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 give duff information such as to delete all emails to get rid of spam - because all the genuine ones will send a "deleted without being read" message to the sender so the genuine sender can re send it!
Sigh.
People who do really petty things in order to score a point rather than make things easier for the greater good. This includes ladies in their mid 60's! Grow up!

People who get their phone out to show you photos of random shit..I have two of these in my office, I’m scared to comment on anything now as they will say “oh we did that last year, look here’s a photo of my DD crossing a road” Or “my Mil likes that, look here’s a picture of her on my wedding day in 2003” ... why? grr

People who can't make decisions.
People on social media who can't spell such as my gawgus ( gorgeous) girl .
And I carnt ( can't ) wait till weekend. I'm so tirred ( tired ) I mean either your stupid or doing it on purpose to annoy me , have never heard of auto correct ? !! Drives me insane .

People who travel (mainly by train) with large wheely suitcases and block everyone else because they've forgotten they'll have to lift them on and off

I get the rage when people have this e wheely suitcases with the pull-out handle and don’t even look to see if anyone’s behind them. There are announcements on the tube about taking rucksacks off but nothing about those ever.

Aww people, why the hate for cyclists??? We are not causing traffic, we are part of the traffic, just as drivers are.
The Highway Code entitles cyclists to ride two abreast, which is actually safer than cycling single file.
We’re keeping fit and healthy in a non- polluting way. Live and let live please!

Recycling stuff left on the side instead of in the recycling bag - oh it's full is it? How about you empty it then?!

People on trains who spray perfume.

Smokers who get in the lift with me.

Trying to show someone a picture on your phone and they insist on taking the phone off of you, and then having a scroll through your pictures...

The Highway Code entitles cyclists to ride two abreast, which is actually safer than cycling single file.

Not quite; it actually says "never ride more than two abreast, and ride in single file on narrow or busy roads and when riding round bends".

People who get uptight about how city names are pronounced

People who pull into a petrol station then stop 1m from the entrance to wait for a pump. Just pick one and stop blocking the whole entrance!

I'd also get annoyed about the complete morons who apparently don't understand that the hose will reach to the far side of your car (even when there are people doing that very thing in front of them). But I don't because it means I can go and fill up and be gone before you 've even undone your seatbelt, you absolute noggin.

People who ask me a question but then argue with my answer. If you know better or don't trust me, then don't bloomin ask me!!

I get quite ridiculously cross about drivers who ignore the four warning signs that their lane is about to end and merge into the next lane, so drive at high speed to the very last cm of their lane then expect to force their way in instantly.
The M11 as it comes into London - there's ALWAYS a queue thanks to fuckwits doing this and thereby slowing down every other lane.

I get even crosser about BMWs and Audis car drivers who sail past a queue in the slip road/inside lane leading to slip road, then push in as the roads actually diverge (A12 exit from M11, perfect example). I will roll forward every possible inch to stop the fuckers.

People who don't indicate especially on roundabouts. Where I live I have to cross one near an exit and the road is a dual road so drop Vera can be using the outside or inside lane and still be coming off at my road. Now due to traffic 90% of traffic is coming from the exit that is strictly speaking straight on (although it's not due to layout of the road and size of roundabout so you actually can't see them until the round the corner) so don't need to indicate for my exit - however they should have been indicating right if they were going off at the next exit as many are as that's for the town centre..... it's such a busy road and difficult to cross and it's so bloody annoying to miss so many safe chances to cross because drivers can't be arsed to let people know where they are going (or in my case not going!)

Also people parking over the line between two spaces - why is their shit car entitled to two spaces? Grr

Most of the above!

Also, my DM who will say ‘did you see Xs Facebook?’ I say yes then she proceeds to tell me what it said😡

A friend at work does something similar to your number 1 OP. We have an instant messaging thing at work. If I message her I don’t expect and immediate response (we are at work after all) and often don’t get one. If she messages me it’s “Hi” or “Alice?” and if I don’t immediatley reply she’ll say “are you there?” or “are you busy?”

Sometimes I make her wait on purpose!

I have pointed it out to her, that she seems to expect an immediate reply to any messages

With her might be symptomatic of wider issues though as I’m starting to think she’s the kind of person who gets in touch when she needs something!

You don’t generally switch up your accent to pronounce a city name though, so it will be correct the way Brits say ‘Chicago’. I don’t say ‘Paris’ like a French person would, when speaking in English, because i’d sound like a twat, not being French. I don’t say ‘New York’ the same as a born and bred New Yorker would say it, because, again, I’d sound like a twat.

So I’m still baffled as to why you don’t think ‘Chicago’ is being pronounced correctly

People who don't acknowledge you when you give way.

People (includes a friend of mine and I have to grit my teeth) who not even stealth boast but openly boast about how wonderful and talented / unique their dc. It is crass

People who drive too fast. It may be a NSL road but those blind bends are the reason that it is reckless to drive at 60mph

People who take up the entire pavement whilst walking 3 or 4 abreast with their family / friends

People who correct SPAG - you may able to spell and punctuate perfectly but this doesn't preclude you being a thick, ignorant idiot

People who make ageist remarks / assumptions - you prejudiced arses!

Phew, there is a lot of anger there and I am only just getting started

People who don't say Excuse Me but just stand there silently until you notice them and nice, and then get annoyed because you didn't notice them

I find that the only people who get annoyed at this are people who don't have enough spatial awareness to not stand in the middle of the fucking aisle/doorway etc.

I personally think saying "Excuse me" sounds rude if you say it immediately or don't give people a chance to notice you first. I prefer to stand by for a couple of seconds or slip past (ensuring no physical contact). People often don't bloody move even if you politely ask them to anyway....

I agree with pretty much everything else on this list though!

People who say "should/could of"

I move if people say say excuse me and I'm talking about when I'm standing looking at something and they're behind me being silent! I have the sense to not stop in doorways, because that annoys me too.

@MsOliphant I'm not from England.. I'm from Northern Ireland and there is no accent here where it sounds ok. It's pronounced with an aaah sound. Pronounced with a hard R here is the same as saying paree for Paris. It sounds stupid and grates on my nerves something shocking!!

Mothers who are more interested in their phones than their dc's ie pushing a buggy and texting at the same time/ not watching them in coffee shops.
Sniffers, get a tissue
Cyclists on the pavement.

People who stare at their phones when you are out with them. My sister is bad for this, leaves her phone on the table while eating so she can insta-respond to anything! Put it away!

The parking outside DCs' school. The double yellow lines are there for a sodding reason, and no, you can't just park on that wide bit of pavement as that makes it impossible for anyone with a pushchair to cross the road.

The school's text messaging. Why why why are there only ever 24hrs notice for anything?

last week, now was it Monday or Tuesday? It can't of been Monday because that's when I saw beryl but Tuesday was when we took the cat to the vet... maybe it was Wednesday..." it doesn't ducking matter which day, what happened?!!!? (Continues into random non event that happened to someone I have never met but she's the butcher's sister in law's cousin so obviously I'm going to give a shit.)

Oh god this is my 88 year old mother, is there a particular age that people start doing this? I've told my kids to tell me the truth the minute I start doing this 👵🏻
