O.T. Important things (to some folks) but not to others
I care if people get in bed with dirty feet. These are probably the same barbarian sasquatches that put the toilet paper flap on the bottom.
if you're too lazy to take a shower at least wash your goddamn feet.
Bunch of filthy animals.
Give the people the opportunity to gripe and they will.
I suppose that the one thing that causes irritation in the house when it comes to things I don't care about but my wife seems to care deeply about is the physical possession of the remote. Typically, I'll walk into the room, turn on a game or movie or whatever and set it down somewhere and watch. My wife has to hold the remote or otherwise have it within about a foot or two of her. Much of this has to do with volume, which she prefers at movie theater levels whereas I don't mind a subdued volume.
One thing that I do care about that apparently others do not - I get irritated whenever I walk to the coffee pot at work and it is empty, on and no one has bothered to make more for other people. This upsets me probably more than it should.
Your wife wears the pants.
In the spirit of the thread, I give zero fucks about what happens with the coffee pots at work, because I never drink the stuff.
Also, totally different subject, airports: Most people seem to think airports are a necessary evil of traveling. And I get that - standing in line is usually a pain in the ass, the food's expensive, the parking's expensive, airlines aren't well-known for amazing customer service, and everyone's had the experience of spending way more time at the airport than they meant to. And none of that shit bothers me. I like airports. Quite a lot, actually. I'm just fine with the standing in line if I have enough time before my flight and if it's even just sorta moving. I like the various modes of transportation, I like walking past all the gates and seeing where everyone's going, I like the (usually) incredibly extensive selection of food even if it's a little costly. Actually, come to think of it, I pretty much like just about every aspect of traveling, air, road, sea, or rail, even all the mundane crappy stuff that most people hate or don't care about.
premature ejaculation is the definitive answer to this thread.
People you are friends with that are just insufferable on facebook with communicating to spouses on it, baby pictures, inspirational quotes and other crap
Sidenote: Notice it's never your successfull friends posting all the inspirational quotes.
Left Overs!!!
I have a buddy whom refuses to eat leftovers. When we were in college we'd order a large pizza, both eat 2 slices, and be full. That leaves 4 slices. He wouldn't take any leftovers! I would take everything home. He paid for half the pie but only ate 25% of it. Boggles my mind.
My uncle also refuses to eat leftovers. Thanksgiving is fucking awesome because you have days of leftovers. Not for my uncle. He will eat cereal for dinner the next day while we all have delicious leftover turkey, potatoes, pie, etc. Man's a maniac. Like...does he only cook enough for himself to eat at a time? How much shit does he throw away? It's lunacy.
I'll still eat it if it happens nowadays, I just don't have as many of those nights anymore.
who cares which way it goes on.... I was taught under at work because the machine worked that way... when I was like 16. Before that, I had never heard of the debate. No one in my house cared at any point in my life. I just don't get it. I like to put it under to infuriate people around me that like over but other than that I have no preference.
A lot of psychopaths on this board. . .
Basic grammar eludes a lot of people. In meetings with corporate executives, I cannot tell you how many basic grammar mistakes I've seen in presentations. It's as if people don't care it makes them look like an idiot.
Protip: If you have an acronym, the plural of an acronym does not have an apostrophe. If you enjoy Miller Genuine Draft, you do not drink many MGD's, you drink many MGDs.
There, they're, their... We were taught this shit in elementary school!
A few examples of acronyms are LASER, RAM, or FUBAR.
An example of an initialism is MGD.
So when people say acronym for an initialism, it's as if they don't care that it makes them look like an idiot. ;)
acronym
[ak-ruh-nim]
noun

When Merriam and Webster added manscape and selfie to the dictionary, I lost faith in their ability to provide us guidance.
I had to look up manscape. I now regret this action.
Exhibit A:
"James while John had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher."
I always thought you were supposed to sit with your back to the restaurant so your attention was focused on the female and not wandering. Like a Tiger Game on a TV or something. Also, restaurant is a hard word to spell.
Also better people watching.
