People who drive below the speed limit. Especially in the far left lane. People. Even if there's a visible cop, no one is going to pull you over for going less than 5 mph over the speed limit.
Also throat-clearing. My former roommate was a throat-clearer. Like 10-20 times an hour. It drove me BSC (and I love her).
Coworker who is somewhat junior to me, but who in no way reports to me, keeps asking me if he should tell other people things. Dude, we hired you because you're a smart guy who knows shit. Do whatever you think it right.
Someone from another group we share a kitchenette with keeps her magic bullet blender on the (tiny) counter, and has half the freezer filled up with frozen fruit and whatever else she puts in there. There really isn't room for a smoothie bar in there.
Your text one reminded me of this: people who leave their email notifications on their laptop (sometimes LOUD) during meetings/seminars/etc. RAGE. Drives me crazy.
There is another student here that has to be involved in every damn conversation that everyone has. He also has this smug facial expression that he uses after he says something.
The residents discretely commented to me how he is annoying lol.
I want to tell him to shut the fuck up. His voice was seriously making me cringe that I had to just look away before I did something evil.
People that drive too slowly in the left lane. People that slam on their breaks FOR NOTHING THERE IS NOTHING THERE WHAT THE FUCK DUDE? People that drive over the center line, particularly around a curve. JUST BECAUSE THE ROAD IS NARROW DOES NOT MEAN YOU CAN DRIVE IN THE MIDDLE THERE IS PLENTY OF ROOM IF YOU STAY IN YOUR FUCKING LANE. School buses. Yeah, I went there. SEPTA buses. Because, well. People that pull out (heh) in front of you and cut you off.
Can you tell I had a rough commute this morning?
I feel you. All of this sounds like my commute every day. People cut me off (WHEN THERES NO ONE BEHIND ME) and go 15+ under the speed limit, causing me to have to slam on my brakes. Almost daily.
One of my coworkers has a beverage container as pictured below.
He keeps it to the side of where his computer is at his desk.
He keeps it filled with half iced tea, and half diet Coke.
He makes a HUGE production of wheeling his chair over to where the bottle is, pops open the top, leans back in his chair and CHUGS it, while the bottle makes glug glug glug sounds. And then he sighs a loud sigh after he's done drinking. And then pops the top closed when he's done.
It happens multiple times throughout the day and it DRIVES ME INSANE.
He also has a little bottle with V8 in it that he brings in every day, and he'll actually stand up to drink it and lean as far back as he can to get every little fucking drop out of the bottle.
My CWer who has had a sandy vagina for the past week. Today he was supposed to have formulations written out for me to make up in the lab first thing this morning. Took him till 11:15 when I was walking out the door for lunch to finally get them to me.

Slow walkers. Seriously put a little pep in your step people. I'm just trying to walk through the cafe to refill my water, I can't handle your leisurely strolling in my way.

What is a sandy vagina???
Imagine how cranky you'd be if you had sand in your vagina.
Also, my uterus appears to be trying to turn itself inside out. And couldn't wait until tomorrow when DH will be home to take kid duty while I go hide in a dark room with my ibuprofen and a heating pad.
We are hanging out with SIL/BIL/kids on Sunday. I love hanging out with them. We relax and have a few drinks, laugh and their kids take care of mine. Now FIL and his gf are coming. They're nice and all, but the relationships are all very superficial and I'm bummed about it. But DH adores his dad (he can do no wrong, even though he does PLENTY wrong) so I won't tell him about my disappointment.
My new coworker who, as it turns out, is also a compulsive liar. He throws little tid bits out about himself that don't add up.
Ex. He is young and had a previous job for 5 years. Today he was talking about being a store manager before that and handling three stores at a time. NO YOU WERE NOT A STORE MANAGER AT 15!
I get irritated by him simply walking past my desk so this may not seem that annoying to others.

I have a work complaint: Contractor just asked for additional labour costs that are through the roof. He took precisely 6 days to do the work (only had access for 6 days). I broke down the math on all of his labour rates and figured that with two shifts (all he has access to) he would have had to have had up to 12 electricians working in a 10 x 10ft room for 6 days straight to have amassed that much labour.
This is not physically possible. I am annoyed that anyone would insult me so badly as to submit this as an honest to God quote. Especially when I visited the site and there were like 3 guys there. I'm furious.
My uterus feeling like it's about to crash through my abdomen Kool-Aid Man style is annoying me today. This is my last period cramp complaining day for the month, so I have to make sure I complain to H so he'll buy me cookies.
Also. "People who quote themselves on their facebook pages are super annoying. You are not that important, and what you are saying isn't that groundbreaking." ~everyjuan
Know what I find even more annoying? I have a friend who is constantly posting jokes as his FB statuses. Except none of them are original and none have attribution. Drives me NUTS.
Examples:
Going to McDonald's for a salad is a lot like going to a prostitute for a hug.
Marriage is a relationship in which one person is always right and the other is the husband.
Claustrophobic homosexuals must have a hard time staying in the closet.
NONE of these is original material. I've heard them before in various places. Fucking put quotes around it or something. No, he just likes to let his FB friends think he's hilarious, when in reality he's just spending too much time on the internet reading other people's jokes. (and also a plagiarizer.)

the finance person who has no idea about property expenses but went over my budgets with a fine tooth comb. Hey lady, I've been doing this for almost 15 years, don't question my shit.

My cousin does this too. Most of his friends think he's hilarious, but it looks like a few of them have been around the internet for more than, you know, a day, so they passively call him out.

Oh, I've outright called him out on it. I believe I said, "Do you ever post anything original? Or attribute your jokes to their authors?" And I think he said, "Sometimes."
