    There's a few on the list that get on mine...

    These are some of mine from the list..

    1.Cash-point faffers. Why do I always get stuck behind someone who wants to pay in, get cash out, check statements and get a balance slip?

    2. The supermarket cashier who comments on your shopping...just put the darn things through, I don't have to justify why I'm buying something

    3.Websites that insist on overly complicated passwords. One upper-case letter, one lower case, two symbols, a dash . . . How is anyone meant to remember that lot?
    4. People who park so close to you , you have difficulty opening the door to get out and have to climb over the passenger seat..

    ..and there's more... have a look at the whole list here..

    Interesting link. There's some good stuff there. Similar to your #1, I'd add people who wait for the cashier to finish ringing up their groceries before digging in their purse for a method of payment, spending minutes figuring out which card to use, or whether to write a check, then chatting up the cashier while reorganizing everything in their purse before getting out of the way.

    Oh that irritates me too ken.. especially if they've been standing in the queue for a while giving them plenty of time to find their money before they even get to the cashier!!

    While I'm standing in the queue I always get my debit card out of my wallet and put it into my pocket in readiness before I get to the cashier so I don't hold anyone up.

    Any and all retail places that insist on playing music much too loud.!
    Any place that insist they need my email address.
    Places that think you must furnish your ssn to them.
    Am sure there are more but that is enough for now.

    Political polls over the phone. I got one Saturday from somebody who said they were the DCC. I suppose that means the Democratic Congressional Committee. They were trying to get me to say something bad about President trump, I think. I told them I think he is doing a great job, I'll vote for him again next time and I intend to vote for every Republican on the ticket in November.:D:D:D:D:D

    I love political polls. I don't always tell the truth, but they're fun.

    Not really any on those lists, because I don't experience a lot of them. Guess I don't get out enough. :( At checkout counters and other lines, I try to remind myself I'm retired, and not usually in a hurry, and then it makes me :).

    Announcements over the P.A. system at box stores, especially bad at Lowes.

    CUSTOMER NEEDS ASSISTANCE IN PLUMBING (or wherever)!

    All caps because it is really loud, drowns out conversation, repeats too frequently for anyone to even have a chance to get to plumbing, and sometimes goes on for what seems like forever.

    Another thing I find highly irritating is when you're standing in the supermarket looking at items on the shelves and someone stands right in front of you completely blocking your view.. that's rude!!

    I'm impatient so anything that causes me to wait needlessly annoys me...it's strange because I have all the time in the world.

    Yet I feel a need to hurry up with everything so I can come home and have all day to stare at the walls, lol.

    Just as I clicked on this thread, the most irritating thing to me was going on at that very moment!
    BOOM ...BOOM BOOM...BOOM...BOOM...BOOM...BOOOOOM...BOOM.
    The ever so lovely musical renderings coming from a parked car at the apartments across from my house. (sarcasm at its best)

    To be sure, only a deaf person feeling the vibration might think that horrendous excuse for music was even close to being good for within those very vibrations might disclose something akin to the percussion section complete with cannonade playing the 1812 overture.
    Our windows rattle, the house shakes and this normally calm gentleman’s nerves begin to fray. The only possible thing more intolerable would be to have to simultaneously listen to Maxine Waters, Hilly Clinton and Nancy Pelosi speak. ( although the windows wouldn’t just rattle with the later, they would indeed break)

    I do not normally revel in any type of revenge but there is one point of satisfaction to be gleaned in the very near future. The people in the entire apartment complex is being evicted along with their dope, prostitution and yes, the BOOM BOOM BOOM!

    Fade in the song, “There will be peace in the valley” whilst quietly chanting, “Fare thee well, boom boom, fare thee well! “ Bye bye....
    Ahhhh...much better now and I didn’t even have to seek any meds........:)
