so, what really ticks you off for no particular reason?
mine are mostly pronunciations:
people who pronounce mature like ma-toor
people who pronounce schedule like shed-ual
people named sara who pronounce it the same as sarah (sara should be pronounced with both a's sounding the same)
people who pronounce vase so it doesn't rhyme with ace
the 'word' lol, or omg
superchristians (i've never noticed any other super religious people but i'm sure i'd be anoyed by them, too)
sorry if you fall into any of these catigories, i love you anyway

Mums who come down stairs moaning that you were watching some thing too loud at 8.30am on a Saturday morning.. then turn on the TV when they can see blatantly that you were watching some thing yourself. *UFF*.
People that get to the bath room before me and take so long about their business. *UFFI*
People that don't realise that not every one on the road is driving a car. *sigh*.
TV. *big sigh*.
The ratio of cost to earnings! *bigger sigh*.

People who get paid shed-loads of cash yet get away with doing no work (like our consultancy team at work
had one consultant who's been getting paid £450 per day to develop our website copy over the past year and has just handed in the exact same copy from last year... how the hell they get away with it is beyond me.)

It may have had a code overhaul and be more secure.. in which then his fee maybe justified.
I know that i'd want a shed load of cash for reading and writing code day in and day out.

What really gets my back up...
Companies that do not provide any kind of company details when advertising employment opportunities.
So you want a job, and would like to have a fast as possible way of application... take for example and internet company i just found advertising in town... how to apply?.. by snail mail!... it's an internet based company and they don't list a more relevant route such as email!
Sigh I hate looking for work.

Television is the most annoying thing in my life. I love it, but it's soooo annoying.
And tabloids.
And the word tabloid, I looked at it for too long and now it's made me question myself as to how it's spelt, or if it's even a real word. It sounds more like an STD than a publication.

When you have to go into the Womens Health Clinic to chat to a gyno about getting a cyst removed and this girl of about twenty five (yes, she doesn't deserve to be called woman or lady) gives me filthy looks for being there and then moves to the other side of the room when you say to your parents "wow, I cant wait for next week when this is all over"
In short: People who assume things and treat you like filth before they know the full story!
People who tell you that you are too conceited and talk about yourself too much and then at every possibility take the time to somehow tie themself into a conversation which didn't need them to talk about themselves.
People who you talk to about how your feeling about an upcoming operation and then go on to complain about their upcoming exams as if exams are more scary than getting cut open!

Sorry, but for me, exams are way scarier than an operation...
My pet peeves are less people based. I hate people leaving water in the basin and not pulling the plug.... I don't wanna put my hand in your soup!!
And people leaving plastic insert files and CD cases on floors... because they break if you step on them and the sound is really "...NOOO.. oh too late." and makes me sad.

Eejits with a really obvious sense of humour are annoying me today, I was re-painting the fence in an animal enclosure- and *everyone* always feels the urge to go 'look at the funny monkey' and point at you..
I swear, you look at some of them, you can *hear* the gears turning, and lip synch the 'joke'..
