Stupid things that annoy you

P S. I hope you're not being annoyed by my disability to spell!

Well, I posted it in the appropriate place, didn't I?! (And it is a word but a non-standard spelling of it. Also, was probably a typo...)

No one. Noone isn't a word! That's really annoying.

Being annoyed by something you shouldn't be annoyed by is, by definition, a stupid thought. And noone is saying they are being annoyed by someone's disability.

Drivers that flash/let you go for no reason. Hear me out… waiting to turn out of a junction and one car driving that road, they flash you to let you go when there’s hardly any traffic behind them so you could easily turn out once they’ve passed you… why?! Just continue driving and I will pull out as per the Highway Code!

I don't understand why something like this would make you so angry. I have real things to deal with in life that upset me.

Other people's stupid thoughts are fine. Being annoyed due to someone's disability, not fine.

no more fine than being racist, except on MN where being ableist is fine.

I already have.

Yeah & how does she think she'd know if someone was disabled or not??

im not stretching, im pissed off with being judged for being 'lazy or uncouth' when I'm actually disabled.

The person who rang me in work last week to tell me they were running late for a meeting and would arrive at 45 minutes past 8! What!! I said do you mean quarter to 9, he repeated he would arrive at 45 minutes past 8!

…but the poster literally excluded those with disabilities from her judgment. You’re stretching to the extreme here.

The poster wasn’t annoyed by anyone’s disability though.
Loud people annoy me. I can totally see the young woman shouting in the swimming pool has a disability.Which is why I don’t tell her to shut up. But actually I wouldn’t tell anyone to shut up because it’s a free country and some people are just loud.
Thats the point of this thread … they are stupid things that you don’t say out loud because they are stupid.

Why not share yours @FrozenFebruary

It doesn't make any difference because they are inner thoughts. I could have cited hair colour or accents or other things that aren't a choice. We're all human and have irrational likes and dislikes. As long as we don't voice our inner thoughts in inappropriate places, it's fine. A thread on MN about stupid things that annoy you is just the right place to voice them. If you don't want to know other people's stupid thoughts, don't read threads like these.

Fashion sense/parking/tattoos are not the same. They're a choice, being disabled is not.

not so much now. But my old local supermarket is very popular with holidaymakers using local campsites. it was a nightmare on a wet day when it wasn’t a beach day. Entire families no knowing what they want for tea as it wasn’t bbq weather. And the whole family in tow because it’s the family holiday. Didn’t know where anything was as unfamiliar shop. And because they had nothing else to do apart from go back to a wet tent no sense of urgency.

Parents who have kids and their names don't "go" together.
Like Mary,John and then Beyonce.
Has no bearing on my life but it annoys me.

I hear you on this.

I was brought up in this type of family. Mum didn't drive, dad worked mon - fri so on a Saturday they would both sleep in until about mid day then we would all go to the supermarket.

We were hungry (not allowed to use the cooker without supervision) we sometimes made toast holding the toast on a fork to the gas fire - if you want to punish your kids, get them to make toast this way.

So I'm sure my brother and I were cranky and hungry and not interested in which brand of beans to buy.

God, a lighthearted thread went down fast

Another peeve of mine.

There’s so many!
Top would be;
wilful ignorance/cognitive dissonance about the state of society (links to us slowly sleep walking into a fascist government, like we did with Brexit). The fact we are stupid because we don’t learn. But primarily for many until it impacts their lives directly they honestly won’t care. Then when their SEND child suddenly has funding taken away or their local takeaway closes because the owners have been kicked out they’ll be a slow realisation that they’ve screwed themselves. And they will blame everyone but themselves.
So, long and short of it, many do not care until a situation directly impacts them, alongside fact that everyone has become so grabby ‘each for themselves’.
i swear it wasn’t always like this.

They are 'inner thoughts'. We have no idea what other people are thinking (unless we read threads like these). I'm sure there are plenty of people reading this and finding out that their tattoos/parking habits/fashion sense annoys other people - and just shrugging it off. It's amusing to learn how easily annoyed people can be by silly little things, and to realise that it really doesn't matter.

They aren't 'inner thoughts' when someone chooses to put them on an internet forum!

woukd it be ok if someone ousted something really racist because it's their 'inner thoughts'?

I don't. The vast majority of posts are not aimed at something a disabled person can't help needing.

I think this thread would be a bit bare if everybody did that.

Equally you don’t need to get upset by someone’s inner thoughts.
We all look at people and think things about them, rightly or wrongly. Equally we all know our assumptions can be wrong.

Watching a Tik Tok about winning a tattoo if you're in the shop.
Also mentions alcohol.
Someone just asked can they bring their grandson who's 3.
It's OK though he'll be in his pram.
