I get what you mean Bella. I agree.

Wireless mice are annoying. Same with keyboards. We used to have one but it drove me insane b/c it hardly ever worked, so we got a new one .

All this talk about couples in Church makes me think about a guy I used to date and i started going to his church with him and joined the youth group over there as well. Although in service we didn't googly eye each other or anything all the time, i felt sorry for my mother.

I would hear stories after service from my mom that this man would always sit down by her and would ask her out multiple times and would now and then knee her leg. <---- I find that to be torch and overly annoying (considering my mom didn't like him and was trying to pay attention to service) rather then real sweet couples.

But My Mom!!

While it hasn't quite happened yet, please heed this friendly reminder to keep things on topic (guilty as charged! ).

There are several other noteworthy items which tend to get under my skin...

-When a phone rings repeatedly and the person or persons sitting next to it don't answer it.

-Losing a single sock out of a pair. Seriously...where do they go between the time I pull them out of the washing machine and put them in the dryer?

-Chicken wings...I don't mean Buffalo wings which are one of the most awesome comestibles ever devised by the mind of man. I'm talking fried chicken wings like one gets at KFC. Seriously, there's no meat on the thing and the powers that be at the local KFC or Bojangles deign to actually consider that to be a whole piece of chicken? Puh-leeeze! Toss in another drumstick, please.

Lol. I hate when people ruin a good song by using it for a Twlight slideshow . "Never Alone" by BarlowGirl? Really?

Yes i know what you mean and when they use it in the movie and suddenly everyone likes the band you have liked for years. Death Cab For Cubie for example.

^yep, very annoying. I'd die if they ruined a Relient K song

-Losing a single sock out of a pair. Seriously...where do they go between the time I pull them out of the washing machine and put them in the dryer?

lol my dad says I hide them since I'm the laundress in this house . Whatever, I lose socks too .

- someone mentioned earlier that they had problems with wireless computer mouses, well I have problems with the wired ones. Ours keeps skipping all over the screen or gettingv stuck horizontally Time for a new one

it drives me nuts when I want to go on a bike ride - and it's raining.....ugh!

I find it annoying when you are talking and some one talks louder then you and interrupts. That is cool if you agree or disagree just let me finish please.

^ditto

Libby: oh really? I love biking in the rain .

I've never liked Walmart. I find it quite annoying now. I guess it bothers me because it's pretty much always busy. Which in turn means you can either spend all day looking for a parking spot, or you can park a long way away. After your treacherous hike to the front doors of Walmart, you enter in only to have air blown in your face. Where it comes from, I still do not know. Your then stared at by the greeter. Rarely do they say, "welcome to walmart." Then you go into the store to look for whatever it is you were looking for.

After walking around the store for an hour you still can't find what you were looking for. So you ask an employee. But wait! Where are the employees? So you go on a search until you find one. Then you ask him/her where the item you are looking for is. I usually get a few different answers.

1. uhh, I'm actually on break so I can't help.
2. If you take a left, then a right, then two lefts, then a right its there
3. it's in " " departement.

Never have they walked me to the actually item. Instead I am sent on another wild goose chase. And the item I am always looking for tends to be in a section I would have never guessed. So finally you get your item and head to the front of the store to check out. You figure since its a saturday and walmart is really busy that they will have a lot of registers open. Wrong. There are two or three registers open with huge lines. You end up having one item, and you've got 5 people in front of you with two buggies each full of groceries and such.

At this point you began to look for alternatives. Suddenly you see it. The "Self Checkout." It's like a dream a come true. You can check out as fast as you can go. And normally there aren't big lines becuase people are too lazy to scan lots of groceries by themselves. So you find a small line and wait a few minutes to get to the self check out. Your so happy they have this self check out. You get to it and you see the screen. You follow the instructions on the screen and proceed to scan your first item. Swipe. No ding. Swipe. No Ding. Swipe. No Ding. Oh great, your item won't scan. Your sure your doing it correctly.

Now you have to get assistance from a walmart employee. Sometimes there is one close to the self checkouts but it is a rarity. You can't really go looking around the store cause then you will lose your hard earned place in line. Finally an employee comes over to helps you and of course scans it on the first try. You thank them and then begin to bag your item. Now it's time to pay. It's a good thing these things accept credit...oh no! The credit card machine is broken! You suddenly see the piece of paper with pencil written on it "cash only." How did you miss that?

You then proceed to wait in line at another self checkout and hope you don't have the same problems again. Okay you've paid, got your receipt, and bagged your item. You are in the clear. Good as gold! You walk through the doors to hear the alarm/voice telling you stop. Suddenly an employee comes over the check your bag. Looks like the item didn't scan correctly. It's okay you can leave now.

You finally make it out the door. You probably don't remember where you parked so you begin to search for your car. You find your car after walking around the parking lot for a while and you leave.

This is why I do not like Walmart

Rawkr, your exact reasons is exactly why i don't go to wal-mart anymore. Plus the floresent lights makes me feel blind and surreal. I find that annoying as well.

After your treacherous hike to the front doors of Walmart, you enter in only to have air blown in your face. Where it comes from, I still do not know.

This may be what is known as a "fly fan". This is sort of like a low-tech "force field" which keeps bugs out of the store. Any bugs that try to fly into the store will get hit by a blast of air and blown down and away. So actually Wal-Mart is helping you here by making it so you're not swatting mosquitoes while you shop.

Plus the floresent lights makes me feel blind and surreal.

Flourescents are pretty annoying but they're a relatively cheap, long-lived, and efficient lighting system. I like incandescents myself, but it's highly expensive and inefficient to light a store like that because they burn more electricity and don't throw off as much light. On the flipside our Wallyworld has lots of skylights, so during daylight hours it's typically not as bad.

Rawkr: You figure since its a saturday and walmart is really busy that they will have a lot of registers open. Wrong.

. I hate when this happens in stores! Unfortunately we don't have a Wal Mart in Australia so I can't directly relate but it's always been my dream to visit one (this dream remains undiminished by the harrowing reports in this thread!). I just want to experience a place where I can buy groceries AND a computer at the same time, in the one store.

Things that I find annoying on a personal level -people who giggle behind you in lectures. SO annoying and you feel bad for the lecturer trying to speak. I also really dislike it when kids answer back to their parents or parent/child arguments take place in public (especially when the child is a three year old and the parent is over 30..). I find them very awkward to watch or be around!

I'm sure I get annoyed at many random things, but one thing that always ruffles my feathers is when people patronise me/others. It's arrogant and it's incredibly annoying.

p.s. I've heard that often those things that rub you up the wrong way are the areas that you struggle with/are guilty of the most. Just something I've heard that reminds me to be less annoyed/more patient around button-pushers.

you may think you are missing out, but it's not the most amazing place.....sure, you can buy a computer and groceries at the same time (and I got a great pair of flip-flops), but Wal-Mart is spookey! the worst are the super Wal-Marts! those are bigger than the whole USA! (lol, definitly an axageration).....

Wal-Mart = Headache. I think I need to convince my mom to shop at Super One more often.
I think it's annoying when the internet is down, and then you have to call the repair man to come out. My mom has had some creepy experiences with repair men. She now says that she will never be home alone without a man when they have to come out.
