What irritates you about other people?

People on their phones in the theatre and people who drop litter, have you seen the verges along side the road recently 🙄

When people take too long to do something simple!

Or in my line of work. An exchange similar to this....

Me: Have you got the results for x, y and z?
Them: yes

Me:..... can I have them then?
Them: yes

6 hours later
Them: do you want all the results or just one of them?

Argh!!!

that they exist?

Anyone who starts feeling like an energy vampire, sometimes I find myself edging away from people and I think it’s because on a subtle level they’re annoying

Fathers that don’t pay their child maintenance

In came on to say this . I have one friend in particular who is pretty extreme in this way. She said she has a particular illnsss and said maybe I had it too so it should
Google it. I did. Wikipedia and gazillions of other authoritative web sites says the illness is pseudo science and doctors do not accept it as a diagnosis. When I told her this she started yelling at me saying her doctor agrees with her etc.

Office politics. ‘Oh I’m sure you’ll ace that presentation, it’s only really gone wrong for Brenda that one time….’
People in restaurants at bigger gatherings who simply can’t remember what they’ve ordered only half an hour previously. Usually accompanied by a hovering waiter with a spare carbonara while others wait to be served or watch their meal going cold infront of them.
People who simply have to remind you how well off they are: ‘the cockapoo nearly destroyed £15k of parquet, ha ha’, ‘The kids hid Steve’s keys in the outdoor wood fired pizza oven’, ‘the underfloor heating in the granny annexe is playing up again’.

I've thought of two more lol, people who get at their ex's by posting about their kids being there for them on social media😷I've had to block a girl I went to school with like this because I feel so sorry for her kids, every.single.post is something like 'my ride or die since day one, my support system' and a picture of her small child. Poor kids when they get older will have been her emotional crutch for years. My other one is people who critique any profession, especially stuff like the ambulance service but have never and will never do the job themselves and have no idea how any of it works.

And yet here you are....

People playing music in their own cars?

-Men who walk around with their tops off in summer not on a beach/swimming pool.
-childless people who freely give out their opinions on parenting to parents

Nosey people are very annoying.

I also dread having any encounter with that angry type middle aged man. The sort that hate women and glare at you and bang into you if you pass them. They're particularly aggressive whilst driving and have a very entitled attitude. They try to engage you in conversation sometimes with their 1950s attitudes on full display. They're invariably divorced, bitter, desperate for a shag and hate all women - because the women won't shag them - and often drink too much. They're also very bossy and waste no time in telling you you're fat/ugly/parked in the wrong place/a karen/a crap parent etc.

Rudeness, no thoughtfulness and loud eating.

Oh and not doing what they say they will

Yes nosy people. I have an old friend that I don’t see so often now and this is part of the reason. She wants to know the ins and outs of everything and loves to drop in anything new she has bought. I’m not materialistic and find it very superficial.

Yep. Forgot that one .

I haven’t read through the thread but in all honesty I don’t really like many people in life.

I loathe insincerity, envy, greed and meanness.

Oh and selfish people. As in totally and completely utterly self absorbed.

Not much really. 🙃

Nosy people. Especially materialistic nosiness, asking for every detail of my life, new purchase my work, promotion or there lack of, salary to compare themselves with me.

People who make a huge deal about not caring about their appearance to the point of actively putting other women down for buying eyelashes/hair/make-up because they "just do it for men" yet cannot stop waxing lyrical about how amazing men find every body part of theirs ad-nauseam. "Oh but Achange, my toes have ALWAYS been lovely, I'm so happy with my beautiful toes, they're not like yours and men always comment on them...My hair is just one of my best features Achange, I mean you can say it's lucky but I don't ever cut it and I always get men wolf-whistling me in broad daylight...". Talk abut projection!

People who drop litter.
Drivers who don’t indicate.
Loud parenting.

People talking too loud in public. There was a woman in soft play yesterday that was insufferable.

Performance parenting

Lateness. Most is completely avoidable.

Time trialling cyclists who use the rural roads where I live as a racetrack and have no consideration for other road users.

Often these ‘MAMILS’ cycle in a reckless manner and ooze hubris. They are quite happy to hold up the traffic for miles and miles. Not everyone has all the time in the world. Sometimes people have to be at a place at a certain time and need to get from A to B for entirely practical reasons. Being forced to stare at the skinny arse of some Lycra clad family dodger for mile after mile of single lane country road when I have an important appointment to attend is utterly frustrating. Just bloody move over when you know you’re holding up loads of traffic and then maybe everyone won’t hate you 😊

Mountain bikers are fab, though. Always considerate and if they hold the traffic up for too long, will move over and allow the traffic to pass and get on with their day.

It would probably be easier to list the things that don't irritate me about people, as people usually irritate the hell out of me most of the time. 😂

DH and me watching a tv programme/film:

DH: Who’s that? Is that her husband?
Me: I’ve been watching it for exactly the same amount
of time you have. Your guess is as good as mine.

Repeat and repeat with similar questions until I start shouting.

Not being able to collect a prescription because the pharmacist is on lunch between 1-2pm. Even though I wouldn't be seeing the pharmacist anyway, the prescription is all bagged up and sitting there and there's no reason for the lady on the till not to be able to hand it over. I know she can't, legally, but this makes me so mad. Especially as lunchtime is then people need to get prescriptions!
