People have habits and mannerisms that can drive a person crazy. My sister hates for me to pick at a fingernail. That quiet little noise is like a sonic boom in her ears. (Remember the fairy tale, Princess and the Pea? That would be my sister). What innocent behavior is it hard for you to ignore?

The thing that walks all over my last nerve is when someone asks you a question and then interrupts before you can finish your sentence. What is worse is when they finish the sentence for you with an opinion attached, that of which is not your own.
Or...the big one...They ask a question. You begin to answer, they then turn to someone else and start talking to that person instead.

Make lots of spelling and grammar mistakes in your written work. When you're speaking, say things like...I seen...I done....she don't....he ain't.

The non-stop barking could be considered disturbing the peace, couldn't it??
I'm glad you asked that question, at my job before we go to work we have a PJB, pre job briefing. This 41year old woman is IN the meeting POPPING CHEWING GUM in the meeting !!!!!! IT DRIVES ME NUTS !!!!!! , This actually makes me fighting MAD. I talked to the site manager about her and he told her to stop interrupting the meetings, THANK GOD. GUM POPPING and someone that chews with their mouth opens gets on my nerves. I'll probably think of some more. GOOD QUESTION.

Recently my son had a court appearance and there is a security entrance (x-ray of carried items, walking through the whatever that thing is). Sheriff's deputies man/woman the entrance and machines. The deputy who shooed me through had the gum hanging out of her mouth...dis-gust-ing.
I hate lazy English being spoken...Double negatives, preposition at the end of a sentence, etc....

People on their mobile phones in stores who seem to make sure you hear their conversation "did you say cabbage or baked beans". People who not only do the talk they do the walk with this thing to their ear. I used to feel sorry for people when that ear piece came out I thought they were talking to themselves.

I dont smoke. People who wait till the very last thing and then ask for cigarettes in the check out at the super market .Then the clerk walks a mile and comes back with the wrong ones . I wish the floor would open and swallow them . Feels like I spend half my life behind morons in the check out line. Those with checks and the ones with 50.00 in pennies, The worst ones are the ones who must swipe their plastic card 10 times before it works . Hint Its not working because YOU HAVE NO MONEY !!!

“You are breathing wrong” tells me to shut up or leave the room. In CODA I learned not to take abuse. I can say “NO” with authority and conviction to anyone trying to twist my polite “no" out of my mouth and turn it into a “yes”. Being talked over was annoying but I learned to play that game too and turn whatever they were about to say into an embarrassment for them. One warning is all it takes. I don’t like folks who assume I am on their side of an issue when I do not share their view. A neighbor has a motorcycle that is annoyingly loud and they are an immune to its noise because they are tone deaf, a result of their indulgence. I’m sure I could think of a few more annoyances and I reside where I do to avoid many of them….air pollution, and so forth. Yes, i can rant-on.
