The stud piercing that some people get right above their lip.  I can't talk to them without thinking "Hey, you got some shit on your face."  ::makes wiping face motion::  Don't get me wrong, I'm all for piercings, but that's really distracting. 

The hipster staff of damn near every record store.  Some of them are cool if you can attain "regular" status, but up until then, they seem to look at every choice I make with absolute derision.

Vegetarians/Vegans who pimp it all the time.

Cell phones with annoyingly catchy song ringtones.  I've been singing Return of the Mack all day because of this, and I'm about to put a drill to my temple.

And when I sneeze five times in a row (it's allergy season), I don't need five individual "bless you"s, which I then have to say thank you for.  Two will suffice, after that it should be assumed.

I saw something above about pop up ads, and I thought of something similarly annoying.  Flyers on my car.  "Loose up to 300lbs using herbal blah blah blah!  I tried it, and it works!" or "Work from home using this obvious pyramid scheme!".  How does this advertising campaign work?  And worse yet, I get religious flyers on my car pretty often.  If you're choosing a faith based on something stuck to your windshield...  Well, good luck with that I guess.

And bloggers/writers who end a declarative sentence with an ellipsis.  Are all of your thoughts unfinished?  How about don't write them until they are.

And women, please, don't tattoo your boobs.  They don't need drawings on them to keep me entertained.

1)-I agree on the stud piercings.  And I also laugh at cliche tattoos (hello tribal armband or that symbol on a girl's lower back).

2)-I'm with a vegetarian (and for some totally and completely random reason, the 2 girls before her were vegetarian, but weren't hippie animal rights types either) but she doesn't push it and is pretty lax which I like.  She never eats animal flesh, but other than that, she's game for anything.


Personally, it's vegans that get to me, not vegetarians. I know there are nice vegans who mind their own business, but I've known many obnoxious vegans. I mean, by their very nature they're more likely to be obnoxious because they're more extreme in ideology and eating practices. I could never date a vegan.  A fregan though? Now we're having a conversation. ;)


3)-I agree on the sneeze/bless you thing, that's annoying.


4)-Nobody likes pop-ups. Oh, and I never get religious flyers on my car, but then again I don't live in Colorado Springs Colorado either.  I guess you have to move, eh?


5)-I'm sure I must have used an ellipsis in that way before but I can't remember when...


6)-An easy way to turn me off (usually in porn) is to show me a hot body tainted with an ill placed tattoo, and or a woman who ruined everything by going nuts with them, as shown here in a NON-work safe way. The sad thing is, she used to have an great body (even less work-safe).

Yeah, yeah, a few of you might prefer her with tattoos, but you're crazy. I mean look, the bottom line is that they're just flat out *distracting*.
