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?

Those flippin' I AM NOT A ROBOT pics you have to tick to access a website!!...grrrr!!

Oh and today bringing your entire family in to a tiny card shop and taking up a whole aisle of cards just so you can look at each and every one of them. Then complaing loudly about others who dared to lean over you so they could see.

Faffers are the bane of my life. Faffers pootling along at 29mph on NSL roads before slowing down to almost walking pace for anything resembling a bend.

Faffers at airports who appear completely ignorant of security rules and processes which have now been in place for over a decade, and appear to be incapable of understanding and complying with simple notices explaining them.

Faffers in supermarket queues who appear to be surprised when asked to pay for their shopping then start searching in their handbags for their purse while apologising and getting flustered and dropping their card and forgetting their PIN and JUST FUCKING GET OUT OF MY WAY YOU FUCKING MORON!!

Drivers who stop to 'let' me cross an otherwise empty road. Or try to wave me across in front of them, completely oblivious to other cars around them. Then there's the whole waving/nodding thing while I have to check it's actually safe to cross. Just keep driving and we'll all be on our way more quickly - you're overcomplicating it!

People who are sitting in your reserved seats on the train and get arsey about moving.

I've had this happen on a plane flight! Bloke wanted to sit next to his friend in my isle seat on a fully booked 5 hour flight. It took two flight attendants and a threat to have him taken off the flight before he moved.

What really pisses me off are people who drift in and out of their lane in traffic, as if the lines on the roads were mere suggestions.

@Talith yes totally agree re starting sentences with “so” - drives me mad.
People on my housing estate who have trouble keeping to one side of the road when driving , it seems when there are no white lines they have to drive in the middle.
The person I work with who NEVER tidies up after herself and leaves everything for our admin team to sort out ( and they do).
Stealth boasts on Facebook / pity posts on Facebook. ( you ok hun?)

Yeah, there ought to be a special place in hell for those people who SUDDENLY REALISE THAT YES, THEY WILL MAKE YOU PUT YOUR LIQUIDS IN THAT SHITTY LITTLE PLASTIC BAG JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE HAS DONE, while they obliviously rock up for their turn at security with all their cosmetics in a normal make up bag

Chewing loudly, breathing loudly, snoring.

Hilariously I just described the person I've chosen to spend the rest of my life with. Bloody brilliant.

#shotsfired People who quote phone numbers outside the recognised format, e.g 0789 1234 567 for a mobile

Arghh I have learned my mobile number one way and I can't deal with it any other way eg 07789 ten eleven twelve, if someone reads it back to me in the format 0778 910 1112 I am completely flummoxed.

Please someone tell me I am not alone in this??

@GunpowderGelatine:

Also, conversations that go:
"Good morning, ShotsFired"
"Can I speak to ShotsFired please?"

What did I JUST SAY (when I picked up my direct dial phone line)?!

======
Also people that drag their trolleys round by a corner, so it swings about the place and takes up masses of space.

Thought of another.
People who think it’s ok to park on double yellow lines, or hatched areas, because, well they are entitled to do so / rules don’t apply to them.

Fitness fanatics who have to mention it at irrelevant times, for instance you ask them if they fancy meeting for dinner at 7 and they say "Yes that'll be fine, I'll be home from the gym by noon".

Noise from phone speakers. Just use headphones or talk normally just don't use the bloody speaker in public.

So, people who start a sentence with "so."

Swiftly followed by the use of 'End of', a written version of two fingers, it seems to imply that in the opinion of the illiterate writer the argument is concluded, in their favour.

Can I also risk the wrath here and say I don't know whether I find sad or annoying the number of people on this site who don't seem to make any decision without 'posting for traffic' or asking 'AIBU', not big issues or decisions but incredibly trivial stuff. Those splinters from fence sitting must be very painful in your derrieres.

Oh and phones in the cinema. Why??!! Just switch it off for a couple of hours and watch the film you paid to see.

People who declare on Facebook they are ill .
People who # everything
People who don't understand give way to right on the roundabout so it becomes a bit of a standoff who goes next .
People who line up in a queue at bars like they are in the post office queue and everyone follows even though there is no reason do that , you just stand at bar not line up.
People who take forever to park

Cyclists on narrow roads. Who merrily continue meandering on down the road oblivious to the 40 cars now following behind them.

Learner HGVs. We have a school for lorry drivers near us, and sometimes it is chaos! (Especially in rush hour)

Yesterday we had a very interesting combination of both the above. Fortunately I turned off to drop at school, as it was clearly going to be an absolutely massive traffic jam at peak time...

And yes, people, especially when walking, talking or breathing. Or emailing.

All of the above.

I'll also add drivers who pull up behind a car waiting at traffic lights but leave a big space between them and the car in front of them. Then, when you've pulled up behind them and stopped they creep forward leaving you looking like the twat who left a big gap. WHY???

Faffers in supermarket queues

You forget those who need to pack their bags to a system. I was once behind a couple, she'd gone to get the inevitable forgotten item, returned when he'd almost finshed, hit the roof and emptied all the bags and repacked them before she paid, then had the nerve to make a comment about my unimpressed expression. Also, if you have forgotten something, tough, finishing going through, pay, then go and get what you want, why should the rest be inconvenienced for your forgetfulness?

I have a Facebook friend whose current status, posted at 11am;

‘Food in hospital so bad, so so hungry and haven’t been able to eat yet 😭😭😭’

Cue 50+ comments of ‘OMG hun why you in hospital?’ ‘You need to eat to keep your strength up!’ ‘Thinking of you sweetie!!’

At 5pm posts ‘it’s ok everyone we were visiting my gran who had her hip done and we had to wait around all day but the canteen food was awful, we nipped our to MacDonalds at lunchtime lol!’

I mean....that is another level of attention seeking...

@MsOliphant ** I'd unfriend her

People with a complete lack of spatial awareness.

Every time I am in a queue, the person behind me is so fucking close they may as well be wearing my clothes too!

I've taken to standing in a kind of side astride/fend off position, elbows poised - yes, I look a bit odd but it keeps me almost sane.

I can’t sorry! She’s way too entertaining. It’s a car-crash!

Her job is to dress up as a Disney princess for kid’s parties, put on a phoney American accent and clasp her hands together in a weird way while she wafts about, it’s too funny

Every London cyclist who sale through red lights and weave through pedestrians.

Teenagers who get on the bus, sit on the aisle seats of 6 rows, and then have loud and dramatic conversations.

Watching every single secondary school child at the bus stop go into the news agents and come out with sweets and cakes for breakfast. Every, single, morning.

My noisy, weed smoking downstairs neighbours who think 3am chats on their terrace are fine.

The fact that, as I type, my laptop is currently covered in icing sugar...

People who say (write) OF when they really mean HAVE. Aaaaarrrgghhh!!!!!
