Some of you may or may not recall that I have a co-worker who always has to top me and tells tall tales and all that jazz (hereinafter "Topper").
In order to salvage what little friendship we still have, I've made a point to limit my contact with her, so I don't get so annoyed and can still enjoy the time we do spend together.
Today, I made lunch plans with five other people. We are going to a taco place -- a taco place that I know Topper hates. Topper asks to join the lunch, to which I say, "Sure."
Then Topper proceeds to complain about the taco place.
WTF?
You were not a part of this plan. You are crashing. You do not get to complain about our destination.
What you described is exactly why my lunch group at my old location dissolved into separate groups. Lunch is too important to be ruined by annoying people who complain about the consensus.
That would bother me, too. I have two coworkers that I occasionally go to lunch with. When it's time to go, neither ever volunteer to drive, though both have cars in the exact same parking lot I do. When I volunteer, one has to sit in the back seat with the carseat and inevitably complains that she's crowded. Volunteer to drive once in a while or shut it!
My throat has been itchy and irritated for a few days and my birthday is on Saturday and for once, I actually have real plans to go out. I better not be getting sick or there will be hell to pay.

That is really lame Miso. That would drive me BSC. I would say something.
For me, I am totally irritated with my boss. I have not seen her in weeks. WEEKS. SHe has no idea how any of her employees are doing nor does she bother to ask. I work for a municipality and I cannot see how she is getting away with never being here. I could be picking my nose all day (or GBCNing)but I don't. I work my tail off. I just don't get it...
I wanted to wear a specific dress today, but when I went to put it on, I noticed a bunch of weird holes in the bottom. I am mystified by them. I don't really care about the dress- it's just a cheap old navy maxi dress, but STILL. How did the holes get there? It looks like the hem was chewed on by a rabid hamster. So weird.
I started my first PP period today, on my day off, when I have to watch DS by myself for 13 hours. And he's a kid that won't just chill out. he's like a wiggly, flopping fish most of the time. I know it's not the worst thing ever, obviously, but it sucks.
This!! I really really don't care what this dude's beliefs are but this shit really annoys me. There is also someone who drives around with a painted trailer warning that "hell is real" with flames and bible verses all over it. I have fantasies about running him off the road.
Annoying food people are the worst. If I get invited to a place that I really don't like and can't find anything that I like on the menu, I don't go. Easy peasy. I am in a giant funk lately and can't seem to snap myself out of it and I am irritating the shit out of myself.

A guy at work got promoted, and he is TERRIBLE at his job. I mean, he just sucks so much. But he's a lifer and he's friends with the CEO, so there you go. I guess the bonus is that I no longer have to redo his work because he's in another department.
"Ohhhh, that's right. I forgot you didn't like Taco Place. It's okay, don't feel bad. Sooo, maybe next time then. See you when we get back!" *waving, big smile* "byyyyyeeee!"
I have one coworker who is just a drama queen. It's always something with her. I feel half the shit she says is a damn lie too. She wants people to think she is not to be messed with, and that bad things always happen to her. She claims she is so much busier than everyone else here, and that her job sucks more than everyone else's. She's just a negative person.
Her latest today was that I over heard her telling someone else that she gained 4 lbs from a piece of pizza. Nevermind the fact that the piece would have to be 14,000 calories for that to be true. Nevermind that she always eats like shit otherwise. I'm sure she did gain 4 lbs but not from one piece of pizza.

They keep closing the roads that take you from our subdivision to the real world. Like one road for a few weeks, now this one for a couple of days, now you need to go the opposite way to get anywhere.
I've been here for months and still get turned around trying to get to the mofucking grocery store.
I have a few people that stop by my office regularly to chat. One of them is incapable of talking about anything that is not him and what's happening in his world. It's really funny (sarcasm). If I am in a mood and I don't ask him any questions about himself, there is quite literally silence until he says "Well, I should get back to work."
okay, i saw this in the randoms this morning but forgot about it. i get the irritation because of who it was that stole the name, BUT it's a super common name/phrase that has been around forever. someone else was bound to use it.

That's why she wasn't invited in the first place!
In any event, she is a giant liar. At lunch, she goes on and on about how she loves the place.
My sister, who I never see and who has been talking up a storm about how she wants to spend more time with the boys while we're in town, hung out with us for a grand total of 20 minutes before she went to take a "short nap." That was two hours ago.

Do you live in a Bluth development? Haha

I don't know what this means, but I'm sure it is something ridiculous, so I'll go with yes.
