Things that annoy you

When one of my hausmates uses the last of the butter and doesn't replace it from the fridge to the dish, and my toast ends up getting destroyed :rage: And wipe off the outside of it if you schmutz it up!

That little bug has been bugging me.... but more importantly....

Last night I found the thing that I think bugs me more than anything else on this planet.

People who think they can sing but can't - who sing every single word of every single song when the car stereo is on. Someone, who I had to be real respectful to, was doing this last night and I honestly thought I was going to just flip out and scream, "SHUT THE EFFFF UP DAMMIT!!!!," or just start weeping uncontrollably. I really couldn't handle it. Person was out of key and enunciating all the words really clearly and doing it loud enough that it would be interrupting them if I were to talk over them to speak with someone else in the car. There were 4 of us.

I switched to a talk station, made the dumb mistake of asking if they ever realized there were two versions of Ain't No Mountain High Enough (something prompted my asking that). This got the person to search both out on their phone, and sing them both in their entirety.

Thank god I only know one person that does this, but they win. Hands down the thing that annoys me most.

People who insist that you try whatever food they like.

I'm in my mid-50s. I know exactly what I like to eat, and what I don't like. Offer me food...if I say, "No thank you," then maybe say, "Are you sure?" If I say, "I'm sure," walk away. I don't care if it's the best five-alarm chili ever made, I'm old enough to know I don't like spicy food - especially super-spicy food. Get it out of my face. You're not being friendly or generous; you're annoying me. Stop it.
