What tiny things make you irrationally annoyed?

H

My DB who's table manners are non existent. On the rare occasions we eat together I have to listen to his food mulching about in his open mouth SO loudly.

When you stop to let a pedestrian cross the road and they dawdle like mad getting across or start walking diagonally. Just get out of the bloody road FFS!

We drive into parking spaces forwards because we generally have a giant breed dog in the boot and they need enough space to jump out when we open the tailgate.

Hearing my colleague swallow her tea. She drinks cups and cups every day and has a way of swallowing that is loud and obnoxious.

People who leave their trolley in the middle of the aisle or wander off but leave their trolley blocking shelves.

Drivers who don’t use their indicators. As a driver and a pedestrian, this is both annoying and dangerous.

Going into a coffee shop and ordering a flat white that is definitely not a flat white. So many can’t make them properly, it’s weird.

The parent WhatsApp group for my DDs class.
It can be useful at times but theirs a few people on their who seem incredibly lazy and stupid, they ask ridiculous questions. I don’t know why it bothers me, I just find them very annoying. I always think ‘just read the newsletter and school emails like everyone else!!’

Ooh yes to those definitely...

I drive into parking spaces as apposed to reversing in majority of the time. I need access to my boot to load shopping,bags of feed for horses anything for the stables etc. I can't access my boot nor able to lift stuff easily to the boot.

Or people (it's always men) doing that whole fists up boxing pose for photos. Cringe.

People who are quite capable of speaking clearly, saying fing, fousand, fink, froo, free...It's become a trendy thing to do and I'm not including dialects here by the way, for which this is standard, such as cockney.

The ubiquitous 'more slower, more better, more busier' etc. It's MORE SLOWLY OR SLOWER, not BOTH.

Or get out straight onto bathmat, dry himself and hang bathmat and towel up?

Or the minks led out of court handcuffed and middle finger if press take a photo..could be a Scottish thing because a lot of them do it.

Or even worse people sticking their middle finger up, usually middle aged men thinking they're funny...they're not, they're gross.

People who use AI images to advertise their small business or event. Just had one come up on my local facebook page from a woman advertising a baby/child preloved sale coming up, but the image she's used is very clearly AI - a big room stuffed full of toys, clothes, pushchairs. Some people will look at that and think it's the actual sale. To be honest, it makes me think it's dodgy and I'll avoid going.

Not being able to find the charger that fits laptop/phone/watch/iPad but finding every other charger in the world.

The sticky tabs on food such as rice or pasta not working and food falling on my face as I take packet out of the cupboard.

I hate my boss. And she is lovely..

Half mast trousers.
Slow walkers.
Slow Drivers.
The plastic seal on a milk container

Why doesn't he dry himself whilst standing in the shower after?

Mostly other peoples poor driving skills. The non indicators, people who reverse out of a parking space, instead of reversing in. The lazy arsed parents who park right outside the school gate, endangering all our kids (you know who you are😤)

The things I overhear on the commute…
I work somewhere with very tight security so I’m extra aware of it.

Queuing for ages at supermarket checkout behind someone with a huge shop....who then starts fumbling around for their purse/wallet only after everything has been rung up. As if it comes as a huge surprise to them that they are actually expected to pay.

My DH sneezes. I say 'Bless you'. 5 seconds later he sneezes again. Dilemma: what to do? Say 'Bless you' again and feel silly/pedantic, or ignore the 2nd sneeze and risk him feeling I don't care? I am irritated out of all proportion by this.

People who don't get out of our way when I am pushing DS down the street in his wheelchair and insist on walking or standing right in our path. It is fairly easy to walk in a straight line but really hard to stop/start or turn with the combined weight of an adult in a wheelchair. Part of me wants to just keep going and run them over.

(This one is really irrational) People wearing new coats with slits at the back which haven't had the stitches taken out which keep them closed. Something about that giant cross stitch I find so irritating.

When people buy you a ‘gift’ that requires you to do something. Like my aunt buying me a picture that needs me to buy a frame (still sat under the stairs 5 years later) or when people buy you something that needs to be planted in the garden. I have no free time whatsoever. You think I want extra jobs???

Lattes often being served in glass cups with NO HANDLE - how the fuck are you meant to drink it without burning your fingers!!!!!!

i ALWAYS send them back now and ask for it to be decanted into a mug or cup i can use - and breathe!

Going for a wee in our en-suite at night and getting my pyjama bottoms soaked via my water puddles left from my husband’s pre-bed shower.

hopefully won’t happen again as I went red rage mad last time - the shower mat exists for a reason!

When you shopping online and click to view an item and you are inundated with pop ups saying

• this item is popular
• 50 people are looking at this right now
• last ordered so many minutes ago
• in demand!

And you have to close them all to actually view the item. I do not care how many people are looking at it! I just want to see if it suits me.

Eurghh agreed!

although it would be "please reach out to myself or Linda" 🤢

People sticking their tongue out and doing the V sign in photos. Mainly influencers. I don’t know why this annoys me so much 🤣
