Things that PISS you off, but you can't really say so.

Funny that. What pisses me off is people who work with disabled kids thinking they know better than parents what their child needs.

Thank you, OP, for articulating the "nanty nan" thing. I am generally an relatively easy-going soul, but this drives me up the wall. It's it so many TV commercials at the moment!

Car drivers who park on pavements. Twats.

If someone put their horn on indefinitely, I'd be tempted to get out of my car and ask them if there was something wrong.

Tbf sometimes it's an accent they've picked up at home/in the local community.

Accents are fascinating about when/how people get them. My sister is 1 year younger than me. We moved from wales to Liverpool when we were 6/7. My sister now talks with a very Liverpool accent. I didnt have any accent but when I was 19 moved to Cheshire. Ive lived in Cheshire for 10 years and am now picking up this accent. I dont like it so Im having to catch myself. 🤣 My parents still have the accent from Wales.

I started to put something then realised it made me sound like a bitch (rather than frustrated) and if the person read it, they would be very hurt so I guess I'll continue to keep it to myself.

Vinted buyers and sellers. People buying stuff that has a clear and detailed description ie satisfactory / worn for a couple of quid but then moaning about the item! Ffs. Equally people sending clothing items that are dirty ie bought a toddler coat, it was dirty, just needed a wash but who the hell doesn’t wash an item of clothing before selling.

When people say nail 'varnish' instead nail polish. Sorry OP. 😊I cannot stand it, I just want to stamp my feet and say it's POLISH you imbecile!

Im English. I have never adopted the American ‘polish’. It is varnish. Look at the French ‘vernis à ongles’. Varnish.

I'm irrationally annoyed about a company correcting their mistake and apologising! Bear with me.
I have to oversee a bank account that has been nothing but a pain in the arse since its inception. If I'd known the plan beforehand I could have pointed out the problems, specifically if this, that and the other happened. Well, this, that and the other DID happen so I've got to deal with this shit.
I asked for a cheque to be issued but (yet again) they cocked it up. I wrote a polite letter saying could they send me the paperwork I'd completed, just in case I'd done it wrong. Instead of sending me my paperwork, they must have looked at it, realised their mistake, cancelled the wrong cheque and sent the right one. All fine, right? No it bloody isn't, I had the reply that I was going to send written in my head, pointing out their ineptitude AGAIN, and various other points too numerous to mention. It would be petty to send a letter pointing out these facts now, as it's all OK now but I'm cross.
I get no thanks from my family members for the admin of this account (apart from one), although whenever I try to sort something out, all I hear about is how marvellous my brother is (golden boy). I'm bloody good at forms and admin and bank accounts but sorting this account out nearly broke me.
Mind you, the other day I sat and wrote a list of how many times I've had to write to them, Googled how much the postage has been historically and totalled it up. When this account is closed, I'm taking my postage expenses out first.

I have a friend who I love but find incredibly annoying. She’s an absolute bore and has never learnt the art of reciprocity in conversation.

A group of us ‘girls’ are going out this weekend. There will be a covert attempt from all to neither sit next to her, nor in her eye line. I usually lose this sneaky battle, so I’ll end up missing out on all the good chat whilst she drones on and on at me.

She also drinks too much and starts offering unwanted advice to people, and offending them in the process.

I knew a family where the parents had divorced by the time no3 baby was born (or he may have been a tiny baby at the time)

All 3 lads had very mild learning difficulties (and I mean mild)

She milked it for all it was worth-they had every single disability under the sun if you listened to her

Dad did his best to enrich their lives but mum was scared of losing her extra benefits and refused to allow them anything bar school and their bedrooms (and refusing any support from school that they could have done with)

He'd enroll them into say,beavers or karate and she pull them out before they even started in case 'it brought them along' and would have meltdowns if he took them out to the park or zoo

All 3 are now adults and don't have jobs or lives (all 3 would have been able to work a job that wasn't very challenging) but she won't let them so they sit around at home playing on their tablets or on the PlayStation

All so she wouldn't lose her benefits (which she lost as they grew up anyway,so she takes their disability benefits from them to make up for it)

Yet a friend of mine has 3 disabled kids and she works so hard to get them anything she thinks will enrich their lives (2 will never work or leave home)

Some people are not fit parents and piss takers

The fact that insurance companies are exempt from the rules governing unfair clauses and exclusions. This means they can charge as much as they like, but deliver as little as they like, and for any reason they like. It makes my blood boil.

I get you now. Yes, kids can be challenging but these things should not be discussed around the child!

Only ever focussing on the negatives is the way to insanity for all concerned.

Don't go to Australia! That's the official name for it! MicDonald's or Micky Ds

@LoveSandbanks sorry, I didn’t tag you properly in my reply!

I guess by the term bridesmaid I also meant flower girl 🤷‍♀️

People going to work sick and giving it to everyone else whilst thinking they are a saint for going in. The mentality in this country that you should go into work unless you are at death's door. Thankfully Covid changed the mindset to a degree. Please take 3 days off at the beginning of your illness when you are most vulnerable and contagious - it saves your own health and everyone else's

I don’t doubt your, and many others (including myself!), experiences of a “different” child at home.

But unfortunately, there are families that just make it up. These families are not only a drain on limited resources but are ruining their child’s life and their chances in a constant manner (often damaging them psychologically, as they constantly hear how awful they are, can’t do XYZ etc.) and I think it’s ok to hate those families and wish that I could say so to their face.

I'm sure this one has already come up, but my lovely DH having the bloody nerve to breathe at night. He's not quite snoring, but breathing really deep and loud and it drives me mad. I try to get to sleep before him or I'm scuppered.

And grandparent jealousy. My MIL (and FIL) live locally, see our kids frequently (usually at least once a week). My parents live about 4 hours away, so will visit for a few days every few months. Without fail, MIL will invite us (not my parents) for brunch the day they are due to arrive and lunch the day they are due to leave, expecting my parents to arrive later and leave earlier to suit. Drives me mad, but it's subtle enough that I can't call it out and just have to decline. We're never usually invited over for brunch or lunch unless there is a family birthday, so it smacks of possessiveness.

Omg I worked with a guy & he used to tell me that EVERY guy was staring at me wherever we went. I would tell him he's wrong & I would notice if that was the case (it definitely wasn't!) but he'd patronise me by saying "ahh but I notice these things, Connie". I then said, ok, well next time it happens, be sure to tell me. He didn't. To be fair, he did talk crap most if not all of the time

Your friend is absolutely nuts & I'd definitely be saying something if I could stop laughing for long enough 😆

One day, when I was feeling particularly bolshie and all the aisle seats were taken and none of the window seats, I said "OK, who is going to move so I can sit please? " Someone grudgingly did.

Brother - keeps saying he's broke, whilst living like a rockstar. Just spend £20k on a holiday, lives in a £600k house, drives top of the range car, but often claims poverty - stop lying!
Exactly this for me OP with my spoilt entitled sister! And she and her husband are constantly making passive aggressive comments, they are also snogging all the time in front of the family (they are in their 40s.) Sister rant done..😁

My db who is morbidly obese & has Chron's yet eats pasties, burgers, takeaway curries & anything beige he can get his hands on every day & posts the photos on Fb. He then moans that his weight loss surgery is taking longer than he was told & that he can't get help around the house to clean his bathroom etc. He hasn't worked in decades & he's a massive strain on the NHS
