My wife and I are Cold Stone Creamery freaks! Really…it’s a problem and I seriously think we keep the one down the street from our house in business. When you go to Cold Stone for ice cream, you expect a little bit of a wait. Not a big deal really…you get up there, order your ice cream, watch them mix all the sugary greatness together and go about your lives happier with a bowl of delicious ice cream in your hand.

Not too long ago, we ran into a couple of ladies that were taking their kids out for ice cream. Great…they are getting their kids out, enjoying the nice day and having fun out together…so where did it go wrong? They are COMPLETELY those people in line. Their conversation with each other is more important than making sure that they…and their kids…are not a nu sense to everyone around them. (more…)

This has to rank on my top 10 list, so let me paint you a picture. You are walking through the grocery store, with the list your wife handed to you, trying to find that very specific kind of noodle that she wants to cook with. As you are contemplating…how can there be so many noodles…a perfectly normal human being walks by. All of the sudden you hear it..

beep beep! Honey! Don’t forget to pick up paper towels! beep beep!

beep! beep! I know…you told me 5 times this morning…I got it! beep! beep!

beep! beep! Ok…just making sure…you forgot last time! beep! beep!

Great! Another person in a public area with a Nextel phone that wants us…their attentive audience…to hear EVERYTHING they say to their gracious talker on the other end of the phone! Why on Earth, do these people insist on making all of their conversations public knowledge? (more…)

Everyone knows one  of these people. They just can’t seem to do ANYTHING quietly. Every move, every word and every action in their life has to be at a volume that just isn’t acceptable to the world around them.

You are having a nice quiet cup of coffee at the office trying to clear your brain as you get ready for the day. Maybe its spring and you can hear the birds chirping outside. All of the sudden…SLAM! GOOD MORNING!!!…COUGH! SNEEZE!…HOW ARE YOU?! That’s right…your loud coworker is here to disrupt the entire office! Great! Just what I was looking forward to this morning! Worse yet, all of that noise came from the complete other side of the office. He hasn’t even really made it over your way yet, and to add a cherry to this sundae…his office is right across from yours! Now you get to listen to the obnoxious speaker phone conversations and annoying music that you hate all day long! It doesn’t get much better than this… (more…)

So what started the idea of this site and the whole premis behind it? Something that annoys the absolute hell out of me! I know…big surprise given the domain name.

So I am driving down 400 south this morning and I come across that typical sideways driver. What is a sideways driver you might ask? They are one of the most annoying creatures on the planet when you are driving in periods of high traffic.

A sideways driver pays more attention to the drivers next to them…instead of the ones in front of them! (more…)
