What really pisses you off?!
I hate when you open the door and no one says thank you. Teenagers get a bum rap because most of the people who are not gracious tend to be the elderly. I am not being paid to open that door. Its called courtesy.

I absolutely hate when I am at the cashier ( of any store) and I'm getting ready to swipe my card, and the person who is behind me is like right by my side. I swear once this lady was beside me and she was touching my shoulder as I was swiping my card!!!! Next time it happens I am going to say something!! Give me my space damn it!!! Happens to me all the time.

I have two children who are both still in car seats. So what pisses me off the most is when people with large vehicles park so close to me that I can not open my mid size cars doors to allow my child to get in and for me to buckle them up with out my car door hitting theres. I feel better now that it is off my chest.

I have been thinking of getting some cards printed up with pre-written phrases that you can tuck in someones window, like: “No matter how much you spent on your car, when you park like a douche, you still look like a douche" (for the pricks who angle park and take two spots) "Today was your lucky day, I chose not to ding your door when I had to squeeze my way through to buckle my child in the backseat, perhaps tomorrow karma will drop a tree on your parked car" "Hey stupid, its illegal to leave your kids in a vehicle unattended" and "The sign says 'for parents with child' asshole parking is two rows over" ...Anyone wanna split on printing?

I work in a pediatric clinic at the Stollery. Nothing pisses me off more than a Mom who calls in and says she can't make her kid's specialist appointment because "she's got other things to do." Seriously, what's more important than your kid??

One thing that aggregates me more than anything else is when someone in my family interrupts me! The interrupter can be 4 or 34. Age doesn't seem to matter! My husband is probably the worst interrupter! He tends to feel that he needs to blurt out his thoughts before he forgets them, regardless if you are in the middle of a story or not. My sons have seem to have inherited this nasty trait. For me to tell a tale that should last a few minutes, can end up taking over 10 minutes with the constant interruptions that I have to contend with. With my 4 year old, I am a little nicer as I blame age, (4 year olds tend to just blurt out what is on their mind regardless if there is talking or a good part in a movie, or even if you are taking a nap). However, my 9 year old and certainly my husband KNOW better! Ranting and yelling and just giving up on my train of thought doesn't seem to fix the situation. I am now considering giving them a taste of their own medicine. Sadly, I do not think they will take my interruptions as seriously as I take theirs!

People who leave shopping carts in the middle of parking stalls at the store. At very least, you could push it up to the top of the stall so someone can still park there & leave the handi-cap stalls free of carts too please.

Blackberry cell phones - they encourage you to use it for all your important items and then it quits completely and you haven't done any of the backup you know you should have!!!!!! Another massive waste of time that really P's me off!!!

When im grocery shopping... and my littest is screaming, because his big sister is bugging him, or he's tired.. or whatever.. and OTHER moms stare and give youu looks... like their kids don't EVER cry... thats gets me!

What really pisses me off is that I waited for all these years for all my kid,s to grow up so I could get a life, only to find out now I am still doing all their banking paying their bills doing laundry, shopping, making appointments etc etc. Now I am running three households. Don't they grow up and meet women anymore to do all this like I had to. What in the world is going on with this world now a days..
