7 Things We All Hate About Other People

I wouldn’t describe myself as a people person. Truthfully, most people annoy the living daylights out of me. And guess what? I’m not alone. There are tons of things people hate about other people and you probably have your own list hidden away somewhere.

I think we can all relate to being beyond irritated by a stranger. And the thing is, most of them have no idea they’re doing all of these things people hate. They may think they’re harmless when they hum that annoying tune that’ll now be stuck in your head forever.

I think the best thing about knowing the things people hate about other people is that you may even be guilty of a few of these. I know I am! As much as they annoy me, I also do some of the things below – and I’ll be sure to put an end to them!

If you’re like the rest of us in the world, these things will probably annoy the shit out of you, too.

# Loud eating

I can’t tell you just how annoying this can be – especially when you’re out to eat. Hearing someone chew very loudly from the next table isn’t only irritating, it’s unappetizing. I don’t want to hear someone else’s food smacking around in their mouth. ICK!

# Loud talking in a quiet establishment

Not only is this very rude to the other people around, it’s usually done while talking about something ridiculous and not at all relevant to what’s going on. Anyone who is obviously talking above everyone else so loud that it’s distracting and ruining someone’s time there is the worst type of person.

# When they interrupt you

I think this one is one of the universal things people hate. Being interrupted is horrible. It’s annoying, disrespectful, and you can’t finish what you were saying as planned because you have someone cutting off your train of thought. There’s not much more annoying than being interrupted when you’re telling a story.

# Obnoxious laughter

I know, I know. This one is a little difficult to talk about because people don’t really have control over what their laugh sounds like. Their laugh is a laugh. However, there are people with very loud, over the top laughs than can get really annoying if heard over and over again.

# Making unnecessary small talk

I get that people are supposed to be polite. However, there’s a difference between saying hello and trying to talk to someone who is clearly not interested. This is when people make unnecessary small talk about the weather or birds or cars or any other pointless topic. It’s downright annoying.

# Horrible drivers

This is one of the things people hate that the most people also do. I even hate horrible drivers but if I’m being honest, sometimes I AM the horrible driver. Not because I mean to be, but sometimes you miss a turn and have to drive badly in order to make that U-turn back. It sucks. It’s dangerous. And yes, it’s extremely irritating.

# SLOW drivers

I’m all for following the speed limit – to a certain extent. Let’s be real, you can go over the speed limit safely by like 5-10mph. I know people who are driving “slow” are only driving the speed limit but it’s annoying when the rest of the traffic is going so much faster. This can also be dangerous since it disturbs the flow of traffic.
