Things that make you incandescent that you know are unreasonable

[nightlarking]

I'll start;

People being hellishly "loud" around the napping baby when actually they are not being particularly noisy/behaving perfectly reasonably.

Oh and I think 24 Hour Mumsnet Suspensions should be automatically issued for any of the following :

Using the expression "I gifted" when what you actually mean is that you offloaded some tat you didn't want to someone unsuspecting. Using gifted instead of gave in general.

Asking women who are struggling to conceive if they have thought of adoption

Any poster who considers themselves a true original and gods gift to wit by referencing Balonz, Snapped And Farted or Sistine Chapel on a different thread all of which have had what little humour they began with thoroughly drained.

Seeing someone lick the lid of their yoghurt. I find it disgusting and have to look away.

@FireworkParrot , I use to always lick the lids until I cut my tongue , oh my GOD that bled so much . I will never do it again I promise .

Ahahahahahahah @GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal YES. Sit downstairs and wait! I’m all for it too 🤣🤣🤣

"Women with penises"
"Chest feeding"
"Menstruators"
"Bodies with cevixes"

People who say, for example, “just let myself know”.

It’s ME FFS. ME!!!

😡 😂

@Bookridden

"Women with penises" "Chest feeding" "Menstruators" "Bodies with cevixes"

Ah, but that's totally rational

When I’m eating my lunch at my desk at work and someone TALKS to me.

Fuck off!!!!!!

People (by which i mean dh) sneezing more than two times in a row.

Wrong abbreviations or acronyms. CAHMS and ect in particular.
I know it's unreasonable.

Shoes on the floor where they shouldn't be. Not bothered about other things - but shoes are the worst.

People opening the new box (cereal, dishwasher tablets, paracetamol, whatever) when the old one isn’t finished.

School sending a message home one evening requesting obscure items for the following day. Sorry I don’t have any odd wellies for you to paint up and plant, I don’t have coffee essence and muscavado sugar just sitting in the cupboard and I can’t source a hairnet before 9am tomorrow either. Just give me 2-3 days notice please.

People refusing to order chips or pudding and then deciding they’ll share mine.

@lemonyfox

The radio! Any radio channel, any presenter, any time. There's something about listening (but not seeing) someone prattle on about utter bollocks in between playing the same songs over and over again that irritates me beyond all reasoning. I'd ban radio stations if I could.

Millions of daily listeners tells me I'm in the minority and being unreasonable though!

I listen to Classic FM a lot, but the ads drive me mad, some even more than others. I regularly tell them to fuck OFF!! while hitting the off button on the remote. Just as well nobody can usually hear me.

The traffic on the main road outside our house when I'm in bed.

Don't they bloody well know I'M IN BED and they shouldn't drive past my house until I decide to wake up the following morning?!?!

@Afonavon

Fireworks any night other than November the 5th. Arseholes!

However people use them to celebrate Eid and comemorate a lost loved one, which is reasonable I guess (but irritates the tits off me).

people don't normally use them to celebrate eid. people do use them to celebrate diwali.

Oh god the whinging fireworks posts .. what about my poor wee doggie (who barks itself into a fucking stump every time someone goes near your path and is easily the noisiest thing in the neighbourhood most days), what about people with PTSD (which I have and am completely unaffected by fireworks as most of us are) who are all obviously gibbering idiots hiding under tables at the first sign of fireworks, what about wildlife (see: your fucking dog/cat that you were wittering on about ten seconds ago) etc etc etc gahhh.

This is ridiculous but it’s a pet hate. When you eat food made by a friend , acquaintance or family member and they keep asking you if it’s ok. You have to say it’s great out of politeness even if it’s the blandest meal in the world, so what’s the point? Paying for food in a restaurant etc is completely different obviously. I don’t know why it annoys me but it does. I go the other way when I cook for others as I find it so cringey looking like I’m asking for compliments 😆

Oh God yes to the sneezing!! Particularly when they sneeze. You say bless you ...and they sneeze again! I actually find myself getting all huffy about it!

Cannot stand people using "myself" incorrectly. It's like they try to sound smarter in some way?

DH breathing. HOW is it possible to breath sooo loudly. Also the noise of him eating popcorn in cinema... properly rustles around. No need!

People who chew with their mouths open - especially gum!

Also my beloved colleague, adorable in every way. If you put your phone on speaker to dial rather than pick up the fucking handset I'm going to have to hurt you.

"Sun sneezing". My DH sneezes repeatedly when exiting a building into bright sunlight. It's a real thing - the photic sneeze reflex. He can't help it, but it drives me mad.

It's also genetic, and our DS has it too. All I hear when we leave the house together is a cacophony of bloody sneezing. Neither of them can help it - which is what makes me unreasonable in my rage - but oh my god it's so annoying!!

*People who cycle in the road when there is a cycle lane right next to them.
*People who can’t use roundabouts properly.
*People who can’t use apostrophes correctly.
*People who say ‘myself’ to make themselves sound posh or something. This includes my headteacher 😮

DH sneezing. He makes this contorted face and goes ahh sniff sniff ahh ahh ahhhh ahh ahh sniff sniff sniff sniff ahh ahhhhhh ahhh CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I'm going to get an air horn one of these days and blast on it every time he sneezes.

Tea with no enough milk or not near enough the top.
Socks put into the dirty laundry basket.. .together...in a ball.
Clearing the table while others still eating.
Leaving a parcel on full display instead tucked around porch when delivered
Ringing the door bell and then either not waiting long enough for you to get there OR keep on ringing and ringing.
And my current worst thing. A call centre type place leaving repeated messages saying you need to speak to them (when they call at inconvenient times like during school run) but then lot leaving any kind of number to get them on.

People standing behind me at work talking to someone sitting opposite me. Fuck off.

Just watching Mortimer and Whitehouse and during the talking parts, partner starts talking over them about when his dad took him fishing blah blah blah. No, not now, that can wait.

Forgot one.
Thin people who constantly go on about losing weight or fitness or how they've put on a few pounds. Often while you are all eating or about to eat.

Your and you're being used interchangeably. You're is used when YOU ARE is meant and your is used to refer to something you have/own. Completely different words.
