Really Annoying Habits

[natalie_1982]

There is a bloke sat opposite me who keeps gulping, you know that awful throaty noise, from a bottle of juice and is now biting the skin from around his finger nails.

Instead of thumping him I thought I should vent on here instead.

What really drives you up the wall?

the woman opposite talks to herself

[sn�gged]

I know someone who makes a low moaning sound whilst chewing their food... drives me fcukin nuts...

[mccfluff]

people who talk really slowly or take ages placing their order
people who order guiness last in a round
people who stop suddenly in front of you
driver who don't indicate
pool car drivers who bring the cars back with no fuel or water
people who talk about their injuries in excruiating detail

oh (&%^%* i could go on for ages nat :-)

People rubbing their hands together.
Either they are misers, or something more sinister!

[Bbbananas]

Someone I know scratches themselves - armpit, crack, cleavage, ears, feet, gawd-knows where else - then sniffs her fingers.... in full view of the office. I don;'t think she realises she's doing it.

[sn�gged]

People with a penchant for button mushrooms?!

[natalie_1982]

Oooh, that's good one 4get. Just keep saying "PArdon?" or "Did you say something ?", every time she does it.

When I work from my normal office the woman opposite me...... agh!!!! nibble nibble on his fingers....... the woman oppsite me thinks she is incredibly important and busy (even though she is blooming lazy and has one of those made up job titles) and spends the day audibly sighing in the hope that someone says "Oh MrsX, everything ok?". If you ignore the first sigh, then they get louder and louder, then they begin to include "Hrmphs", then if you ignore for long enough she will throw in "Oh FFS" or "I can't believe that's happened". I am quite proud of myself, that one day I ignored her attention seeking strops for long enough that she eventually threw her mobile phone aganst a wall. My friend held out longer than me and managed to get her rocking on the floor under her desk.

[hau kola]

People who park on the pavement and men who "adjust themselves". I never know where to look.lol

[whiskeysheri]

I'm so glad I have my own office, Nat! I've got no tolerance when it comes to anything like that.

Poor table manners literally make me see red. I don't even know where to start there!

[redcrx]

a friend of mine makes a low humming sound all the time. He and a few others came to stay one weekend and Mr CRX had only met him when out in a noisy pub, so sunday morning with everyone recovering from hangovers Mr CRX started pacing up and down the lounge.

"whats that noise? i can hear something humming? sssshhhh everyone, what IS that noise? is it the TV? can anyone else hear it? Its not just me, it gets quieter as i walk over here.........................."

the guy who has the nervous hum got louder and louder the more nervous he got and everyone else was trying to to laugh.

[mccfluff]

i used to work with someone who ate with his mouth open eugthhhhhhhh

i'm glad i'm in my own office now, well i share it with one other person

[whiskeysheri]

Fluffy, it's what my bloke's dad does and it's made me really dislike him. :(

[sleepyj]

a man breathing !

[mccfluff]

oooo and people who are eating when your on the phone to them, thats just gross

[smudge]

People who talk with a mouthful of food.

People who chew gum with their mouths open.

People who talk too fast & you can't keep up with them!

People who mumble with their hand over their mouth - how the kinell are you supposed to understand what they're on about?

People who start talking to you the minute you've walked out of the room & into another - then you having to turn the tap off &/or turn the radio down to listen to what they're saying - usually something like "it's raining out again"!

I mean, why can't they just walk to where you are? ;o$

[natalie_1982]

Mccfluff, have to agree with all of those. And as an added bonus, since i have had a baby, I HATE those selfish, horrible.... grrrr, just plain mean.... people who insist on telling first time preggie mums how awful pregnancy and childbirth is. Thankfully, I had the sense to listen to my own body, but I hate scaremongering. Frankly, women have been doing it for millions of years it's really not that big of a deal (ok, I know there are exceptional circumstances, but I am being general here).

LOL Red, your poor humming friend!

Salla, that's awful, can't anyone anonymously let her kno what she is doing?

3stars to everyone!

[Barmaid]

People who finish your sentences off for you. Drives me absolutely mental.

[whiskeysheri]

Aww, Nat, you've started me off now! :)

Not really a bad habit, just general rudeness: when people stand so close to you in a shop/bank queue, they're practically hinting for a piggy-back! I've had to really bite my tongue on those occasions.

[natalie_1982]

I don't like mouthbreathers either, it's a term I picked up on AB actually, I had never noticed a "mouth breather" before, but now it drives me mental to see someone sat with their mouth hanging open like a cheerful labrador and breathing like they have a blocked nose (When they don't have medical conditions).

[mccfluff]

personal space invaders - i'm with you there whiskey

i have to really quell the urge to shout F*** off
