As a follow up to my earlier post I thought I would share 5 more things that I hate. However I have been admonished by another blogger for using the word hate. So now it is 5 other things that annoy me! You will also notice that this time I have not mentioned anything my wife’s does.
- People who get their opinions from papers without bothering to think for themselves
- People who hog the pavement. Often traveling around in groups moving at a pace even a snail would find slow.
- People who hug me when I barely know them. This probably dates back to my church days when random people would hug me. The next person who does this to me will have their ear licked.
- People who overuse my name. You know the types have to repeat your name every few words, presumably proud that can remember it. I already know my name so you don’t need to repeat it, also I am aware you are talking to me.
- Dogs in coats, they just look silly. Evolution has already provided them with one, no need for you to make them look ridiculous.
- Bingo – don’t why I just don’t like it.
- Blogs that have a number in their title but don’t stick to it!
There are some of my annoyances please feel free to share yours.
Hehe, guilty of no.4, Eric!!! 😀
Nice post.. and yes, most of them are on my list too. And blasted jaywalkers in crowded malls, almost as if they are visiting a tourist attraction.. any articles in list-icle format.. “10 reasons why you should not eat potatoes”, “5 things Hitler loved”… the moment I see a number there, I don’t read it at all, no matter how enticing the topic…
Ok, what does that prove? That we are just being sour old curmudgeons, I suppose. Hehe..

Yep – putting a heading with numbers is supposed to attract views, like you it tends to put me off.

Haha! In respect of 2, I am increasingly annoyed when people fill the sidewalks in front of their houses with ground cover, making it impossible to walk on the pavement. That said, we live in a village that visitors think it quiet and with no traffic. They dawdle down the main road as if they own it, causing traffic jams.
Of course, I can be forgiven for causing my own traffic jam when I stop my car in the middle of the road and have a conversation through the driver’s window with another local…. 😉

I can’t understand why anyone would use number 7. It would put me totally off if I was expecting 5 things and they only gave 4, or more than 5. I suppose we all make mistakes.
Hugs to you Eric 🙂

Have all so notice the ones like ‘5 things Hugh does every day and number 3 will blow your mind!’ number 3 turns out to be he walks the dog every day. My son calls it click bate.
Because you hugged me I will hunt you down next time I’m in Bournemouth and lick your ear!

I’m going to become an offender of #5…My pup leaves piles of white hair everywhere he goes, no matter how much I brush him. When we move to out Tiny House Truck, that will be…impossible. He’s getting some sort of a clipping at that time ~ I’ll do it as I used to professionally groom horses for shows ~ but I’m not sure how much to take off. His coat is so beautiful. 😦 But the HAIR OMG. Any suggestions out there? I know tons about animal husbandry, and nutrition, so I’m pretty confident there. Argh.
