Lighthearted- What petty thing(s) bother you?

Portmanteau words, especially in the context of clothes, eg shacket

I’ll add to that sharing medical information at all!! Especially older family members grimly gossiping about family and friends. Do I need to hear about aunty Janice’s colonoscopy, or June from next door but one’s hysterectomy ?! No thank you!

DBS applications.

All activewear/gym clothing for women described as ‘buttery soft’ in the name. By any retailer, in the online description, by influencers promoting it. You can’t just have yoga/gym/running leggings any more, they have to be buttery soft.

Grown men who wear replica shirts and team scarves to football games. Grow up, you immature twats.

When my hair gets trapped in the hinges of my glasses.

One of my favourite comments was from a parent at a swimming gala. There was a display of medal holders,
Parent 1 said “Oh look you these are cute you can get them personalised, I might get one for Jenny she’s got quite a few to display now”
Parent 2 “ Oh they’re wooden too, so pretty strong. Lucy’s is plastic and is starting to break…it simply can’t cope with the sheer weight of all her medals

One day Lucy will die and her relatives will just chuck all these medals in the bin as tat. It's very sad that something that is so meaningful to parents probably means less to the child and will mean even less to their relatives.

I have been reading some older books (John le Carré right now) and the authors keep assuming that anyone reading their books will also be able to read French. So I keep having to check my phone for translations.

That annoying piece of hair that's too short to tie up or tuck behind my ear but just hangs there

Road works where they put the signs on the pavement so those with buggies have to go into the road with their babies to get past. Goodness knows what wheelchair users are supposed to do.

Equally irritating is bin day, where both householders and bin men leave bins blocking the pavement when if they’d just taken a little more time the pavement would be much more accessible.

Parents who talk loudly and boastful at children's sport/dance competitions. "Oh look, it's Mary, with Jessica. Come and sit by us. We've been here all day. Olivia was in the first heat and now we've got to wait an hour for the medal presentation, Obviously she got gold again, 3rd year running". With a voice like a foghorn.

Also people (mainly inlaws) give out the wrong medical information about people. Sometimes they over react and Sometimes they under react. Also sometimes they get 2 words confused that sound the same but mean 2 different things like when they told everyone they knew that a mutual friend was having an autopsy when he was having a biopsy.

Dunce caps should be brought back for people who put an ‘e’ in ‘ridiculous’. I see it daily. It’s ’ridiculous’, not ‘rediculous’!

People who eat noisily, pick their teeth and lick their knives SHOULD BE shot!
lol

When a man wears a shirt without a tie and does up the top button.

People, especially guys, who can't do the simplest DIY, nor do they have a single tool in the house. I think it's incumbent on the man of the house to have a drill, a set of spanners, screwdrivers, tapemeasures, hammers, etc.

It took me probably a hundred lessons and four tests to pass. If I can do it anyone can.

Why, as long as they are competant at reversing out? I make a judgement call depending on the surrounding space.

I am a fellow sufferer, plus he leaves greasy marks on the kitchen cupboard door handles.

My DH never, never rinses out the dishcloth after using it to wipe something off a plate or on the worktop. So when I go to use it, it stinks of curry/gravy/tomato and is cold and greasy. It's horrible to rinse out too! I cannot get him to rinse it out himself.

No, can't say I've ever done that 🤣

Oh yes. Me too except the Temu one.
I’ve never used Temu.

My pet irritant is catching my clothing on a door handle as I pass thru. If I’d tried to do it, I’d never succeed.

sorry if this has already been suggested but I couldn’t cope with the overwhelm of driving until I tried automatic, then I learned and passed quickly!

There was a footpath closed. Except you weren't aware because there was no signage until you got to the closed footpath! Had to go all the way back and find a crossing. Main road no way I was going to try and cross it
