The simple things you hate in life.

People talking through bluetooth headset.

It always looks like they're talking to themselves before you realize there's a headset. Makes you think you're beside some crazy person.
 
Applies to dudes, too.

Stop fucking wearing cologne/axe to the gym, asshole.



Men can stink to the high heavens of body spray, its better than the alternative (if thats why they use so much) of BO.


I swear the last bastion of the social terrorist is smell. No longer can they be loud and weird because we are listening to our MP3 players, no longer can they make a visual scene because we are all on our phones/kindles and touching isn't a sustainable way of pissing people off, you are going to get into trouble pretty quick. So they smell of shit and sweat to get us. Fuckers.

This may seem like paranoia, but i have chosen to believe smelly people are part of a grand conspiracy to make our lives worse.

I would rather them use a bluetooth headset than a speaker phone. A) I don't want to hear both sides of your conversation and B) Speaker phones are typically loud and obnoxiously shitty speakers.

Speaker phone is worse definitely, but at least I know they're talking to someone.

Hang nails
 
Gum. it should be banned
fucking loud ringtones, does it really need to be THAT loud? really?
slurping
when flash ads load up on webpages, and it moves the pages up/down because of the ad.

I hate how I can't buy anything at retail, except things like groceries, gas, etc. I know in the back of my mind if I buy something I can almost always get it cheaper online off amazon or another site. It just sucks not being able to go into target and blind buy something and not feel immediate regret when I step out of the door.

I have returned things because I could get them $10 cheaper on amazon. That feeling of regret is awful.
 
We all get annoyed by unexpected simple things in our daily lives that manage to annoy us for an instant. Be at home, at work or just in a particuliar situation. Minor things that no one really complains about.

To me, it has to be sneezing while urinating. Its annoying the hell outta me, I either try to finish my job earlier while I hold the sneeze reaction off, or try to stop urinating, wich is awful when you're in the middle of it. It happens from time to time.


What are the simple things you hate? And please, don't let this turn into 1st world problems thing.

As George Carlin said, "It's impossible to sneeze while pissing. It can't be done!"
 
The last few drops of gas the dribble out from the pump and land on the ground after pulling it out from filling your cars' tank =/

It's like dropping some loose change that's impossible to pick up.
 
The more I learn and gain in intelligence, the more I envy people who didn't pursue knowledge past what they needed to go about their daily lives. Granted a byproduct of this are people who are ignorant of things around them and depending on the place it's like living in time bubbles. But the fact they're happy and content to me just sparks jealously in me. They don't care about what's the largest known star in the universe, they don't care about the political strife going on in the middle east. Not that they don't want to learn, if you tell them they're geniunely interested, but the fact that it ultimately doesn't matter to them. Just...I'm envious

For anyone that's wondering, I recently visited the deep south for a month. So I'm talking True Blood's intro type life. I think I want the simple type life, but I'm too addicted to knowledge and wanting to change the bad to just sit by and let the world sort itself out. Dear god, this might even be pings of elitism on my part....now I'm even more depressed.
 
The more I learn and gain in intelligence, the more I envy people who are "dumb" for lack of better word. The saying of ignorance is bliss is so true, I at times find myself quite envious of people who didn't pursue knowledge past what they needed to go about their daily lives. Granted a byproduct of this are people who are ignorant of things around them and depending on the place live in time bubbles.

It depressed me ALOT.

Mobility scooters, and I increasingly hate every store that makes them freely available to customers.

Unless you have no legs or a real, documentable medical condition, you get to use your shopping time walking like the rest of us.


People using them in amusement parks shouldn't be allowed in without a signed affidavit from a board-certified rheumatologist or orthopedic doctor. A signed dr's note won't suffice, it needs to be a legal freeking document... Don't bring grandma to Disney if she can't ride the rides. FFS, spend an evening with her sharing the stories over a nice meal and a bottle of wine so the rest of us don't have to dive out of your way as we're nearly crushed beneath a geriatric set free on a Handi-Cart.

I get what you are saying. I don't think I am a genius by any means, but I do envy somebody who can live a simple life. Best job I have ever had was a blockbuster cashier. It sucked in some ways, but it beats work in the office any day.

This kind of goes along with my previous complaint, about not being able to go into a store and simply buy something.
 
It's about to be that time of the year when it's dark outside when I leave for school and it'll be dark outside when I leave school to come home.
 
the shit after shower one definitely used to be one of things i hated the most. but i was able to regulate my shits to the same time every day thanks to my daily dose of fiber gummies. i now always shit right after my morning coffee and breakfast before i shower.
 
The floor in front of the urinal having dried piss in it because someone had bad aim.

Actually, I hate going to public restrooms, period. Hearing someone else take a shit is the worst sound in the world to me.

How about being a bathroom brushing your teeth when at the same time not ten feet from you 2-3 guys are dropping deuces? This is the way of bathrooms(heads) on Navy ships, brushing your teeth with that quaint steel of shit lingering about. Not pleasant.
 
-People/groups that stop in the middle of high-traffic walking paths/doors.
-Comcast
-People that urinate on the toilet seat (I mean come on, we are all adults in a professional building here.)
-Comcast
-People that speed up when someone turns on their turn signal so that they cannot switch lanes.
-Comcast
-People that insult/yell/demean retail/restaurant employees like they are a lower class of human.
-Comcast
-People that celebrate stupidity and look down on intelligence.
-Comcast
-Riding the DC Metro’s Red Line
-Comcast
-Having to wait 90 minutes at the doctor’s office even though I always arrive on time for my appointment.
 
People eating loudly.
Having to poop right before you need to go somewhere.

Motherfucking cyclists. I get riding on the roads if you live in a really rural area, but these assholes have miles of extra wide pavement specifically for biking where I live and still insist on making me fucking stop in the middle of the road waiting to be able to pass them.

Yea my best job was working in receiving at Stein Mart before college. I had no debt to the world or anything, I loved what I did (mostly because of all my female coworkers). But the more I learn the weirder things get for me. When I go to buy things now, I tend to overanalyze everything. Like you I really miss being able to just go into a store, buy something and call it a day.

I definitely don't see myself as a genius or anything, but as I said the more I learn and absorb the more I envy the simple life. I also find it harder and harder to articulate and get my point across because I have so many different thoughts about any given situation going off in my head...though that's probably just a mental disorder I haven't had evaluated yet >.>

The worst is sitting at a stop sign or a red light waiting to turn and the cyclist comes up right next to your car on the side which you're turning towards and drives right up next to and on past you as you start to turn, cutting you off.
 
Waiting at a red light, then right as the light turns green, a pedestrian thinks that would be the PERFECT time to start slowly walking. By the time I get to the light, it has turned red already.
