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?

Noisy eaters. I've always hated it!

Now this is going to make me sound REALLY BAD, but since DH had radiotherapy on his neck for thyroid cancer, his swallowing has got even louder and it makes me feel sick. I don't say anything, but eating together is now rather a trial.
I'm a horrible person to even admit this!

@Notso
I'd just ignore the shouts, and wait for them to come to me. If it's that urgent, they'll find me. If it's not urgent they can wait.
My DH has a tendency to talk to me when I'm 2 rooms away and can't hear him properly. I just ignore him.

Everyone leaving dirty dishes on the side above the dishwasher instead of putting them in!

Dog shit. Just dog shit.

Also dramatic items of the house.
So if I put a cup in the dishwasher next to some lined up glasses and all the glasses dramatically throw themselves upside down, rolling along the tray noisily and annoyingly even though I’ve not touched them. Stupid bastards.
2nd toothbrush in the holder today threw itself diva style up, did several Olympic style Tom whathisface spins in the air and landed on the bathroom floor...just because I took the toothpaste out of the pot at the same time.
Fuck if you wanker toothbrush, it’s not all about you you know..

Oh yeah @sueelleker I wait for them to find me but I still have to endure the endless bellowing as they wander from room to room searching for me.

My neighbour who has been playing classical music from 8am to 10 fucking pm everyday for the last two weeks.

No matter where I am in the house I can hear it. I'm normally not against classical but I'm sick of hearing it now.

I love this. WHY do they have to be SO dramatic?? I had a dramatic lemon lemming itself off the shelf for no reason whatsoever the other day. Nobody had been anywhere near it for hours. It nearly hit the dog.

@QuestionableMouse Have you tried mynoise.net? I'm in a similar situation and I swear this app has saved my life, and that of my noisy neighbour, who talks loudly ALL DAY and snores deafeningly ALL NIGHT.

My NDN screaming all day

Flies. I ate dinner in the garden this evening and every thirty seconds I was flailing my arms madly and muttering "piss off... piss off..." under my breath because the little shits wanted to contaminate everything I touched. If the neighbours saw or heard me, they probably think I've lost it. But seriously, what IS the point of flies? Bees, I get them, but flies...?

And the government. But don't get me started.

@Eckhart

Must admit I lost it this afternoon and had an hour blasting 60s pop 😂😂😂

Thanks for that. I hare a background noise app on my phone but will check that out too!

Yeah, flies. As if they're not bad enough on their own, if we get one indoors the dog chases it. It can go on for hours, she hurls herself through the air into things (she doesn't really look where she's going), crash lands, and legs it randomly all over the place.

She never, ever catches one.

@crosser62
My glasses behave themselves until I've started the wash-all upside down at the start, then when I open the door they're the right way up and full of water!

House flies. Hate them solo much. Even the dog is bored of killing them.

Sink full of crusty toothpaste 🙄

Me being the only human in the house who can find anything.

Yes, yes, yes to dog shit - or rather, DH attitude to it.... every time he encounters some in the garden he treads in it (even if the only turd in entire garden) then comes in ranting about 'fucking dog shit everywhere' and accuses me of not lifting it often enough - he never, ever lifts it and despite ddog being v much his best mate, rolls out the same old line "you're the one who wanted a dog".....

Those REALLY loud motorbike/scooter things. I'm not talking your averagely noisy motorbike that go very fast, these are scooter things that sound like the exhaust is broken. Except it's not as they all sound like that.

Seriously annoying and seriously should be banned, for, I dunno, noise pollution or just irritation factor or something. Completely unnecessary.

I am blissfully happy since the flat mate from hell moved out. The only annoyance is the other male sharer - I have had to put up a note asking for the seat to be put down after use.

Apart from that it is fine! Mind you we are awaiting two more flat mates...Please no, it can't happen again can it??!!

Childcare centres named Kidzcare or Uptown Kidz or KidzrUs or variations on that theme. If you can't spell kids you are NOT teaching my preschooler.

And drawers and cupboards left open.

People tapping their foot or drumming their fingers on their leg...such a tiny thing but it infuriates me! I don't even have to be able to hear it, just seeing someone's leg bouncing is enough.

Me being the only human in the house who can find anything.

Bluewave that drives me up the wall too. I call myself the human ferret.

Bearsoright you reminded me how I dislike people humming to themselves. It unduly intrudes into my thoughts that gormless non-tune.

People I've never met but are friends with friends, but when I've met them, being over familiar.

My husband.

I love him, but these days I leave rooms to avoid him. He bears the brunt of my lockdown frustration.
