because it's not the flaking that angers me, but the predictability of the flaking. ya mention an idea to someone and they give ya an unenthusiastic "yes." maybe because they were too chickenshit to say no, or maybe it just sounded like a good idea at the time. but, i can always tell when i'm gonna have to re-confirm and hand-hold until the event or i'm gonna get the "uh. yeah, the wife has some friends in town, so we're gonna hang out with them..." right before i was counting on getting out of the house for the first time in weeks of my satisfying, allthough sometimes socially boring life as a young parent.

I feel you man, it's my number 1 pet peeve by far. And most of my friends do it, it's like making a commitment means nothing anymore. The only reason I'm still friends with them is because they follow through enough that I know they don't secretly hate me and bail because of that hatred.
I too though have been driven to absolutely hating someone just because of that crap. The worst is when someone cancels with a good reason, but reschedules and then they pick the new date. But then they cancel that, too. And then after you've cooled off from being super pissed about that, they schedule another day. And bail on that. Needless to say, I'm not friends with that person anymore.

Speaking of urinals.......I hate this more than almost anything: At the gym I go to some people shower after they workout or whatever and walk around totally naked. Not my thing, but I can live with it, its a locker room. What infuriates me is when i am taking a piss, fully clothed, and a naked guy (usually obese or old) comes right up to the urinal next to me. It is just the most uncomfortable 20 seconds ever. Nothings is more awkward. I just want to ask people sometimes: What the hell are you thinking?

and, conversely, i think i annoy my friends by being the polar opposite. i won't commit to anything until i KNOW it'll work for me. so, i annoy people be straddling the fence, but, hey, when i say i'll be there, i'll freakin' be there.

Truth. I hate going back on what I say. So I will only commit to things I know I can do. People get pissed, but its better than people saying, "yeah, I'll be there" and not show up. It's chicken ****. I was starting to feel I was the only one...

Unsolicited advice.
Realizing I do something that I think is annoying.
When people make a big deal when someone says "we" in place of the full name of their favorite team.
Endless Manning vs. Brady debates.
When people call me "buddy". I'm not your buddy, guy.
Trying to sell my house and buy a new one at the same time.
When people go out of their way to be offended about something.
edit: realizing I'm getting old and lame.

Something like this happened to me this summer. I work for my city, and so I was out working and this car pulls up and the guy is like, "Hey pal, someone spilled something back there...etc."
For some reason, the guy just calling me "pal" really pissed me off. Like, can't you just say, "Hey, excuse me..." or something.

As a guy who worked in retail, I'll offer a rebuttal:
Our managers ***** to us about the importance of doing that, so we do it. Aside from that obvious point, it is a method of increasing sales by answering people's questions who would otherwise not have asked and simply left because they assumed something they wanted help for didn't have an answer (like a missing size/product). It also lets potential shoplifters know that we are aware of their presence.

i hate it when people waste food. i ******* hate it. See, i get you bought and it is yours and u can do whatever you want with it. But if u buy an XXXXL Burger dont just eat a fifth and throw the rest away, cause it wouldnt taste as good the next day. Food is valueable, there are enough people all over the world starving. Yes you finish eating it wouldnt help them, but show some appreciation to that.
On the other hand, if it is just ******* disgusting its fine. But dont go to a buffet and leave stuff on the plate. If you only have like 10 french fries on your table, it wont hurt if u just finish them. Enjoy every single bit. Appreciate it.

This exactly. I have been in plenty of locker rooms in my life but the gym I go to is terrible. It always seems like whenever I go to wash my hands this fat old dude who just finished showering is brushing his teeth naked and there are only 3 sinks so you are close to them regardless. Personally after I shower I always keep my towel wrapped around my waist but I understand people naked walking to your locker. But hell man if you have time to go to your locker and get your toothbrush put on some damn clothes before you go to the sinks. This dude really ticks me off. I'll be like sitting on a bench tying my shoes and then this dude brushes past my face with his wang hanging like 5 inches from me. It's ridiculous.

The gym I used to belong to was attached to a hospital so there were a lot of older people recovering from heart surgery or something similar. These fat old men would talk to each other naked with the leg up. Like every one else I understand the walking around getting to your locker, do what you do, however when you are talking about your stock portfolio you don't need to do your best Captain Morgan impression in your birthday suit.
