Little things people do that are irritating....

People without mobility issues bending over their trolley then shuffling along (having previously been in training for next year’s marathon in aisle 5) because they’re lazy.

People using a trip to the supermarket as a whole family outing then allowing the children (who were too small to properly control it) yank the trolley by the front so it swings round wildly into my path.

People leaving a disgusting mess in the supermarket toilet.

People who ignore you when you’ve obviously waited for them to go past someone who’s parked their trolley so 2 trolleys can’t then fit alongside. Next time I’ll bloody ram you.

It was frankly wild in Asda today! 🤣

Didn't we have lots of pages on this topic only last week??

I hate how my predictive text makes no sense, last week teacher morphed into screecher, I sure it never knew me that well back in the day.

Normally I'd agree with you, but I'm so fast at packing bags in my trolley that I end up ahead of the cashier in Aldi. I once got a round of applause from the person behind me....

Yes! That reminds me of a thread from some time ago where the British OP had a British DH - with no links to the USA - who nevertheless constantly used Americanisms in his speech. She (quite understandably) found it intensely irritating.

Then again, we get a lot of apparently British people on MN who talk about 'living from paycheck to paycheck' - a phrase that we simply don't use in the UK, much less do we spell (a monetary payment) cheque that way.

Customers holding up the queue as need to transfer money on banking app from one account to the one linked with card. Or ring up their OH “transfer £20”

My first mobile phone had a calculator and please use it. Transfer any money it required then go to the tills!

Then cross the road without looking up.

Look at the ROAD not your phone

People who wander down the street glued to their phone which then makes them meander back and forth, unable to walk in a straight line, and so makes them impossible to overtake.

People at work who load the dishwasher from the front. As in plonk their cups in the easiest place, thereby forcing the people who come next to have to negotiate past their dirty crockery in order to fit theirs in. Load from the back you lazy arses!

My partner takes his coats off and then hangs them on top of the door/gets out a hanger and hangs it on the handle of the door. If you're going to the effort of hanging it up just put it away ffs!

I don't mind engaging for a short time. As in a sentence or two. If they are very cute and polite kids. If they're little annoying brats I've got no problem saying loudly to whoever I'm with after they've gone back to their seat "Poor thing, obviously not getting enough attention from the parents....."

. That's me

People without dogs who go to the dog beach and sit by the access ramps / steps with children who don't like dogs and who then get in a stew because we dare to have a dog with us on the dog beach and need to use the ramps/steps.

Go to the people beach for god's sake.

Customers who dump chilled and frozen products on shelves or in the other temp section (chilled in frozen and vice versa)

Do they realise that this is waste?

YOU picked the item up. YOU changed your mind. YOU put it back!

People who don't squeeze the washing up sponge or dishcloth out and just leave it absolutely dripping wet lying in the sink so it doesn't get a chance to dry out and just festers. Then someone else comes along and pours their tea or coffee dregs into the sink on top of it. I don't get it.

People who just stand there when they get off the bottom of the escalator. They're the bottom rung as far as intelligence goes. Once i literally had nowhere to go as my way off was blocked by a couple of gormless types. I had no qualms about shoving past them.

If someone offers to take my cup or glass out to the kitchen to do me another drink, while I am grateful for that, I cringe if they pick my mug or cup up by the rim, right where I'm going to drink from. Especially if they smoke, or they've got a cold, or I've seen them scratching inside their ear 5 mins earlier. Urgh...

People who kick off their shoes just inside the doorway as they come in the house. Why can't they put them out the way? ie. DH. Even the kids know to put them at the side out of the way.

People who use the exit doors to enter my local supermarket, and vice versa, and who have the nerve to give ME a funny look as if I'm getting in their way.

There are now 'Exit/Entrance Only' signs on the doors. Doesn't stop them though.

My DH used to do this until I told him to shut the fuck up. I’d say STOP it! Frank Sinatra is doing ok on his own.’
I HATED it.

People playing videos or music on their phones without headphones can all fuck off the far end of fuck and fuck off a little further.

People who walk around in Central London three abreast holding hands.

My brother does this on the phone. Drives me mad! It’s just an affectation.

FFS - and you are completely missing the point of the thread 🙄

People who go to enter a shop then stop dead just inside the doorway.
People who insist on talking to you when you're obviously on a phone call/got earphones in.
People who sneeze so loudly they make me jump out of my skin. Just why do they do this?! It's totally unnecessary.

Too many to list but one of the worst has to be singing along with the music playing in shops/supermarkets. It’s Asda, not a karaoke bar. I don’t need to hear your version of Tina Turner when I’m trying to do my shopping.

And the offenders can never sing as well as they obviously think they can…

People who don't thank you when you let them out in traffic.
It makes me unreasonably cross.

Or the woman who insists on parking her very large Mercedes jeep halfway up on the pavement directly across the road from the school gate as her little darling boy, aged 8 approximately couldn't walk 50 yards up the road where she could legally park.
To hell with the two wheelchair users who live on the road or the woman with severe disabilities who uses a rollator walker on that pavement most days.

Discreet/discrete
Bare/bear
Curb/kerb
🤬

Dirty clothes not quite making the laundry basket - either next to the basket or teetering on the edge.

DH eats Muesli for breakfast most days and doesn't always rinse it well enough before he leaves for work, so by the time I wake/get up, its quite a bit harder to wash off.

You'd hate my Dad 😂
