What behaviour from strangers that is not affecting you in any way really gets on your nerves?

[NancyJoan]

For me, it’s people who keep their coat on when they sit down in a restaurant. We went out for lunch today, two women in ENORMOUS coats at the table next to us, kept them on until partway through their meal.

Disclaimer: I know it’s none of my business, I’m lucky I have nothing bigger to worry about and they might just (both) really feel the cold.

People eating in a way that I can hear.

People sniffing.

People making repetitive movements, even more so if it jiggles my seat too.

People walking slowly.

People smoking, I have a weird aversion to seeing cigarettes, I can't even look at pictures of them.

Teenagers when I can hear them.

Any sudden loud noise, I get a physical reaction from this like my stomach twists and I fill with rage.

I am not a very tolerant person 🙈

Agree with people pressing buttons when they've already been pressed, for example on buses, at crossings, lifts etc.

Actually, people pressing the button at a crossing when, because of the way the lights work, the green man will show up soon anyway whether or not you press the button. This goes for pressing the button to open the doors on the tube; they open anyway!

People who leave out the preposition and article in sentences, e.g. "I'm going shop".

Flossing. By anyone, anywhere.

The man who walks the same school route as me twice every day who snorts his phelgm down and spits it back up. Actually that doesn't count because it does affect me as have to avoid his splatter all over the pavement. Luckily there are two paths split with grass between so I always walk on the other one where I can to avoid being near him

Oh my sister has just put a pic on Facebook that reminds me of another one. People who wear jeans at home when lazing around. She's in her jeans and slippers . It used to make me feel on edge when my ex done this I hate wearing jeans I haven't been able to wear them since my first pregnancy 7 years ago they are so uncomfortable. I can't think of anything more uncomfortable than lying on the couch with a pair of jeans on.

As well as all the usual annoying noises. Sniffing, coughing, breathing, chewing, nail biting etc. I think I may be the one with the issue tbh

Mine are all based around commuting. Side-queueing makes me furious, bloody well get behind me, not hover alongside me threatening to push in at any moment, grrr. Also man-spreading and anyone who puts their feet on the seat on public transport.

Men, ALWAYS men, pushing pushchairs with just one hand while kind of walking beside it rather than behind it - Why!?!? Looks really awkward and I have to really resist the urge to ask them if they're aware they look like bell ends 🤦‍♀️

If you hate can I get what do you make the of the next again day ( day after tomorrow). Only ever heard it where I live now!

There was a bloke in a pub we were at the other night (just for our tea before the Cinema). He had those shoes that had those ‘clikcky’ things in the heels so when he walked they made that ridiculous noise. He was up and down to the bar several times and each time I could hear his shoes.
My mother hated people wearing coats in restaurants too@!!

Performance parenting mummies (I’ve never seen a bloke do this) who teach their 4 year old how to use the ATM/pay in the supermarket. Gives me the fucking rage, particularly when there are people waiting behind. ‘Alright, darling, then you press the secret number....’ I’m actually going to be on the local news one night for stabbing one of these idiots.

Blokes who wear their jeans below their arse. This still occurs in my area. Why? They look like TWATS!

People who carry their dog s*it in a bag swinging it side to side like its something to be proud of! Just carry it it doesnt need swinging!

People who dont say thanks when you hold a door / let them through etc .

Leggins with no long top covering the bum! Especially when see through!

People who blatantly read my newspaper when I'm on the tube. Has absolutely zero effect on my, but it gives me the rage anyway. Get your own freaking paper people!

People who put their feet up on the seats opposite them on trains and buses.

Spitting in the street

Couples in the supermarket who stand at each end of the trolley whilst browsing and blocking off half the aisle so nobody else can get near.

Passengers getting on the bus who only start rummaging for their purse/wallet when the driver has told them how much their journey will pass.

Pensioners who stop the bus at 9.25am to ask 'is it too early?' Yes it is. Get a more accurate watch!

People who talk in cinemas or theatres when the film/ show is on, twice I have been ‘ that person’ who told them to shut the fuck up, once to a round of applause from the other cinema goers.
I am normally very non confrontational but it drives me nuts

I'm currently sitting on the sofa in jeans.

