understand why it's done in theory, but it still annoys me.

Egg his car. As soon as he runs inside. I doubt anyone would question it.

I'll take a fake cough rather than unintentional flatulence.

Every day, I notice perfectly able-bodied adults using the big handicap button on the wall to have the front doors of our office building automatically open to let their lazy sloth body through. How hard is it to open a door?

I do this at my office purely out of germ-avoidance. One too many times I yanked the door open by the handle and it felt disgustingly grimy. I'm not even a germ-o-phobe either....but the handle was THAT disgusting. So I'd rather hit that button with my hip and not have to touch what I am convinced is covered in typhoid and poop.

[canaan]

interestingly enough, i get mad when my handles dont have enough typhoid and poop smeared on them. cada uno a su gusto, as they say south of the border.

Now there's a page I didn't need to read. NECKTIES?

Maybe I *am* a germophobe. <sigh>
