What Really Annoys You

[Coop 7461]

For me, it’s trying to open a band-aid wrapper. It’s not like you happen to decide to try and see which end to open from. Occasionally there is blood flowing and you don’t have the three minutes it takes to decide which end to peal from and then get the the two sides separated to start the process. At least the whisper thin plastic bags from Kroger tells you which end to start the fight.

At least put a bright red arrow pointing to START HERE AND GOOD LUCK,  Just my vent!

Hope it heals soon!

Bagged coffee closures. I like Dunkin Donuts coffee, but the bags it comes in are so hard to open that I've stopped trying. I started cutting them open and dumping it in a jar.  And if you get the bigger quantities it comes in a huge single use plastic container. I've switched to bulk beans and grind it myself.

Coop, I gave up long ago, and started just ripping the Band-Aid wrapper down the middle. The bandage inside (usually) remains undamaged.

I still have kids around most of the time. I ask one of them to open it when my fingers are affected or are putting pressure on a bleeder. My days without them are coming soon though...

I thought we're not supposed to talk politics here.

Paper towel holders in bathrooms that are above shoulder height. You wash your hands and then reach up to grab a paper towel to dry you hands and end up with wet forearms.

People driving that have no clue as to what the lines on the road mean. My neighbor last night told me when he was coming home from town that a fairly new pick up truck tried to pass on a double yellow line and had no choice but to hit the ditch or my neighbor head on.  He chose the ditch and got his first flying lesson.  My neighbor shook his head and continued home.   Idiots don't require anyones help other than the police.

Shower heads that I can't stand completely under. I hate having to duck in my own shower so I don't hit the shower head with my head.

Since you brought it up, those grocery bags didn't use to bother me until you stopped being able to lick your fingers to open them.

People and their phones.

Yes, people and cell phones.

Then cell phones.

Then just people.

Then changing smoke detector batteries.  I know that was October, but I'm still aggrevated.

[Mark J 2193]

And "drive by" posters.

People that have trouble opening band aids, double yellow lines, people who lick their fingers to open bags and, easily opened coffee bags...... everything really!

That's my technique too.  Works pretty good.

An grocery store that doesn't carry Jolly Time Popcorn.

Yes, especially when people have gone to a lot of effort to provide detailed & thoughtful responses.

[legenddc 439]

People who list used tools for more then what they go for new, right now and in stock. As much as I would like to drive to your house, hand over cash and hope what you say is true I'll just take the risk of going to the store and buying a brand new one for cheaper...

I haven’t had popcorn since the theaters shut down a year ago. Popcorn and M&M’s! Great idea. 

There ya go again, costing me money Chet! 

So Jolly Time is the good stuff?

I think it is pretty good, but more than that it is kind of a family thing.  My mom's uncle grew popcorn, thousands of acres of the stuff and sold the crop to Jolly Time.

Those resealable bags the you have to tear open the first time.  They always tear so the the 2 layers are perfectly aligned so you cant' separate them the next time the dog wants a treat.

People who think that every quiet moment must be filled with talking - sometimes quiet is OK.

You're kidding right?  Quiet means that there's no idiots making foolish noises.  I love quiet, it means I'm the only idiot within my ears reach.

Read it again. I think you misunderstood. He agrees with you.

Everything annoys me!  Enough said.

I wish Hershey would go back to using paper wrappers on their candy bars.   Used to be able to open those with just one hand.

And while we're at it... cereal, crackers, etc. should go back to using waxed paper instead of plastic.

Blame that on the "Cylenol" killings from the Chicago in 1982. Major changes to all sorts of product packaging occurred as a result.

[RichardA 5022]

Yeah, that packaging change kinda pissed me off today.  I bought a whole pork loin, and getting the package open was a struggle.  Some of the packaging has gone a little overboard.

I am assuming you meant Tylenol
