I use to have a roommate who would eat with his mouth open and all i could do was visualize his food sloshing away between his teeth all ripe with saliva and then listening to the food bolus being forced down the esophagus.I was so annoyed argh..!!

Oh, yeah... That's disgusting...!!! There are few other things that just drive me up the wall... When somebody calls me & I answer the phone... First thing out of their mouth is, "who's this?". Last time someone said that, I told him, "if you don't know who you're calling, you have no business owning a phone...!!!" & hung up on him... Another thing that bothers me is when people have no respect for other's time... People who can't seem to keep the appointed time bother me... I used to know a person who was almost always late... We agree to meet at 6 then he would show up at 6:30 & as he's walking up, first thing out of his mouth is not hi, not hey I'm sorry I'm late... He just casually walks up 1/2 hour late & says, "you ready to go?". I really hate that... I know at times, emergencies happen... But people who do this & get angry with you when you're late for legitimate reason... Just get me p.oed... Then there are people with no common sense... I always have believed, "there's no such a thing as a stupid questions, just stupid people...". I once had a customer ask me at work, "what's the difference between gas range & electric range?". Really? And people let you near the kitchen? Had a guy come in all peed off & throws a package batteries on my desk & says, "these don't work...". So I asked him, "when did you get it?". He goes, "about an hour ago...". "Ummm... Sir? The package says these are 'rechargeable batteries'... You know you have to charge these before you can use'em, right?". And the guy had weird look on his face like I'm the one with 3 heads... Yeah, ok... I can go on & on about the things people do that annoy me but I'll stop here...

I don´t like people who are always telling everybody how miserable their life is. And I don´t like rude people. Probably they are not so little things, but even though I occationatly get annoyed with some table manners of people I see, I don´t worry so much about that as I do about some personnality traits like the ones I mentioned.

I do not like it when a young girl urinate behind their house not thinking there is a house that can see her when she turn her sweet little thing in our windows direction. Would someone see me if I pee here? Questions like these do not matter to them.

I think that's one of my biggest pet peeves. I can't stand to hear people eat their food, it just grosses me out. My boyfriend's sister eats like that and I just think it's so disgusting. I hate hearing the smacking noise that people make while they eat. It's also kind of rude.

LOL thanks for sharing this might be annoying to me as well, esp. if they listen to music at the same time and start to sing or a conversation (I can't understand a worth of it). My husband loves to do this btw and the fact he is always wearing that beanie is annoying too! (his hair is soo cute).

Wow! That do gross! Eww!... What i can say is, don't visualize when someone eating something! Especially if u visualized event when the food is on the mouth (Ewww!) Even if u are visualized ur own food on ur own mouth, you will get grossed in no time!

Ha ha! That does sound gross! I can think of a few friends who do that too - ha ha! There are a lot of things people do that drive me nuts. Just to name a few: chewing gum on the phone (eating on the phone for that matter), not looking into my eyes while talking to me (I hate people who look over my clothes or ahem, chest area during a conversation), pick at their finger nails to get the dirt out right in front of me . . . oh there's a lot!!

ughh that's disgusting. Well what drive me nuts is when people start doing those screeching sounds with their nails, or when they shake their legs at a formal function. People who are always late kinda drive me nuts too! haha. I guess im just a lil too over sensitive. =P
