My friend's boyfriend does that. He grunts with every bite and does a growling, "MMMMMMMMM" while he's chewing. I want to savage him with my telescoping baton every time he does it.

When a cat makes the "om nom nom" sound, it's cute. When a person makes that noise, it's annoying. Double standard? Maybe. Doesn't change how stupid and annoying it is.[DOUBLEPOST=1351831096][/DOUBLEPOST]
It's still a little annoying, but I can't hold it against the person if a food is that crunchy. It's unavoidable. The really annoying stuff is something like chewing with your mouth open, which is just rude. Everyone here was raised not to do that... there's no excuse.
I think that was on an episode of "Taboo".
People who bury perfectly good jars in the ground. I don't get it either.
I have another one. Adding "Y'all" to the end of everything. "Happy fall, y'all!", "Merry Christmas, y'all!" , "Cheers y'all!", etc.
I understand ya'll is a colloquialism. I remember my relatives from Alabama using it often. I have nothing against Paula Deen or other people from the south, bless their hearts. However, it seems like y'all is popping up everywhere. It's like nails on a chalkboard in my brain.

In that same vein, adding "You know what I mean?" to every other thing you say.
Advertisements which automatically start playing sound when you load a page. If I'm loading a video, sure, video ads are a given, but I don't expect ads to start blasting sound when I'm reading an article. I now actively refuse to buy FeBreze air freshener because of their annoying sound-ads.
The total number of air freshening products I've purchased in my life can probably be counted on one hand, but I digress.

I got similar, people who say "You see what I'm saying?" It is just the way they say it that boils my blood.
There was a guy I worked with who used to add "y'know what I'm sayin'?" at the end of every other sentence. I used to tell him I didn't know what he was saying because he hadn't said much yet.
Intentional or not, I lol'ed.
Toastmasters for 3 years, they've driven the "Um's" out of me, but I know there are certain words I fall back on regularly "particularly" "fantastic" "amazing", I could be an Apple presenter.
Toasters that can't fit my specific brand of bread. Why would they make these horrible machinations if they don't work with every piece of bread? WOULD ADDING A FEW CENTIMETERS BE TOO MUCH TO ASK?!
I am incredibly concerned that my mentioning of Toastmasters precipitated your toast complaint.
I found a quite nice toaster a few years back that could accommodate pretty much any size slice of bread I could throw at it, and bagels. It worked for almost 4 months.
It's just the Big Bang Theory, you didn't miss anything funny.
Pretty much just reminded me of my toast issues, indeed.
Man ain't that the worst? Friggin' technology.
Not being able to remove deleted videos from my favorites page. It just makes me feel sad that I can't watch them there any more.
The unpassable driver. You know, he's driving 40 in a 70, then when you go to pass... he's matching your speed. annoying on the free way, dangerous as fuck on a 2 lane road.
Along a similar vein, people who refuse to let you merge into their lane. I can kind of understand not wanting to let people get in front of you (but only kind of), but there are people around her who will speed up to prevent you from merging into their lane in front of them, and then slow down when you decide to just get in behind them and prevent you from doing that.
Along yet another similar vein, people who ignore "lane ends" signs in construction areas until the last minute while everyone else has already merged over in a safe manner, and they expect to just be let in, cutting ahead of the people who weren't dicks.
- People who use debit or credit cards for paying for shit under 20$. I wish more places had "cash" only or GTFO. I don't have the patience to wait for fuckers to pay their Tim's coffee with a fucking debit card.
- Teenagers at movie theaters and mom's with children. Children under 12 shouldn't be allowed in movie theaters after 6 PM and their tickets should cost 50$.
- People who park badly. Yeah, I keyed your shit at least 50 times, congrats.
- My wife and I might start to try to have a kid soon but I'm not ready for the commitment of uploading so many baby pictures on Facebook.
- While driving your car, it is not the time to talk on the phone, text your friend, put on makeup, eat, fall asleep.....

Since all I have to do is swipe a card and go, I'm faster with my debit card than a lot of people are with cash. Some people still look at card machines like they are magic, which at this point I do not understand. Then those people who can't figure out how to use a card machine after they have been out for *years* get in front of me in the express lane and I go into total silent rages. Actually, for stuff like Starbucks (since I don't have a Tim Hortons down the street like my parents who live near the border), I just have my Starbucks gift card/phone app where I can just scan it and go.
Much faster than the people digging in their pockets for exact change.Since all I have to do is swipe a card and go, I'm faster with my debit card than a lot of people are with cash.

For each person to get it right, 9 others get it wrong. So, I will generalize and said, fuck em all.
Sorry.
