To clarify, I'm talking about things that you like/ like doing that drive other people insane, not thing that you do to deliberately annoy others.
For example I know a lot of my friends hate loud exhaust but I personally love it. I don't have a loud exhaust on my bike but I laugh every time I see someone getting annoyed by other bike's exhaust sound.
What's yours?
Telling puns
Haha that I can relate. Especially bad puns…
Who is Puns and what are you telling them?
Always booking trips overseas, and telling people how much it cost (always a great deal) and how long I'll be going away for…
Cracking wise on ozbargain - as mskeggs so eloquently put it, i seem to have a small band of 'fairy neg-mothers'
In your 'fairy neg-mothers'" defence, your barely literate cracks aren't so wise. In your defence, you do warn them with your username.
well i feel there are several wrong points in your comment but i respect your right to say so.
Be sure to vote with your finger, and neg my comments henceforth in case you aren't doing so already
From the few comments i've read of his, thank mods there is a block bnutton =)
fishing, my frindes don't like the wait and patient on it. And the expect a fish from first cast. If it was bad day and didn't catch anything good. They just keep saying how am I just feeding the fish and wasting time. I don't know even why I take them with me.
Definition, frinde: noun - a friend who is on the fringe of active participation in any given activity or situation
Eg; "when it comes to fishing, my frindes don't like the wait and patient on it"
I like to drive/race Petrol/Nitro Remote control cars, annoys the whole neighbourhood when im doing it in the local park.
I like to fly my drone and go pro at the beach.
In my trenchcoat
There is a dude who does that on st kilda beach. He fpvs all the fake cans and the girls he hovers over think it's cool and have no idea what he is doing.
popping every joint possible…mmmm pop
mmmm pop
Wasnt that a song by a girl band with 3 ugly girls in it like 20 years ago?
Perhaps you like to listen to it while " popping joints."
No it was 3 guys, the band was called Hanson, the song was MMM Bop, and it was around 2000. They're still around today.
1997
Being a tight ass, people get pissed off when I try and save money all the time
Collecting eneloops. A lot of eneloops. Too much eneloops.
I could probably make a coffee table with all my eneloops, but not sure if the miss will be happy.
farting
staring…. ಠಠ ◔◔
Heater / Aircon on…. Windows down.
Arduino and rc nitro cars
Spearfishing between the flags.
I only like to use my gidgee in the touchpool at seaworld and aqua
i buy ice cream, eat it, then fill it up with water, freeze and return it for another box
The occasional loud 'intimate' noises that happen in the bedroom when I bring a chick home for the night'😎
💏🍆💋
Housemate don't seem that pleased lol
Given that it only happens once or twice a year, we don't mind. We're happy for you.
Hey James, is that you?!
Lol - jk
Hint: once or twice, maybe sometimes 😅
You seem to have got your inverted commas mixed up: occasional loud intimate noises that happen in the bedroom when I bring a 'chick' home for the night
Er, probably both words then - since the 'intimate' was politely referring to, you know, * ahem * :)
Ladies love dat eggplant
…With lots of cream
No one really likes listening to crying.
Savage
And then eventually you have to let them out, right?
Its hard to get a good night sleep in this city, all last night there was a girl banging on my door.
Finally I had to let her out! Oh!
thing that you like doing but other people would consider it a nuisance ?
…JV: Whats the normal price?
I'm pretty sure my neighbours hate that i have quadcopters ranging in size from "awww , how cute, sounds like a tiny mosquito" up to "why would you want to fly a damn lawnmower round the yard?"
But hey , i enjoy it!
rock fishing… clean air and fresh fish. well nobody but my wife hate me for going fishing ! but I catch more fishes than anybody in the same fishing place at everytime. fisherman went mad at me when I catch all the fishes and they got nothing. hehe
Gollum?
Frodo?
I've learned so much from this thread.
Ham radio - massive antennas, may interfere with TV and radio etc.
I enjoy wandering around at cat hour, meeting neighborhood cats
Stalking people on facebook. Does it count?
Drumkits in general, just buy an electric one & sound shitty in your own headphones while you are learning.
