Things that Irrationally Annoy Me
03.10.2011 1. When people ahead of you in line reach for the divider and put it on the conveyor belt. It's so...separatist! I know it's just a way to make sure the checker doesn't combine your items but for some reason, it totally bugs. Like, really, isn't the space just enough? Do we need a whole plastic BAR? I know, I said these are IRRATIONAL annoyances.
2. When I am asked a question more than one time. Even if I didn't respond the first time and the asker has no way to know if I heard him or not.
3. When people volunteer to help me.
4. When someone interrupts my thinking.
5. Hyphenated last names.
6. When people thumb through the papers at the printer and take forever to give you your papers. Even though you can see them. Right. There.
7. When red wine drinkers don't realize their teeth are blue.

I am SO with you regarding annoyance number one! Sometimes it seems as though people in line are being paid to be divider managers or something! I come from the east coast, and there, people just naturally leave a space in between their items and the next person's items. It is basically insulting to place a divider, as it insults the cashier's intelligence, in that you are making her think she is too dumb to be able to tell the difference between one set of groceries and the next set. I also have this thing about "PS", or Personal Space in lines. The rule I was taught, is that basically, if you can lift your arm out to your side, and it hits the next person, then they are too close and violating your personal space.
