Really, really, really petty things that annoy you

[BuzzShitbagBobbly]

(and which have zero impact on your life!)

My list includes:

• Companies which have the owner's initials as the business name. I have no problem at all with (say) "Clare King Picture Framers", but "CK Picture Framers" winds the shit out of me.

• Similarly, businesses which merge two names to create one made up word as the name. For example, Clare goes into business with Jenny and they call it "Clajen Picture Framers" Grrrrr!

• People who use lame examples as brilliant suggestions. E.g. say someone (not me, I assure you!) wanted to organise a really original/unusual theme for a party. The Lamer would say "how about tarts and vicars". Nasty AND boring!

I'm sure I have a million more...

I have a list as long as your arm....(and legs)

1. Curtains not being opened in the morning
2. Cups/plates being left NEXT to the dishwasher.
3. Socks on the washing line not hung in pairs
4. Cushions on the sofa not being arranged properly once you’ve sat/laid/moved them
5. Stuff being chucked next to the washing machine/laundry basket instead of being put in it
6. People who stand in shipping aisles blocking them whilst having a long conversation
7. People that swallow loudly when they drink
8. People that leave one cracker/biscuit/tiny bit of juice etc just so they don’t have to dispose of the packaging themselves
9. Toothpaste slob left in the bathroom sink

10. Wet towels left on the floor

Ahhh that’s better!
Yes I am petty/picky. I have OCD though so unfortunately it won’t change anytime soon!

Oh dear ....at the moment a great deal of petty stuff gets me wound up....
The lady in the post office when I hand her my parcel and say " first class please, soft toy, no battery" and she replies "would you like that sent 1st or 2nd class?" followed by "and what's inside it please?"
I have had to drive an extra 2 miles to another post office as it happens Every. Single. Time.

Do you remember Bejam?...The name is an acronym for the first names of the directors, Brian, Eric, John And Millie.

WHAT?!

Plus children riding bikes on the pavement and most of the stuff above too.

I don't think the menopause is having a great effect on me

People who shorten everything. I have a lovely friend but she does this constantly. So she says things like " I went to Sainsbo this weekend. They had the most adorb fathers day cards" Aaarggh

Youtube influencers in their 20s and 30s swearing by the face exercises they do to keep themselves looking young.

Why is reboiling grim? Just out of curiosity--I'm prepared to be educated!

The lady in the post office when I hand her my parcel and say " first class please, soft toy, no battery" and she replies "would you like that sent 1st or 2nd class?" confused followed by "and what's inside it please?"

This gets me so angry I will now flatly refuse to say anything other than something arsey like "second class as I asked please, I confirm it is a permitted item". I loathe with the fury of a thousand suns the sneaky but blatant upselling in the PO when they ask these questions.

When my DH leaves the toilet seat up, I just get instantly irritated and slam it down
When people pronounce safety with 3 syllables safe-a-ty ....I just feel like roaring at them
Other then that I’m a calm rational person

Having to order extra large when I'm a size 10 because Chinese sizes are smaller.

In my Official Science By Buzz Teacher Mode , because it makes the water all manky tasting. It just seems horrible, like the liquid equivalent of getting in a still-warm bed.

And it was also totally unnecessary when only about 5 seconds had passed!

When someone says 'May I suggest . . ' because they think they're being clever and diplomatic and you won't notice that not only are they telling you what to do but also implying you're not as clever as they are.

Me and my brother work with my dad and we were laughing about this the other day... incredibly pretty!

Whenever I accidentally burn some food like a piece of toast, the smell obviously spreads through the warehouse. I am in the kitchen with burnt toast, I have dealt with burnt toast. 10 mins later my dad will shout 'something is burning!' In a really half assed tone. It infuriates me lol I dont know why it bothers me so much

When tube drivers or station staff call Bank ‘The Bank’. There’s no ‘The’...

Especially when it’s the platform announcer at my local station and it joins the other over emphasised words when announcing trains..

‘This is YOUR northbound train TO Edgware via THE Bank...’.

I don’t miss this part of my commute..!

When someone says 'go on, guess my age' and they don't realise that the age you give is at least 5 years younger than you really think they look because you don't want to offend them.

When you're walking on the pavement approaching a group who have stopped to faff about, you're just about to overtake them and they can clearly see that but then they suddenly start walking forwards too at the same pace, resulting in you haing to either slow down to walk behind them or run to overtake

When I kindly give way to another driver (i.e. hazard is on their side) and they don't acknowledge it. No nod, wave, raise of the hand. Nothing. Gives me the rage.

"My bad"

DP nearly but not quite closes kitchen cupboards and doors. How hard can it be.

Local virtue signallers on FB.

Like the woman who thanked the emergency services (on local buy and sell page!) for attending the very serious accident she witnessed and was “glad to be able to help them out”.

Or the woman who took numerous photos of herself cutting some nettles from around a dog poo bin so it was “now visible”. Yes the bright fucking red bin that is a metre above the ground is just as visible as it was before you trimmed the nettles underneath it. Same woman also filmed herself collecting litter on her walk. All posted to local buy and sell pages.

And don’t get me started on the “we’re the best clappers with our saucepans and bunting and car horns” shite.

‘Atha-letics’, ‘Thea-saurus’ and ‘Pneu-monics’ said by teachers who should know better

For some reason, my feet seem to be magnetically attracted to any cable on the floor. Phones, laptops, tablets - anything. I can even deliberately try and step over it but I will always, ALWAYS, hook it and then yank it out of whatever device it was attached to.

I will also mention here: "Catching sleeves/pockets on door/drawer handles". ENRAGING!

When I ask someone a question or they are telling me something and they say 'well basically' at the start of the sentence, just fuck the fuck off! If it was basic I wouldn't have fucking asked! It's not basic to me you condescending twat

@beelola That is actually so irritating oh my god 😂

People whose gardens, windows and sills, front doors, pathways and gates always look immaculate though you never, ever see anyone cleaning, weeding or working outside.

• Similarly, businesses which merge two names to create one made up word as the name. For example, Clare goes into business with Jenny and they call it "Clajen Picture Framers"

Haha - the worst business name ever!

Dh's stealth explosive sneezes fill me with rage. They literally come from nowhere ->> 100 decibels. The worst one recently came during Killing Eve at a particularly

The voice that talks at top speed at the end of a washing liquid/powder ad to tell you they're dangerous to children.
