I think that the one thing that's true about everyone in the world is that we all have things that get on our nerves. What makes you crazy?

I hate it when i have to deal with that one person in every group who has to top everyone's stories with a more outrageous story about herself. "You got attacked by a bear? That's nothing! When I was five I fought off an entire family of bears with a spoon!"

I particularly dislike nosy people who say "So, when are you and Kevin going to have children?" and who then do not believe "never" is an acceptable answer.

I hate children, I really do, and I have no intentions of having any. "Oh well, you'll feel differently when it's your own child." Well, what if I don't? These things don't come with a Return to Sender sticker on them...

hell, kt, i even like children (some of them, some of the time) - and being asked when i'm going to produce one is still annoying!

Cats chewing and scratching on things especially when they look up at you so cutely afterwards. Worse is dogs who dig holes in the yard and when you go to scold them they look up and seem to say "Hey look what I'm doing, come on do it with me, lets have fun."

Oh I HATE when someone who should know better , (a public speaker or radio announcer for instance) says "Are" when they mean "OUR". I don't know where this came from, but is it so hard to figure out the proper pronunciation?????

People who don't know the difference between "then" and "than". Especially when that mistake is made in a professional document. I don't correct them, though. I've seen several people use the spellchecker and "Ignore" recommended changes because they thought the computer was making a mistake. I don't correct them because I probably make mistakes that bother them, too.

People who use 'nauseous' when they mean 'nauseated'. Such people are nauseous!