So, the thing that bothers my husband to no end, which I really cannot understand, is that cars in Chicago need to have a front license plate. I have heard umpteen times how "...living in Michigan, I didn't need a stupid front plate on my car! You should only need a rear plate! Why do we have to have two plates here??" Since we spend a fair amount of time in Michigan, we see these "lucky folks" often, taunting him with no front license plate. I've lived all over the country and always thought you needed two, so it's never caused me angst.
The thing that bothers me a GREAT deal is cyclists who ride the wrong way down a one way street and, hence, blow through intersections that have stop signs (of course they can't see them...they are going the wrong way) and act like it's no big deal. While the act of going the wrong way on the one way is bothersome, it's the "acting like it's no big deal" that really gets me. When I have to jam on the brakes and they give me a look like "hey, watch out!", I'm always surprised how they try to make me feel like I'm the one doing something wrong.
and Penn State is in Pennsylvania and we know what a hot mess PSU is.
Michigan should consider front plates in order to ensure it is on the side of the angels.
There are plates on both sides so the red light cams can catch your number easier. It's all about the money. Also, how would people grind their front plate and screws into the back of my bumper when they park if the front plate wasn't required? I'd hate to have a prestine bumper on my new car!!
Also, cyclists are psychopaths. On the lakefront path in Chicago if you even come close to getting in their way they will call you a f***** C*** piece of S*** and hope your family F***** dies in a F******* fire you C**** W**** F******. Its really amazing the language and quite hillarious. I like to door them on the streets whenever possible. That way my doors match my rear bumper. . . minus the blood.
Mentioned above, I am a cyclist. Getting doored is one of the worst things you can do. Especially if someone is minding their own business doing everything right.
I guess this gives me something for this thread: I hate when people make sweeping generalizations about people who ride bicycles because the idiots who don't obey the laws are the most visible.
I'm just trying to get where I need to be, man. Alive, preferably.
I ride my bike to work/school every day. I hate those cyclists, too. They give us all a bad name. Because of them, drivers think it's my fault when they almost kill me when I'm obeying the rules of the road.
I like living in the midwest, because whenever I ride an escalator I don't have to worry about a bunch of Type-A wonks late for their 4th board meeting pestering me to move over so they can Usain Bolt it up the left.
I just so direly want to trip those people.
EDIT: Also motorcycle riders going on and on about nobody watching out for them on roads. Later, I'll see them skipping lines at stop signs on the shoulder.
Is it that hard to just stand on the right? I hate the inconsiderate assholes who have plenty of room to stand on the right but instead stand on the left and act oblivious to the 10 people behind them who they inconvenience. It's about courtesy, who gives a shit if you think they are a bunch of "type-A wonks", move the fuck over or I will call you out.
There is an escalator just for people like you guys who want to walk, it's called the stairs. Escalators were INVENTED so that the normal people who don't like stairs dont have to use them.
If it makes you weirdos happy, you should know that I will follow the conventions of the area that I am in because I'm not a big jerk, but it's dumb that I feel compelled to do so. This is why the midwest is best.
An escalator IS stairs. Mitch Hedberg even has a joke about it!
I don't care about the important issue of . . . people who put toilet paper flaps on the bottom jumping off a cliff into a burning pile of angry cyclists, anyone who has ever calledl me "buddy", and the people who scratch my bumper when they parallel park.
My gf keeps every piece of cheap tupperware that comes home from a grocery store deli. She literally can't throw it way and it drives me crazy! Our tupperware is a mixed bag of god knows what and we have like an 80 piece set in the basement of rubbermaid tupperware that she refuses to open. I throw away two or three things a week and the stockpile continues to grow.
I don't know whether it is inattention, indifference, a manipulative wife, or all of the above, but somehow I always end up facing the bathroom or (when I'm lucky) a wall. One anedotal, but apt example. We stopped outside at a bar in Greenwich Village (a few years ago, as will become apparent). While I am again staring at a brick wall, my wife shares that she is distracted.......because she is watching the sun set over the World Trade Center.
I don't get why people get so made about smelly farts....like, whatever man, I had to fart and it stinks a little.

I like to have my music turned up loud in my car but when I'm entering a parking lot, neighborhood or my apartment complex on a nice warm day with my windows down I always turn my music down. I respect the elders, kids and people that may not approve of my music but I absolutley hate it when someone is bumping around.
