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. 🤢

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.

My ex-SIL did this. She would say what she wanted then say "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah" while she thought of something else to say.

I got pissed off and eventually told her to stop mooing and walked out of the room. She was stunned by my rudeness!

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 😂😂

I once stood in a cue desperate for ages, all the toilets were engaged. One woman had enough of waiting and went to bang on a door only to discover them all empty but showing occupied. Since then I always try the doors.

Vegetarians that eat fish and white meat 😏 or just an occasional bacon butty 🤯

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.

Yes I find it odd that people feel they need to say they don't drink when they do. Then there's the people who assumes everyone drinks and sends you a bottle of wine as a thank you /gift .

His instead of he's. 'His not here right now' 'his going on holiday'
Gives me the petty rage

People who walk backwards: saying goodbye to their mates or locking their car with a remote doodad, etc, and looking back at what they’re doing but getting on the move.

Anyone who says “needs [verbed]” (yes I know it’s a regionalism. It irrationally annoys me!)

Tall men with rucksacks

People drinking their tea “dip the bag” style

I was watching hells kitchen last night. There was someone who was vegetarian. But if she was drunk ate meat. And also as a chef she has to try the food.

Hanger ribbons on tops and jumpers - I always forget to cut them off and then have them creep into view whilst wearing.

Secret sugar that’s stuffed into so many foods including cooked meats, sauces, and dressings.

My toddler’s recent habit of darting into the fridge when it’s opened, taking out butter and bitting down on it, leaving butter everywhere and a huge mouth shaped mark in the pack! She has a whole army of teethers at her disposal but this is her absolute favourite thing to do! 😱

People who press the wrong or both lift buttons!!! do they not know how arrows work???!!!!!

@HelplessAndLost

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?

@grey12 I love The Oatmeal!

Couples who buy a round as a pair but receive rounds as individuals. Stop it you tight fisted freeloaders, you are not kidding anyone.

@grey12 Amazing

Two I see a lot on social media:

Sentences omitting the words "to be". For example "needs gone" or "dog needs walked". What is so hard about adding two tiny words to complete the sentence?

Also, "I feel you" when it should be "I feel FOR you". I feel you sounds like you are going up to someone and honking their boobs!

Your 2nd point op, that really gets my back up. Usually the assumption that the person offering unsolicited advice looks so great that obvs I'd want to look like them if only I could figure out how...usually over made up fashion victims!

People who wash their hands in the kitchen sink and splash water everywhere then don't dry around the sink afterwards.

People who eat too loudly, smacking their lips….

Tailgaters but not sure that counts as petty as can be bloody dangerous.

People walking so slowly down the street with their head in their phone!
The most petty is people who drag their feet while walking! Enrages me!

Maps being wrong. Roads not sign posted. Bus stops with no route information.

Oooh - yes to alot. Also when did "all right" become "alright"? (May be extra sensitive to this one as it was an English teacher's pet hate!)

But the one that makes me harrumph is when people say "the proof is in the pudding." No it's not!!! That makes no sense! The proof of the pudding is in the eating!

That and people saying "3am in the morning".

I'll probably get flamed, but people who are 5 seconds post ovulation using the depth of colour on a pregnancy test to estimate if the pregnancy is progressing.
A pregnancy test recognises the presence of HCG but they are not designed to show progress dependent on colour!

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

These two points contradict eachother a little, I think. Maybe they say they don't drink to avoid being cajoled into drinking when they don't want to (for any number of reasons). Yes, honesty is best but as you then point out, people don't always listen.

Except/Accept. Very different meanings but often misused

Also when people use "was" instead of "were"...
We was going away......
And fog lights when it's not foggy.

People who walk so sloooooooowly and manage to take up the entire path whilst doing it. Ffs move will you!!!
