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!

Big, flappy earlobes. Revolting. Anything over a centimetre. Vom. Not the person’s fault clearly but yuck.

Anyone who starts a rant with "I'm not being funny, but..."

Usually followed by something racist.

My biggest pet peeve is actually Danny Dyer's ridiculous over-egged accent ( Cilla Black was the same. Don't get me started on Lulu - are you American or Scottish? Choose a fucking accent and stick to it!)

Aaaaand breathe.

When you're spending time socially with one other person and they then answer the phone and chat to someone else leaving you sitting there twiddling your thumbs (obviously emergency calls / calls from kids / work are excepted from my pettiness).

I've brought this up before in a thread and got shouted down so assume it's only me that hates it, but it seems to happen all the time and I think it's rude 🤷🏼‍♀️

Women who wear sandals which are too small for them and their toes hang over the edge. 🤣

All the managers in my work.
Except mine.

Cunts the absolute lot of them.

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.

You save part of a slice of bread for later?

Ok these are so petty I should be ashamed:
people who bring packed lunches in a special bag
People who are not American calling films “ movies”
Any sort of tapping..DH is a serial tapper
Being served cucumber with the rind cut off
Being served dinner with gravy already on .I know I should ask but I forget sometimes.

Sainsbury's labelling all their small citrus fruit as "easy peelers".

Yeah ,how easy it is to get the skin off is all consumers are interested in .
Satsumas /clementines/tangerines - who cares? They have different flavours you say ? Pshaw ! It's the ease pf peeling we care about .

People addressing me, me and DH or me and anyone else I happen to be with as "you guys". FUCK OFF.

I've brought this up before in a thread and got shouted down

I'm surprised because it's extremely rude.

Celebs who have a child, then think they're some sort of expert and write books about it like no one else has ever raised a child before.

MNers who read a sensitive post that's been hard to write (sometimes on a tablet that has a mind of its own) and all they take from it is the incorrect grammar. It should be made clear on joining that you need a degree in English Language and any mistakes will not be tolerated

When I ask for a latte and the 'barista' replies back lah-tay....

It's latte - sounds like pâté.

People who cut the rind from brie

People who add sugar to tea

@Rainbowandscarlett

Shortening words/joining them

It’s not chicky nuggies,it’s chicken nuggets

Fugley-fat and ugly

Holibobs-holiday

Etc-drives me round the bend

Isn’t fugly - fucking ugly, rather than fat and ugly??

@hotcrosswhat

Omg I love these threads

Mine is people with tax discs still in their car, it has been SIX YEARS since you needed one!!

Haha yes ....just why 😂🤣🤣 momentarily forgot that little niggle 😂😂😂

When DH turns the outside light on from outside.

It means the light switches in the hall don’t all face the same way when I go to bed.

I’d rather feel my way to the front door in the pitch dark

Being tailgated on my way home. The road the town is 30 speed limit. As it leaves town it changes to 50... On a steep uphill for a few hundred metres, then flattish for 100m, then uphill again. 200m up the second steep bit is my very sharp, narrow turnoff into an estate. You have to slow quite a bit to make the turn... But the majority of peoe seem very reluctant to let other cars/lorries slow L for this turn. There ar many nea misses with cars on the wrong side of the road etc. It's a well used and signposted turn off. It really annoys me.

That’s not actually petty that’s a genuine gripe, terrible and dangerous behaviour

I hate seeing the imprint of other people’s greasy hair on the window on public transport. That always used to be a bad start to my morning.

This is really petty and I think I am the only one who is so profoundly irritated by this... people who reply to your question with a "Sure", instead of a yes or ok. It sounds so passive aggressive to me!!!

Do you want a cup of tea? Sure
Will I forward the customer the details? Sure

In my defence, I used to work with a guy who, whenever I pointed out anything to him (in my area of expertise), he would reply "Sure, but..." and never ever acknowledge my advice or that I was right...!!

When someone puts juice in a mug!! Mugs are for hot drinks use a glass ffs.

People who refer to lunch as dinner, and to dinner as tea. Hate that!

Are you southern @Teacup34

Gifted. What’s wrong with given and gave - I was given a present, I gave it to my aunt. Not I was gifted a present; I gifted it to my aunt.

Not noticed it before this year. But now it’s everywhere. And I don’t know why. But it makes my teeth itch.
