Those annoying commercials for allergies, asthma, and arthritis that list every side effect (diarrhea, dizziness, kidney failure, anal leakage, erratic heart beat, high blood pressure, sexual dysfunction, suicidal tendencies, restlessness, loss of vision and brittle nails) during the advertisement. Can&rsquo;t they save that information for the doctor&rsquo;s office? 2. Drivers that risk causing an accident by cutting me off so that they can be exactly one car length further ahead than they were just 38 seconds ago. 3. Children who stamp my glass tabletop with their grubby handprints AS I&rsquo;m cleaning it. 4. Frantically searching the house for our telephone just to answer it and hear &ldquo;Please hold, I have a very important message for you.&rdquo; If you&rsquo;d like to sell me your product, or you&rsquo;d like the female in our household between the ages of 25 and 39 to take one of your &lsquo;quick&rsquo; surveys, the least you can do is be present when I pick up the phone call. 5. People who ring our doorbell between the hours of 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. - Naptime in our house. Feel free to add to my list! I&rsquo;d love to hear your pet peeve so I can say &ldquo;OH! Me too! Can&rsquo;t believe I forgot that one!&rdquo; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Here&rsquo;s a list of 5 things I can&rsquo;t stand: 1.
