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?

My dad tries to create catchphrases for himself. Over the summer he started exclaiming “Oh my days!” At the simplist mishap or incident. It drives me crazy.

People who just ignore you when you are trying to squeeze past them,despite the fact that you've politely said 'excuse me' three times. (This seems to be a fairly new phenomenon,I've only really noticed it in the past 10 years. Are people just becoming more ill mannered and/or more entitled?).
People who won't move a few inches to one side to allow for the fact that I am using a walking stick. I need to have it positioned to my side in order to use it properly. They expect me to hold it in front of me. What use is that as a walking aid? And then they knock it with their foot as they walk past.

Nosy people who don't really know me wanting to know where I live. I don't just mean what area,but the name of the road and my house number! I once had a bloke on a bus getting quite shirty with me over this. He had sat next to me and started making conversation. I had responded politely although I really wasn't in the mood for idle chit chat with a stranger. After a few minutes of innocuous chat,he said where do you live? I told him the area. Then he says what road? I said the road name. Then he said what number? I said 'Why are you asking me that?'. He said he's just interested. I said I'd rather not say. He said there's no need to be funny about it. I'm .

People who interrupt you all the time !

People who say 'If you know what I mean' at the end of a sentence.
Of course I know what you mean-I'm not thick !
Glares at dh...........

People who say 'boils my piss' stupid stupid stupid.🤬🤬

Gosh pedant super highway 😂

People who ask the same question over and over again because you are not giving them the answer they want.

Weathergirls who say 'temreture'. IT'S GOT A P IN IT! And why is it only the women who do it? Are they told that the 'p' sound will blow the sound equipment up or something?

Oh... smug fuckers who say “if you know, you know!” Or worse, have it as a #

Tell meeeeeeee.

People who don’t know how to use doors.
To get to my office from the main entrance, I have to go through many sets of doors. All double doors (some with security locks). Invariably I meet people coming the other way. Why oh why do they not use one door whilst I use the other. Oh no, they either wait whilst I go through the ONE OF TWO doors I’ve opened, which means I either have to rush or be polite and say ‘after you’. There is a perfectly good other door they could use and we would both get on our way. Fuckers.

People who use the word "like" incessantly and unnecessarily.

People who say "See you later" when you know full well they won't.

People who assume I'm going to like their dog. I won't, ever.

People who think their children are charming when actually they're just badly disciplined and annoying.

People who walk slowly on pavements looking at their phones.

People who give you a long, convoluted and boring account of their entire medical history when you've just said a cheery "How are you?" over the fence. The correct answer is "Fine, thank you." even if you're dying.

Oh yes, the ‘how are you?’ exploiters.

I am being polite. I do not wish to know about your boring fecking ailments. Who are these deluded people who think that you would like nothing more than to hear about their illnesses and operations? At great length, of course. Even when you start looking at your watch they continue obliviously, telling you all about the GP’s failure to diagnose their special and rare syndrome. Just feck off!!

Actually, I have been grumpy lately as a result of attending many parties and doing all the conversational heavy lifting. Not just listening to people banging on about their dull illnesses. I am good value socially but it becomes a little tiresome when you are listening to hours of unbroken ME ME ME and the people you are talking to never think to ask you a single question. No, you are simply the audience. Selfish, boring gits.

Either your stupid, or...

Oh the irony.

Just repeating this from my earlier post for good measure:

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

MissConduct that bizarre YouTube video proves you wrong.

Americans who insist we're spelling words wrongly MissConduct. 😉

A guy in my Zumba class, who keeps adding all this complicated twists and turns to the moves, and has no spatial awareness so is forever in others' ways. I want to shout at him ''STOP SHOWING OFF! JUST FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTOR!!' But instead I just throw dagger-like stares at him when he's in my (completely uncoordinated) way.

Oh and children who scooter indoors, alongside their parents who don't tell them not too. (Child in gym last night, I'm looking at you.) I could tolerate (just about) a small one, the one last night was about 9, and came hurtling round a corner at me, and wasn't happy when I calmly suggested he doesn't use it indoors.

Clearly I need to stop using the gym, it just gives me the rage.

Haven't read the whole thread, so this might have been mentioned already..

People who use an upward lilt when they finish a sentence!

I was watching Room 101 with Stephen Fry. This was one of his. He blamed the Australian soaps.

I try to listen to people on the TV or radio but once they do the upward lilt, I'm not taking in anything they are saying, I'm just waiting for the next one!

😏

@bakingdemon can't believe there is someone else my mum does this drives me bat shit :-)

People parking in double yellow lines isn't a trivial thing to get pissed off about

Mine are

People who pepper their comments with "ha ha". Online, it's "lol" unless you're my mum

People who add grrrrr to show they're mildly annoyed

People who post a bland, un exciting comment then say "rant over"

People who say or write "yum" or "yummy". Grow up

Finally, the posters who go on about rhotic vs non rhotic and can't understand why those of us who pronounce r get nonplussed about the inclusion of r everywhere

ps. Chicago. As it sounds

@MuffinMad - My DB and SIL have lived in Australia for 4 years now and it irritates the life out of me! They had have quite a strong broad northern accent (Lancashire) so that mixed with the upward lilt of EVERY BLINKING WORD at the end of a sentence.

FWIW the one thing that irritates me at the moment is the amount people who have no consideration for learner drivers. I get that it's frustrating being stuck behind one, but please, let me learn how to pull out of a junction safely without you being aggressive and rolling your eyes at me.

My DH is really annoying on texting sometimes. We’ll be waiting for big news and he’ll text. ‘Hi, just heard from the estate agent’ And nothing more. I’m going ‘and, ???, what did he say etc’ Infuriating 🤬

Oh and my step kids who interrupt constantly because their mother lets them get away with it at home. DH and I will be talking and they will literally talk over us until they get our attention. They have been told hundreds of times. Plus step daughter who rings up and with no greeting says ‘can you put my pocket money over’
