Ugh! I hate pushy sales people at the best of times. If I'm in a shop it's because I want to browse... in peace!

At the moment I'm annoying myself a lot! I'm 37 weeks pregnant and am probably really anxious about this big life change - but instead of facing those fears I'm hyper focusing on ridiculous nesting requirements like renovating my fireplace and stressing about pot plants. Meh! I need to give myself (and my DH) and break!!

I'm annoyed by people that can't listen and follow directions. How hard is it?

I'm annoyed when people get mad and blame me for things I didn't do or have any control over!!! It happens at work a lot.

NYC sidewalks.

The moment, the very millisecond, that LO falls asleep in his stroller is always when we get to the corner of a block where all options, other than retreat, involve:

cobblestones,
or uneven paving,
or construction work and "please use the other side of the oh wait that's the Hudson River, oops, never mind" signs,
or gravel (a.k.a. the loudest substance on earth to a sleeping nine-month-old),
or, worst of all, the alternating rough paving slab/bobbled paving slab combination that is guaranteed to wake up an anesthetized elephant who has had a heavy night partying, never mind my just-asleep little boy.

But, you know, at least I'm not mad about it.

@apis: bumpy sidewalks are the worst! I always trip over them.

@apis: sounds about right. So unnecessary.

@mslipgloss: our LO, when in a rare foul mood, has the ability to grouse, and gripe, and whinge, and then, suddenly -- pure sunshine radiates from his every pore and angelic choirs are singing (because there's someone else around) -- and back to grumble, grumble, because it's just me. Fortunately, it happens rarely.

i think i must just look like someone that wants to hear about other's problems.... i don't. i have almost no sympathy right now unless you have a REAL problem. i've nearly laughed out loud when people have complained to me recently. the only things i find more obnoxious than the pathetic excuses for problems people want to share with me, are the cheese ball facebook posts, ' i fall more deeply in love with his beautiful soul every moment of everyday, i could get lost in his eyes forever, he's all i ever need, our souls have become one....' (okay, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but you know what i'm talking about!) GAG ME! basically, i should be avoided right now, almost everything annoys me, it's unhealthy. aaaaand i'm complaining about complaining, hypocritical, abso-friggin-lutely.

I hate HTML with a passion. I want to strangle someone when I see anything in bold, italics, underlined, different fonts, different sizes, etc.

@LovelyPlum: Yuck!!

People who make their own spots in parking garages (at the end of the aisle). The only bright side is that I'm more likely to find a covered spot.

@LovelyPlum: Lol, ok thanks! I hate it the most when I get emails from dumb coworkers!

Well this just happened courtesy of my dog...

@Boopers: pick up the pieces and take it to the bank!

When people on a running/walking trail don't move over for people with strollers. Oh, hey - let me just run in the dirt and have weeds smack my kids face. No!!! Scoot over! It's so rude.

Two ladies did this twice today and it was so infruiating!

Every time I go to trader joes it's completely packed. I go early on a Monday assuming people are at work. Nope. Apparently not. I hate dodging people with the cart so I Just grab a few things and go. Oh and I live in old people central so all the old people stop and talk to me about DS and I'm like just let me get out of this crowded nightmare!!! I love trader joes but I HATE how it's constantly packed!

Both my mom and MIL like to call each day to see "how the baby is". He's 9 weeks old. It's fine - I can deal with that, but if I don't answer, they then call my cell and leave a message there as well. And then, if I don't call back in an hour or two, they call again! Drives. me. crazy. I got your message - I'll call you back when I'm not feeding him, running errands, trying to sleep, etc!

Most of my annoyances are commuting related these days. During rush hour, people who are walking slowly through the station because they are checking their phones-- look up. Walk briskly to where you are going, THEN check your phone. It's rush hour and even the 8 month pregnant lady is trying to get around you. (Please note, I do not mind people who walk slow for any real reason, blister, injury, old, pregnant, whatever. It's only the people who are just being inconsiderate playing on their phones and not noticing anyone else).

Also, people sitting in the handicapped seat on the train or bus who don't look around every once in a while to see if there is someone who needs the seat. If you don't want to be aware and offer, just don't sit in that seat. Sit in another one, whatever.

Finally, people at work who keep asking me for stuff. This one is irrational-- I have one more week before my mat leave, if they need something from me, this is the time to ask, but I keep thinking, how am I supposed to get stuff done if you keep asking me for more??? But-- one more week. I can do it!

@PrincessBaby: haha well another pet peeve is people who take strollers on public transportation during rush hour! There is no room on the trains! Take it at another time when they aren't packed! (But I do realize that I'm sure there are times when people don't have a choice and it can't be fun for them, so I keep my mouth shut). But yeah, in general I just can't tolerate stupidity.

Currently effing annoyed as hell at the guy who lives below us. Firstly, we're on the third floor of an apartment, and he keeps leaving his windows open when it's 90 degrees out. Heat rises, so our electric bill was $200 last month from trying keep it just livable in our place. (It's also a loft, so our tv is actually on the fourth floor, making it worse.)

Secondly, his freaking car alarm is going off literally 10+ times a day/night. Thankfully it's far enough away that the fan we use for white noise keeps it from waking us up, but it's still insanely annoying. I finally figured out it was his car today, and got the license number and called the apartment office.

This is also the same guy who when he first moved in, put his surround sound speakers up against his ceiling (our floor) and blasted his tv/music all the time, including late at night. I could literally write a playlist of everything he listened to the first week or so he was here, until our noise complaints and going and knocking on his door finally convinced him to turn that crap down!

A coworker who sits at the other end of the office that I can hear clip her nails. WTF?!?! Do that crap at home!!