Mine is drunk people. I just can't bear to be around them. Them being drunk doesn't affect me but it puts me on edge.

It's mainly only IPhone users but people who say "I have a call on my iPhone" or "I was looking for holidays on my iphone" it's even worse if they add which model. This can also be extended to people stating the make of any other item they own when it has no relevance to the story. It just comes across as bragging.

People who cycle on a narrow road holding up the traffic right NEXT to the special off road cycle lane

People who cycle on a narrow road holding up the traffic right NEXT to the special off road cycle lane

I do this. If I need to turn right, or if someone has covered the cycle lane with broken glass.

When somebody announces their pregnancy on Facebook and people who already knew the big secret comment “finally the cats out the bag” yes well done you knew before everybody else

I’ve just realised the phrase “gives me the rage” is another example

**ShatnersBalloonFromPennywise

People who go in a coffee shop, then mock the fact that there are several options available. It's usually men, doing a 'I'm just a simple fella' routine for all to roll their eyes at hear. "Just a black coffee, that's all I want! Why can't you just call it a black coffee?!**

Oh my God, ^this ^

And it’s so apparent that they are going to launch into this tedious routine ages before they actually trot it out. So. Bloody. Dull.

Chewing gum: the chemical smell, the noise, the bovine chewing. I have moved train seats to get away from it.

-people who are saying goodbye/finishing talking to someone in a crowded area, then start to walk backwards not looking and nearly crash into someone. Turn around before you start walking!

• The main street on the way to school is a very narrow footpath, it gets crowded on the school run, luckily everyone that lives up our way is pretty good at letting faster walkers/adult commuters etc through by moving to the side and letting them pass. However, in some parts there is a hill on one side and the road on the other, meaning if you need to let someone past you have to go onto the gutter/road. There used to be an annoying child who insisted on scootering crazily down (some bits on a hill) bellowing 'excuse me! excuse me!' expecting everyone to quickly jump out of the way. One day, I was walking to school with my push chair and 2 young DC, we were walking on the bit next to the hill where there was nowhere else to move to - sure enough this kid comes behind bellowing 'excuse me!' nearly crashing into me. I was sleep deprived and grumpy told him under no uncertain terms I was not moving my pram onto the road and he needed to get past he was to get off his scooter and walk around me. He was not happy and his mum gave me a dirty look. Tough.
• Opening up facebook and seeing same meme posted by about 5 different people. Worse, when I go onto the local mums page, a meme posted to that page by several different people. (Yes, I know everyone has belly rolls when they lean over I don't need to be told that several times).
• The f--king 80's revival. Lasted longer than the actual decade. Stupid 80-'s parties where they play music from 1985 - 1988 and wear perms and fluro slouch socks. Newsflash - There were 5 years worth of music before then, and different fashions. 80's music wasn't just bloody cheesy pop and hair metal.

And breathe.

People who get on the fast train in the wrong place
If you are going to Liverpool Street you get on at the front
If you are going to Seven sisters you get on in the middle
Don’t get on in the middle and then just stand in the way whilst the entire 2 carriages are getting off
Or fight for a seat in the first carriage , climbing over people who are already sitting down if you are getting off 8 minutes later and everyone standing in the fucking aisle has to move for you
Just get on at the right place

Also people with wheels suitcases at rush hour who merrily drag them behind tripping up anyone who is trying to get to the tube
People who stop dead at the top of the escalator at Holborn station...where do you think the people behind you are going to go?

People even talking about Facebook gives me the rage and all the nonsense about communicating via text or through FB or via whatsapp or whatever else people use; what is wrong with an old fashioned phone call (not mobile ?)

All the endless angst about people misunderstanding texts, not replying within a milisecond or taking offence .... why not talk to someone?

No, it doesn't affect me because I don't use FB, whatsapp etc but it still irritates me.

TantrumsAndBalloons
That sounds stressful. How does one have a correct place to get on a train? never lived or commuted to London other than odd courses and now worry I've been one of those people
