You know what pisses me off? / Rant Thread

To me, this discussion is like the one I always seem to get into about thumbs. I say they're fingers and a few others insist they aren't. So that would mean we only have eight fingers, right? It's asinine. It would be like saying roots aren't wood. ANYWAY, there's no way she didn't fucking know what I was talking about and that's just one example of an unending stream of corrections. It finally came to a head.

So what did you do?!
What did she say?!

You're going to wish you hadn't asked...

We've got a meeting every morning at 6:15 and one of the guys came into the breakroom with a bottle of that smart water stuff, different brand but you know what I mean. He sat down at the table but put his bottle slightly behind him where he couldn't see it. I picked it up to read the content label, it was very obvious that's what I was doing. My co-worker with the correction problem was on the other side of me and starts grabbing for the bottle, snapping her fingers and saying "GIVE IT TO ME!" Unfortunately I handed it over and said I was trying to see how much sugar was in it. She looks at me like I'm an idiot and said "none" then proceeded to hide the bottle as a joke.

I dunno about you, but I don't like being ordered around like that, much less having someone snap their fingers for me to obey them.

We got back up to the office and I told her that her behavior really annoyed me, that I was trying to read the content label and I didn't appreciate her grabbing it out of my hand. She got a bit shrill and said she didn't know I was reading the label (seriously?), said "sorRY!" and when I asked if she understood why I was annoyed, she said "excuse me for living!" to which I said "so I guess you don't understand why I was annoyed"... we didn't talk the rest of the day.
