What are small things that make you boil deep down inside.

[STOUTjodee]

People who have a negative attitude and people who are rude are things that can make me boil. I try not to let them bother me, but I believe in "do unto others as you would have them do unto you." I'm not negative and I try not to be rude, so I expect that from other people!!

 

[kelden]

I can't stand whiny people too. Making a big deal out of everything, is very obnoxious to hear their inane complaints like some kind of attention whores. Good thing I'm not obliged to hear them, I usually put them aside and leave them alone with their own inane "misery".

 

[AyyBro]

I hate it when someone acts like they know everything, when in reality they don't have a clue. No matter what they won't listen to what you have to say even if you bring up a valid point. It is really annoying!

My biological Mother is making me boil deep down inside at this time. I have only known her for a year and I am totally surprised how she is turning out to be a real catty woman. Sorry to say and I know it is a very harsh thing to say about ones own Mother. This Mother gave me up when I was four years of age and I am sorry to say that I have realised that my Dad was right when he said that she gave me up out of spite. I am wishing that I never had anything to do with her as her unkind words are causing me a lot of pain and depressing me further.

Well, this is a pretty intense list, but if you'll bear with it, then here:


I can't stand smear campaigns


I can't stand parents cursing in front of their children


I can't stand the unfair treatment of an adopted child when it happens


I can't stand watching unnecessary violence.


Being the scapegoat for the problems of somebody else irks me.


I don't like people trying to keep me from having a say about my own life.


I can't stand it when people use their race or gender as an excuse.


I really can't stand knowing I won't get promoted at work because I'm not willing to do anything promiscuous for my boss.


I also can't stand when I've paid for a movie and the film is worse than used toilet paper.


There are quite a few things that really boil me down when I think of them. Thankfully, I also have a lot of good things to think about to keep me from the ilk of the annoying thoughts.

One thing that really gets my blood boiling is when people think their way of doing things is the only acceptable method. I had to deal with that growing up, and thought I'd moved to a place that was less provincial, with more open minded people, but sometimes where I live now is like stepping back in time. I'm somewhat of a libertarian (small L, not the actual political party), and don't usually care what people are doing as long as they're adults and aren't being coerced. I have a friend I'm no longer as close to, because I started noticing things like this. She's very judgmental about certain things, such as whether someone has dust in the corner of their house, but lets other things that are really outrageous to me (such as scamming others) go. I've learned to minimize the amount of time I spend with people like that.

I really don't like when I meet someone new, like a co-worker I've never talked to, and they go on and on about their medical problems. I'm a stranger pretty much, and they're telling me each detail about every surgery they've had lately, how tired they are, all the medicines they take, and I have no choice. Nobody has a choice in that situation. What you HAVE to do is be super sympathetic, nod and say you're sorry about a million times, praying that any second it will end, but it seems to go on forever. Maybe these people don't have anyone else to talk to, but most of the time I see them repeating the same stories to everyone else.

 

[kgord]

People that shoot from the hip bug me. They think their opinion is the right one and the only one, and they make it without even considering all the alternatives. My roommate is like that, and it really gets on my nerves. He has a filfthy mouth as well, and I really don't like that either. Fortunately, he stays in his room 90 percent of the time. I mean he really isn't a bad person, but his personal habits are not very becoming.

 

[fuzyon]

People that are so obnoxious even when they're not right, it makes me really angry. Whenever I argue with a person that has no idea what he/she's talking about makes me really upset, especially if that person is not even close to the truth yet still keeps coming up with crap. I also hate people that don't take full responsibility for what they do.

 

[clair02]

I used to get irritated by the smallest things that didn't work out the way that I wanted in my life, until I realized that I was hurting myself by stressing over the small things. I started repeating this affirmation everyday, "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff" over and over for a month, and before I knew it, I wasn't as concerned about the little things that went wrong or that people did. Now every time I feel myself starting to get irritated by something or someone, I only have to repeat that affirmation to myself and it helps me to calm down and see just how petty it would be to get upset.

