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?

People who say, ‘trolley dolly’, ‘suited and booted’ etc., then look proud and slightly bashful, as if they should be admired for using stupid, unfunny cliches that were hackneyed within the first five minutes. Are you so thick that you can’t invent your own sentences?

People who insist on telling me their dreams.
Facebook attention seekers. Got this the other day.
Heartbroken and oh so proud. ..
Cue a zillion huns clamouring for info.
She never even explained, silly woman.

People who leave online reviews for things they haven't used yet.
"5☆ Haven't opened it but I know my little man will be so excited to get this on his birthday"....

Yes or on TripAdvisor;

‘I’m giving this place one star because we really wanted to go here on our trip but it is closed on Mondays so we couldn’t’

Oh. And excessive hash tagging on FB.

One of the women on my feed has hash tag branded her lifestyle it would appear. And every time she posts about anything (usually her kids or her house or food) she uses a lot ten hash tags #cute #mummyslilboy #madeuphashtagfornormalsahmlifestyle

Boils the old piss that one.

My kids leaving empty boxes, bottles etc in the fridge/cupboard so that I don't know it's actually gone until I go to eat/drink it.

People who don't pick up their dog shit.

People who stand to chat in doorways.

@MsOliphant, um Chicago Pronounced exactly the way it's spelt. There's no 'r' there.

People who can't make decisions about anything. I'm looking at you mother. She once needed to travel to France and couldn't decide if she should drive, fly or get the tunnel. It took all night and lots of "tell me what to do" - You're nearly 60, grow up and make a decision. Ordering a takeaway is absolute hell, and she always says "oh I'll just have what you're having". I could order a cat vomit omelette and she'd order one too. The 'copying' doesn't annoy me (see my earlier post ) but the indecisiveness does. And if she doesn't enjoy the meal it somehow my fault

Yes but...I’m aware there’s no ‘r’! But the should you make when you pronounce it would surely be ‘chi-car-go?’ Not ‘chic-a-go’?

To clarify, can you write it out phonetically?! Because I’m pretty sure I’ve heard it pronounced exactly as I do every time I’ve heard it!

I do love my job on the checkout but please,folks, can you stop saying “ It must be free” when something doesn’t scan! And either you want a 5p carrier or you don’t. It doesn’t warrant a long shall we/shan’t we discussion!

Ooh and the ultimate:

NEEDY PEOPLE

Argh!

And it’s not defiantly, it’s definitely! The number of times I have to hold myself back from correcting people on Facebook.
I also can’t stand the overuse of OMG!

Guy at work.

Was so nice when I arrived Mr Nice Guy Mr Laid Back. First to want to be friendly.

10 months on. He is the laziest swine you could ever meet and redefines Strategic Incompetence

His gravestone shall read "Why do it if you can manipulate a woman into doing it for you"

He drives me wild, I pity his wife

It's chi-ca-go. Three syllables. Here's an example of the correct American pronunciation.

My way is also three syllables

Oh my god that’s exactly how I was pronouncing it and how it sounds when I write it phonetically So I literally have no idea what you are on about.

If you've heard it with an r sound embedded somehow you've heard it wrong. The city name is from the French rendering of a native American plant name.

IT HAS AN ‘AR’ SOUND IN IT, IT DOESN’T MEAN I LITERALLY THINK IT HAS THE LETTER ‘R’ in it!!

My SILs FB updates Out for a walk #healthy #vegan #walk #fitness #plantpower #life
#fuckoff
People who park on pavements lazy arses
People who write stupid hard to follow instructions

Oh @sweetkitty I think I know your SIL 😄 or one just like her

There is no "ar" sound in the pronunciation of Chicago. Listen to the youtube video.

Yes. There is. The ‘ago’ part would rhyme with ‘cargo’. HOW is that not an ‘r’ sound?

It doesn't rhyme with cargo.

How many times have you visited the city?

WTAF does that matter?!

Look, clearly I’m not using an American accent because I’m not American, and it would be stupid to affect one, but there IS an ‘ar’ sound in that word. If there wasn’t, I would be pronouncing it as ‘Shicaggo’

That is phonetic, by the way, as there seems to be a bit of confusion there.

Look up rhotic and non rhotic quick, both of you.

Non rhotic English speakers spell a long 'ah' as 'ar'. They say cah pahk instead of car park. It's hard for a rhotic speaker to grasp as we say r so ar is exactly that.
