Hello all mylot members, Good day to everyone. Here is a discussion that I would like to know from you guys on the type of person(s) that irritates you or gets on your nerves. Good answers will definitely be given a +, and I will not use the - on anyone at all, because I believe that all of us here are friends and able to discuss together as a community forum. For me, the type of person that gets on my nerves would be those arrogant and selfish types and those who are unwilling to impart and share their knowledge to others. How about you? Thanks for participating in this discussion and have a great day ahead of you. ;)

I stay away from people who swear as a manner of expressing their feelings. I don't like people filled with negative energy. But, sometimes when they meet me, they turn around and change their outlook on life. I think loud people who scream at their kids in public are inconsiderate and not too bright. The kids respond in kind, and there's nothing I can say or do to change that ugly relationship. People who think the world revolves around them aren't much fun to be with. Similar to you, I have no room in my heart for people who treat others with disrespect.

Yeah, tell me about it. Several of my school mates last time kept swearing whenever they are trying to tell something; as if I won't believe them. I don't think that one needs to justify him or herself by swearing and that's something new here that I've seen in this discussion. Thanks for highlighting it. Screaming kids are bad, but screaming parents are more worst, ha! And true, like you said that it is really a bummer for those thinking that everything must be fitted to their tune and rhyme. Have a good day, sweetie.

Hello ruby, does that young woman appears to be in her 20s or more? That's such a shameful behavior, but she seemed to be proud of it, yea? Thanks for explaining what ASBO is. I have learned something new today. I think that kind of behavior is really shameful and definitely irritating. Thanks for your input, sweetie.

there are few types of people who get into my nerves. i can say there are some who just take credit themselves fior whatever you do. they are very selfish and always try to highlight themselves in work. it may be case they are not actually working.they boost about themselves so much.

The ones that get on my nerves the most are those that are so arragont that they won't even admit they have limitations, and learn from those with more experience. The smartest people I know, know their own limitations, will ask questions of those with more experience and learn from them.

Hello palonghorn, thanks for your input on this. I hate those types that you have mentioned as well. I label the types as egoist and not willing to ask for fear that they will look too shallow. But I think they are not gaining any knowledge by not asking. Thanks again and have a nice day. ;)

The type of person(s) that irritates me are those who has no respect for others, and person(s) who are very conceited, I don't like those who lifts their chairs up.

Hello there dhangski, thanks so much for responding. Yes, I like that word conceited because there are people that I've come across who I feel they are behaving that way, but unfortunately, there's nothing that I could do to say them that they are that. It would be none too right. Hopefully they'll realize it themselves and change. Thanks for posting, sweetie. ;)

I dislike people who are prideful, so prideful that they fail to see the flaws in themselves. I never had to encounter such a person until I met my ex. Sure everyone has pride but my ex and his family takes the cake... His family are filled with people who both prideful and arrogant for all the wrong reasons. His parents looked down on mine simply because they are degree holders and mine weren't. My parents have even been snubbed by his father before. My ex's father criticizes everything and anything - from the food his children cooks up to the meals he orders at restaurants. And what's worse, it trickled down to his children - my ex's sister. Apart from commenting on restaurant meals (it's ironic because she doesn't cook at all), she enjoys going on and on about how she's upper middle class and rich but forgets that everything she spends today doesn't come from her own pocket but from her parents. Because my ex's parents are so critical, it had an impact on how my ex is - he became passive aggressive and so insecure that if anyone, including me, did better than him, it meant that his failure was our fault. I actually bought into that whole mess in that one year that I was with him. When I left, I saw that it wasn't me who was the nutjob, it was his entire family. Four years later, his parents are still the same even though his dad got retrenched, his mother dragged to court for some charge (she owns a pharmacy and I think it had something to do with her stocks and taxes), his sister still wondering what to do with her life (she doesn't have a job and is relying on daddy for moolah - best part is that she's turning 24) and my ex still has no idea what he wants to do in life (he comes up with fanciful dreams of opening a restaurant, or moving to some country but never goes through any of them)...

Thank you for sharing me this story. I honestly appreciate your time taking to type everything out and share this bittersweet story. However, I think you have done a very good job, my friend for leaving this so-called no-good guy. It's good to be a dreamer, but not an ego-dreamer and nothing beats me up than someone blaming someone else for their mishaps or blunder. What an arrogant family and no matter how high-class one is, it's always important to stay rooted to the ground for people will always look upon your morale the first thing. But I agree that nowadays, people don't go for morale and honor anymore; they just go for wealth and money and how much one have in order for them to reap the benefits too. It's a sad world, and thanks meiteoh for highlighting this story for I always love to look for inspirations for my blog and this gives me some kind of insights on another aspect of life. It's a real sad world we have filled with these kinds of people and the best is to shy away from them; no matter what they say about us. It's good to do one's own thing and prove the others wrong; indirectly or not. I think the phrase 'no man is an island' can be used for today's era and society and that to live just alone and not mingling with society could be good too at times. Because the more you mingle, the more people will know about your weakness and people are people. No matter what, they will gossip. That's why I prefer to be not too close with my friends. It's easier for friendship between guys than ladies, I can see that. My heart goes out to all ladies especially because they have to deal with this fake world and to come across their boyfriend's family and all. Don't be sad, meiteoh, you are such a nice young lady and I hope you will meet a nice, humble guy who can treat you right. And to treat your family right too. Take care and have a nice day. ;)

