In an effort to not become one of these people, I've decided to spout off my minor annoyances here. That way I can get them off my chest without bothering my Facebook friends. So, in no particular order, here they are:
- People who blow their nose in restaurants
- Lights that are controlled by more than one switch
- Wearing wet socks
- Dr. Phil
- "New" music which rips off classic rock
- Fitness fanatics who worry about eating too much at Thanksgiving and Christmas
- Fake eyebrows
- People who think you can't see them picking their nose because they're in their car
- Athletes who all-too-obviously thank god when they win a game
- Doorbells that play music
- Anyone who tries to cure your hiccups
- Sarah Palin
- TV commercials that are twice as loud as the show you're watching
- Walking down stairs and thinking there's another step when there isn't one
- Being woken up by the sound of your own snoring
- Food with an unreadable expiration date
- Slow elevators
- Waiting for a long time at a red light when there's no other traffic in sight
- People in an audience who loudly say "Shhhhh!" when everyone is supposed to be quiet
- Clogging up the toilet in someone else's house
Bonus: Geek that I am, I can't help but mention my top five geeky annoyances:
- Software that asks whether you really want to exit
- Constant Adobe Flash and Adobe Reader updates
- Anyone who acts superior because of their choice of operating system
- Video games that make you start the level over when you die
- Auto-correct that turns a technical term into a cuss word
