*Little* Things That Annoy You (Pet Peeves)

And have you noticed that things are being packaged with less product, for more money? We noticed that the box of trash bags that we bought seem oddly too short for our can. Turns out that the are manufacturing them with less material, hence the shorter bags. We have had to roll up some old towels in the bottom of the can so that the trash bag will stop caving in every time we deposit trash in it! And other products that would hold about eight items a package have been reduced to seven but at a higher price. Grifters is a good word for it!:(

yes Mom got me some more iron pills...in a nice big plastic bottle...there were barely enough in it to cover the bottom????:confused: Ridiculous!

A backlash will come soon....people will start turning against companies and start looking for other ways to get what they want.

Back to the land :seedling::seedling::seedling::seedling: and underground purchasing groups.....history repeats!:rolleyes:
Hopefully no Bell bottom pants this time, and less drugs....be a rebel against the Atheist government system buy a Bible and read it.....:p
 
i hate the way one of my support staff has to bring up that he is a pyschologist everytime i see him and he goes over how he was the smartest kid in his school,hes only done a degree in pysch,he isnt a bloody pyschologist,he gets uppity if you tell him he isnt one.
another thing that annoys me from the same person is he underplays my mental health conditions, because he thinks he is a pyschologist who is able to diagnose my problems,he was required to phone the gp yesterday to ask for a emergency appointment because i was suicidal and very severely depressed,i told him to say i have severe major depressive disorder with pyschosis and i am having suicidal thoughts and interest in doing the deed,well he just says to them, hi,im phoning on behalf off my service user, she wants an appointment, she has depression [no severe,nothing about suicidal thoughts],they woudnt give me a emergency appointment [no surprise!] but they offered a phone consult and upon raging at him for not explaining my issues he said depression is severe and everyone with it suffers suicidal symptoms so he didnt need to mention it,what an idiot.he also thinks he understands my depression and says,distract yourself when i get really low,yes try that without any motivation and a real hatred for yourself mate.
i really hate him basically.

What an ass! If someone expresses suicidal thoughts, that is considered an emergency! I don't know where you live, but if you still need help call a suicide hotline and they will route you to someone who can help you. I have been there, believe me.

i know, im hoping to get rid of him as a staff.
i have a phone phobia and also communication difficulties so i dont use phones,i have to go through support staff, i am a bit better than yesterday today,i still getting the thoughts,my doctor doesnt do appointments till monday now but he specialises in mental health.
my community nurse [UK social services intellectual disability team equivilent to the mental health team CPN] came out yesterday and said she thinks my sertraline needs upping and i need a driver every day to make sure im not stuck in, the support staff in question apparently rolled his eyes at that,according to another staff,and she said that means he doesnt agree with it,god he is so annoying.
sorry i have waffled on with no self filter,i apologise for that!
 
Trying to act like I'm socially normative, and while in the act, knowing that I
do not really believe I am able pull the wool over the eyes of my "social observers".

It's OK to waffle on; here on AC you can be yourself! I hope you get it sorted!
 
Have plenty, but shall mention these only.

Having to pay to use the loo, especially in the UK. Peeing, pooping and the monthly curse are NOT a privilege.

The bra adjustment clasp is always on the bone of your back, so you get it jabbing into you when carrying a backpack full of books or groceries.

Tax is not included in the price in stores in the US, so there's no way you can use up the coins. Misleading as hell. Plus, the bills are sticky and the same dull colour as hospitals.

Any kind of ad, especially when longer than the show snippet between them. Ads in the damn buses and train stations.

Women showing off their cleavage all the time, and cameras zooming on said asset and bums in ads or shows. Too much sex, period.

Skinny jeans. They don't make you look slimmer, they make you look like apples with an appendage, even when you're skinny. Particularly jeans that end on the calf. Unfortunately, there ain't nothing else in the shops except ugly pleated pants for grannies, so it ain't you fault, but they are so UGLY.

Big cars on narrow roads. Don't you beep at me because you cannot pass me in your big hulk. Not my fault the road is too narrow for the both of us. Ya don't need a sodding SUV in Korea, anyway, unless you've a family.

People smacking gum with their mouths open. Why older women do this I cannot comprehend.

Asinine reality shows. Over here, it's celeb tots. That's right. A reality show about celebrities' OFFSPRING. I don't give a damn they're cute, I don't want to listen to the overbearing "OHHHHHH! in the damn restaurant.

When I can figure out how to post it,I will put up an image of what the ceremonial folds represent on an American flag
My country welcomes all who enter it,but that doesn't mean we have to lose our roots to satisfy outsiders that do choose to come here.
 
Lol, the British at swimming pools made me giggle - it's so true, me, I run and dive straight in.

Here goes.

Loud eating
Loud talking
Loud noises
Screaming children
Dogs barking incessantly
Barbecue smells
Burning rubber smells, burnt toast, burnt plastic
Adverts, thankfully I don't watch much TV and what I do watch (an hour a day) is recorded on my Tivo box
Politicians as they (mainly) lie
Blaring of car horns
plates that haven't been warmed up before eating food as they give off a strange smell
Telephones ringing, my home phone is on mute and my mobile is switched most of the time
Loud knocks on my front door
Facebook - I refuse to use it
Twitter - I refuse to use it
Huddles of dog walkers who block the path (out on walks) and stand there talking and not moving
Anything out of place in my home
Being told what to do
People standing too close to me, or, even worse, touching my arm when talking
Songs (words) that are repetitive, or have no clear start, middle or end
Walking in the hills or somewhere remote, enjoying the quietude and suddenly stumbling across a walker with a very loud and annoying voice...you can here them for miles...gggrrr.
People leaving my gate wide open
People stuffing adverts/circulars into my letterbox filling up my doormat with rubbish
Oh, and little tiny dogs who attack my large docile Labradoodle. Leave him alone, he's a gentle giant lol.

You could have read my mind!:D
 
Lol at garnetflower13, I am glad i am not alone in my madness ha ha..:)

Forgot to mention loud 'thump thump' music blaring from houses and cars send me barmy too. Also clothing that's even the slightest tight or rough.

That booming music is why we sold our last house and moved far away because there was no noise ordinance where we lived so this went on constantly. And I buy most of my clothing from second hand stores because they are well broken in by then.
 
Garnetflower, I know the feeling about being so glad to move. I've sold up and moved twice because of stupid inconsiderate neighbours, but I love the house i am in now, it was built in 1847 and is a lovely happy house, with two foot thick brick walls that keep out noise perfectly... I am glad you are happy now in your home, it's so important:).

Oh yes, the second hand clothing, that's what I like to do.
 
Builder's Butt - I can't tell you how much it annoys me how many blokes don't pull their trousers/jeans up enough at the back.

Ha, yes I sympathise. I had a worker here last month who displayed a very disturbing builder's bum...o_O I wouldn't make him a cuppa because of that sight.
