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 HATE websites that ask you for your DOB or email or something and until you’ve finished are still telling you it’s wrong.

It’s not wrong, I’m not bloody finished yet!

When DH exclaims loudly at something he’s looking at on his phone. Then he does it again. And again. Until I crack and ask him if he wants to tell me what is so awe inspiring. Invariably it’s that someone I’ve never heard of has died.

Anyway, I had to write that before I got to the end of the thread so prob loads of people have the same irritations! I’ll go back and read now.

People saying/writing ‘mash’ potato instead of ‘mashed’, ‘mince’ beef for ‘minced’, ‘pack’ lunch instead of ‘packed’.

Grrrr!

And Selfridges website with the stupid giant photos. My time is precious, don't force me to scroll more than I need to.

MondayYoghurt Totally agree about websites with giant photos and mood shots. Get to the point, show me the goods and don't waste my time. European websites are often guilty of this.

I don't think this one has been done (havent RTFT) but when people announce their new "edition" on Facebook and post a photo of their newborn. It's the new addition, not the new edition FFS! So minor, but winds me up every single time!

People who talk really quietly.

STOP SPEAKING LIKE A MOUSE FFS!!

blueshoes - glad I'm not alone grrr. And don't get me started on websites that have a max of 16 products per page...and 76 pages.

Dear UX designers, Show Me All exists for a reason!

@GellerYeller My neighbours do this; I'm sure they think I spend all my time sitting in the hallway!

People that say you don't mind if I
( at home ) fill you bin with my crap because I can not be arsed sorting the recycling out, so mine is full ,
park my car in front of your house because yours is not there this second,
put your postal address down instead of mine because you are at home more than me .
(at work)
Borrow never to return your stapler, ruler, hole puncher, .
Send you a huge email thread (because I cant be arsed writing the tiny bit of info you need to know )
Making you stay late because I did not do something I was meant to do two weeks ago.

YES I DO FUCKING MIND , NOW SOD OFF !

I am so enjoying being among my people! Pages of petty annoyances and I am only halfway through reading the thread.

People writing 'rest bite' instead of 'respite'.

PPs have mentioned ‘que’ used instead of ‘queue’, but I also see it used instead of ‘cue’ (as in ‘I had just hung out the washing, so of course cue a hailstorm’) and it drives me bonkers!

‘Draws’ for ‘drawers’

‘Could of’ instead of ‘could have’

People casually abandoning their used crockery on the worktop above the dishwasher, instead of taking the single extra second it would have taken to actually put it into the poxy dishwasher!
People leaving a tissue in the pocket of washing that has been put into the laundry basket and thus will get into and RUIN the wash, despite being asked four billion times to check all pockets before putting anything into the basket!!
(These last two - DH, I’m looking at you, you git.)

An open drawer, it gives me an unbelievable terrible rage... whenever me & my partner had a row I would come home to all the chest of drawers in our front room open (8) he used to find it hilarious!

Pull tabs on new milk bottles. They just give me the rage and I don't know why!

People who say/write "I'm crazy/mad/bonkers" etc. They are generally not.

Overstacking shelves in kitchen cupboards so that I have to empty half the cupboard to get the sodding thing out I was looking for.

People who profess to do an amazing job etc etc but then don't deliver the bare basics. Pleeease just do what you were paid to do in an unfucked up way.

People (usually women) trying to be coy/sexy etc who just end up making everyone around them cringe. Ditto for people with no filter.

People who can't admit they've made a mistake.

Oh. and virtue signalling posts.

Expresso instead of espresso

When typing my surname into an online form and being told on submission that it is "illegal", "unlawful" or "not permitted" just because it has an apostrophe and a hyphen in it, thus forcing me to spell my own name wrong to continue.

My friend who is usually quite intelligent and interesting will always whenever someone famous dies do an "RIP (name)" post on FB followed by a sad face emoji.

Trying to type the ô or ê accent on a French keyboard. Bloody impossible.

Every morning DH will do a stupid whistle song to the dog to get him ready for a walk. Every. Bloody. Morning. Dog doesn't need this and waits to get ready for walk perfectly fine without it.

Chester draws
Should of
"I pacifically told you"
Rest bite
Apostrophes in the wrong place, especially when done by teachers

😡😡😡

The increased use of the term I am wanting.

I want is quicker to write.

I am wanting a grey wall in my living room.
I am wanting a cake for a birthday party.
I am wanting to go on holiday.

So much wanting.

"New and improved". No. You have either improved whatever it is, or you made a new version.

People who say/write ‘go a walk’ or ‘go gym’ instead of for a walk or to the gym. It’s become more common and I don’t understand how or why!
People who refer to things with mummy/mummies as an adjective for example ‘mummy juice’ for breast milk or ‘mummy chat’ for talking to their friends.

When you browse Ebay and a seller has posted a dozen pics of their item that are all virtually the same .....what's the point?? . I don't want 12 close ups of the front....one will do! Let's see the back, side view, frills and fancy buttons!! Drives me mad!!!

People who write discrete instead of discreet...

People who shop in Asdas or Mataland.

People who use 'z' instead of an a. Beanz, Kidz, etc.

Grown ups using comic sans on anything - I will judge you (I did see it in an actual comic and have accepted that it's acceptable there).

Using a Greek letter sigma Σ as an E to make it look all scientific or intelligent. There was a particular calculator called Albert. Σ is pronounced as an S, and there is a Greek ε that could be used. Bastards.

Comedians who always look particularly pleased with themselves.

Strike through on MN. I find it is normally used to show sarcasm. If you are going to say something nasty just fucking own it.