 

[Usagi]

I hate it when I'm walking down a sidewalk or in a store and the person in front of me is moving really really slow and I can't get around them. It's even worse when it's a group of people and they're all spread out and talking so loudly that they don't even notice you. If that person has impaired mobility it's one thing' date=' but the people looking at their phones and weaving so that you can't walk around them is a whole other thing. [/quote']
People standing around blocking thoroughfares is the worst! Especially when it's before, on and after the escalators. I'm the kind of person that walks up the escalators. It grinds my gears when people don't keep the right side free for people to pass.


Also, what's up with people pushing through elevator and train doors without letting people get off first? It's totally rude.

 

[Humphrey247]

People assuming that if I just try something I'll like it. No, I'm not into weed and I don't enjoy getting drunk. I really dislike people who push people to try things even when they're clearly not interested.

 

[Laneorexorcist]

Hypocrites more than anything... And It's more annoying if it's something that its directly affecting me or if I'm involved... It's also annoying when people are too loud... I can't stand loud people, they hurt my ears and I end up all stressed after it.

Oh, those are two of my pet peeves, as well. I find it very irritating when I'm in a store (most of the shopping I do these days is in the grocery store), and someone parks their shopping cart in the center of the aisle, so no one can pass on either side. They invariably also leave their purse (yes, it's almost always a woman, but then again, they are usually the grocery shoppers) in the cart, and it used to make me nervous to touch the cart, but these days I don't care. I just move it to the side and proceed along my way. It's also annoying when people clutter up the aisles with their inane chattering and ignore those trying to get past them. I think they like the idea of being on stage, and since they're not actually famous, this is how they get their attention fix.

Things that bug me come and go depending on my mood as I'm sure other people have probably experienced as well. But, I can certainly relate to what many of you have said. I have a really close friend that complains about how tired she is because she worked two days in a row. She only works every other weekend. Her kids have grown and moved out of the house. I work full-time and still have to take care of my family. As I said, she's a really close friend of mine and I try to be as empathic as I can be and I have never said anything regarding my frustration listening to her. It is difficult sympathizing with her when she just woke up from a two-hour nap! Something that really makes me boil inside is when my mom is passive in various situations, some involving her health or decisions related to my grandmother. She changes the subject and doesn't want to deal. My frustration comes from worrying about the health of both of them, whom I love so much. I try to explain that to her, but she still doesn't become any more proactive.

 

[iCapybara]

I feel kind of bad to say this, but little things often get the better of me and make me so upset so quickly, like when people chew with their mouth open. If I even hear it one time, I have to restrain myself from snapping at the person who does it. Also, similar to Panic57's post on the first page, if people constantly ask for advice or simply vent about their problems and days and never ask me about how I'm feeling, I get really upset. I usually just keep it to myself and get passive aggressive about things, but I hate to have to ask someone to actually care, if that makes sense. And--I know, last one, I swear!--I also can't stand when someone talks about the same thing over and over and OVER. One of my friends has been talking to me about this guy she likes for, literally, weeks on end now. I'm happy that she's found someone she likes and whatnot, and I also feel bad for saying this, but it just gets so repetitive and annoying; makes me want to tear my hair out. Although, I feel like I get easily annoyed by anything and everything, so maybe I'm just triggered easily and should let these things go more often.

 

[Ippolito]

I hate loud noises, so, dogs barking, planes, bikes, etc all make my blood boil. And the worst thing is, everyone else acts like it's no big deal, like I should just accept that people are rude since it's "normal". I hate when someone uses the word "normal" to justify something bad.

 

[sidney]

My pet peeve is a bit different. I have some "housemates" that have this annoying habit of pushing people's buttons to get attention, so they discovered that I hate my things being damaged. So they do just that. Intentionally damage my things. It ranges from the most worthless like letters, to the most important like CPU's and cellphones to the point that it won't work.  So far, I have had a damaged CPU and phones as well. Even dents and scratches annoy me when they do that on a new item!

 

[fuzyon]

I have a lot of pet peeves, the biggest of them is people that chew with their mouths open. Not only does it sound and look disgusting but it also makes me uncomfortable, I guess I obsess over it too much. I also hate people that talk loudly even when I'm near them, I mean I'm right here you don't need to shout.

 

[amy88]

For me it's bullying. I hate seeing people get picked on -- it really hurts my heart, probably because I was bullied as a child and hate seeing others in the same kind of situation.


I have social anxiety myself probably in part as a result of that bullying - and to know that it could have the same impact on others lives really saddens me.
