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?

I'm a bit worried about how I pronounce sixth now. Not sure I know !

People who don't give way to faster swimmers in the pool. Does my head in.

Lane swimming only works if people wait at the end and let people overtake. I always let faster people overtake, and most people do if I am faster, but this morning there were two people who just didn't and it was causing a lot of annoyance!

The woman in the next door office to me, I can here her through the flimsy wall constantly clearing her throat and coughing, but mostly just clearing her throat. It seems like a nervous tick. God knows how those in there with her stand it.

People who say they had a Registry Office" marriage and not "Register Office" Registry Office was to do with registering servants in days of yore.

People who call it "advocado"

Ditherers, can't stand it. I am quite a fast paced person and most people go to slow for my liking!

People who stand next to the newspapers in the supermarket and read them cover to cover before putting them back on the pile. No intention of actually buying one.

Oh Gunpowder, I was chatting with my aunt I should know better, saying that I was going to bf DS2 until he was 2. She said "You are going to give him solids as well aren't you?" Yes, you moron, he's already on 3 meals a day.

cushion people do pinch stuff out of trolleys though. Our Sainsbury's is huge and I was most pissed off when someone pinched a book I was buying for DD. I had to walk to the other end of the store. It took 10 minutes. Now I protect my trolley with my life. 😉

Nettle I really can't say "sixth". Sorry.

Dog walkers who hang bags of shit in trees or just dump them where they fancy. There is no shit fairy who makes them disappear. Don't give me lies that they were going to pick up a random bag of shit on the way back because you won't.

The photo below was taken on a beautiful walk in Monmouthshire.

stegosaurus yes, and why do I have to download the school's stupid app to get texts? My memory's nearly full, so I'll have to buy a 2nd SD card.

I've just this minute almost trod on one in the middle of the pavement @TroysMammy

I cannot stand the way that lots of UK Beauty spots including country park walks, woods and beaches are simply ruined by the Entitled Dog Owner Brigade, not just the poo, but the racing round off lead aggravating other people, but of course "he's only being friendly"

I hate when I answer the phone and say "hello" then the person that has just rang me says "hello" and just sits there. It makes me want to scream! When I pick up the phone, you say why you're ringing me! Idiots!

People who don't mute the sound on their work laptops/computers so that everyone in the office then knows if they have a calendar notification or a new IM message.

Add to that anyone that narrates everything they do under their breath but just loud enough for others to hear so you always think they're speaking to you

People saying pacific instead of specific.Gives me the rage!

The person I know who is perfectly nice but talks in a whisper or giggles when you ask her a question. She’s an adult. Speak up so people can actually hear you

Noisy people. It's boring and I'm not interested really, but for the sake of a civilised work environment I MAY make the right noises in the right places, but won't always get it right.

Burger I'm not narrating, I'm prompting myself. Crap memory.

Attention seekers on Facebook- especially the ones who post something cryptic then tell people who ask if you're ok hun to PM them

I did have to laugh recently. Old school friend posted a cryptic post, refused to say what it was about. Later that day she did a big reveal and it was about an event she was going to and attached a Just giving style link to it. She wanted people to donate to send her on this "once in a lifetime" trip. 2k she needed, currently it's standing at £17

God, sorry but I’m also baffled by the Chicago thing. It’s like Bath all over again. I say bath to rhyme with fast and path and last, with an r sound. Aaaargh.

I think everyone says bath to rhyme with laugh and path etc but there is a difference on how people say those words!

People who don't say thank you when you hold open doors.

People who decide to 'pop in'. No I don't want a visit from you. Fuck off!

People who allow their children to run around supermarkets or cafes.

People who say 'Cheer up! It might never happen.

The woman in M&S who was front of me at the checkout who had forgotten a giftcard. No problem, only instead of quickly grabbing one she took over five minutes to browse through them knowing there was a considerable queue that she was holding up.

People who ask where I live and when I tell them ask if I rent or own and which side of the road I live on (one side is more expensive than the other). So bloody nosey and pompous!

People asking me if I want a tea or coffee every second of the day breaking my concentration. Nice people, but they know I always say no.
