I've had a few days to ponder what does annoy me and I shall start a list (The order really has no significance. If truth be told, they are all pretty annoying and each one could vie for first place). Won't you add to this post things that annoy you?
- Slothfulness. Your lack of effort not only is a poor reflection on you, but it is making the rest of the team pull, drag, and otherwise work harder to get the job done.
- Spitting. In the past week there have been two occassions in which a male shopper saw fit to spit tobacco juices on the floor (at least that's what I think it was - and I'm not going to test it!). Not only is this gross and disgusting, but I consider it a health hazard. I confronted the second male and asked him if he made it a habit to spit on other people's floor. "Sometimes," he replied with not a hint of shame.
- Inappropriate cell phone usage. It is my opinion that cell phone users should not talk on the phone in elevators and waiting rooms (talking over the conversations of others and the television program that is there to distract me from crisis). How rude! If your conversation is important to take at that moment, get off the elevator or leave the waiting room and go to a place where you do not interrupt the peace of others.
- Distracted drivers. I'm tired of trying to dodge distracted drivers on the road. I don't know whether it is safer to be behind the woman putting on her make-up or get in front of her. It is quite obvious that she is looking at herself and not the traffic. Cell phone users fall in this category as well. There are accessories and features on your cell phone to make it more safe to drive while talking and dialing -- use them, or just pull off the road!! I'm sure that each of these drivers believe that they are in full control of their vehicle, but they are most definitely causing a flight or fight response in me.
Well, that's enough ranting for now. Why don't you post some things that annoy you? Maybe I'll remember one for the next interview.

To get me strated on the annoyances of life could be a serious mistake...but the #1 kicker of my day today...was the question, "With in invention of memory foam will fossils be easier to make?"
#1 annoyance - the thought that STUPID questions don't exist!
Yes, Katie, I agree that stupid questions do exist -- and they usually are posed by those who were NOT listening.
Hmmm, there are so many things. One in particular is when someone decides to pull out in front of me (when I am driving at least the posted speed limit) and they decide that they are going to drive 20 miles an hour under the speed limit. Then they get mad at me for tailgating!!!!
Annoyances: When individual freedoms are taken away in the name of everybody else. Just because one thinks one way doesn't mean all must think that way. We have a variety of personalities and I'm afraid mine makes others annoyed. And that annoys me.
But then again...it is never my intent to annoy...that would be rude...
