oh yeah, well when you put it that way, I see why it bothers you and it would bother me as well if I were in your situation.

I know but I'm interested to hear you explain it.

This is like pet peeve #1 for me. I've had people who refuse to give my armrest back even when I put my arm on it and forcefully try to edge them off.

ditto for the people in the cinema using my f*cking armrest - i love the jostling though

You know what grinds my gears? Approving a Facebook friend request from someone I haven't seen in a decade and half only to discover that during that time they have apparently lost their mind because their profile is overflowing extremist political and religious ranting and raving.

You know what else grinds my gears? People who spell "heroin" with an extra "e" on the end. It's like an epidemic here on MB, 99% of the time anyone mentions this drug they spell it wrong.

So folks, for the record: "heroin" is the drug, "heroine" is a female hero. This is an important distinction to make, lest people start thinking G.G. Allin was killed by a woman of great courage and moral fiber.

^ yess

I really, really get pissed off when people bump into me and don't say excuse me. It happens way, way, way too often. Yes, I know I'm short and don't look like I could do much but I will punch you in the kidney if you knock into me!

People who walk in groups of 3+ people down narrow paths/alleys and will give barely any room to a single person walking in the opposite direction. Seriously, how hard would it be for them to move to the side just long enough that other people dont have to do that weird sideways shuffle walk.

When you're in a lecture and the person in front of you stretches so far back that they're basically on top of you. And people behind you that put their feet on your chair.

When you're trying to pass someone on a sidewalk from behind and they somehow automatically gravitate to the side you're trying to pass them on.
