When I'm at a gas station to get gas, and all the pumps are full of people who are in the gas station. Fill up, then move your car to a parking spot so others can get gas.
I totally get this, but at the same time, if I spend money on gas, I'm definitely not moving my car to a parking spot so I can run in and buy a pop or something. Gas is expensive. I paid for that extra 2 minutes at a pump, damn it.
I get running in to get something real fast while you are still pumping; I do that too. It's the people who are in the gas station for longer times, and their car just sits there for 10 minutes that irritate me. Especially when it's busy.
I'm confused as to how the Oxford comma thing is an issue with husbands, or among families. Are you all writing one another carefully worded emails on a regular basis, with sentences that require the Oxford comma in the first place? I mean, it's cool if you are. I just personally wouldn't even know whether or not my H used the Oxford comma.
My texts are, in fact, carefully composed messages with correct capitalization, grammar, etc. It's the English major/writer in me. MH and his family are also very precise with their messages. No shorthand for any of us.
ETA: Yeah, I use some shorthand on here. MH, CD, etc. Easier when I'm typing the same thing over and over again. Plus, in texts and such with family and friends, I use names. And I don't talk about my period/cycle.
I am the same way, and I'm an engineer! I get angry when other engineers claim they don't need to spell words correctly or use good grammar just because they are engineers. What? No one gets that excuse. Don't be dumb.

PREACH. Can we all just agree that taking 2 extra seconds to check your your/you're/there/their/they're/its/it's is TOTALLY WORTH IT?
ETA: I once did not call a pretty nice guy for a second date because he texted me "G'nite!!!" I know that probably makes me an asshole, but visions of a lifetime of that danced through my head and... just no.
When I'm making dinner and my husband gets out a place mat for himself but not for me.
Every day I make dinner and H gets himself a drink (beer from the garage fridge, water from the sink, etc) but never gets or offers me a drink. Wtf. I enjoy beverages too!

Please come work for me and teach these engineers you ways. I swear sometimes it's like they don't even try. It does make for some entertaining stories though.
Ugh, H and his entire family REFUSE to use the Oxford comma. Say it saves space to not use it.
Well, I REFUSE to stop using my Oxford comma, damn it!

MH & I communicate via chat or text a lot of the week because he's out of town. He also omits it from FB posts. He did it on Sunday & we had a 20 minute discussion about the usage of the Oxford comma. I guess we're strange; we talk about that stuff.

Mine is my coworker judging my headphones volume level. I only keep one earbud in, so I can hear when people need me. Maybe if she'd wear headphones and turn off the fucking TV, I wouldn't have to keep my headphones so loud. Plus, I don't even have it that loud, she's just hearing it from the free earbud. It's actually at the exact same volume as every other day that you didn't say anything. If it bothers you, fine, tell me so I can fix it, but STFU about my ears. I know perfectly well how loud is too loud.
(Almost) Every night I am making dinner and I tell H when it's almost ready. He comes in and I still have to ask him to get DD ready (put on bib, roll up sleeves) and could you please get napkins & silverware? Why is this so hard? We do this every night, I have to ask every night, and he calls me a nag every night. Why husband? Why?
Ugh. MIL does this all the time. Hello, you are 50 years old, stop with the damn baby talk! It especially bugs me when she does it while talking to Smudge.

Not strange at all. We'd definitely be discussing the Oxford comma if I caught him omitting it.

MH is an engineer, and he's easily the best writer in the place. For some reason, the people he works with, most of whom have Masters or Doctorates, just cannot write correctly. Drives him nuts. He tells me all the time I should go work in his office, just so I can make sure all communication going through that place actually makes sense.

It's sort of not the same thing, but I have to nag my H nightly to get up and do his bedtime routine before he falls asleep (because he's normally lying in bed and watching tv before we go to sleep). All he needs to do is brush his teeth and put the cat in the basement (because otherwise he scratches at our bedroom door all night and keeps us awake). It annoys the ever-loving shit out of me. You're 45 years old. You seriously can't remember to brush your teeth before bed? What did you do before I came along?

