1. Eating With Your Mouth Open!

I really just want to slap people who do that-so gross!

[debm55]

3. You got that right. Agree and thank you ScoutHikerDad.

[Raven123]

2. Chronically arriving late.

Happens to all of us occasionally, but some people just can’t plan, or just don’t care.

[debm55]

5. That is very true. Thank you Raven123.

41. I am one of those obsessively on time people.

It comes in no small part from having spent ten years as an airline ticket agent at DCA. Trust me, airlines care a great deal that flights are on time. If a flight was late, every single minute of the delay had to be attributed to some employee or group of employees. Two minutes to ground handlers (meaning they were slow at opening the cargo doors), three minutes to unloading (five minutes was the allowed time, this took longer), then it loads and the doors close on time. Alas, there's a delay, so five minutes delay now gets blamed on Air Traffic Controls. During the flight, those minutes are made up, but now there's a delay approaching the airport. Six minutes blamed on air traffic control.

I think you get the idea. Being on time is wonderful, fabulous, and everyone should always be on time everywhere. Really, they should. And keep this in mind the next time your flight or bus trip or trip somewhere is delayed.

[SWinter]

4. Lying.

[debm55]

6. This one is so true. Thank you SWinter and welcome to DU.

[3catwoman3]

18. I would consider that more of a character flaw than a habit.

[anciano]

7. Interrupting others in a conversation

before they can even finish what they are trying to say.

[debm55]

9. Yes, very annoying. Thank you, anciano.

[Ocelot II]

8. Jiggling their leg, constantly clicking a ball-point pen, saying "like" all the time.

[debm55]

11. Agree on all three, Ocelot II. Especially the "like"

[markodochartaigh]

10. I'm 100% non-jumped up, working class.

The only habit that I judge as unacceptable is voting against worker rights, minority rights, or democracy.
Other than that, I'm not really that bothered by anything.

[debm55]

14. Thank you markodochartaigh. I also find it annoying that people vote aggainst their own best interests.

[Turbineguy]

12. Farting in an elevator.

[debm55]

15. HAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA. Thank you Turbineguy.

[msongs]

13. write a song about it and get a big hit lol - I whip my hair back and forth etc

?si=ltrCVWX2PRIRhwRk

[debm55]

19. Is that real?????????? Thank you, msongs

[JBTaurus83]

16. Interupting

While someone else is speaking. Also turning every conversation into something that happened to them that was better or worse. I call those people “one uppers”.

[debm55]

25. So true, so true. I agree with you JBTaurus83. Thank you for sharing.

[SheltieLover]

17. Never shutting the fuck up.

Ever known someone who talks non-stop every waking moment?

They're exhausting.

[debm55]

26. Thank you very much SheltieLover. I agree with you 100%

[JBTaurus83]

40. That is so stressful

I’m a relatively quiet person, and I think some people fear any type of silence.

[SheltieLover]

43. Same here & I only speak when I have something to say.

[Diamond_Dog]

52. SheltieLover, I couldn't agree more about non stop talkers.

[SheltieLover]

60. Gawd. Don't they realize they have nothing to say that's of value?

[Diamond_Dog]

62. My late b-i-l was a compulsive talker

and told long winded stories plus he talked slowly, plus he told the same stories over and over again! You’re right, it’s exhausting to be around someone like that.

[johnp3907]

20. Continually saying "What?" or "Huh?" after something is said to them.

When I notice that someone with no hearing issues does this a lot I stop responding. I don't repeat what I just said, and the vast majority of times they then respond to what I'd orininally said, proving that they heard what I said in the first place and that the "What" or "Huh" was more like a "Ummmm...." or a "Hmmmm..."

[debm55]

27. Thank you , johnp3907. That would piss me off.

[Aristus]

21. People who use a catch phrase as a substitute for personality.

For example: Someone who exclaims: "Oh my-LANTA!" long after it stopped being funny.

Pick the most annoying catch phrase you hear constantly, and insert.

[debm55]

28. Thank you Aristus. I agree. I can't think of any others.

[LogDog75]

22. Using Yada-Yada-Yada as if it means anything

If you can complete the thought without resorting to Yada-Yada-Yada, then just keep quiet.

