What incomprehensibly ‘irks’ you?

Today at work I had to train the new person and she was nice enough but she acted like I was being nosy when I asked her questions or offered her suggestions. Yet she would ask me similar questions. It kind of irked me. I just feel like I can’t ask anyone anything personal without them thinking I’m being nosy and sticking my nose where it doesn’t belong. But people ask me the same questions and I’m fine with it.

And then people complain when I’m not being social too.

comercials that advertise big, good quality products (the picture in the comercial looks amazing)

but then, when you get the product, and try it for yourself, you realise it's only half the size and it doesn't even look like the picture

false advertising much?

and the same goes for movies

you see a trailer of a must see movie- and they really big it up

but the movie is ****

lack of christmas spirit.

people that have been on for weeks about oh I can't wait until the first december, I can't wait to play christmas music, I can't wait to decorate, I can't wait for what ever... and then when it's eventually time they have a face like a wet weekend and honestly can't be bothered

People that have nothing better to do then to critise me for who i am and what I used to be. I have to again be careful who I trust as a friend thankfully the rest of the group are that way, however it angers me people rather base there friendships on Gossip thats very old news and most of it is not true

when people call an elevator a "lift"

if it's taking you down for instance, how the **** can it be called a lift

it can lift you up, but it can't lift you down

urg being from england is painful sometimes

when you get a free sample through the post, and someone's like.. oh please can I use it?. can I try it out?

so you let them because you're nice and they end up using most of the free sample leaving none for yourself

People who post motivational quotes or post stuff on what not to do in life when they do the exact same things they are saying not to do. I’m not sure if these people don’t realize what they are doing, or if they just really are that stupid.

when classic kid shows (noddy, bob the builder, fireman sam, thomas the tank) what ever get remade

it's the exact same show just with diffrent actors

their's nothing wrong with the originals. really

it also irks me that they are making a live action version of the lion king

no. that movie is animated. leave it be

when people tell jokes but mess up the punchline so it sounds ****

the crazy frog has done a version of we wish you a merry christmas

that, and jinglebells

talk about headache material

People not driving to the winter conditions in too big of a rush and causing accidents every where

Hmmm yeah but does it only elevate you? Just a thought.

when people use the word "loose" in place of "lose"

I was at the mall today and my mom and I took the escalator downstairs. The guy behind us decided to take the stairs that were in the middle of the escalators. He kept turning around and giving us weird/dirty looks. My mom noticed it too and she usually just says I’m imagining stuff like that or being paranoid. We both thought he was judging us for taking the escalator. The thing is this guy wasn’t even all that fit. people really need to learn to MYTOB.

This is one of my biggest pet peeves. The escalator is for standing still. I hate when someone gets on the escalator and expects me to walk up and down the stairs. Um... that is the point of the escalator. If you want to do that... use the stairs.

The negative treatment of retail workers. This just gets worse the nearer we approach Christmas Day. It is not my personal fault you could not find what you were looking for. Neither is it my fault there is little parking left in the lot. It certainly isn't my fault the store is so busy - do you not realise that by coming yourself you have added to this? It is not my fault you had a crummy experience with another customer. It is not my fault you have waited and now we are out of stock. It is not my fault you came for two items and left with a cart full (god, if I only had a dollar for every time I hear this). It is not my fault that all the power scooters are already in use (no, I will not ask someone to get off of one so you can use it).It is not my fault there is a line up at returns. No, while your time may be valuable to you that doesn't give you right to jump the lines...

And no, the customer is not always right.

Remember, it costs zero dollars to smile and thank the person serving you.

when movies/ tv shows use existing songs, change the lyrics, and then pass them off as their own

a few examples:

in the muppet's christmas carol, their's a song called "bless us all", which, I thought, was an original song by the muppets- that is, until I looked up the lyrics and found actually, the song is called "when love is gone", and is sung by martina mcbride

also, in touched by an angel, in the episode "psaalm151", one of the sceens shows the kid, peter, playing a song to monica- which he claims his mother is writing

the song, in question, "testify to love", by winonna judd, wasn't even changed for the show- so it sort of takes away from the story (I think)

when people have a sore throat and are told to rest and try to be quiet, but actually do the oppositte- be loud, laugh, scream, etc.

they arn't going to get better by going against their doctors advice- that's like saying you have the flu and need to sit in the warm and rest, but go out to the park on a cold rainy day in shorts

when people don't clean up after themselves in the bathroom

you go in and their's toilet paper all over the seat, their's a puddle of urine on the floor, just makes it really gross for the next person

when those sites that send you free stuff email you offers that only are accessible if you have facebook or twitter

I just find it a little restricting- especially when you think those sort of offers from big brands should be accessible to everyone

people that are hungry and ask constantly is it ready, is it ready, is it ready, is it ready, then when the food is ready turn round and say okay, I'll have it later

grrr

When a fast food place keeps going on and insisting it’s a better deal if you order your food this way rather then the way you had asked.

For example, I am aware that it would save me money if I ordered a large drink instead of a small drink, but I really just want the small one.

when things like harrybo release a packet of sweets just because of a certain event.

I mean I get it- events like the olympics, and the world cup are important events.

what I don't understand, however, is when they release the exact same sweets (the exact ssame), just in the shape of a ball.

if you're going to release sweets for events, at least try and be original

that everytime their's big news about the royal family, it turns in to a big pubblic holiday

a royal is having a kid- everyone stop what you're doing

a royal has been admitted to hospital- stop what you're doing

the royals are getting married- stop what you're doing

the royals are moving house- stop what you're doing

the only acception where I generally think this is okay is if the queen dies, an important key figure in the royal family dies (an important figure, not someone who doesn't do anything), or the christmas speech.
