What are your really petty pet hates?

[AintNobodyHereButUsChickens]

It really annoys me when I'm walking behind someone and you can see flashes of white on the bottom of their shoes where they haven't peeled off the labels. That's the first thing I do when I buy a new pair of shoes, peel off the sole labels!

People that hiss their "S's" Hiss their Esses's? Sorry I have no idea how to write that, but you know what I mean. Matthew McCongaughey dose this. I mean is he in Slytherin and trying to speak parceltongue?

I'm tired.

Poo for shampoo. Awful.

Eggy Bread for French toast. Pots for potatoes.

People who put x at the end of texts or posts on Mumsnet.

Well you did say really petty.

People who touch all of the food on their plate and mix it up. I don’t want to look at a disgusting pile of mushed up food like pig slop. Food is supposed to be mixed in your mouth not on your plate! You only touch it when you’re about to eat it. You don’t butter a whole slice of bread - you break a bit off and butter that bit, then break off another bit and butter it. Apart from anything else it’s wasteful because once you’ve mushed it and touched it you can’t keep the rest to eat later if you happen to feel full.

Shopper in front of me at supermarket conveyer NOT putting the same stuff together ie two mars bars not side by side but chucked on anywhere .
Or oxfam putting their £2.99 sticker on top of the retail price of £1.99.
btw i betting Oxfam will be closing alot of their shops next year .

Shop assistants that say "for me" and "today", which is a newish bloody annoying way of speaking, or have I got old and grumpy and just noticed?
" Can you pop your card in for me? "
" Can you come to this till for me? "
"How can I help you today?"
"Did you find everything you were looking for today?"
FUCK OFF! !

Elf on the shelf shit.

Just people, really.

My brother. Simple as that, can't stand him. Probably not pretty in reality but it sounds petty considering our ages but I don't even like being in the same room as him.

I have no idea what "picky tea" is.

People who do not know the difference between they're, there and their ;

People who use "brought" to mean purchased;

Audible eating ;

This list could be interminable, so I'll stop there.

Two times instead of twice, I am constantly shouting 'twice' at the tv whenever someone says 'two times'

Ooh pots has reminded me. Spuds for potatoes really makes me grind me teeth. Also geegee's for horses. Sadly my very lovely grandma is the only perpetrator I know who does both of these.

A picky tea is a sort of picnic style meal, with sandwiches, sausage rolls, cucumber sticks and other stuff that's simple to just grab out of the fridge and chuck straight on a plate without much prep.

using 'OF' instead of 'HAVE' it's so annoying, I keep shouting HAVE in my head.
People who use "brought" to mean purchased

Or loose in place of Lose! All of my pet hates are grammar related but of/have, bought/brought and lose/loose make me wince - out loud, not just inside!

Poo for shampoo. Awful.

Or poo for champagne ... that one deserves corporal punishment.

Posters using the phrase "Pack up"

Pots - not per se but as in " I put a pot of pasta in dc's lunch".

Vogue Williams saying "a click and a clack" in that irritating advert.

"Celebrities" such as Giovanna Fletcher et al who have a child and are suddenly top parenting experts.

People smiling in photos with their tongue either squashed behind their teeth or between their teeth.

You don't butter a whole slice of bread?

People writing chester draws rather than chest of drawers. Chester Draws sounds like a crooked bookie to me wearing a loud check suit, with a waistcoat.

I need some drawers for the garage. I have been looking on Facebook market place.

Draws. Draws what?

DRAWERS.

Oh and one was Chester Draws.

People who sell things of FB market place and list them as 'needing a clean'

CLEAN IT BEFORE YOU SELL IT YOU DIRTY SOD

Influencers (in general, but this in particular) calling every bit of shite they peddle INSANE and UNREAL.

Hubby and hubster, shortening of words

Yes, agree about selling dirty things online. I sometimes think they are just trying to save themselves a trip to the tip!

People who say 'two choices' for two options. Choosing between two options is making one choice.

People who put their Christmas tree up before the second weekend in December! Even worse if it's up in November.

There was a post on our local town Facebook site asking who was selling 'reefs'. Gave me the rage. That's not just incorrect spelling.