Oooops, you are married? I'm so sorry, meiteoh, LOL. I wish you a very happy and blissful life then with your husband. Yes, it's true that there are very bad hearted people out there, but we just have to make do with them around, since we can't really do much about it. I think your ex is reminded much of you that's why he doesn't want to be friends with you even. Don't worry so much, I'm sure he will come to his senses and realize what a great friend you are. Take care and have a nice day. ;)

And thank you for reading my ultra long post. I'll admit that I was hurt while I was with him and it continued even after I left him. The blame game is something which he and his sister do pretty well on their own. If I were to ignore all those horrible qualities, they are actually pretty decent people. I tell myself that people like this exist to teach us about ourselves, diversity and what we should not become. Y'know, despite how much I detest certain qualities in my ex, I still want to be a friend for him because I know that good friends are hard to come by and he's not such a bad guy really... Unfortunately, he doesn't think the same. *shrugs* Anyway, thank you for your well-wishes and don't worry. I found a pretty nice guy who loves me and my family, and I married him! XD

I am usually quite a placid person and do not irritate easily, but of course being a human being there are still occasions that annoy me. The most annoying thing is for someone to ask me a question and after hearing my reply that they dislike they respond to it with "but this is important". If I then point out that irrespective of import it is not possible for various reasons they often reply "Yes, but this is important". At this point I usually ask them to go away, although not always so politely.

There are not many people irritating me, however, the worst once are the once who go behind your back and talk bad things about you. Those people I just cant stand. I for one tell people what I think and Like, and some think I am to strait. But I like to be strait. Going behind your back is no god.

Back-stabbers are a wide group out there and it could really hurt if they are very sweet-laced talkers in front of you. I prefer the spunky and rude anytime, but some are loud but they do back-stab too. Therefore, I guess moderation in mingling with people is required.

the persons that i really hate and gets on my nerves are those who are back fighter, liar and untrustworthy. i really hate a persons who tells good something about you when you are with him but if you are not around, all the things he will say to others are the things that are negative. I also really hate people who always tell a lie. if that person is a liar and a friend of mine, i will surely delete that person from my list of friends. the other type of person that i really hate is the untrustworthy. I had a friend before that i really put my trust on her.. I told her every secret that i have. I also treated her as my sister because of being so much close. but the day came that i discovered that she is telling my secrets to our friends, starting that day, i already remove her from my list of friends.

Disrespectful ones get on my nerves. Selfish, arogant , self-centered, lying, disrespectful, @ssh#l%s. Respect covers a lot. It needs to start with one's self. Respect yourself and you can respect others. That is what almost all bad or wrong behaviors and attitudes stem from. No respect. The biggest thing wrong with our world today is lack of true respect. Respect for humanity, your (my, our) fellow (wo)man.

People that want to know all my personal business. Someone that does not clean behind themselves. Someone who sugar coats how they really feel. Someone who plays mind games. Someone who says that they are going to do something for me, and never come through. Someone who tells a lie on me. Someone who gossips about me behind my back, especially a so- called friend of mines. Someone who misjudges me without getting to know me first. Someone who feels that they need to brag or try to impress me. Someone who pretends that they like or care for me, when they don't. Someone whom is loud and obnoxious. Someone who litters and messes up something that you just cleaned. Someone whom does not have respect for me. Someone that talks about their strengths and never recognize mine. Someone whom see me as a failure, and look down on me. Someone who acts like they got it going on, when they don't. These kind of people make me so sick!!!!!!!!!

Hi my friend, conceited people whether they are male or female really turns me off. I can't tolerate the attitude conceited people have thinking they are so beautiful and better than everyone else. It's funny I notice conceited people all seem to do the same thing, they give this half-a-smile smirk on one side of their face - arrrrr makes me crazy to see that.

Hello bro..thanks for your response. I also dislike conceited people pretty much. I think that they think they are the only gorgeous people in this world, with the misconception that others will only look up to them and won't take no for an answer. I would rather get hitched with an average, next door type of lady rather than a trophy lady who's conceited.

There are a lot of different groups of people that get on my nerves. Typically they are people who are loud - they talk too much, they seem like they are yelling at you. I'm more quiet and reserved so these personality types really clash with me. The secong main group of people are those who are very closed minded. They believe their way is the only way and everyone else is wrong. They are prejudiced against anyone who looks, acts, or believes differently than them. The last group of people are horribly selfish. They think of no one except themselves and are greedy for money...their behavior does not help make this world a better place.

The type of person who thinks he is the funniest person this side of Jay leno and goes on and on and makes an utter fool of himself. He is the sort who slaps the guys on the shoulder and the women on their backside. This character does not even begin to comprehend that most people cannot stand to hear him brag about how funny he is, and he outalks anyone who tries to carry on an intelligent conversation with him. I was at one hospital christmas party with this person and I think he was already nine sheets to the wind when he came but when he tried to help himself to more of the lethal punch he spilled his drink all over the head nurse. She was not a happy camper,and he believe it or not was the hospital administrator heaven forbid.

I have come across many people including friends sadly that are always acting on the fence of acting and they will always use sweet words and lure me into helping them but when the time comes for me to seek help, all seem to run away. But luckily, I am still having my own pride but I admit there are friends whom aren't that way too. It's like a no-win and sometimes win-win situations. Thanks for your post..
