What Things In Life Irritate You?

 

I know I’m not perfect. I usually find this out right after certain things irritate me. When an adult smacks their food, I get irritated. When I lose my keys, I get irritated. And when the alarm clock forgets to go off for some reason, I get irritated.

What things in life irritate you?

    The sound of a phone ringing.
    All my kids talking to me at the same time.
    My kids fighting with one another.
    My husband yelling at the kids.

        when people talk during movies and ask all these questions, that if they just shut their mouths, would find out…it annoys the heck out of me. Also, when people start texting in the middle of class and they sit right at the front in front of the professor..i'm like are you serious? And one more for me, is the annoying kid who asks a million pointless questions in class..so frustrating lol.

    People driving at or below the speed limit in the far left lane or semi-trucks using the left lane to pass other semi-trucks while climbing a hill!

        Even though I obey the law now and always do the speed limit, I know how you feel! Left lane is for passing, if you're not passing – go to the right! It's empty just for you!

          People who obviously didn't buy the "option" of turn signals on their car/truck/suv. Annoys the crap out of me.

          and my boss sucks on ice all day.. that can get pretty irritating..

    Most recently, spoons, or rather the lack of. All of the sudden, I have like four serving spoons and two regular spoons. That's it. I don't know why this happens. And it's not like they're just dirty. Oh no. They're completely missing. I'd bet that if I went into my daughter's room, I'd find at least half of the missing spoons. Yeah. That's irritating. I'll never be able to have a nice flatware set in my house. Never…ever. Hmmmph!
