Little Things About Yourself That Annoy You

I come into the house still wearing my prescription sunglasses & realise that I have left my ordinary glasses in the car nearly every time. Drives me crackers! Particularly annoying as our parking is a little walk away from the house. I always aim to put my car keys in the exact same place so I can easily find them but hardly ever do & have to hunt for them. I nearly always let a cup of tea go cold. I shout at DD way too often, despite vowing to walk away & not let her push my buttons.

I leave my reading glasses on and then go to the shops at lunch. Can't see a bloody thing (can't wear varifocals or contacts).

BlueJava · 13/02/2020 17:53

I still bite my nails!

AnyFucker · 13/02/2020 17:57

I am incapable of having a good nights sleep

MurrayTheMonk · 13/02/2020 18:00

Same as anyfucker... although it's becoming not such a little thing now-after only an hour sleep last night I crashed my car into a gate post this morning... I'm now too tired to judge distance correctly it seems.

The second thing is my terrible procrastination. I never used to do this-I don't know where it's come from-but it can feck off back there...I waste HOURS of my life!!

I can't seem to stop eating biscuits. Every week I say to myself that I'll eat better this week and then just don't. I'll be even more annoyed when I go on holiday and feel fat!

SuperMeerkat · 13/02/2020 21:06

I nearly always wake up at around 4.30am for a wee and then can’t get back to sleep. Alarm is at 6 so very annoying.

thesurreyyouth · 13/02/2020 21:08

I have no confidence in myself.

Chocolateandchats · 13/02/2020 21:10

I ALWAYS loose my keys. It doesn’t matter how many hooks or safe places I put them in they will be in a pile of shit (bills/kid crap/appointments), in a draw, in my husbands pocket or any other ridiculous place. I drive myself nuts.

FizzyPink · 13/02/2020 21:14

Oh god same as lyingwanker. I eat so so healthily in an effort to lose weight and then the office biscuit tin beckons me in. I must eat at least 6 a day I think 🙈

SpottyShoeBow · 13/02/2020 21:16

That I find it impossible to let go of the need to have people like me. It's a desperation and people can sense it which I am sure makes them dislike me further. Vicious cycle.

Whatelsecouldibecalled · 13/02/2020 21:16

I am incapable of working out/thinking about/planning for how long it takes to get to places so get rushed easily and it drives me mad! Should know better but I still think it takes 10 minutes to get to somewhere 30 minutes away

Dutchesss · 13/02/2020 21:19

I'm always running late. If I end up being early I'll waste the time faffing about with something.

Alidalivali · 13/02/2020 21:19

Utterly unable to lose weight. I have good intentions and I know exactly how to eat to lose, but it's as though another version of me goes out and buys stacks of my favourite chocolate, stows it away in multiple hiding places then grazes on it. All day if possible, otherwise whenever I get a chance. It started in childhood and I can't get rid of it. I drive myself mad and watch myself from a distance with disgust. Fat and pathetic.

trinklesminkle · 13/02/2020 21:21

My eyebrows don't match.

The one on the left is perfect but the one on the right is thinner and the hair has stopped growing from years of getting them waxed so I can't even grow it out to match the left one, and I don't want to pluck the nice one to match the ugly one Cos I don't like it so I walk around with odd eyebrows.

skidley · 13/02/2020 21:22

My gut drives me bananas. It makes weird sounds and usually waits until I'm somewhere quiet but with lots of people for it to rumble really really loudly. Think doctors waiting room, job interviews, meetings etc. Sometimes it sounds like farts and it's really not. It's now 99% anxiety related as I worry it's going to happen and then does. Never happens on the subway or at a concert. Just when it's very quiet and peopled. Very annoying.

ironicname · 13/02/2020 21:24

I am lazy. I don't want to be, I try to hide it, but I am a lazy sod.

SkinnywannabeKBH · 13/02/2020 21:24

That I'm unable to have a tidy organised house. I have pages and pages on my Pinterest on how to arrange playrooms and bedrooms so they are organised and nice looking... I have ideas coming out of my ears and dream of having a lovely tidy organised house and I just can't seem to do it. I'll start and then the mess to create the dream gets too much that I sit in tears and throw it all back in a room again. It drives me mad.

Novembernickname · 13/02/2020 21:25

I worry alot and dwell on stuff, it drives me nuts. Wish I could be more relaxed about things

JustAnouk · 13/02/2020 21:26

I talk too much at times/a lot of the time. I hate it. I find it so hard not to 🤦‍♀️

EngagedAgain · 13/02/2020 21:29

Another bad sleeper here. Also procrastinating. Yy to uneven eyebrows. Been tempted many times to shave straight over them with one of those little shaver things.

SugarMiceInTheRain · 13/02/2020 21:30

I'm untidy. I try, but it's such hard work, doesn't come naturally and just takes too much time.
My people pleasing tendencies.
I'm too restless. I wish I could just be more content. DH is so content with life whereas I am just desperate for change and adventure. (Mid life crisis looming perhaps?!)

PorridgeAgainAbney · 13/02/2020 21:32

I'm annoyed that I am allergic to cats...but we have had 1 or 2 cats with us almost constantly for the last 15 years. The allergy always settles down after I get used to a new cat, but it means that every morning I still start the day with a snotty nose. I kind of forget how ridiculous I am until I go on holiday and realise I haven't blown my nose for a whole week. Hmm

cushioncovers · 13/02/2020 21:32

My attention span is getting progressively worse.
I'm overweight and always manage to loose about a stone then get bored and end up putting it all back on.
I procrastinate.

Eckhart · 13/02/2020 21:33

Having to have about 47 tries to get out of the house. Get to the door and realise I've forgotten something, go back and get it, get to the front door, realise I've forgotten something else, go back... EVERY FECKING TIME.

EthelMayFergus · 13/02/2020 21:34

I'm clumsy. With myself, not material objects. I can't cook without burning myself, can't rearrange cupboards without dropping something on my foot etc. Every morning I vow to be more careful with myself, by mid morning I've 'ouched' several times. Drives me mad.
