What drives you nuts??
 
Now there are lots of sports that I don't like to watch, but other people do - and that is fine with me.

But my husband likes to watch car races. Now its not the race itself that drives me bonkers -- its that NEEOWWWW, NEEOWWWW, NEEOWWW, NEEEOWW - sound that goes on and on for hours and hours. I don't know how anybody can sit there and listen to it!

It gave me a headache and I wasn't even in the same room!!

What drives you nuts?...............A steering wheel down the trousers might, no seriously take a nagging wife and 4 children on a marathon non stop drive in the middle of winter from Windsor to Tampa Florida. I did and my ears started to bleed by the time we reached Kentucky. It seemed like a good idea at the time.

Hehe.

We had a monster (i.e. very big) kid who looked as if he was maybe three when he was only one. People used to watch him slobbering happily and say "oh, what a shame".

Mrs C had to be physically restrained on several occasions.

(He's about to graduate from Queen's)

(And he's still very big).

Packaging :curse:
- shrink wrap so shrunken-on you risk damaging the product and yourself trying to set it free
- that hard molded plastic that's sealed all around the edges
- pull tabs that break off
- plastic film that's so charged you can't get it off your hand and into the trash
- etc. :curse:

Going to the local art gallery, anticipating a nice relaxing few hours only to find out, after paying, that it's "family fun day" and the place is teaming with puddle runners armed with finger paint and glitter sticks. :ohmy: :curse:

I bet as soon as you leave him he's totally fine, remember three year olds are master manipulators;) My four year old started to cry last night about how much he hates Monday and he hates school and daycare, yet when I come to pick him up in the afternoon he doesn't want to leave:frown:

Drivers who don't signal, use cell phones and not look where they are going, pedestrians who step in front of a vehicle, 'its my right of way' (until you get run over), drivers who over take, pull in front and brake.
