*Pixie* Posted March 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 I hear you, abstract. On a driving note: - pedestrians that aren't looking and just start crossing a residential road when its icy and -30 and you can barely stop your vehicle - people changing lanes without signalling - people driving 10 km (or more) below the speed limit in the left lane - people coming to a complete stop at a 4-way stop and not paying attention to whose turn it is - so they just sit there confused when its their turn On "my lab mates" note: - not cleaning up after they finished eating in the common area - leaving dirty tupperware everywhere - expecting you (out of 8 people) to refill the paper towels but not communicating their expectations to you and just getting mad at you for not doing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatonekid Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 -young healthy people that don't stand up to let an older person sit down on a bus/train -people who walk immensely slow in large groups down a hallway that block my way through -so annoying- -having more leaf fans at an Ottawa senators home game +1 to all of these. Also, people who bite/pick their nails and then spit/throw the little nail parts on the ground. I find that to be too gross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerena Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 1. mornings 2. black socks (so wrong) 3. ONIONS! Get out of my food! (same goes for peppers) 4. bullies 5. prejudice 6. being called "hun," "girl," "sweetie," etc. I know it's a nice gesture, but I just sort of flinch. 7. phrases of speech like, "Here's hopin,'" "Out to lunch", and "Bowin' out" 8. cliches 9. the word "combo" ... for unexplainable reasons 10. movie talkers 11. bad tasting words (I have lexical gustatory synesthesia - it's sort of weird, but often really nice) 12. crowds 13. forgetting to write down items on a shopping list (like cat litter ) 14. the time period between studying and writing an exam 15. losing something 16. the ringing of a telephone - I get an urge to strangle it 17. the sound of my alarm in the morning - same urge as in 16 18. doing laundry/house chores 19. bitter foods 20. when people say bad things about others for no reason ("she's fat," "she's a __<insurt deragotory phrase>__," "I don't like her outfit," etc.). Get a life. 21. forgetting important things (like my bus pass!) 22. several things associated with my shortness (e.g. my mouse voice, short arm span, small legs - I think I've had to hem every pair of pants I own) 23. loud noises 24. test anxiety 25. impatience 26. having a runny nose (I like always have a runny nose!) 27. when my favourite items (e.g. brand of tampons) go out of stock 28. using the restroom and realizing there is no toilet paper! 29. hearing the word "luncheon" Finally, a really weird one, 30. Blue ink pens. If I have to use one, I will. But a part of me dies inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kylamonkey Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 I'm the exact same way! People think it's weird, but I can't take notes with a blue pen and then study them. Black pens all the way. Unless it's a blue sharpie for flash cards/notetaking or whatever. For emphasis. Although, I had a navy blue sharpie that I just loved. My bf hates black pens. It is fortunately not a strain on the relationship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarathonRunner Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 - people who run/walk/bike in a group, taking up the entire width of a path - students who talk throughout a class, especially when they are talking in a foreign language, thus disturbing all the people sitting around them - students who text throughout class - very disrespectful and disturbing - students who are on facebook / youtube, or any web site really, throughout class, again, very disrespectful and disturbing - people, who are usually very out-of-shape, telling me that all the running I do is bad for my health, and that I'll have bad knees later in life from all that running (thanks, but I'd rather be fit than obese and out-of-shape) - people who, when they learn I'm a runner, come up with a million-and-one excuses as to why they aren't active (I honestly don't care - it's your choice to choose to not be active, just as it's mine to choose TO be active) - people who, even today, expect women to want to have children (not all of us actually want to be mothers, thank you very much) and who tell me I'll regret not having kids when I'm older (thanks, but it's a decision for my husband and I to make, not you) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clever Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 There are so many.. 1. When I go downstairs to make my coffee in the morning and someone talks to me. I want silence! I'm cranky in the morning no matter how much sleep I got. 2. Slow drivers/Overly fast drivers/Tailgaters/People who don't signal/People who won't let you merge 3. People who walk really slow in hallways and/or groups that take up the entire hallway 4. People who make noise during class. This includes whispering, talking, shuffling around, people arriving late, people asking the teacher a teacher a question about something she had just gone over (because they weren't listening) 5. When I go to the library to study or read and people are talking. 6. Tim Hortons at the uni doesn't take tim cards. 7. Professors that ramble on about that won't be on the exam. I don't mind personal stories for a laugh; it's when it seems to be related to the topic, but they have no intent on testing us on it, nor do we need to know it for any reason. 8. Cilantro. I hate cilantro. When I say no cilantro, I don't want to find any in my food. 9. Lab partners that make me do everything. 10. People who lie about their grades 11. When someone says that they are taking premed... 12. People who interrupt me when I'm studying. -Thunderous roar- That's all that pops to mind right now.. There is probably more lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
