People who talk trash about friends or family behind their back. Most of the time, this is done to make the person doing the trash talking look better then whoever is getting trashed.

People that think that because they are physically bigger than the next guy can do whatever they want, even though they know, or don't care that it will upset or **** off the other guy/person.

Interupter-talkers: Basically people that when in conversation with you cut off what you are saying so they can say what they want, even though you were literally mid sentence.

People that are users- These people ALWAYS are looking at people and trying to figure out what each person can offer them, and will take opportunities to take things from anyone, without ever giving anything back/holding up their end of the bargain/ agreement.

-people who comment on how I look. I know this sounds odd-- I am not talking compliments such as "oh you look nice today" but discussion of how I look as though I am not within earshot. Recently when I was in a store trying something on, some woman said to her companion "look at her. She can wear something like that because of her shape" and started dissecting how I was built. I know she probably didn't mean anything by it, but it annoyed me.

-being asked questions that people already know the answers to. One friend was famous for this, and would ask "what should I do?" I would answer, and she would say "no, I can't do that." I would suggest something else, and she would shoot that down too. Finally she would answer her own question. Made me nuts!

-people that talk. with. lots. of. pauses. I have a coworker who does this. Drives. many. of. us. crazy.


What are yours?
Agreed on all the bolded. The other ones for me are ignorant people who know nothing except a few things on a certain topic (sports, politics, for example), people who can't remember anything for more than 24 hours, people who argue with me about my line of work when they aren't in it, asking how much I make, and people who want to know every meaningless detail about me.

Another one:

People who are prone to frivolous ego battles.. both online and offline. I won't give any specific examples but look here and you'll see plenty of threads where one person and another are going back and forth in a thread for many pages.. I'd just cut my losses and enjoy a beer or a day on the beach.. unless I get a pot of gold for winning.

Wow. Where do you hang out? But all people talk with their mouth open or they are mumbling. Did you mean talk while eating maybe?

Here's one from city life (as well as mall shopping)--

people who walk slowly (stroll) two or three abreast and are oblivious to anyone trying to pass.

Eversince I read of Freud asking this loaded, trumped question of his patients, to get to the quick of understanding this person better, find out what lurks in their subconscious minds, and how revealing the answers can be, I was !

My Eastern philosophy readings didn't help: So easy to become what we hate!

If you've got an elephantine memory, remember these types of questions of people in your past, you will see and you will be through the passing of time!

Oh, alright!!! People who peeve me: those showing up early for an appointment (love them to death for showing up late!), poor/sloppy liars (I love a good expert liar!), nonstop talkers, perennially positive-minded people!

I know practically everyone does it...but I still think that people that are on their phones constantly when you're trying to have a real conversation with them are incredibly rude. You don't need to set your phone on the table in front of you at a resteraunt unless you are expecting an extremely important call. Texting, facebook, and twitter can wait. I hate when I'm trying to actually talk to someone face to face and they are busy texting or have their eyes glued to their phone for some reason.

I hate when people "flake out" on things. If you say you're going to do something, follow through! I used to have a friend that was constantly making plans with me (her idea, so I know she wasn't just being nice or something) and then texting me hours before to tell me she wasn't feeling well, someone in her family wasn't feeling well, her sister suddenly needed help with something, etc. She probably did this at least half of the times we were suppposed to get together. I eventually just stopped responding to her all together.
