things that erk me

[can]

ever notice how when you go to turn the water on in the shower, no matter what temp you have setted, the first couple of seconds worth of water that come out is freezing??? you kind of have to expect it after a while... :eek:
Does anyone else have daily things that "erk" them??

[xtristessax]

people who do not clean their ears?!?!?! why? yeah that bothers me.

[Etherspin]

I must learn to never ever mention any ailment and cover up anything like a cut, allergic reaction when im at work.. two ladies in their late 40's work there and every single possible thing they try to get me putting on a custom remedy .. im all for alternative medicine but these are just over the top, soak your head in tea, put your wrist in porridge , look for a noodle without "insert chemical name here" and they are so enthused bout it i go along with it then when i turn up next time "how did it go, let me see".... kill me..

[justafan]

daily things that erk me....
listening to someone chewing(so I avoid being around people when they eat).

[Etherspin]

a lot of the people i work with grind their back teeth..

heehee.. I erk you. You know that cleaning your ears is just really waxing the inside of them right? That q-tip gets that ear canal all nice and shiny, layer after layer. Leading up to greater conductive hearing loss in your older years.I think I only rebel from ear cleaning because my sister was a compulsive ear cleaner when I was younger.


Hmmm... mine would be the sound dogs make when they lick themselves. That'll wake me from a deep sleep.

[Harmeister]

Stupid drivers.

You know the ones, the really *really* stupid ones.

when you are putting mustard from a squirt bottle on a sandwich, and that nasty water stuff comes out first... thats just gross for some reason.

Always shake the bottle well first. ;)

People who park inconsiderately really pisses me off.

i don't use q-tips either, however, i do take the time to wipe around the entrance to the ear canal with a wash cloth or something. but hey, whatever works for you. but i live in a college town with a lot of hippies who fail to clean anything, and thats the worst!

geee...you mean like double parking..yea..that pisses me off also..:)

[Cozmo D]

No, not double parking. Around here peeps only do that for a short while or they'll get a ticket. I'm talking about people who will see a space big enough for 2 cars and will park smack in the middle, waisting a space. Tha shit drives me up the wall! :mad:

[Chief]

thank god i live in the midwest....

[Louis85]

I get pissed with stupid drivers who drive two miles an hour in front of me because they're gabbing on the celly. :( That or when I am driving on a road doing say 55 MPH, and some car is on a side street and waits 'til I get close to the intersection and they decide to pull out in front of me at the last moment. That SUX. :(

(I guess I have a bit of the Road Rage thing.)

You have reminded me of one thing that irks me...
Being engulfed in a noxious cloud of patchouli!

[The_Kay_Dee]

People that leave their young (age 4-11) children home alone.

[can]

people who act like they are better than you, just because you serve them, or check out their groceries... people like that suck

[xtristessax]

people who judge me only by the way i look.

[Etherspin]

people who try to 2 dimensionalize u ... ohh you are exactly like my brother in law.. ohh you must like such and such ... Ill bet you would "insert phrase here" know what i mean ???

[Wheeljak]

I get that a lot. There's always someone telling me that I look just like somebody they know. I just hope that my host of doppelgangers are making a good impression on people.

Just once, I'd like to hear somebody say, "You remind me so much of that guy that I sent on an all-expenses paid trip around the world! I'll bet you'd like that too, wouldn't you?"

[Is*it*my*turn]

I guess this really does happen to everyone! I was at a party once and I was chatting with this lovely girl... feeling good... and when I told her I was studying mathematics she said "Wow, my brother is EXACTLY like you! He has a degree in chemistry!"

My reply? "That's nice." Then I walked away. Obviously she wasn't for me.

Could have been worse I suppose... usually when I told people (esp. girls) what I was studying they would politely excuse themselves and take off running. I found that if I told people I was studying history or greek mythology or some such thing then we would spend the next hour having a great conversation. I never did understand why we couldn't have had the same conversation if I had mentioned the "M" word.

By the way: What irks me is when people spell "irk" with an "e". ;)

blow drying my hair, and then when i go to stand up, getting dizzy

[Is*it*my*turn]

When the toothpaste falls off the toothbrush before it gets to your mouth.

I actually had someone come out and say , BORING then sorta realise they had overstepped !! think perhaps she had drunk a couple already .. then she tried to make out she was being sarcastic... kill me !!

[Cozmo D]

You go to the wrong Champagne Rooms! ;) :p :D

Aw, c'mon, Coz. Everyone knows that strippers are far too modest to have sex with strangers.

[xtristessax]

ha! again with the humour!

[Foxy11]

Complainers...especially those who volunteer to do shit and then complain about it the whole time...HELLO...you don't have to do it...

sorry...having a moment here

[can]

when you get to sleep in, and then you end up staying up late, because you slept in... throws off my sleeping pattern.

[Etherspin]

when im watching my weight and i go 2 stay a few days with a friend who snacks every 40 minutes from the time he wakes at ten am to 2pm in the morning and stays slim.. ohh and staying up watching tv there screws my sleeping pattern (see above post!)
