What stupid trivial thing drives you crazy?
- Kathryn LJposted 15 years ago
0All you loo-roll changers, be advised: it is not the wrong way if it is not your house!
People have reasons for what they consider the 'right' way in their own homes. In our case, it is 4 cats. If the paper comes off over the top of the roll, it is simply toooooooo tempting for the cats to play with and make a mess and waste the paper.
Therefore, in our house the correct way is with the paper coming off the bottom against the wall. We expect our guests to be respectful and courteous enough to leave things as they are.
Thank you.
I'd NEVER change the roll in a person's home. (I'm not, however, above "fixing" the toilet-tissue direction in public restrooms if I have the time.
)So you're the one!
Mine is ignorance and bad manners it absolutely drives me insane when people dont use them, more so in shops or on the street when they just bash into you and send you flying. arggghhhh I just hate it so much I even wrote a hub about it lol
I never thought of you as short, but -- come to think of it-- you don't look very tall in your avatar picture. I thought you were sitting down. Maybe you could make it so your head comes up to the top of the frame.

Nup! I speak a bit of strine though!
manners and chivlery...I don't appreciate when I go on a date and doors aren't opened for me, my chair isn't pulled out and my coat isn't taken or put on for me...to all men out there...it really is appreciated and speaking for myself...expected.
Wouldn't mind if he was kissing it slipping on of these on my fingers LMAO.
Yeah, everybody has different ideas on this one.
I get uncomfortable if a guy pulls out a chair for me...
If the building we are walking into has two doors, I'll let him hold the first one open for me - and then I hold the second one open for him. And, I stand in his way so he has to walk through instead of trying to grab the door handle before I can. I hold it wide open, gesture with my arm, and say "After you!"
People who use nouns as verbs.
"Text me" isn't quite so irritating.
At work, folks walk around saying "Hey, can you PDF that project to me?"
I think I will start saying, "Hey - would you coffee that mug to me?"

slow internet connection and computer glitches....!
in life, cupboard or closet doors open.
in forums, people who answer a specific question posted that's already been answered numerous times in the thread.
people who chew gum while talking... or snap it while chewing.
although not trivial, people who smoke, and talk on the cell phone while driving! or texting, driving with their head down. very stupid and so dangerous.Loaf bread end pieces.
grammatical errors.....
Lazy people who can't be bothered to keep their place clean and orderly.
What's that smell???

I know you don't want my advice, or I'm quite sure you probably don't anyway - but have you tried becoming more conscious? Like being here now! Not drifting off in your head to some other place all the time? I know this from experience. I have to do meditation exercises that reassure me it is ok to be present in the moment and aware of what I do. Also, didn't I tell you how to never lose your keys again? You have to jingle them as you put them down or in your purse. I guess you could like, slap your purse each time you put it down. Never mind. Don't change a hair for me!
and do you go to movies and later can't remember which movie you saw? I do that - space out right after the opening credits and have NO IDEA what I've been watching, or what I've been thinking about either. Almost always am somewhere else rather than here. Except when I am writing - about other places!

The big stuff I'm usually pretty decent managing. It's the small stuff that makes everyday life aggravating.
The one that makes me want to kill someone is people following too close in the store and, for some reason, even if you zig-zag to try to get rid of them, they're still on your heels (as if you're a magnet!). I mean, either back up or go around - but stay out of people's invisible space bubbles!! (I'm still seething from two morons I couldn't shake on my trip to the grocery store Thursday!
So, my thing is to either manage the big stuff/worries or else put it out of your mind; and take advantage of the small stuff as a way to let off steam, vent, and generally be the miserable, angry, person you need to be once in awhile. I guess it's because I have kids, and mothers have to "be strong" and "set the positive mood" when the big stuff is going on. A person has to just be angry, small-minded, immature, and miserable once in awhile.
hahahahaha,
no no no I left the 'hosing' for that other thread

(Sorry, I couldn't resist....)
They do it on purpose--it's called "marketing" these days. If you are able to shop on auto-pilot by knowing the store layout, they'll make fewer sales on impulse purchases of things you see on the way to hunting for what you really want.
Yes, it drives me bonkers, too--but I take my revenge and foil their evil plot--when that happens, I make a point of strictly sticking to my list and refusing to buy even one teensy additional thing.
toilet seat left up or even has pee on it (boys clean up after yourself
) yuckit's only water with a little uric acid added!
boys--stand closer--it's shorter than you think!
The ladies are always first in my thoughts!
Never let them get wet butts unless it's in the line of duty!
The supermarket is where I'll be dying of an anger-inspired heart attack or stroke or something (or else where I'll be arrested for murdering someone).
The ones I "love" are the ones who seem to have some deep-seeded psychological need to take up as much space as they possible can, so they start by - like - stretching out their arms, having a kid (with a child's shopping cart) about three feet away (which therefore "claims" that much more space for them), and then doing something like leaving the full-size carriage horizontally across the aisle. If they're with another adult they'll walk side by side and good and far away from each other. And THEN (!!!) they somehow manage to show up in front of you nowhere where you go.
("Good Lord, you, Space-Psycho's!! Narrow up and tuck in, for goodness sake!" )
Those stupid plastic pitchers that you put a bag of milk in. When you try and pour the milk into a glass or a bowl of cereal, the bag flops forward and you end up spilling the milk all over. I hate that.
Walking in the men's loo by mistake. Do it all the time. (You just got to hold your head up high, don't act embarassed, and maybe they will think you are an angel or something.
Blonde - oh my gosh - I'm the second one on the left, didn't know my picture was still out there!
He was mighty fine.
