Here are a couple more.

-People who have to always be the center of attention. If you don't know what I am talking about, these people are always the loudest voice in the room, they try to dominate every conversation, and they are always right (just ask them)

-People who stand over my shoulder when I am reading. People who interrupt me when I am reading

-my fellow employees, who, on their day off, feel compelled to bring their little brats over to the office.

When I think of more, I will post them.

My Dad brought me to work a couple times when I was a kid :lol: . What I am referring to are a couple of different employees who bring their kids in regularly, like every week. The kids run around and make noise, I was coming out of the break room once with a cup of hot chocolate and this two or three year old ran right into me, spilling the hot cocoa all over me, and a little on him. The kid started howling like a wounded animal, and the mother gave ME a dirty look?!!WTF!!

The other is a Mom of a newborn who brings the kid in once every three days. All the women in the office get up and crowd around her and the baby, talk stupid jibberish to the baby and make noises. Once in a while is fine, but when it gets this frequent I start to get irked.

Heres another pet-peeve. How about having your favorite football team totally suck for the past three seasons! Yep, the Browns just got it handed to them again, this time on ESPN in front of the whole country.

Here is another. People who have a bumper sticker on their car that reflects their views on every single issue, National or World. People who have that stupid decal of the comic character Calvin taking a piss on whatever NASCAR drivers # they don't like, or on a type of car or pick-up truck manufacturer they don't like (Rednecks do this). And lastly, people who get a custom decal made to remember one of their dead friends. "In Loving Memory of .......... 1975-2004" It turns their car into a rolling obituary. I find these decals classless.

I got a catalog yesterday with Blue Jeans in it--there were the regular jeans&some that looked worn with rips. The ripped&worn ones were $10 more expensive than the good ones! ???
I can just buy the regular jeans&rip them myself, and save 10 buck! :D

People that touch their wrist when they want to know what time is it....i mean...when you want to go to the bathroom you grab your thing?

When at the movies someone asks "did you see that?" i am like....noooooooooooooooo i paid a lot of money to come and watch the ceiling....

When somebody calls to my house i answer and they say "where are you?"

Another thing about jeans--at least the ladies--each brand has a different size standard. I mean, if you wear a size 6 in one brand, in another you might wear a 4, then another you have to get a 10 or 8 in order to get a good fit. :? The sizes are not uniform throughout the jeans industry.
I'm glad other clothes are not like this!
