What irritates you about other people?

Literally these days, almost everything. The way people talk utter bollocks and form opinions on things they have very little to no knowledge of and talk about them as if they are facts, the selfishness, the constant need for validation, the egotism, gossip, vanity, commitment issues etc etc. I think humans are inherently selfish anyway, we all are, but the modern day culture and social media etc has made most people really unpleasant. I don’t use much SM anymore for that reason. I’ve turned into a misanthropist as I’ve aged!

This is so true and irritating. Meetings where people don't know when to shut up. You've made your point but continue for next 19 minutes saying exactly the same thing. Local Authority meetings seem particularly bad for this. Possibly people trying to justify their random jobs

People just annoy me, I'm not a fan of other people at all and mostly keep away.

People who gaslight your reality of your personal experinces as it doesn't fit into what they have experinxed or it doesn't fit into what they think 🤔 your experinces should be like

People who make assumptions

What weirdos some people are

Oh god yes people who instigate and thrive on drama
I've forgotten about those types

People who make up nasty lies about people and believe their own lies and gossip about people..

People who have to turn everything into an episode of EastEnders

People who are stupid

People who are passive aggressive
People who have just black and white 🤔 thinking

People who are hypocritical

People who are back stabbing arseholes

People who think you must be weird if you think differently

People who judge you before get to know you properly

At the moment being menopausal everything is irritating the feck out of me 😂. I despise queue jumping, bad hygiene, cancelling on me at last minute without a valid reason, being late, rude manners on holding a door for someone to not say thanks, people talking blocking an aisle, being lied to, rude customer service, being fucked around thinking I'm some kinda walkover, narcissists & oh it goes on & I could be typing for hours on this topic 😂

People who can’t adapt or are completely floored if things don’t go as expected; even the tiniest little things. For instance, the steam room at my gym was out of order today. There was a sign on the door saying as much, and it should have been pretty obvious to anyone who missed the sign somehow that there was no steam or heat. But no - in the ten minutes I spent in the jacuzzi opposite, I saw at least four people walk straight past the sign, open the door and then stand there staring with utter bewilderment until they (eventually) realised it wasn’t working. Okay, so you wanted a steam. You can’t have one. Tough titty. Standing staring with complete incomprehension will not fix it!

People claiming they have to or need to do/have something or go somewhere, when they actually just WANT to.

I will smile and be polite in public but I might look miserable as that's my face
By the time it's the weekend and I'm out in public food shopping or whatever I am all peopled out. Wouldn't be deliberately rude though

After 15 years working in call centres? Everything
Just leave me alone with a cat if I'm not working thanks

Bad sound on interviews. Everyone gets interviewed remotely now and the connection drops or you can't hear them or they have that awful echoey lockdown sound or they don't position their mic/headset so you can hear them breathing so loud it's like gasping for air, and smacking their lips. And no one seems to care!

Also, range rovers. Cunts.

Self centred people who try to take up your time talking about themselves and don’t take a hint that you’re bored.

I’ve decided that the best way to deal with people like this is to suddenly announce I have to go now.
Rudeness deserves rudeness.

How miserable, selfish and rude everyone seems to have become in public

Nobody is friendly anymore

Know it alls
Faffers
People not returning trolleys to where they need to be
Bratty kids / poor parenting
"Influencers" and how people are slavishly devoted to them - don't get me wrong I love social media but it's not realistic
No sense of individuality in people - I'm not in the UK but when I see stuff from home everyone seems to look the same. I know this isn't true across the board but I feel like everyone's just herding together.

Men who try to ‘chat’ to me when I’m running.

People who thrive on drama.

People who try to insist that we remove dogs from our cafe even after seeing signs, and us explaining, that we welcome dogs.

People who take advantage of others.

This one is normally with the DC.
DC- I have this problem what can I do about it?
Mum- offers reasonable and effective solution #1
DC- but that won't work.
Mum - offers reasonable and effective solution #2
DC- I don't want to do that.
Repeat at least twice more
Mum - screams into pillow.

People who talk on the phone really loudly on public transport. And it's always about the most mundane topics, like what they had for lunch, like why are you having a full blown conversation about that?

People who pity you for doing something alone as if the only way anything can be enjoyable is if it is done with other people. Some of us enjoy our own company!

People who take up the whole pavement while walking. Ughhh

This has unlocked something in my brain lol:

• people who talk about weight or diets, just fuck off, I'm skinny so if I respond they think I'm a bitch but if I barely say anything they also think I'm an unsupportive bitch
• people who claim to be stressed about a situation they could help themselves out of but won't because it requires a bit of effort
• jealous people who just can't hide their jealousy in their face when you have good news
• people who treat their pets like pets not part of the family
• people who think they're special because they've had some sort of trauma occur in their lives not realising so many people have shit in their lives that they don't talk about
• people who are arrogant about their atheist beliefs
• sahm's who think everyone cares that they're a sahm when actually nobody cares what they do they just make it their whole personality
• people who think others care about work and want them to live, eat and breathe it like they do

Too many to mention but here are a few of mine:-
Middle lane drivers on motorways.
Manspreaders.
Loud, braying people in restaurants when you are out for a nice quiet meal.
People who stop dead as they come off the escalator so you bump into them.
Queue jumpers - just what are they thinking??
People who try and save a seat for their bag on the train, even if other people are standing up.
People who talk about themselves endlessly but they know nothing about you as they never ask you anything.
Rude people in any service industry, eg shop assistants, doctor's receptionists etc. Just try and be nicer!
People in the cinema who just want to chat all through the film, also sweet rustlers who eat sweets with the loudest, crackliest wrappers. Shhh!

People who let their children constantly interrupt when you are trying to enjoy an adult conversation.

People.

This

Either;

1. Non parents talking to me about how they believe other children should behave, or doing the ‘if I ever have child I wouldn’t XYZ’
2. Mothers at a different stage of life telling other mothers (usually with young children) that “it gets worse” or “just you wait till XYZ” as if that’s helpful.
3. Unsolicited advice in general

This week's gripe is people who circulate details of the latest " scam" to everyone they know, thus freaking out my old Mum, who really should have the wit to know better. If they stopped to think for a moment they would know that saying " yes" in a conversation with a random could not possibly mean that they are agreeing to have their bank account emptied.
Or that copying and pasting some blurb on Facebook is not going to change its algorithms nor will it give FB permission to use anything it does not already have the right and ability to do.
And if you've copied and pasted something ( like " be kind")and asked all your friends to do the same, it doesn't mean they are bad friends for not complying.
Actually maybe I should give up SM. Shouting at it is like folks used to shout at the TV in the old days. Not a good look.
