10 Kinds of Annoying People
Cats and dogs make more sense than most people I know. Yes even those cats who try to eat your green peppers until you actually put it in their bowl. Then they want nothing to do with it. The reason cats and dogs make more sense is possibly because they can’t talk.
While it might not be possible to cut the entire human race out of your life, here are 10 types of people the world would be better off without.
1. People with a full shopping cart in the supermarket express checkout lane. Exceptions to this rule are blind and illiterate people.
2. Movie patrons who have phone conversations halfway into the show. Exceptions to this rule are those are calling an ambulance because they have just had a heart attack.
3. Groups who invite you out so you can all collectively stare at your phones. Exceptions to this rule are people finding super cute cat videos to show you.
4. Individuals who cut in line. Exceptions to this rule are aid workers trying to save lives of starving children
5. People who can talk about their favourite colour for over 23 minutes. Exceptions to this rule are artists and children under 8.
6. Strangers who stand 2cm behind you at the ATM. Exceptions to this rule are people who had to come close to pull a spider off your shoulder.
7. Teenagers with water balloons. Exceptions to this rule are teenagers with poor aim.
8. Adults who cannot distinguish between your and you’re. Exceptions to this rule are people who don’t speak English.
9. Motorists who honk at pedestrians trying to cross at a cross walk. Exceptions to this rule are drivers taking pregnant women to the hospital.
10. Individuals who did not get a kick out of this list. There are no exceptions to this rule.
Phew, thank god I got a kick out of it!
People who hug you in the bus near the exit doors because they cannot hang on to anything else….
you sure there’s only 10? 🙂 🙂 🙂
Touche. There’s probably about 7 billion.
Love it! I particularly can’t stand anyone invading my space while I line up at checkouts too! Especially when they start touching your stuff as you lay it on the counter and exclaim, “oh, what’s that? I didn’t see that. How much is it? What do you use it for?” Sheesh.
My strangest checkout line experience was a man who walked in front of me and placed his 5 items in front of my 1 item without saying a word.
Weirdo! The thing is, I know I wouldn’t have said anything out of shock!!
I like my dogs and cats better than most people because they’re honest.
I, too, have written about my irritation at people who enter the express lane with a full shopping cart, then argue with the clerk until it’s easier for her just to check them out.
I wonder what their defence is. Perhaps they say it’s discrimination against people who buy a lot.
I think it’s the hallmark of a me-me-me society.
About a year ago, I was struck with a type of migraine that has no pain but gives you dizziness and vertigo (a-typical vestibular migraine). Trying to walk like that is exhausting on all of your senses. I was using a cane for stability on one side and holding onto my husbands arn on the other side. Sitting made a huge difference. My husband and I walked into Walmart and there were no electric carts for me to sit and shop. Why? People over 400 pounds were using them, and one tall, slender, very fit young woman was giving her child a ride on one because he thought it was fun. In the meantime, I held onto a shopping cart, almost passed out twice getting the the pharmacy area, and watched the parade of electric carts go by. My first thought as a 5 foot 4 inch tall woman weighing 106 pounds? I’m not the one who needs the exercise.
Man, you just scratched the surface, this list could go on and on. Loved it.
What a complete waste of noodles.
and awesome article by the way 🙂 The “2cm ATM” ticks me off the most. Personal space people!
what about conspiracy theorists who feel stalked by nearly everyone?
Or people who refuse to eat anything other than so-called organic food for alleged health reasons but still smoke?
Totally excellent, and the “exceptions” bit was a great gimmick– well done!! : )
Well at least someone knows just how I feel.
11. People who feel like it’s their civic responsibility to smoke like 5,000 times a day.. I mean just stop smoking at all.
No exceptions, thanks.
I am glad to report I am not putting in for any exception on the 10th category 🙂 Btw, in my own category No.1 is the “I don’t know I don’t know” category of people and No.2 is the “The world should dislike what I dislike category” 🙂 And, I too plagiarize your last category – NO EXCEPTIONS AT ALL 🙂
The Melbourne taxi drivers who wants to know everything about you, family, why and how and even the colour of your inner wear. If they ask how much you paid for it, you just met an Indian taxi driver. Exceptions would be those drivers who are on the phone with their friends or family and yells in foreign language….
Hummmm well my favorite colour is the Rainbow apart from the fact that it has great Spiritual significance which is the most important reason, it also has many shades that are reflections of something greater but then don’t you just love how the colours blend together too and that everything is not just black and white but of course we need them for contrast and shadow or we wouldn’t realise that the Rainbow comes after the storm but I do marvel at the shape , just like a bow , I always like to see little girls with bows in their hair but of course a Rainbow is not the same type of bow 🙄 Have you ever looked up and seen a Rainbow and wondered why? it’s amazing what people take for granted don’t you think but then some people take others for granted until there no longer there, meaning they must have went off to find the pot of gold at the end of the Rainbow. I love the fact that the colours of the Rainbow can be seen in all Creation too. Some people give colours meanings but I don’t always agree, I see a tree is green but not jealous and I love red poppy flowers but none have ever been angry with me, and the sky is indeed blue but not unhappy etc. I’m sure your wanting me to continue about my faviourite colour, the Rainbow so what I will do is leave a link for you so you can enjoy more about the Rainbow, I’m always seeking to help…..

One of the most annoying to me is someone who keeps on talking as if you (or another speaker) are not there after you (or the other speaker) have started speaking to the group and especially if you (or he) have started addressing the jerk directly. That is maddening! The primary example I recall is when I was attending a comedy show once that had an audience of about two hundred in a very nice setting. A woman and her male companion were sitting so close to the center of the stage that they could literally touch it with their hands. Several minutes into the show, the woman was conversing and laughing so loudly at private jokes with her companion that the comedian, who was standing about ten feet from the woman, politely asked the woman to be quiet because she was interrupting his show. The woman ignored him. He asked her again and again and again, he finally started raising his voice and asked the manager to remove the woman, which the manager did not do for whatever reason. The woman continued to talk and laugh over the comedian throughout the entire time. Finally, after ten minutes of the woman ignoring his begging, pleading, cajoling, and admonishing, the comedian stopped the show and left the stage. I have had the same happen to me when I was giving an informal presentation to a much smaller group and at parties when trying to talk with a small group of acquaintances.
Number 8 is a funny one! 😉
A confirmed arachnophobe, I like number 6!
