Stupid things that instantly piss you off

[Aggie_Ama]

I have a fairly simple last name unlike my maiden name so I am really annoyed when people mispronounce it. Seriously they add letters or give it an almost ethnic sound. It is not much harder than Smith so it really annoys me!

I also get annoyed when people call my Mrs. but have no way of knowing I am married. And if you can tell I am married, I hate being called Miss.

And my biggest pet peeve? When someone calls me "Miss Amanda". Unless you are my 92 year old Mammaw don't even think about it!! My old boss did it and it felt so patronizing. I wanted to throw something at him or scream every time he did it.

You should never move to the South and that even includes Maryland

I am in the south! I think it was the way he said it in a sing song manner. UGH!

I don't mind "Miss Catherine" by children - but then again, I hail from the South and in my family this is reserved for single women "above a certain age" - which I am I do prefer that to "Ms Last Name" outside of a professional setting as this makes me feel older for some reason....in my professional environment everyone pretty much uses first names unless we are talking to the media, etc.

What I really hate is to be called "babe", "honey", "sweetie", or whatever by store clerks of either gender, or just strangers in general. Endearments are for partners/significant others/spouses. I know that a lot of people do this and mean nothing by it, and that is fine, but I find it irritating.

+1, Catrin. Being called "Miss" for myself, I view as very tame. The other stuff, I just dislike from either male or female unless it is my partner.

But he doesn't even call me any of the above which when I hear other people call me any of those 3 terms, it's jarring for me to hear it.

I hate rude people! The ones that can't wait patiently in a line because "I'm in a hurry" and when they get to the register have to go get something they forgot. Go ahead rude person, just make everybody wait, it's your world I'm just livin in it! The good thing is that being nice to somebody in this town, goes a long way. Sad but true. Most places I frequently shop at know me and just a little "hi how are you?" goes really far. SAD...

" Mrs." doesn't bother me, because I either sound like

Mrs. His mom
or
Mrs. My mom

I get called " Miss 'My First Name' " at work sometimes; it used to bug me, and I used to take A STAND, but now I just imagine myself as Miss Scarlet, making clothing out of the window blinds or whatever I can find. If not MizzScahlet, then I am the RomperRoom lady, which is at least equally ridiculous.

Well, maybe I am projecting my own stuff around the things that piss me off, but I am human. I grew up in a super competitive academic type community and while I swore I wouldn't do that to my kids, in the end I wanted them to have the same great public education I had . Yes, I turned into my parents, I guess. But, the bragging insufferable parents really exist in all walks of life. Too many people live their lives through their children; while I love mine, I tried to see them as real people, with flaws as all people have. So when I hear people constantly droning on and on about their kids, I just think, gee, what is missing in their lives?
