Petty things that annoy you about other people

[GeorgieTheGorgeousGoat]

I have a few I want to get off my chest, feel free to add yours!

1. my SIL always messages just ‘hi’ when she wants to start a text conversation. She won’t just get on and ask or say what she needs to, she waits for you to reply ‘hi’ or whatever back and then we have 3/4 messages of inane how are you?’ before she spits out the favour she wants orbquestion she has.

2. people asking for the kids Christmas lists last week. It was fucking September!

3. drivers who leave massive fuck off gaps when parking along the road outside school in particular.

4. arseholes who never let me out of my driveway even when they’re say in traffic literally going nowhere, they’d rather block me in

5. my next door neighbour. Every single thing she does pisses me off.

Care to add?

No Firstborn I'm not saying that

I pronounce Chicago exactly as it's
written

The Sade comment was related to those who write the R and how my sister took it literally. It was several posts ago

@AmIthatbloodycold sorry. That was in response to you saying "we pronounce our /r/"

When you've worked night shift, and are exhausted after 30 hours awake, and someone says,"Oh I know how you feel, I woke to pee"

People who say Pacific instead of specific.

When I was going through fertility treatment, those people who said I should adopt when they themselves had biological,children.

People who let their dogs run up to me/my children and bark, or wipe dog snot/drool on my clothes. Even worse when the dogs bowl my terrified children over like skittles or eat food from our picnic if we are sat in the grass in a park.

Motorbikers who have bikes with illegally loud exhausts and wake me up at 6am EVERY weekend when I am desperate for a lie in.

Loving the Chicago debate. Chicagi? Calamity Jane.

Spitters in public usually men, disgusting especially when they make the sound of Hawking.

Drivers who deliberately push ahead Whilst you wait patiently at the light then expect you to let them in again as they are in wrong lane and practically Force you to.

People in supermarkets who dither. How can it take so long to pick some carrots.

People at the checkout who don't give you a chance to pay and are in your personal space with their trolley.

People who type with false nails. The noise!
People (the majority it seems these days) who cannot walk down the road without looking at their phone. You have to swerve around them to avoid colliding. If a collision takes place they tut at you.
Jealousy, lot of it about these days.
People who say they have eclectic taste in music in a bid to sound highbrow.
Noisy eaters. Or fast eaters.

People who ride their bicycles on the pavement.

People who try and tell me I have to call it a vulva, not vagina. I'll call it what I want thank you very much and don't give a crap what you think.

People who faff and dither. You may not have a life but I have. Get a move on!

People who lean over to scan an item at the self checkout that I'm at, when I haven't even got my bags out yet. I'VE JUST FUCKING GOT HERE!

"I thought you'd finished, you were getting your bags."

"Yes, you fucking moron, that's how the self checkout works. You put your bags on, scan your shopping, put it in the bags. FFS."

It really fucked things up, I had to call an assistant over to remove the fucking razors from the till, which he didn't the first time, so I had to explain again that they weren't mine.

I've also had people standing right behind me asking me if I've finished before I've put my bags on. These things always happen on a Sunday. Sunday shoppers should be banned from using the self checkout.

People who stop at roundabouts when there is nothing coming or at mini roundabouts perform sort of mexican standoff where nobody moves onto the roundabout at all.

This a million times plus people who stop on the roundabout to give way to someone ?? Last week, big roundabout, early on a Sunday so no traffic and the old codger in front of me in the inside lane, just stopped to let a car join the roundabout, except the driver of said car didn't want to as they understood the rules of the fucking roundabout

My retired mum who complains about how tired she is.

Yes Mum you've not worked for 22 years.
In fact you retired early, when you were my age and I get up at 4:30 to be in work for 7:00 and also have the commute from hell so I really sympathise, not.

I work in retail, so my list is long and plentiful.
Customers answering the phone when you're at the till being served is an obvious one.
Customers who argue the toss about the use of coupons or complain there's mud on their potatoes.
Customers who, when you've stopped for a couple of seconds, dump their groceries on the belt, saying, 'you look bored, this will give you something to do'. Hilarious.
Customers who tell me to stop standing around and do something, when I'm team leading 18 tills and 10 self scans. Piss off.
Yesterday was challenging.

People who just drive at 40mph. Whatever the speed limit is!

People who just drive at 40mph. Whatever the speed limit is!

Followed one yesterday who was doing a steady 33 in a 40 zone for a few miles. Then he finally sped up to 40 as he went through the 30 limit signs! Some people just don't have a clue - road signs aren't there to make the road look pretty you imbecile.

People who believe they know it all, have all the answers....they're right, everyone is wrong

Boils my blood

My friend calls any sparkling alcoholic drink Prosecco. She’s bought me champagne, I opened it and drank it with her, she continued going on about it being Prosecco. It baffles me.

Actually, she once called perry champagne so... I really do not know what’s going on with her.

And yes before anyone asks, it’s well beyond my energy level to correct her. I just suffer in silence.

My friend calls any sparkling alcoholic drink Prosecco.

Is she a Yank? I had to google prosecco when I first got on MN. It must not travel well, as it's not commonly sold in the US.

For me this morning, the knob in their car, indicating to turn right out of the carpark near school. Sat there. Sat there. Sat there. Letting every man, woman and child meander past.

Still didn't go when it was clear. Knob was waiting for someone who then got into the passenger side and off she went. Don't decide to leave the carpark until you've got your passenger in the car you knob! It's not a waiting area - it's a fucking entrance/exit.

There was a well meaning but extremely dim motorist on the main A road this morning who actually stopped to let the car in front of me out of our side road. Unfortunately there was traffic steaming down the main road on the other side. The car in front of me couldn’t possibly pull out. So there’s then a massive queue of cars behind the dimwit on the main road, probably all swearing, which I and the cars behind me then had to wait for once the car in front was actually able to pull out. It was most peculiar.

People who indicate at the very last second or not at all.

One woman the other morning pissed me off. I was getting off the tube at a major station. She got up in front of me and then stopped. She was waiting for a woman who had been standing to sit down but the girl was reading her book oblivious. There was plenty of room to pass the woman who was reading. I said 'Excuse me please' but nothing. Again, 'Excuse me please' and she didn't move I went to push past her and she finally moved. Stupid cow. Managed to get off just before the doors closed!

People in a cafe who take the table by the door and let their children stand in the doorway and block it, making everyone wait to go in or out, and saying 'Move out of the way darling, the lady wants to come in', 'Move out of the way again darling, the lady wants to go back out again'. Of course she does she is trying to order and get back to sit outside before someone pinches her table. Keep your annoying children in their seats you knob.

Also dislike the use of the word spag bol, whats wrong with spaghetti bolognaise.

Even worse - spag bog.

@pacer142 yes! This. Why?!? You are NOT good drivers. You are dangerous morons!

SAHMs who ask me to join them for coffee every single day, then get huffy that I never join them. There's a reason for that. It's called work, which incidentally still exists during school holidays so, no, I can't join you for a picnic either.

When you email a company with a question/request/complaint etc, and they reply to you but don't include your message.

It's so irritating to just get a "floating" message with no context.

Also, Santander just for existing.
