Off the top of my head, the use of the word 'good' in specific phrases like,
"How did you do on the test?"
"Oh, I did good."
Oh, you did, did you? Well, if you're above 4 years old you sound mentally suspect. How do you announce it's lunch time, "Me hungry??" (I know it's a complicated situation with 'good' and 'well' and whatnot; this is the only use of it that drives me nuts).
Also substituting 'what' for 'which.' One conversation I overheard in high school stands out, "yo, what girl is that?" or the very precise inquiry as to the specifications of a composite hockey stick, "[derr] what flex?"



People who bring their kids into bars. What the fuck? I don't want to swear around kids, but censoring myself after a few drinks isn't the easiest, especially given my proclivity to drop the f bomb a lot in that state. Your world, not THE world, revolves around kids, get over yourselves.

One thing that irritates me is people asking me "are you alright? your really quiet.." when I don't talk or add to conversations and just listen. I should expect it from long experience with hearing it but its still one of those things that nags at me every time it does happen. I'm just one of those people who like to get a feel for the people in the conversation or the topic and only add to it when I have something to say. Many people take it as a negative like if I'm sad, depressed or not listening to them because I don't give immediate feedback.

Another thing that irritates me is people always feeling like they have to talk to fend off that "awkward science" and even make up stuff on the fly and go on with it when its clear that what they are saying is completely false. I have never once felt awkward about not speaking to someone right in front of me but people will go out of their way to avoid it by making up the most outlandish stories and I have to tell them "look man...its ok...just relax, take a deep breath and enjoy the silence".

I get irritated when I don't make any sense, and I have to figure out what the heck I was thinking.

-When my dad puts me on speaker phone so the rest of the world can hear me because uh yes, it is more efficient that way. Um, lets not and say we didn't. He's always so oblivious as to how uncomfortable that makes me. And please don't hand off the phone (without telling me) to some random person I have not spoken to in years all so we can have a "fun" little stupid surface conversation. That's what YOU do. Not ME. /rant

-When objects refuse to carry out my bidding. Much cursing ensues.

-When people use my water pitcher and then leave it empty not refilling it. What the heck?

I work in retail, so I have a lot of these.

- People who go to the store with really bad BO. Take a damn shower or bath sometime during the day, prior to going out in public. FFS. If you smell like a garbage scowl, the only thing I'm focused on is not hurling in your face.

- People who will take items off the shelf, decide later that they don't want to purchase them, and then leave them on another random shelf elsewhere in the store. Give it to a store employee instead, or put it back where it belongs, please.

- People who will complain to cashiers about items that aren't stocked, or prices that are too high, when we have no control over those things.

- People who would rather be harsh and demanding than gentle and respectful.

- People who will stop their carts in walkways to chit-chat, ignoring the fact they're blocking the way for everyone trying to get past them.

Etc, etc. I could go on and on.
