What drives you nuts?

I hate it when people walk past my house. I am very territorial and sometimes I just want to bark at them and snap at their ankles! Get off my land!

Oh and I also don't like mobile phone ring tones. A phone should bloody well ring like a, well, a phone, dammit...

Makes me irrate! Makes me cross! Grrrrrr!

AND, footballs. I really don't like footballs, (or football, or footballers, or football shirts or the love of football in any guise).

Loud voices - don't like loud voices. Prawns - don't like prawns. Maths and numbers - don't like them! Children - yuck. Buses - why are they not on time? Shoddy service in shops - don't get me started....Body piercing - OMG that's so nasty. Hooligans - string em up! Vandals - death penalty!

Er, what else...(*thinking*)

lol! I could not agree more

I mean honestly, the more conventional cell phone rings are bad enough. I recall when I was using one I had the ringer set to something ressembling a bird chirp because it was the least obstrusive and most "normal" choice available...

Even worse are those people who feel the need to set their cell phone rings to something like a midi rendition of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.

Sacrilege! Such individuals should be dragged to the gallows!

My neighbors. They own a personal car-painting business and run it in their well-furnished sports garage, and they're up during the wee hours of the night on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays with all the T.V.s on loud and all the noise of all the cars that the teenagers who visit there like to show off.

THAT is what sets me off.

I can think of something much worse than that...

...I hated that ring tone version of the Titanic theme song... more so since there are a lot of people here in Thailand who use that bloody tone for their phones.

To add more insult, some of them would even wait a while longer to answer their stupid phones.

About the phones, I have found one instance that rocked. A temp IT guy had his cell phone sound set to an almost perfect replica of the old non pulse dial phones. When his phone would ring everyone would wonder where the extra phone came from because it did NOT sound like a cell phone.. no midi straight replica.

I'll stay clear of you and you stay clear of me...

Other then that...I can't think of anything that drives me nuts... Nothing that makes me hysterical or hyperactive at least...

I understand, Karembeu, so let's agree to disagree on this topic!

I'm rather contrary and tend to dislike lots of popular things and like lots of unpopular things (like pouring rain, Marmite, odd people, boy bands, Celine Dion, Cliff Richard, etc, etc!)

What about Cliff Richard and the Young Ones, that always cracks me up

At the moment, in holland, every freaking teen has got a mobile phone (why?!) and sometimes when your drinking coffee in a cafe (because University coffee is distilled sewage) there is a group of people with the average age of 12 and they are letting the others in the group hear what great ringtones they have.

So your in a cafe, listening to the most idiotic versions of today's top 100. AAAARGGGGHHHHH! and this can go on for half an hour or so.

(Must kill!, must see them bleeeeeeed!)

Well, by gosh and by golly, here are some things that really tick me off.

1. C@ckroaches. The blasted things are designed to piss people off. First, their bodies are very flat, making it possible for even the biggest ones to crawl into impossibly tiny places to escape death, which, by the way, is my second point: they're damn good at escaping extermination. Third: for every one of those things you see, there are thousands more. I developed a serious vendetta against c@ckroaches during the few years I spent in the pest control business in the steamy Southern US. Death to all roaches!

2. People who wear a coat and tie on the weekends. Come on, it's the weekend, for Pete's sake. The 1950's ended 44 years ago.

3. William Shatner.

4. Bite-sized dogs. You know, the kind that are no larger than your foot, and bark incessantly - producing a very annoying "yap yap yap" sound. Invariably, such animals are named "Fifi", "Muffy", etc. Often they attempt to attack your shoelaces, or even worse, savage your ankles. All deserve to be kicked across the room on sight.

5. "Tropical" Sprite. Yuck. Almost as bad as Mountain Dew.

6. Telemarketers. If I want something, I'll call you, don't call me. Death to all telemarketing companies!

As you can tell, I'm a very irritatable mood right now.

They should all be butchered with a butterknife. The same goes for the authors of those cookie-slamming spads (spam + ad

) that hammer you with 8 open windows simultaneously...for them, death is not good enough. They should be administered paralytic drugs which render them helpless as hour upon hour of Barney videos are force fed into their nasty little minds.

Auto Correct ability in MSWord !!

I was typing a business letter. The postcode of the company was IG6 4TH and the stupid Word keeps correcting it to the 4TH, as "fourth".
It's a postcode, dammit!!

When it happens to me, I usualy wonder if I, at that moment, finaly get what it would be like to have a stammer.

People finishing your sentences and words while you don't mean what THEY are saying.

Awww - what is CUTE if it's not a demented little yorkshire terrier called Muffy who wears a little tartan coat and a bow in it's hair and thinks it's hard enough to take out a big grown men!

Awww - little dogs - so "characterful"!

Well I am still a Yorkshire something, lost the pedigree along the way, I don't think they have a kennel club name for this breed yet!

@Yshania: I would not characterize you as a Yorkshire Terrier. If you *must* be a Yorkshire something...perhaps Yorkshire pudding, but not that blasted little canine mutation of a fur ball. I mean, I thought terriers were orginally bred to kill rats...hell, a Yorkie can barely hold their own against a bloody cat, let alone a rat! Give me a Scottish Terrier any day.

@Enchantress: So, you're a Yorkie, eh? *kick*