[debm55]

29. Agree with you LogDog75. The Yada-Yada-Yada ship sailed long ago.

[catbyte]

23. People who say, "You know?" and/or "You know what I mean?" at the end of a sentence.

No, no I don't. Stop it.
I just thought of another one. When people say "whenever" when they should say "when." Come on. When means a single event, whenever means you did or saw something multiple times.

Does that make me old? If so, GET OFF MY LAWN!

[debm55]

24. HAHHAHAHAH. I know what you mean LOL. and the word "like". Thank you catbyte. And I am in the get off my grass age too.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

30. If it's a cute, long-haired girl doing it around me...

... I'm not at all annoyed. I feel like I'm too old to assume she's flirting, however. So I instead say, "SASSY!", but non-verbally (in my imagination only).


Like this:

As for what annoys me lately, I think it's mostly my coworkers who seem to demand praise from others without reciprocating, despite how others are objectively more deserving of it. It was never this bad years ago. I think there's a growing narcissism problem in this country, not just in the White House. Maybe social media is helping to create more praise and self-confirmation addicts?
🤷‍♂️

[debm55]

31. These are women doing this. I always think---tie your hair back, Thank you Buckeye_Democrat

[ProfessorGAC]

32. Popping Gum

Chew the gum in silence, please.

[debm55]

36. Agree, ProfessorGAC. That is very annoying.

[Mike Nelson]

34. Feel bad for them, but I can't stand...

[debm55]

35. Thank you very much, Mike Nelson.

[sinkingfeeling]

37. Crunching ice.

[JoseBalow]

38. Complaining about other people

[debm55]

47. No one mentioned any names,

[Ziggysmom]

39. Chewing their nails. Yuk!

So gross.

[debm55]

48. Agree. Thank you Ziggysmom.

[Pinback]

42. Talking during a concert

— particularly a quiet one. I’ve been known to share my feelings about the issue with the people yakking behind me, which is generally not well received but does get them to shut the hell up.

[debm55]

49. Good for you, Pinback. That goes for talking during movies.too

[Solly Mack]

44. Not worshipping me properly.

[debm55]

50. I don't understand

[Solly Mack]

55. There's good worship and there's annoying (bad) worship.

There's also not being serious, and I wasn't.

[debm55]

65. Oh. Thank you Solly Mack.

[Orrex]

56. Look, I left the sack of eels on your doorstep exactly according to sacred writ

What more do you want from me?

[Solly Mack]

57. You didn't sing the song. You never sing the song.

[Orrex]

58. *Sigh* I can't hit those notes, but I'll try next time

[Solly Mack]

59. Well, OK. The eels were nice.

[hydrolastic]

45. People that move their hands in and out like they are playing an accordion

While they are talking shit about people.

[debm55]

51. HAHAHHAHAH, I really understand that one. Thank you hydrolastic.

[tanyev]

46. Related to yours--the long hair is divided in two sections, most of it hanging down in front

on either side, and then constantly running their hands through it as if to rearrange it. Lady, that hair is in exactly the same place it was before you “fixed” it, so what are you doing? If you’re going to do anything to it, flip it back behind your shoulders, otherwise leave it alone.

There’s a contestant on the new Dancing With The Stars season that does this. It’s probably a nervous habit, but it really is annoying to watch during her interviews.

[debm55]

53. Thank you very much tanyev. I totally agree.

[Mister Ed]

54. "Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah".

It's become increasingly commonplace to use this phrase the way "mmm-hmm" or "uh-huh" have long been used - interjecting it periodically into a conversation just to show that one is attentive and listening, and is following what the speaker is saying. It has the opposite effect, though, making it seem as though the person rapidly saying "yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah" is bored or annoyed with the speaker.

[debm55]

66. I totally agree. Thank you Mister Ed. It is very annoying..

[True Dough]

61. Hey deb,

You can add my annoying posts to your list of annoying habits!

[debm55]

67. HAHAHhAHaHhahhhaha. That is funny. And your posts are NOT annoying.

[justaprogressive]

63. I happen to like

when a woman flicks her long hair After all I flick MY long hair,
why shouldn't they???

Now SNIFFLING on the other hand, that could drive anybody crazy!

[debm55]

64. Yes, sniffling is a very annoying habit. Thank you, justaprogressive.
