What tiny things make you irrationally annoyed?

I thought I was the only one who did that.

Professional customers - the type that aren't there to buy something or have a social meal or a drink with family or friends but who have appointed themselves experts on whatever establishment they're in and set out to 'test' the staff and are usually very disappointed when they don't catch you out in some perceived misdemeanor, and talk to you in a patronising and condescending tone about things like alcohol licencing, food safety, weights and measures and fire regulations with information that's usually about 10 years out of date, like they're giving a lecture.
They usually leave a 4 page review on TA and describe every little detail of their visit down to a detailed description of the spider that was in the toilets and the staffs reaction in a minute by minute account when it was 'reported'.

Yes but not in the EU.

How behind my dermatology department always is. My appointment is at 9am and I have to arrive at 9am or I miss my appointment but I won’t actually be called into the room until 10am and I won’t leave entirely until 11am (once it was 1pm!).

How? How is it so behind so early in the morning?

Oh yes @GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER!

Oh, and some radio ad for a private healthcare provider which ends with ‘Healthcare done different!’

People who seem to have deleted adverbs from their vocabulary. DH and I regularly shout ‘LY!’ at the telly.

When I’ve set an alarm for dinner, I ask Alexa how much time left on the timer ‘you don’t have any timers set’. Girl, you know exactly what I mean

I hate it when you walk past Lush and the stench it gives off. It’s like people who vape in public. It’s forcing a smell on you without giving you any say in the matter. I’d never actually go into Lush due to their views on Gender.

Mud. On Christmas eve I took my kids to the park to try and tire them out. All I achieved was getting everyone's shoes and the pram wheels caked in mud and leaves which gave to an irrational rage when I got home (and no one got tired)
Same thing happened trick or treating

I used to work at Lush and honestly we hate having to pounce as much as the customers do! I could write a whole post on the ridiculous things management say. I've been told to not ask consent before rubbing product on customers because it gives them the chance to say no, and gotten in trouble when I've refused to do so.

My niggle is when I wake up having fallen asleep with my glasses on so they've fallen on the floor, and can't find them without patting everywhere because I can't see. Also my husband's alarms. He uses them a lot for reminders throughout the day and it's useful for his ADHD but the ringing gives me rage

Banging my legs on the open dishwasher - i opened it, how do I not know it is there?

People suddenly infront of me on the pavement or in supermarkets.
There are a lot of socially inept people about.

I'm surprised anyone has a work's call in earshot of strangers. So much confidential information - business and personal information. I'm often amazed at the stuff I hear on trains - actual client names etc. Sackable offence surely?

This 👆
Plus people who use the train as their office, especially first thing in the morning. Sitting there typing at 6.30 - I swear it sounds louder on a quiet train than anywhere else. Then we have the ones trying to type in a cramped seat on a packed train so they elbow you every 30 seconds. I would have separate carriages where they can all type noisily and bump elbows together so the rest of us can commute in peace!

There is/there’s with a plural. Ditto here is/here’s…
I want to slap all offenders, hard.

Oh, and some radio ad for a private healthcare provider which ends with ‘Healthcare done different!’ 🤯

And the dropping things! Carrying a (I know) far too big pile of things, drop one thing, bend to pick it up and just get upright when another thing drops, and you bend to pick that up when the first thing drops again...

Closely linked, unsurprisingly, to the 'loading up the washing machine with all the bedding from your bed and turning it on, going back upstairs to find that one of the pillow cases fell off the pile onto the stairs and is now going to need to go in a different load'. Well, bugger.

Putting teens empty bin/laundry basket at the bottom of the stairs blocking their way for them to take back into their bedtoom and they literally just move it to the side to pass them 🤬

Shops should provide a crèche for husbands.

My Irrrational annoyances - ring pull tins - the ring always comes off in my hand. Also shampoo and conditioner bottles that look identical, so I always go up to the till with two conditioners.

But the UK is in Europe

And when you've arrived at something via a search engine that happens to end up on their site for a different country or territory, they never send you to the equivalent page on the right country's website - i.e. the same product/range but in pounds rather than dollars - it's always just the generic front page, and the item you wanted might not be easily findable/available there.

Men standing in women's clothes shops blocking your access to them!

People saying ‘brought’ instead of ‘bought’
people leaving their trolley in the middle of the aisle while they look at something on the shelf
incorrect use of apostrophes (as in ‘mum’s of the world’)
noises when people eat with their mouth open
people that don’t indicate
pop up ads where you can’t find the ‘x’ to close them
pop up ads in general
when the loo roll holder is positioned behind you and you have to perform a contortion to wipe your bum

many other things. I’m menopausal.

not being able to find the YouTube sleep video I want to fall asleep to immediately and my projector making a whirring noise why can't it be silent. The post office just not bothering to deliver for two days on my street and that's all mail not just parcels. Being asked the same question about 30 times in one day. My partner not using critical thinking and walking up to me and then sneezing or coughing or blowing his nose like a fog horn. Having a problem any kind of problem and my partner just sort of stands there and waits for me to sort it out immediately every single time any problem it's my problem not his. People talking in the street directly outside my front door. People complaining about noise and I can hear them every single day. people on the phone without speaker and it sounds like they are right next to me. Not getting signal in the one place I'm comfortable in the whole house I swear phone call quality has gotten a lot worse. People pissing on your parade or just never happy for you it makes me really depressed.

The website thing, ugh! Not only also the discount pop up, but the cookie pop up, followed by 'you look like you're in Europe, would you like me to redirect you to the EU site?' when I'm in the UK, AND THEN the pop up asking if I'd like to sign up to their mailing list for 10% off.

By the time I get to the actual home page I am already fed up and don't bother looking at anything

Wet dressing gown sleeve(s). People who cough/sneeze and make no effort at all to cover their face 😡

My husband slurping his tea which he drinks boiling hot!

People who say 'can I get' in cafes and pubs - sounds so rude!
Shops assistants who say 'enjoy the rest of your day' - I'm sure they are told to say it, but can't honestly mean it!
Servers who say 'Enjoy' when bringing your food - why can't they say 'I hope you enjoy your xxxx' or even 'Bon Appetit'!
