indecisiveness in general.

Friend and I are making plans. She asks me where I'd like to eat. I reply with two suggestions. She says, "No, I'd prefer to go to X instead - I love their burgers!"

Then why the F did you ask me where I wanted to go??

A friend was making breakfast for us - scrambled eggs and toast. She insisted that toast tastes much better cooked in the frying pan instead of the toaster.

So she cooked the eggs and set them on a plate, then spent 5-6 minutes toasting bread in the frying pan while the eggs got cold.

When she served the cold eggs and pan-friend toast, I could only respond with gratitude, but inside I was seething.

So glad I found this post to vent about this breakfast transgression.

That is not irrational at all. The is completely valid. Cold eggs are disgusting.

I made a comment to my daughters and their friend who happened to be in the car with us the other day when some car with a ridiculously loud engine drove past us that they should never date someone who drives a car like that. The friend said "my dad has a car like that." Her parents have been divorced almost since she was born because her dad is a total loser. I said well, I bet your mom wouldn't disagree with my opinion...

Yeah I agree. This one makes me want to shake someone by the shoulders.

Service providers who try to upsell products when you’re trying to get an issue resolved. When you say no thanks, they try at least once more —“Are you suuuure?”

I don’t blame the tech, who is just prompted via script, but I just want my issue resolved.

5 family members 'helping' in my tiny kitchen they are unfamiliar with. Just sit at the table and relax I can not function with you all here. You are all so kind but GO AWAY!

People who are just lingering in the aisle at the grocery store and are in your way. I just need to grab a salad dressing-who has the time to stare at the dressings all day? Just pick one and keep moving! And people who have no business being in self-checkout. There should be a basic test you need to pass to use it.

You probably have misophonia!

The cold eggs comment reminded me of a current pet peeve. My DH and his parents take FOREVER to come to the table and fill their plates after dinner is ready, and waiting for them makes the food cold. I got really angry about this for Thanksgiving. On weeknights with DH i sometimes start eating without him (which I know is rude) b/c it’s so annoying to wait 10 min’s for him to come to the kitchen/dining room and do 3 other tasks before finally plating his food.

Example: It is before 7 a.m. and I am in a big-box store. There are maybe 10 shoppers in the entire place. I am looking for an electrical plug connector which is located way in the back of the store in a very small section. As I am looking at the item another person comes up, stands right next to me (like at my elbow) and begins looking at connectors, too.

This happens to me frequently. I don't understand it. Were I in the same situation, I would browse nearby until I saw that person was done picking out the object and only then would I move in.

I go to big box stores and often have to wait for shoppers to touch 10 items of the exact same variety before finally decided based on God knows what which one is THE ONE. So either hurry the F up or I'm coming to get what I need.

The premade sandwiches at wegmans that are all wrapped. There's a sign telling you what's in them. Every sandwich in the section is the same. I get irrationally angry watching people pick up the sandwich and looking at it. Then the next sandwich. Then the next one. I truly want to ask them what new information they have after being all handsy with a sandwich.

Expiration dates. The want freshly made, not day-old sandwiches.
I don't normally buy sandwiches, but do look at several packages of greens to pick the one with the latest expiration date. It takes my family several days to go through a box of salad greens, so don't want them to go bad while sitting in my fridge.

Well, this would make me irrationally angry. How far apart do you really think these expiration dates are? There are people whose job it is to stock this product probably daily and they will put the oldest one in the front, which means you are digging around to the back because your family can't make it through a container of baby spinach in five days?

Not PP but I absolutely check packages of greens, clear cartons of strawberries, and check yogurts for expiration dates. Yesterday I picked up and put back 5 yogurts at Harris teeter because they had all expired. I have also been burned too many times with large expensive packages of organic girl greens that are not expired but have slimy greens at the bottom. I never have time to return spoiled/expired items to the store so it’s worth my time to check.

When people use the word “gentleman” for a person who is anything but. “I was mugged by a gentleman on the subway last night.”

“A gentleman robbed my parent’s shop at gunpoint yesterday.”
