Petty things that annoy you

[Generalpost]

People who say they don't drink . But couple months later they are pissed at a party Or just have a drink with their meal.

When someone advices what you should do with your hair or other personal stuff when you never asked then on the first place.

When you say no thank you and the person keeps going on and on.

When someone gets on the bus stinking of stale fags. And when you breath you can literally taste it. 🤢

Walking behind someone who doesn’t pick their feet up. I have to call out, “Pick your feet up!” as it annoys me so much! 😂

Low slung trousers or jeans. It might be fashion for some young men but I do not want to see their underwear.

I used to know someone who would use in between words to make sure nobody else ever got a word in. So she would trail off, having finished speaking, but would say ‘but, but, but’ or ‘and, yeah, like’ to sort of place hold her part in the conversation. It meant you could never turn the conversation away from her.

Bum fluff on young men. Just shave it off or wait until your old enough to have a proper Tom Sellick moustache.

People who believe they're entitled to keep you trapped whilst they talk at you for half an hour.

Anyone who says or writes should of/could of/would of.

Anyone who doesn’t know the difference between:

Breath/breathe
Lose/loose
Advise/advice
They’re/there/their
You’re/your

Alot- it’s TWO WORDS! You don’t write alittle so why do people write alot?

When someone tries the toilet door handle despite it clearly saying engaged/ in red. It really gets my goat up 😤

When waiters pour your can or bottle of beer/ coke and can't be bother to tilt the glass so you get a stupidly large head. Massively important issue in life of course 😂😂

Odd socks. My daughter went through a phase as a teenager of wearing odd socks. Awful.

Bought and brought. Huge difference!

All of these, and a mumsnet favourite to add to the list- it drives me potty when someone says 'I seen' instead of 'I saw' or 'I have seen'

Naice and Norks - two ghastly words that I have only ever seen on here.

The woman this morning running along the road into our estate instead of on the nice wide well maintained footpath. Fuck off out of the road and forcing me to crawl at 5mph until I can go right onto the other side of the carriageway safely.

When you order a scone in a cafe and they heat it in the microwave - this gives me the absolute rage.

People who don’t say their mobile phone number correctly - it should be said like a landline eg 07887 123 456 and not 07 8871 234 56

The random, unwanted and pointless 24 hour a day, 7 days a week 20mph limits our local council has imposed which has resulted in more accidents since they were introduced a year ago than the 10 years previously and hasn’t increased the number of of people walking, cycling or wheeling (wheeling is another rage inducing word)

Grandmothers playing mum and pushing the baby in the pram whilst the parents trot along beside. Smacks of over involvement to me.
Irrational I know.

That could be because they have dyslexia

When someone is walking in front of me slower than my pace.

When I'm driving and stuck behind a cyclist with no option the overtake

Endless work phone calls from a DP WFH. I hate it.

Dyslexia doesn’t mean you think alot is one word.

It’s a common misconception but a really irritating one.

Clothes falling off hangers in the wardrobe makes me absolutely RAGE!

Well, obviously if they’re dyslexic that’s a different matter but usually people who make the mistakes I’ve mentioned can spell every other word correctly except these particular ones.

When the corners of the duvet aren't properly fitted into the corners of the duvet cover. Makes me squirm.

Of yours though OP, the drinking one is definitely up there.
I have a colleague who swears blind they don’t drink and tells everyone who’ll listen they’re teetotal saying, ‘I’m mad me, I don’t need alcohol’
but then posts on Instagram photos of themselves out having cocktails and talking about being hungover.
