What are some of the things that rub you up the wrong way?

Question

And can you maintain diplomacy when having to deal with, something that aggravates you?

Answer 1

Taxi drivers, Cyclists, People who leave taps running, People who dont say thanks when you hold a door open for them, People who dont hold a door open for you, people who play their music all night loudly on a regular basis, people who dump their rubbish on the streets, Lying politicians, Washing powder commercials, Stain remover commercials, Anti ageing Commercials, And all the other non working products that are thrown in our faces every day on T.V and Radio.. etc etc etc

Answer 2

IM A SERVER & that says alot right there.
I cannot stand when a person Im serving at the resturant I work at runs me to death when I get even remotely close to the table; is a very needy & special care type of person (i.e: steaks cooked ike this but not like that.. extra of this but not too much of this); a person who is very rude from the get-go (if my fried are not hot then I will send them back until I get them the way I want them); people who have NEVER in the their pampered life been a server themselves; people who complain abouyt the wait at te door & on their food when they see its busy & that i'm running around like a chicken with its head cutoff; people who think that they can get free stuff b/c of complaining; people who don't like to tip a server (I only get paid 2.13 an hour folks; a little $ for my power bill & not my gas tank would be nice.); people who let their children speak to me as if im a slave & servant; people who let their children make a HUGE mess & leave it for me to clean up & tip me not even 5%; screaming, whining children; & people that let their babies scream & scream without comforting them; I could go on...
I deal with it all by thinking: This is only temporary & the person that left me nothing is not the next person that could leave me a fat tip & help out more than they know.
**If you tip; thank-you. If you don't; I hope you enjoyed your food...b/c I know I wouldn't have if I'd have known what they did to it.**

Answer 3

A girl that has to look in the mirror every five minutes. I don't know if I maintain diplomacy since I usually don't ask them for another date if they are that obsessed with themself.

Answer 4

White people that act like they are black.
People that talk like Woody Allen.
Pedophiles.
Snobs.
Bums.
I have always had a very short fuse and when confronted with things that aggravate me, I tend to fly off the handle, speak my mind, and make too many enemies.

Answer 5

With re: to dating (since that is the category)...people with poor hygiene, pessimists, bad manners, rudeness, etc.

I CAN maintain diplomacy/tact any time I choose to...alas, I don't always choose to do so. LOL!

Answer 6

No... most of the things that really irk the crap outta me REALLY drive me up a wall.

I hate being in a nice, PUBLIC, restaurant and hearing people slurp their soup, drag their teeth on their forks, put their elbows on the table, don't tip well, leave the bathroom looking horrid.

You wouldn't do any of 1/2 those things in your own house, and the other 1/2 come on... Eating utensils are to eat with not eat themselves.

A lot of Americans in general just gross me out....

Obese people. Not the people with medical conditions and can't help themselves, and not the people who chose to be obese and are trying to diet and exercise, but the OVERLY obese people who just don't give a sh!t. but still sit there and whine I AM SO FAT.

Answer 7

Some of the things that rub me the wrong way is like when I was talking to another guy my boyfriend would get mad.

Answer 8

Apathetic people bug me. They don't do any thing to try to make things better for the rest of the world.
Yes, I can be diplomatic with those people and some times I try to give them ideas on what they might be able to do to get involved.

Answer 9

being purposely ignored, passive-aggression, guilt trips, whining, lying, showing off, manipulation, authoritarian parents, spanking and yelling, brand name loyalty, when people quote tons of lines from movies or TV shows, when people over-do telling dumb jokes, know-it-all-ism, attention hogging, snobbery, when people don't think critically, taking advantage of people, stealing, cheating, phoniness, "privateness," religious evangelism, conservative right wingers OR really leftist people focrefully pushing their political "morals" on people, people who don't openly communicate, bigotry, etc.

How to deal with them diplomatically? Just try not to be around people who do these things as much as possible. If you have to be, just try to keep yourself distracted. Find someone or something else to occupy yourself. You could try talking openly with them, but if they don't cooperate, just let them know where you stand and don't take any sh** from them.

Answer 10

I mostly hate rude drivers no blinker,cutting me off, tailgating. I get very frustrated but I never resort to flipping people off but it defiantly rubs me the wrong way!