I know it's irrational to get irritated at my 3 year old but his new favorite phrase is driving me crazy. He is now putting "Remember?" at the end of everything with a sarcastic 'duh' attitude. Even when he hasn't told me before. "Do you want ketchup or ranch?" "Ranch, remember?!"

Hahahaha, it's these little things that are the scariest previews of what parenting will be like!

This made me laugh. Nothing like condescension from a 3 year old!

At first I tried explaining that if he's never told me before that I can't "remember" but now I've just given up.

I love H, but GDI if he does this one more time..... If I am cleaning up the kitchen after dinner and say "H, could you get the plates in the dishwasher?" I'll turn around a few minutes later and see that the plates are taken care of, but the napkins that were on them are sitting on the counter, and the glasses are still sitting on the counter RIGHT ABOVE THE DISHWASHER. I've gotten so pissed at him for this. My response is usually "Oh I guess I forgot to specify: Clean the plates, place them in the dishwasher, then take the napkins that were on them and throw them in trash" JFC This thread is making me mad at H for no good reason lol
H likes to put all of his garbage NEXT TO the garbage can. Like there is some type of force field holding the lid down so he can't open it and put the GODDAMN garbage in there himself.
When people dont use page breaks or tabs in word docs and instead hit the enter key or space bar a gazillion times. I will start breaking fingers for this.
If you come to my work, you'll have a lot of fingers to break. Not only do they hit enter to arrive on a new page, they'll also use the enter key instead of the Keep With Next feature, so I'll edit something and add in text and then find a huge chunk of blank space further in the document where someone had hit enter to keep a heading with its paragraph.
I also found out this same group has apparently never heard of this crazy new invention called Mail Merge. Even Google Docs has it now. Stop telling me you spent an entire week filling out individual progress reports with the data from the system. Embrace the future.

facebook vague-bookers. If you have an emotion strong enough that you feel the need to share it with people, please just say what you want to say. If you don't have the balls to call someone out or explain why you are so damn happy then dont say it at all. This pisses me off to no end.
also when people call you and just start rambling about what they need and never actually tell you their name. I can't read your mind and I talk to multiple people a day, I don't know your voice that well. I have to deal with this at work all the time.

My favorite is the ever-vague: "need prayers today."
Like, ok, no. Tell me what I'm praying for. You are begging people to ask, and I refuse to do so. So I will gossip about it with my friends until one of us finds out. That's what you get.

I definitely have misophonia! Any kind of mouth sounds = me instantly pissed off. I hate it when I'm in some kind of class or lecture for work and someone busts out a bag of chips. Kill me please.
Also, I hate the sound of a loud base from a movie or music if I'm not the one listening to it. I couldn't stand it when I was trying to fall asleep and one of my siblings would start a movie downstairs with surround sound. I would literally sit there pissed off until the movie was over.
When H puts him toothbrush 3.5 inches away from the place we keep our toothbrushes.
My H will walk around the house and leave his toothbrush in the kitchen. Every time I see this I Clorox out my kitchen. This just aggravates me so much.

EWWWWW! Things that don't belong in the kitchen: toothbrushes, hairbrushes, and shoes on the kitchen table.

Or the people to ask for prayers for EVERYTHING! Yes, I typically make a point to pray for people who genuinely need the extra support, but if you are just being an AW I am not wasting my time for something stupid.

People who clip their nails in the office. For like 20 minutes. Are you doing your toenails too? Do you have 85 fingers? If so, does this allow you to type faster?
When people use their windshield wipers far too fast for the amount of rain coming down. This is irrational, I know. But it's drizzling, you don't need them set to monsoon level. I want to get out of my car, go up to their window, and explain the reason why there are different speeds. It's not just all or nothing.
Also, at work when someone emails me, then immediately after calls me and asks if I've gotten the email. Give it 3 fucking seconds to travel through cyberspace, people!
O my gosh, I am always over concerned with what other people think about how fast/slow my windshield wipers are going. I have social anxiety and I am such a people pleaser. I've been trying to tell myself all along that I'm just crazy but now you've verified that people actually care. Lol. Ahhh, spiraling out of control. This kind of makes me laugh.
Also that's as far as I have made it in this thread... catching up now.
