What gets your goat?

Question

When we run out of coffee and no one puts it on the grocery list is one of mine.

Answer 1

Adults who don't know the difference between the possesive tense and a contraction.

People on Y!A who, upon reading your answer, edit theirs to match yours

Jerks who elbow their way onto the train when they can clearly see that there is no room as though they're lives are so important that they can't wait the for the next train even though you can see the lights in the tunnel

Tourists who ask for directions and then argue with your instructions because "that's not what the map says"

People who don't hold the door when you're walking in right behind them as though the mere extension of their arm is an inconvenience

People who pop and chomp on their gum like heifers grazing in a pasture and though anyone wants to hear their lips smacking together

I could go on and on...

Answer 2

People who area inconsiderate of others.

People who try to create problems with their drama and create conflict, then come back and spy to see what happened as a sick joke.

Writing a grocery list and leaving it at home (ME!)
Forgetting to take the trash to the street on the right day

People who cannot take no for an answer and keep insisting
that you do something

Answer 3

I think my worst goat choker was when I was working and constantly got more work piled on me because other employees just could find the time to do their work, if I griped I was ignored. Once when I had a boss backed into a corner on it -- he gave a new employee me so I was no longer under his thumb. I fixed it, my welcome was a scathing memo about inequality of duties and distribution--she called confused, I explained it and we had a good relationship for years. We even went on volks marches and white water rafting together, leaving the hubs home to tend the short guys.

Answer 4

Sitting upon the throne & reaching for the bathroom tissue, only to see an empty roll. There are just the two of us here & the one who takes the last of the bathroom tissue should replace the empty roll with a new one. Right? I hate getting stranded. :(

Answer 5

Me, being the one who makes the grocery list, shops, puts it away and then finding I did not purchase the dogs food.

Answer 6

My stepdaughter still laughs over the note I taped inside the freezer compartment of our refrigerator years ago:

If you must use the last of the ice, please refill the trays.

I've never understood why people put empty containers back in the refrigerator.

I also have no patience with (a) stupidity or (b) rudeness.

Answer 7

People who are fake. Yeah, I know, not a very creative answer, but my general reaction is a strong desire to walk up to them and shake them until they stop it. Violently. It's so freakin' stupid! What the hell are you afraid of and does that poorly executed charade really work for you?!! Yugh!!

Answer 8

People who are extremely self centered and relate everything that happens back to themselves and then consider themselves the injured party when in fact, they were not even a part of whatever it was.

Answer 9

waymorparsecs,fernwood, sage_seeker and Merle say it all for me plus somebody who thinks they know it all or found out about something before anyone else did. And people that no matter where you have been or what ever you have done, they have already been there and done that !!!!

Answer 10

Mean spirited people. They want the whole world to be as miserable as they are...that gets my goat.
