Little things that annoy the hell out of you

[M.Knight]

The "should of" thing pisses me off as well. As a non-native speaker that learnt how to properly use "should have", it is even more jarring for me whenever native speakers start making me doubt. It is even worse with "you're/you are" and "your".
That said, I am sure there are lot of similar cases of popular mistakes done by native speakers for every single language including mine (French), so I am not particularly ranting against English speakers.

You should off him.

Well said!

Final results of the eBay selling fiasco: Nothing sold, $25 in a gift code that I wasn't able to use in time. Hooray!

Nosebleeds. I'm genetically predisposed towards them and they're super annoying, especially since most people seemed to think they're actually a serious situation, and/or a result of cocaine abuse. (There was this horrible anti-drug commercial where a girl gets a nosebleed in class, with the punchline being: "Still think you can control it?" Fuck them, I've gotten drug-free nosebleeds in class my whole life).

The worst is when they're a result of strenuous shitter activity. (I plan to compile my ass-related complaints in a to-be bestselling politico-autobiography once I'm elected to public office. And obviously I'll use them as critical ammo when I meet St. Peter.)

Following a full day of work, show up at job interview I scheduled last week. Fill out application I'm handed. Wait. Wait some more. Finally get called into manager's office.

"The guy who's interviewing you called out today, he'll be in touch to schedule another appointment."

The high hopes for the future in today's vibrant labor market just keep on coming.

Nosebleeds.

Do you have them when you see a hot girl?

Nosebleeds.

Lol now that is full blown anime style. Ive seen it in manga, anime and games, but never seen it in real life. I wonder if there are people like that out there.

Yah, hate to disappoint, but hot girls are not common stimuli for my nosebleeds.

Spoiler

I have had sorta awesome and unrestrained nosebleeds during excellent, athletic sex, however. Promoted a sort of hot voodoo feeling.

Women on dating sites who list themselves as graduates and their profession as Barista who aren't angry or feel cheated.

BITCH! NIP YO'SELF!

I've made evident in the past my disdain for people who pass off their non-assist dogs as such by putting vests on them and riding the bus, entering stores, etc in this state. Today I wasn't so much upset as I was puzzled when I saw a guy who needs an oxygen tank to breathe, lighting up a cigarette as soon as he got off the bus.

Am I missing something there?

[BulletMagnet]

No, I think the story kind of speaks for itself there.

I recently encountered a fake service dog on the sidewalk, growling and barking at my 2 year old. Owner acted annoyed at us for some reason.

So last night, around 1:30 or 2am, the CO alarm that's right outside my bedroom went off and scared the crap outta me. Turns out it was low on batteries and just needed a change.

My WiiU is being an asshole and refusing to recognize the signal from the router sitting RIGHT NEXT TO IT. Also that the WiiU doesn't have an ethernet port. Never had a problem until like a month ago.

[President_Obama]

I'd like to see a Eugenics policy that includes the eradication of beatboxers and Dom Joly.

[LordHypnos]

Fucking non-sequitur arguments, man! I hate it when I'm trying to make a point, and then some asshole latches on to some totally tangential information to what I'm trying to say that does nothing to refute my fucking argument, and acts as if they just proved me wrong about something while totally missing the point, then when I explain to them that they missed the point they don't get that they missed the point at all!
Fuck!

[President_Obama]

Yes, I hate that. That and fallacies and false equivalences. And you're correct, they're usually followed by chest puffing and condescending remarks completely oblivious the fact they've just made an absolute fuckhat of themselves. Irrational fucking morons.

Never argue with an idiot, onlookers won't be able to tell the difference.

Haha!

I've heard it attributed to a few people, Mark Twain usually.

[President_Obama]

lol

Oh my god, I've seen so many internet flamewars between two people where I was in this exact situation.

Yes, I am completely aware of the irony of me making such a post...

Having to listen to awful pop music in public places!

Who's that useless electronic band - American, male vocalist, sings (well talks) like a total dick entirely through autotune? Really waify shitty two-step songs with an over-enunciated American accent?

EDIT: Found it: Owl City.

Adam Young, please fuck off and stop making this trash you call music, it's offending my being.

[Specineff]

Was the song "Fireflies"?

I knew EXACTLY who you were talking about from that description. Testament to either your descriptive skills or their shittiness, not sure which.

ARRGGHH NOW IT'S IN MY HEAD!! HELP!

This is why we need time travel.

You car alarm is going off in your car right outside your house and yet you refuse to do what's right and switch it off. I could throttle you, you absolute abhorrent cunt.

Working in a retail establishment with satellite radio can drive you similarly batty. We're always tuned to "The Blend" which apparently every other restaurant and retailer in the area also uses. Same 7-10 songs all day every day.

Better than country, I sappose.