I really enjoy being a troll at work or to my friends - man they're gullible
Playing guitar.
Loudly.
n out of tune..
My neighbors work on high displacement V8s. They constantly have to rev the engines for some reason.
Probably because I've lapped them with a straight 4 and a V6.
Correcting other people's grammar/spelling
Edit: I also enjoy correcting people who state false facts.
"Correcting other people's grammar/spelling."
The overuse of the word "like".
Using my Meraki's Air Marshal, containing neighbors' Wifi networks and sending deauths
Wrapping bubble wrap around the tyres, and then slowly backing in and out of the driveway~
Testing subwoofers.
Mmmm, bass.
Always asking why or how.. genuinely curious at everything.. seemingly commonsense to people, i still ask why to get reconfirmation that i was right in the first place
Writing on my IBM Model M keyboard. Click clack
I think you meant typing.
Typing with… Writing with..
Playing Gears of War with my Logitech z5500 THX 5.1 setup at 3am /used/ to be an issue but now I live in a brick unit and housemates and neighbours say they can't hear a thing. It's /very/ liberating…
I like driving at the speed limit.
Driving at the speed limit is fine, driving 20 to 30km under the speed limit is not.
What people think is the speed limit is also clearly different. People often sit at 95kmh in the fast lane, probably because their speedo says they are doing 100kmh. (What the hell they are doing in the fast lane at 100kmh is another debate).
Restoring a Torana and having an almost 30 year old motorbike lol.
Practicing music. Singing, piano, whatever. Drives my partner crazy but you can't stop the music.
Always suggesting to watch comedy movies as soon as someone suggest horror/gore movies… why do people watch "saw", "texas chainsaw" and the likes
Maybe you could suggest playing survival horror video games instead?
Hmm… left 4 dead comes to mind =)
I play the oboe. I get interesting reactions from anyone listening. It usually involves cringes or very explicit instructions on where they believe I should shove it.
Cleaning … For whatever reason my housemates don't like it when the house is spotless and clean.
Not me… But I hate Asian retailers who ignore plurals when they speak or write signs. It is two dollars not two dollar.
Many know better but I think most do it just to annoy the rest of us.
Not trying to defend anyone here, but I think the reason why sometimes they don't use plurals properly is because AFAIK in a few asian languages that I'm aware of, and probably more, there is no concept of plurals(eg. both "cat" and "cats" in Japanese is "neko"), or limited application of it. In Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, it basically goes one dollar, two dollar, three dollar, if you do a literal translation from English. So if their native language doesn't use plurals, sometimes when they translate to English, they're not aware they need to use plurals as its a foreign concept to them. The same thing happens with past and future tenses, which is why when they're speaking/writing English, its almost as if they mangle the tenses and plurals, because they're thinking in their native language, then converting it to the equivalent English words in their head, they blurt it out without the requisite tenses and plurals to make it sound right.
Same concept applies when a native English speaker learns German or French, which have grammatical gender which doesn't exist in English. When they speak german/french, they can easily pick the wrong gender when forming their sentences, which makes it sound "not right" to a native speaker who knows better because they've been speaking it their whole life eg. using "die Madchen" instead of "das Madchen"
Farting at will. The way I do this is by lying down on the floor, knees to my chest, and sucking air through my anus and then expelling it.
Driving at actual speed limit on my red P-plates is apparently unbearable to a lot of other drivers. :(
That would have been my horn, and my attempt to run you off the road. No not really, what I say and do are 2 different things.
Honestly, it sucks they restrict speed for red P's. Kinda pointless really. On a freeway at 100 is no different than 110 really..
Maths. You are doing it wrong.
It's restricted to 90, actually! I don't mind on motorways because it's fair enough… But more on regular roads where I'm perfectly abiding by the limit and get tailgated etc.. Crazy.
Commenting when there's a Peters of Kensington deal " why on the world would you shop anywhere else"
picking my toe nails, and if no one is looking, chewing them into little pieces, and still if no one is looking, spitting them on the floor
Not so much a nuisance as it is just plain kind gross… but each to their own.
hahahahahah i had a good laugh, id pay to see that
