Things that make you incandescent that you know are unreasonable

I'll start;

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

Oh God yes to sneezing! My DP has the loudest sneeze known to man and often up to 6 times in a row. Does my head in.

Oh and a dry cough, can't stand it.

@Teaandcakeordeath83

Yes to both those things! My DH is the same. He doesn't seem to notice that I don't care about football or golf and don't have enough knowledge/enthusiasm to discuss it!

People standing choosing for ages in the supermarket, blocking my way.

A couple and their trolley must have blocked the humous/dips section for about 10 min when I went to the supermarket the other day. Then the lady actually picked up the humous...but it was a false alarm and she put it back, and a few more minutes of debate was required before everything was out of date they eventually chose a different one to purchase!!

Practically everything mentioned. P!us dogs in pet pushchairs and DH always having to look in both pockets for his hanky. Can't you remember where you put it back last time you used it? That was only five minutes ago, after all. Oh, and loud nose blowing. You're not clearing drains.

I've just encountered the two WORST ONES:

  • Cutting open a pepper and the seeds going everywhere. EVERYWHERE!
  • Using my food processor, taking the bowl off the main unit then taking the top off the bowl, and EVERY.SINGLE.TIME the little pusher-inner bit in the lid goes flying onto the floor.

Needing scissors to open a new pair of scissors. Just why?

Loving these!

I particularly feel the friendly neighbours (shudders). Worst nightmare.
