Tell me about things that really irritate you

[MrsL1123]

I have quite a few.so I'll say a couple here to start this off

1. When my husband "cleans" hoovers and mops the floor but then doesn't put everything back once it's dry (chairs on tables, moving bins or baskets) and I've to go behind him putting everything back in its place

1. Loud chewers and slurpers- makes me feel sick

1. When people make my tea and it's like dirty dishwater

1. When the kids and my husband put their dirty washing in the laundry basket and don't separate it into the correct baskets (colours, darks and whites)

I could go on and on all night, I'm aware these are pretty trivial things but they do really bug me, what's yours?

DH channel hopping while the adverts are on and then missing the programme starting again.

The cat chucking cat litter out of the litter tray.

People in the house not being able to hear the washing machine has finished alarm.

My washing machine alarm must also be silent cos I'm the only one who ever empties it 🙄😂

Yes it must be the frequency meaning only I can hear it.

Boys in my house weeing everywhere but in the loo
That's sent me into rage today

The dog when she's being needy when I'm trying to work from home. She sits next to me on the sofa and has to have her paw touching me, if I ignore her for longer than 5 seconds she hurls herself on her back and presents me with her belly. If I stop stroking her, she'll tap me with her paw. I don't work from the sofa very often now

The guy at the back of ours with the loudest voice ever, more noticeable as we have windows and doors open in the good weather

People staring into our front room when they are walking past, not glancing, full on staring

I'm thankful they're being emptied at all but the binmen have starting leaving the bins at the end of the road, a few neighbour's bins have gone missing since

Toothpaste spots on the bathroom mirror, yes DP, I'm looking at you

There were paragraphs on my phone

When my kids or DH for that matter, shout for me or each other.
I hate it. You want to speak to someone, go and find them and speak to them at a reasonable volume instead of bellowing and booming about the place.
They all have an uncanny knack of waiting until the precise moment my buttocks rest on the sofa/bed/loo/chair to shout for me too doubling the annoyance.

Water bottles.
I'm all for reducing plastic and having reusable ones.
Everyone want to drink more water, can't complain.
For some reason however despite them all being excellent at putting all other dishes in the dishwasher or washing them by hand, water bottles are exempt from this treatment.
Perhaps they feel they're not dirty because they only contain water, (but blergh backwash).
I don't know.
What I do know is that they either lurk around the house on random surfaces and sully my otherwise tidy home or gather hopefully next to the sink.
I lovingly soak them and put them away and then everyone moans they can't find the bloody things.

People that drive too close to my bumper. I dont drive slow but I stick to the limits. And so should you.

Omg notso
I have exact same thing here with the water bottles it drives me mad! 😂
Find them everywhere and constantly nag about it 🙄

My DC actually say
"But they only have water in them, why do they need washed"
🤮🤮

DH

Not so, are you me? 😆😆

People who don’t bother to read the rules then complain they don’t understand them.

Chewing food for fucks sake it can't be hard not to make noises like a masticating cow. That might just be me though.

@MrsL1123
@Justgivemewine

Glad I'm not the only one. Although sorry you have the same irritations.

People who talk about the floor when they mean the ground.

Floor inside, ground outside.

I’m with those who hate the loud chewing, send my nerves on edge

People leaving toilet seats up, I can’t abide it
Teacup stains on table/kitchen counter (an absolute chore to get off white worktops)
Dishes in the sink after I’ve cleaned the kitchen for the night

1. When DP fills the dishwasher but doesn’t turn it on so I get up in the morning to everything still dirty.
2. My boss instant messaging me ‘how’s your day going?’ Makes me feel like he’s checking up on me
3. Our upstairs neighbour dropping his cigarette ends over his balcony and into our garden. I want to say something but he’s quite a big scary drug dealer so I’ve not been brave enough yet

Oh and DP turning on the shower 3 times a day when he goes to the toilet. We live in a tiny flat and he thinks this means I can’t hear the plop but I can and it just unnecessarily steams up the bathroom

People saying one thing in private then the other publicly. Have courage in your convictions!

Poor grammar, misuse of the reflexive pronoun and the increasing inability to use apostrophes correctly. Seeing other people's shittily written documents go out to clients is depressing. It looks unprofessional.
DH's inability to wipe the kitchen tops after washing up.
The dog keeps touching me while I work and it's getting a bit wearing! Has to lean on my leg in case I forget a biscuit or something!

Coughing. I can tolerate most noises but coughing really grates on my every nerve.

Another vote for a DH that doesn't put the dishwasher on. He'll often go as far as putting the tablet in, but then walks away and doesn't actually press start. Why!?

@Turnedouttoes my DP does this with the bathroom taps as well. I keep reminding him that all it does is draw my attention to the fact that he's gone for a poo and totally defeats the purpose.

@Notso oh yes. But why do they have to have water bottles. I ask mine this all the time. They use them over cups all the time. I hate them. They sit in the dishwasher funny as well. Just use a damn cup like the rest of the world.

Chewing - don’t get me started.

My husband cannot cut things on his plate with a knife and fork without putting massive pressure on them so he scrape the plate everytime most horrible sound ever.

Found out my husband is very messy when he is at home all the time. I don’t pick up after him but hate looking at it.

Why does my teenage son spend an hour in the loo. What the hell is he doing in there !

This and many other things but I’m now getting rage writing them down.

People that talk loudly in their garden.
Teabags in the sink.
Neighbours dog barking at 5am
Tailgaters
