What incomprehensibly ‘irks’ you?

I accidentally miscalculated and ate 1600 calories in Skippy peanut butter bites. It was a pretty small container too. I’m kind of irked at myself for not actually using a calculator before eating them. I thought I was eating around 600 calories.

‘alot’ is not and never has been a word. That non word sets my teeth on edge. It’s not too hard to write “a lot” even for a fuzzy bear with paws.

.....

The Super Bowl. I’m just not a fan of football. Also it has interfered with birthday plans these past two years.

The funny thing is my 6th grade teacher told my class a lot was one word. So for years I spelled it that way until I was corrected. It was pretty weird for a teacher to be telling a class that. This was in 2004 too. So not 30 years ago or anything.

I got a piece of my hair in a mouthful of string cheese the other day. It irked and disgusted me. My hair is super short so I’m not even really sure how it happened. It was definitely mine since it was the right length and color. This was one of the reasons I cut my hair short. Because I kept getting hair in my food.

When reading the jacket on a DVD and it says Academy Award winner and I assume from that the movies are going to be really good. Then I waste my time watching these movies and have to wonder what the academy was thinking when they gave out these awards.

According to Adam Ruins Everything, the winners campaign for their awards, bribing the academy with gifts and such. So the winner isn't the best, but the most persistent.

I was getting kind of annoyed at the lunch I was at today. I was with my moms cousin, and my mom. My moms cousin is super religious which is fine, but she was kind of pushing it on us. She wanted us all to say grace and the diner was busy and I was kind of worried that people were staring at us. Then the only thing she ordered and ate was a cup of yogurt while my mom and I had full meals. Which was just odd. So my mom and I felt really uncomfortable eating in front of her. Then at the end she payed for the bill because “the Bible says to take care of widows.” My mom is a widow. My mom commented on that while we were alone in the car. I think she found it weird.

Yeah, it was just weird. And we said the same things we said last year at the same time of year at the same diner.

Here are a few:
The overuse of the word hero in the media nowadays. The true use of the word is lost in overuse. Spelling quiet as quite. Casual clothes jeans, flip flops etc. in church. Trash dropped at the roadside. I guess a lot of things irritate me...

“Subtle” abuse...

The fact that everyone at work besides me thinks that it’s an issue I’ll be at work on my birthday, and are giving me grief about how I should have taken the day off. I’m off at 10:30AM. Nothings open until 10 anyways. It just seems like a waste of a paycheck to take the day off. Am I seriously the only one who doesn’t mind working at this job?

I did not know that. Thanks for sharing. The two movies I was referring to were 'Fences' (Denzel Washington) and Manchester by Sea (Casey Affleck). I wouldn't have thought that Denzel needed the kudos.

I know I will put people off but I am not much of a fan of American football. When I watch all I see are massive tanks pushing the line back and forth. I far more prefer the Canadian game. The players are smaller and in my observation more athletic. Besides, our field is longer and there are fewer downs and chances to move the ball. Hence it is a much more offensive game. Just my opinion though. Besides, I am more of a La crosse fan anyway.

My PMDD irks me. I know that people with mental illness don’t like to be told to just snap out of things, get over things, and that they are totally fine, and have nothing to worry about. But I personally like hearing these things, and I find them very beneficial to my mental health. I have snapped out of many behavior issues that I had as a teenager just by maturing and becoming an adult. So it’s frustrating when my PMDD is acting up. I plan on just dealing with things as I always do, and just getting things done that need to be done.

My front door (and only way in and out) has been freezing shut requiring my having to melt it with a hair dryer. Rather frightening as how would I get out in an emergency.

I am irked at myself about this sweatshirt I’m wearing. It’s too big and I paid $50 for it. It really stretched out and I cut off the tags without thinking it would stretch out. I should have realized when ordering it that if a men’s small is too big then a women’s large will also be too big since they are pretty much the same size. Now I am stuck with a too big expensive sweatshirt.

It really irks me that people will gossip about others just to be popular in the crowd. They think they are the best when they truly aren't.

The thing that irritates me most about people is leaving the toilet seat up.

It irks me when my manager lowers his voice so only some of my coworkers can hear what he’s saying.

Doctors and doctor's offices. I signed up for an eye doctor appointment on the on line portal. A 1:30 PM appointment was available so I signed up. I get a call from them that the time ISN"T available. So I go back on and pick the 3:00 PM time. They call me and want my insurance information. Well I don't have any so that will be a quick conversation. But they proceed to call me every single day. Since they only work banker's hours, I am never able to call them back when I get the message.

But, I am so sick of this... I work in a job where I am not available during the day, via cell phone or anything else -- THUS I used the online portal. Why do they have an online portal if they are going to be calling me all the time? They should assume there was some reason I chose to use the online portal. AND STOPP CALLING.

Plus I am already so annoyed at their ridiculous obsession about health insurance I am already ready to not go.

Being told by a friend that I should not be depressed with all the years of therapy i have had that it's time to go on in life. She had to be one of those people. I will be more careful with who I share things with thats for sure.

I went to McDonald’s today to get a parfait and an iced coffee. It’s the same one I go to every time I want iced coffee to take to work. I went to the drive thru and placed my order pretty quickly. There were 2 cars ahead of me. I sat in the drive thru line for 5 minutes before leaving. There was something wrong at the window you pay at. I don’t know if a customer was having an issue, or if a manager was trying to train a new employee. But long waits at drive thrus just irk me. Especially when I have to leave them to avoid being late for work and then end up not having anything to eat the entire time I’m at work.

I had a guy find me on FB after he saw my OKC profile, and he asked to be my friend when I told him he wasn't interested in dating me, then when we got to talking about books I said I loved Little Women but it's intended for girls and he went off on me spewing BS about gender equality. DAFUQ!?!?!?

It really irks me to see people leaving there dogs outside in this cold weather longer then nessacarly
