What things irritate you irrationally?

[OracleInaCoracle]

for me it is people who dont say thank you when you step of the pavement into the road so that they can get past.
people who step on the back of your shoe and dont apologise.
and people who dont use caps correctly

and im sure i will be back with more!

[BEAUTlFUL]

When you're driving and let someone out, and they don't thank you.

OR, when driving, if someone lets you out and you go to thank them but they're not even looking at you, just gazing ahead, stony-faced. If you didn't want me to drive on, don't fecking flash me, you arse. Grrrrrr

[lazarou]

When you are standing looking at something and your ds is in the pushchair, and then some stupid bitch comes along with her puchchair and pushes it right in front of your ds so that now he can not see anything.

[bossykate]

those pesky pedestrians who have the temerity to stand on the pavement blocking my view of the traffice when i am in the car and tryin to turn into a main road

[BEAUTlFUL]

On schoolrun: when you're late, and hurriedly shuttling your child towards the school gates, and all the smug mothers who got there on time are wafting back through the gates with maddening slowness, chatting to each other about cupcakes, letting their 2-year-old ride sideways on its tricycle, dragging a toy dog, etc, and don't step aside to let you come in, despite your hopping around on the other side of the fence, red-faced and panting

[DustyTV]

When people don't wind the cord back up correctly on the vacum cleaner.

When people squeeze the toothpaste tube from the middle and not the end.

Completely irrational I know!!!!

[BEAUTlFUL]

Husbands.

[lazarou]

When dh decides to mix up all the dirty vlothes with clean ones, and then I have to wash them all again becaus e they smell of dirtiness

[Dragonbutter]

coat hangers

[thumbwitch]

I'm with DustyTV on the toothpaste; same for putting the caps back on bottles/cans etc.

people who have conversations in the middle of supermarket aisles with their trollies pretty much blocking the entire aisle who then TUT at you when you move their trolly to get past; likewise people who block shop doors having conversations

drivers who stop on the main, free-flowing traffic road to let people in from a side road

[thumbwitch]

LOL @ Beautiful - yes there are many things DH does that irrationally piss me off

[lazarou]

When dh decides to buy something 'because it is cheap'
'oh look, thos plants are only 50p' 'yes, that's because they are dead'

When dh decides to make something and it costs more than if we had just bought it ready made, and it looks crap
