Little things people do that are irritating....

My dad does this horrible sniffing thing constantly.

People who can't eat with their mouth closed. Also people who don't know how to hold cutlery. It's a knife not a pen.

People who stand far too close to you in public spaces. They seem to have multiplied in recent years! Making up for social distancing during Covid. Supermarkets are the worst for it.

Quite a few of mine have already been mentioned. But to add to the small group blocking an entrance when they could stand anywhere else and the people who block an entire aisle with their trolley parked diagonally in the middle: it irritates me when I am polite and say ‘excuse me please’ they look at me as if they are highly offended. WTF! Since when is saying ‘excuse me please’ akin to saying ‘move out of the fucking way bitch!’

When people rattle a hard candy/mint/lozenge against their teeth incessantly. Drives me crazy.

I begrudgingly gave a colleague a lift to work for two weeks, while their car was in the shop. They talked at me the entire time, a 45 min car ride each way. At the traffic lights, they interrupted their own diatribe to tell me the lights had changed to green. I’d been politely acknowledging them, and taken my eyes off the road for 5 seconds.

that feels better, and the colleague in question now has their car back!

God where do I start 😆 people at work leaving me messages asking me to do this and that when they can bloody do it themselves.

Not giving a suitable answer to a question and being vague. Would you like lunch…yeah maybe.

Just be more direct, yes, no or a more detailed answer.

DH I’m looking at you

I ask someone to empty the drier and they literally take out the clothes and dump them on the counter... expecting someone else to come along and fold them, and to move the wet clothes from the washing machine over.

I used to be a shopping-trolley-as-mobility-aid person! Terribly sorry, but shopping trolleys are free, whereas mobility aids cost £££ to £££££'s! It was the only way I could get any exercise or do my shopping for several years before I finally saved enough for a chair (given the NHS voucher towards it was less than a fifth of its actual cost!).

People who stop and clog up the aisle in the supermarket and when I say 'excuse me' do not look DOWN, ever, they look over their shoulders, can't see anyone so continue to block my way. Then they look really arsed off when I give 'em a nudge in the ankles with my foot-plates!

People who will shove in front of me when I am trying to select something from a shelf or chiller, often doing so from my right hand side meaning their hip/arse comes into contact with my controller joy-stick and crashes me into the display then look at me like thats MY fucking fault!

People who write of when they mean off. Also past/passed, your/you're and breath/breathe. Each one means something different.

Mumdnet thread titles. Specifically something like "To think that school admissions is complicated".... in Education.
It makes sense in AIBU as the Abu bit makes it a sentence. In every other board...its half a sentence.

When kids are allowed to completely run riot around the supermarket/shopping centre. I was nearly knocked over on the escalator by a couple of little boys recently. Their dad didn't even apologise.

People who watch reality shows and then talk about them at length for ages. Sorry I know I sound like a culture snob, but I've shared so many offices with people who only talk about e.g. Love Island and ahhrgh. Please watch something else.

When people do the "we must meet up" dance when both of you know you're never meeting up. Annoying and very UK-specific.

When people turn the heating up to 1000 degrees.

People who tell interminable stories that go on forever and you have to feign interest. I love my mother but she does this.

Drunk people screaming/singing outside your window at 3am. Bonus points if it's Mr Brightside.

As a single person, everything couples do is vaguely irritating.

(I may be a miserable git.)

Grown adults scraping their chairs along the floor to get up, rather than lifting them.

’Little Prince/Princess on Board’ signs - fuck right off.

People who can’t drive on country roads, driving on country roads.

People who don't commit to a time and date for an event, even when they suggest it!

Ex.

Does your ds want to come and play with our little Timmy at some point?

Sure, when?

Oh, whenever is good for you

Okaaayyyyyy....

Like, how long will this conversation go on for??

That will be me
I do it to myself as well....

Phew - all good, then!!

@SeanBeansMealDeal - Canada

People sitting in long lines of traffic, or at a red light, who don't leave a gap for others to enter or emerge from major roads to the side. So selfish and pointless.

That does my fucking head in ,so oblivious of other people.

I hope you don't live in the UK if you give way to the left!

Stopping in a supermarket aisle with the trolley sideways blocking the entire way

Putting a smiley face emoji at the end of a work email. I don't have a high powered job or anything but really, just no.

Where I live, lots of drivers don't understand how roundabouts work. You give way to the left. People will just stop mid roundabout to let you go. I know they are trying to be nice, but that's not how it works. It drives me nuts

Are you me? 😁
