Random things that annoy me

People who ask if you're done when they should be asking if you are finished. Unless of course you have been baked, broiled, or fried.

People who use the word persnickety.

People who let their cats roam free.

My single, childless, in-laws who are always telling me how I should be raising my children.

People (like Mike Holmes) who wear one earring.

If your ILs are childless where does your husband fit in this equation?

Women who refer to themselves as "moms." You are a mother. Also parents who say "raising" our "kids". Children are "reared"--corn,, beans, pigs, cows are raised. Kids are baby goats not children.

My wife does this. Very annoying. Also won't close the toothpaste.

I love the word persnickety and don't get to use it often enough! LOL

The prevalent non-use of turn signals in this area and, this is a big one for me, people who stay on their cell phones while dealing with check out people. It just seems so incredibly rude.

I know a lot of women and nobody I know goes around saying that they are a "mother" and that they are "rearing" their children. Where are you from? (Honestly, not trying to be snarky, just curious why this vernacular is annoying to you.)

I think the husband is the brother of the single childless SIL or BIL.

People who cough/sneeze without covering it. Do you pee on people, too?

BTW, people on their cell phone in my way are fair game - you've been warned.

This for me too! Also:
People chewing with their mouth open, or smacking their gum loudly.
When people bite down on their fork and scrape their teeth against it.

People who nit-pick others use of the English language. Word usage changes over time.

Moms (oh yah, I said moms) who barely know me who give me unsolicited advice when I never said there was a problem.

Parents who give their kids a ton of coke and candy, don't let the kids nap, and then say things like "I don't know why they get so crazy"

Moms who lecture me on the value of giving their kid only organic food.....while giving their kids coke and candy. Hmmmm....how organic is that coke?

People who speed up when I turn my turn signal on - just to block me - even if they are really far back. I think this is the reason no one uses their turn signal.

Repetitive sounds drive me NUTS. If something is beeping, dripping, whistling, etc. I go nuts until it stops. So when someone is making tea and just lets the pot whistle and whistle and whistle before getting it, or they've set a timer and don't turn it off when it starts beeping, I go nuts. I can not sleep if I can her the tub or faucet dripping. I guess that's a sensory thing.

People who use Facebook status updates as a medium to brag about everything.
