People who you don't know, but you find them irritating!

People on resort Fb pages who say 'what's the weather like atm, I'm coming over a week on Friday'. Why does it matter what the weather is like in over a week's time. Just look at a weather app and stop asking stupid bloody questions.

People in my road with Perfect Peter teens who voluntarily play multiple musical
instruments and do Duke of Edinburgh award hikes. Mine flatly refuse to do these things.

At Ds's nursery there was a pair of double doors that opened both ways and often parents coming in or out would hold the door open for others. There was one mum who would just ignore those waiting and walk on through. It was so rude and she did it practically every time. And it really didn't matter, she probably saved herself a minute but was resented by most other parents. No-one really said anything to her, except a few "after you's!"

Maybe he was hard of hearing?

Neighbours posting on fb about the latest upgrades to the house - everything luxury, custom, bespoke, fitted bla bla bla. They don't mention that they never cut the grass, the front is full of dog sh*t, and the bin has been blowing about the street for a week!

Working in hospitality, I encounter some very irritating people…

Those who are determined to find fault, no matter what
Those who look at the breakfast bar, at the 9 different cereals and moan
“oh-you haven’t got much choice”
The rude and abrupt man that read the pretty extensive menu, then asked for something we haven’t got, nor never likely to have… think eggs Benedict, smoked salmon, kippers etc ( in a 3* place! )
The person who threw an almighty tantrum because we didn’t do ‘pea milk’ and we were being discriminatory to her eating issues (😱)
The locals who seem to think because they live close, they should be given large discounts (Thursdays…every bloody Thursday they ask, 😢)

A woman next door but one.
Pulls her bin outside her house on bin day then stands and surveys the street, left to right, up and down. For many minutes.
She honestly looks like she owns the street and is looking to see if anyone passing needs her permission to use her road.

And this next one , tell me you wouldn’t hate this woman:
At the airport approaching the security belt about 10 people in front of her near the belt, I’m about 4 people behind her. The queue is steadily moving forward, not static.
Decides suddenly that she needs her liquids in a plastic bag.
so
lays case down and opens said case across the entire lane.
proceeds to search through every section of the case to find liquid bottles. Lines each liquid bottle up on the floor. More and more bottles recovered from various compartments of the case. I counted 12.
Then, starts to search whole case again until finding the teeniest plastic bag.
Begins to put bottles into tiny bag with not a chance in hell of fitting the bottles into the bag.
Then starts to zip up every section of the case and try to close it. It won’t close due to the clothing sticking out, so pushes clothing which repeatedly flips back out and is overpacked so can’t close said case without great effort.
Then tries to stand up holding teeny bag, hands full of extra bottles, 2 mobile phones, one iPad, one set of headphones, one passport and ticket and the handle of the case.
Meanwhile, the people in front have well gone, no fucker can get past her, step over her and case and lined up bottles, the queue behind is huge.
Then gets to the belt, throws everything into the tubs, lady at security gives her another 2 bags.
Alarm goes off as she goes through the body scanner and guess what… her bag doesn’t get through but gets shoved to be opened and examined!!!

I just know with no evidence whatsoever that she would also be a fucking nuisance when getting on the flight holding everyone up putting her bag in the overhead bin, then taking it down to get stuff out holding up the other people trying to find their seats then when landing fucking around putting all her shit back in holding everyone up who needs to get off.
I felt furious with that stranger at the airport.

Ooohhhh the bloody Co-op Knobhead

YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU DO 😡

stares angrily in the direction of the Co-op incase she’s in there

"I was walking the dogs, and as I went past the driveway, there was a MAMIL getting ready to go on an early bike ride, and I actually said to him that he'd probably woken up the whole neighbourhood. He mumbled sorry."

Sorry...I don't understand? What was he doing to wake anyone up?

Two school mums joined at the hip who always dress identically to each other with matching Dry Robes, black Crocs and black leggings with tight little buns on top of their heads. They're not very nice so I don't feel bad judging them.

Yeah. Next door neighbours had their friend over, probably in his 50s, arrived 8pm Friday night, they laughed and talked loudly until 2am. STFU. Some of us need to sleep and are up early at weekends!!! Selfish pric%@.

On local FB groups “what time does (shop/service/whatever) open?”

Why not Google it???

Yesss with Facebook people.

I regularly run a local activity which relies on certain people/locations being available. I fit in around them because their time & space is kind of donated and there is ONE woman who comments with chapter & verse about how it's such a shame it's not on whatever date because that day clashes with her Zumba/cake making/walking/crafting group/dishwasher delivery and she's been wanting to come ever since her neighbour moved away, yadda yadda yadda. I mean, just don't reply it wasn't a personal invitation.

