I seriously love life - hardly ever let things/people that annoy me set me off or ruin my day. But there are definitely things that annoy me! Get ready for some negative emoting :P
1. People that mourned like crazy on Twitter, blogs, and facebook statuses about MJ's death. I'm not talking about the odd "rip MJ" - more the crying and screaming ;)
2. Sean Hannity. Wow. I saw a clip of him recently going agro over a picture of Obama that LOOKED like he was checking a girl out. Hannity insists on stating (over and over) that the girl was only sixteen. There's a video clip of the photos - it's not even close to that. He's just turning to help someone down some steps. Talk about disrespecting our commander in chief...
I wish guys like Keith Olbermann and Sean Hannity would just go away... I'm very fair with who annoys me :)
3. People that rejoiced like crazy on Twitter, blogs, and facebook statuses about MJ's death. Lame.
4. People on Facebook who's political party is "Obama." Maybe not the people. I love a ton of people who have that, actually... just the idea of it. If you care enough/know enough about politics, you'll know that Obama is in fact... (gasp!) a democrat. There's nothing wrong with the term democrat, is there? :P
And I don't blame this annoyance on President Obama ;)
5. People that are REALLY concerned with getting in line first. You know the kind - you're a little closer to the checkout line then they are, but if they run they can beat you there, you know? That guy/gal annoys me. Especially since they're typically older than me...
6. My mom at Chick-fil-a. WOW. God bless her for enduring 52 hours of labor in a trailer out in the middle of nowhere (no lie - plus I was 10lbs!). But every time -- no seriously, every time she makes an order mistake, doesn't know what she's going to get as she's ordering, looks confused as if she's never been (after she's stood in line for several minutes). I'll go to the bathroom to wash my hands and come out... she still looks like a three year old attempting quantum physics :P
It's Chick-fil-a -- You're either getting a chicken sandwich or chicken nuggets!
7. Stephen Merhant/Ricky Gervais (creators of the Office - the original version). I'm re-watching their incredible TV show called "EXTRAS" - a show about an extra who is trying his best to get a line in one of the films he's background on. It's amazing. What annoys me about it? There are two seasons with only six episodes and then a two hour special. I want more!
Here's a rad clip from the show.
8. The guy who created Super Size Me. Guess what, dummy... of course you'll be in bad shape if you eat at McDonald's 3 times, get every meal supersized, AND have desserts after all of them! Did we really need a documentary to tell us that?
9. Hillary Duff, Wanda Sykes, and anyone else that gets REALLY offended if you use the word "gay" but couldn't care less if you use the word "lame" (since that is referring to disabled people who can't walk).
You can see the above embedded clip here.
I kind of want Lindsay to do one of these... She's way more positive than I am. I could see her saying something like "Umm, it annoys me when... when I'm not as nice to the DMV clerk as I should be?" :P

This is a pretty reasonable list - you don't seem to have any crazy little pet-peeves that drive you up the wall for no reason.
I must say my list goes on a hell of a lot longer!
L x
PS. I LOVE Extras.
Have you seen Peep Show? If you're into your politically incorrect British humour I think you'll love it! You should check it out!
great list. i can say that most of things could get under my skin as well.
There should so be, like, 5 follow-up posts to this ... this list is waaaay too mild :P ;)
Oh and the line about Lindsay was ... just beautiful. And true!
:)
I get annoyed at 4 way stops when someone piggybacks with another...
Everything on your list would probably bother me too. Id like to hear Lindsay do one of these :)
Thanks
#5 hits so close to home. It seems like everywhere I go someones angling to be served out of turn, drives me nuts.
I think your blog is ridiculously entertaining. Truly. ;)
yes, I think we should have a post like this from lindsay :)
I was about to fall out with you there Bobby when you mentioned Extras/the office because i thought you were gonna say they annoyed you and that you didnt like them.
Phew, that was close. We're still buddies. :)
Hahaha! You're such a wreck!
My biggest pet peeve is when my mom is talking and she pluralizes everything! For example, I would say: "I'm going to Target to pick up paper towels." My mom would say, "I'm going to Targets." After 27 years, it still sends shivers up my spine!
this is very timely for me. i really wanted to rant/blog about real estate agents but thought perhaps it would be too negative...
you, sir, are a class act. nicely done.
awesome blog!
I also hate that UK shows will be like two seasons long and have six episodes each. WTF? The UK Office nearly made me cry when I realized that was it. Then I thought I found another show with Martin Freeman in it, and it was only four episodes. Silly Brits.
The reason UK shows are like that is they know when to end a show - when its at its very best. Fawlty towers is another example. 12 episodes made. American shows, as much as i love them, drag them out far to long to make more money. Prison break for example should have ended after season 1
Great post…LOL- I can't stand my sandwiches to be cut in half if they are not cut on the diagonal (triangles)…you know what I mean, Bobby-ha!
