People who wear t-shirts and/or shorts in the winter time. You're making me cold just from looking at you.

Word. It's ok to grunt a little at the last rep if it truly takes you a lot of effort, but doing it everytime, presumably to impress others? Please...

Worse annoyance in the gym: guys who don't use deodorant. Sweating is normal, leaving a huge cloud of stench everywhere you walk is not.

People who take up two parking spaces. It's annoying especially when parking is limited.

Time to pull out the you park like an arsehole stickers.

This one guy I know. He's a good person, and sometimes very pleasant to talk too. He even has a lot of political views like mine, but when he laughs, or when he generally tries to make a joke, it's so annoying I want to punch him in the face.

Does that count as minor?

People constantly honking their horn in heavy traffic. Yeah, clearly honking is going to magically make all of the traffic disappear. Roll Eyes

Zippers that stop working when the teeth become worn out or bent, and eventually break, thereby ruining the entire jacket, bag, or attire.

Seriously?  You'd think if we can put a man on the moon, we'd have figured out how to fix this sht decades ago.

When you put on trousers with a belt already on, and the belt folds inward.

Freedom Thread. Tongue

When I politely make a gesture of acknowledgement to someone I make eye contact with and they don't reciprocate, or (more commonly) vice versa.

Ugh that's the worst, although it makes it all the funnier when you look at a guy trying to show off like that and they're like leg pressing 30kg or something (that's actually a true story).

My other gym annoyance is people who try to keep all of the free weights that they ever need near them rather than putting them back when they are done.  Like at my gym back home there's only one set of every weight out and there's always someone who's hogging all of them and it's always the guy who'll try and steal the set you're using when you're having a rest between reps.  Gym arseholes are the worst

People who go to the gym. The worst. Sends me into a momentary blind rage.

As you can probably tell, I intend to add a lot later.

Longer version: On Wednesday of this week, myself and a few of my people went over to a friend of our's house for her 21st birthday. She's in dental school now and the majority of people there were her classmates. Upon arriving, I realized I hated nearly every male there. Outside of my housemate, his friend, and the hostess' boyfriend (also a brother), every male there seemed to be the empty, hollow sort. They chanted lines form a Red Hot Chili Peppers song. They had lame jokes. They were stereotypical people born of a bland, upper-middle class existence and with little attachment to culture or the world around them but for maybe a TV show they'd once watched. Half of them wore flannel when you had the sense they'd never so much as set foot outdoor their entire lives; I was wearing flannel! I'd already begun to hate yuppies for what they were doing to fashion, what they were doing to my city, but now it's become personal. I can tell you this: I'm never going to the dentist again.

Thankfully, the people I'd come with decided to hang back with one of the hostess' housemates (we'd all arrived just as the majority of the party was leaving for downtown Royal Oak) and congregate for a few minutes, so at least some of the evening was enjoyable.

People who you can clearly tell with one glance don't care at all for how they look or present themselves.

people that don't understand how the passing lane works are always tops on my list minor annoyances

the electrical gremlins in The Beast that keep blowing the fuse that controls semi-important things like turn signals and dash gauges

the asshat that tried to sell me 4 tires today when I only needed one...no I don't think a 3mm tread difference is going to make my AWD system blow up, but thanks anyway.  Nor did he quite gronk the urgency I was in as my boy had a flight out of town at 11 and it was 9 when this conversation was going on AND he had to have the tires brought in from the warehouse.  I don't know how he made his flight.  I dropped him off at the airport at 10:37...for an 11am flight.  Oddly he was the first one on the plane, I haven't gotten the full story how that happened yet.

American architecture. Why are houses built of plywood here? Is it because no one in the US is competent in building in masonry or brick like, well, everyone else on the planet?