Bugs me so much that I have to respond so sweetly to these messages every time when what I want to say is 'The world doesn't bloody revolve around you Barbara!!'

There's a parent in my son's class who just does not take any notice of the queue in the morning or afternoon, no idea of her name but she infuriates me.

Yes! Not quite the same, but we have tonnes of posts of 'anyone know who can make me a 1000 tier cake for tomorrow, must not charge an arm and a leg (read - must not charge a fair price).

Then you have lots of people tagging their favourite cake maker who invariably has to politely say no thanks.

Several of the parents on the school run who decide they must have a chat on different parts of the path leading to the school gate including the middle where it is quite narrow next to the pavement where people are coming from all directions to drop off their children as well as the ones who see you walking towards them at a pace obviously faster than they are walking on a junction and take up the entire narrow pavement with their child/children so no one can get past them, and forcing you to ask them to let you past.

I go into the street, looking around and listening for cars instead until I get to a part of the pavement where it is clear.

Funny enough, some of these parents I pass after dropping off end up running towards the school gate before it shuts so they don’t have to walk around and check their children in as late.

On our local facebook page organisations frequently advertise charity events and ask for volunteers to help with things. There is a man who is ALWAYs the first to reply, to explain how incredibly experienced he is in whatever they are asking for and how he could run the whole thing single handed, except that on that date he's not available for some very minor reason. He then tags in, or names, other people that he thinks should help instead. These people are usually women with jobs, children etc and more than enough on already. Eg. Asking for people to help cook and serve food at an over-60s Xmas party. Man will answer 'Having been head chef at a huge hotel for many years I could run this without needing any help but I'm having my hair cut that morning. Jenny who runs the PTA will do it.' He sometimes volunteers local businesses to do work for free too.

I'm sure he is a bit of a Walter Mitty, as he claims to have had so many careers etc (and got to the top in all of them), including serving in just about every part of the armed forces.

I haven't even met him but he annoys me

This reminds me of 'running at full pelt up and down the gym walkway guy', who annoys the shite out of me, mainly because he gets annoyed if people get in his way, but its a passage to get to the gym floor and rooms, so people are supposed to walk up and down there.

They are not supposed to run up and down at top speed, making a heck of a racket and weirdly showing off. If you want to do that, go to a park.

A woman in my gym who attends the same yoga class as me, and then spends some time on the gym floor afterwards. She is always carrying a massive jute shopping bag with her things in it, and in the winter she had her coat, scarf etc. She lugs in round with her from machine to machine, and takes up loads of space in the small area outside the studio to put your shoes with her frigging massive bag.

I was quietly anoyed about it until just after Christmas when she and I finished at the same time and we went into the changing room where she locked her bag away so she could shower. Why she could not do that the whole time is beyond me.

So its petty but it annoys the heck out of me.

We have been told on 3 for 2, that all 3 items need to be returned, unless faulty and if faulty product out of stock, swap it for same price or cheaper and if more expensive than the other two, must pay the difference.

We had a woman who lived at the back of me and she kept on saying how proud she of her 6 children. This is the woman whose eldest son aged 21/22 broke into a flat in the small hours and raped an elderly lady in her mid 80s He's in prison serving 15 years. Then one of her daughters is also in prison for assaulting a woman who left her blind in one eye and unable to walk unaided. Can't remember her sentence.

Proud of your kids when 2 are banged up? Plus her other 4 are vile.

Work in a supermarket and you will find many people you see regularly, don't know them and annoy you

^

This reminds me of when I worked in Boots and the 3 for 2 deals were really good, I think you used to get a No 7 voucher too.

There was a customer who would buy the 3 for 2, then a day later would just return one item, without reciept. She was doing it constantly. No comeuppance, ever. Kept the gift vouchers etc etc.

The ' beige' family that life near us.

They all dress in beige/pale colours ALL the time. The guy always wears a beige cap. Beige jeans, beige jacket. The children are all dressed in either beige or pale pink all the time. The mother wears beige leggings all the time, even running in the snow, in the winter!

It drives me mad

I'm irrationally annoyed by people at the gym who do very show-y off-y stuff in a very performative way.
Why does anyone need to throw huge heavy weighted ball things down from over their heads, making the floor shake?
Why do two guys have 'jumping on and off big boxes' competitions, grunting loudly and cheering one another on?
I had a PT session recently and when the trainer asked me if there was anything I'd like to focus on I told them nothing attention-seeking. They knew exactly what I meant and asked me if I'd encountered 'hand-stand guy' or 'use all the floor mats width-ways to do planks for ages' guy.
For some reason it is usually blokes. Except for 'walk very slowly on the treadmill, but backwards' lady.
