People who don't use their turn signal. It's rampant in my city and it annoys me every time

Mine is also driving related - people who drive slow in the passing lane. It's called a passing lane for a reason!!!!!

On sidewalks: slow walkers and people who stop abruptly in the middle of them.

People who intentionally spell things wrong. For example, the word “kewl” instead of “cool” makes my eyes bleed. It’s the worst when it’s the name of a business or product, like “Froot loops” or “Krazy Kar Wash”.

I have a friend who started spelling her name with a Y instead of an E when she was like 15-ish, because she thought it was cool to have unique spelling I think. She is now 31 years old and is still spelling it with the damn Y. It makes me cringe! |

Mine is people who don't have manners. It's really not that hard to say please and thank you. Or hold doors. Etc.

People who are jerks when driving. My turn signal doesn’t mean you should speed up so I can’t get in that lane!

People ignoring cashiers / servers / other service people. They’re not machines. Make eye contact.

bebbysue yep wrong name spellings are another bad one for me. To each their own, but seeing, for example, “Madysyn”, instead of “Madison” — I just don’t get it.

One uppers drive me insane. My BFF has dated quite a few over the years. I don't know how she stands it. Every time I have to have a convo with one of them I just internally rage. Haha   |

Mine is being woken up early from a nap or in the morning. My family still uses a nickname for me I received due to this. bebbysue I agree about the please and thank you, but then there's those people that hold the door for you when you're like a mile away and you feel like you have to jog. lily, I never know where to look when being served when he/she is not talking to me. When I was the server I'd prefer the person not look at me- as long as they were not on the phone!! |

But speaking of driving related ones, I HATE when drivers can see a merge coming, due to construction or whatever, but pass up the HUGE line of cars to merge in all the way at the front. Or even worse, jump out of the long line of cars to pass up everyone and merge at the front. RAGE.

Slow people. Stupid people. People who are completely ignorant to their surroundings and just stop in front of you or stand in the way or something. Loud eaters. Being licked (by animals haha, but I’d probably be annoyed if a person did it too).
A lot of things annoy me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not using a turn signal. My clunker of a car in college had the turn signals stop working. I put my arm out the window to signal. In the middle of the winter. You can flip your piece of plastic in your car to let me know why the hell you're stopping.
Being interrupted while I'm speaking. It has gotten much worse since I teach elementary school. I give H the dirtiest looks if he dares to speak before I'm done.
People trying to throw together plans the day of or before. My MIL used to do this all the time but has gotten better recently.

And still do now. *Shrug* I just wanted to be the cool version of my name. It doesn't irk me as much anymore when people spell it wrong. Except for the secretary at the school where I've been for FOUR YEARS who still spells it wrong. I give her crap every time. Then she tells me it's not my given name so it isn't a big deal. Given the area in which I teach (near DC) where there's a high minority population there are a lot of unique spellings. At least mine makes sense. |

I think it’s so obnoxious that the secretary clearly knows how you spell your name but keeps spelling it wrong — that would annoy the crap out of me. Maybe no big deal the first time or two if she didn’t know, but for years! Jeez. Btw I’m totally that person who throws together last minute plans. I’m sure I drive the plan way ahead types crazy.

Along these lines, I get so irritated when I sign an email with my name and then the person replying spells it wrong. IT'S RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU. |
