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. 🤢

People saying they "borrowed" money to someone really irritates me.

People describing their cold as ‘flu’
People not listening, just waiting until you’ve finished so they can reiterate their point or anecdote they were giving
My DH waving his hands to indicate that he wants me to finish talking because he’s bored listening to me
People with perfect children explaining the value of good parenting

Oh another one - people at work who go into minute detail about their projects when they’re asked to give an update, and go on and on and on and on…. No-one actually cares about who said what to whom - just give us the highlights.

I always park my car where there is plenty of space in the carpark, normally well away from other people. Yet everytime someone parks right next to me. It REALLY annoys me, so many times I've wanted to leave a note - how sad am I

People who don't know the difference between advices and advises... 😜

Everything. Absolutely fucking everything annoys me.

Being a full time arsehole is really exhausting.

People who stop and chat in the supermarket whilst taking up the whole aisle

Axe. As in 'I axed him' it's Ask!

Pacifically

Draws

People who try to talk you round when you've said no

Silent cyclists who whoosh up behind or beside you when you're walking, especially when it's a narrow tow path. Ring your pigging bell!
People who say "oh no, we don't TV" when in fact they watch hundreds of TV programmes that they just download to some other device

Delivery men taking my photo at the door.

Sniffing instead of blowing one’s nose

It’s my pet hate!

Was on the phone to DP last night- I asked 2 or 3 times did they have a cold? You sound sniffly etc. No? Maybe you just need to blow your nose then?

Grown adults talking about how many 'sleeps' until something they are looking forward to. Particularly if that thing is their 'holibobs'.

I have a problem with my nose which means I can't blow it. I do go to the toilet to blow it when I can but I can't always (at work) etc. I just tell people to fuck off it they comment on it now.

I cannot stand...

Slow walkers talking up the entire pavement
People parking in my space. I have a space every where I go, even if I go there once a year. Its my space and should be left empty for me

@Willtherebeoctobersnow

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

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

Sooooo..

'I do this alot'
'A lot of people do'....

Right or wrong 🤔

People that say "have you sin it?" instead of "have you seen it"!

Same applies to bin and been!

Also hate noisy eaters

People who make homemade soups and won't stop going on about it...

People who won't go anywhere or do anything without their partners, especially if when challenged they go into the whole 'Well personally I ENJOY my husband's company' yadda yadda. Yeah, I enjoy mine too, but not so much that I need to be glued to him 24/7.

Also, sorry, but - people who have no topics of conversation besides their children.

Oh god yes this! Use your bloody bell!

@Fuckitsstillraining

Except/Accept. Very different meanings but often misused

Also affect/effect Adverse/averse Less /fewer I was sat

People who act like they’ve never met someone who doesn’t eat meat before… “but what do you eat?”/“but..bacon”.

Car idlers polluting up the place for no reason.

@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?

And draw/drawer Dear god, it's not that difficult!

Also inappropriate use of "and I" when it should be "and me":
She came to visit Jim and I is WRONG!!
She came to visit Jim and me is RIGHT!!
(Take "Jim and" out of the sentence and it'll tell you whether I or me is appropriate to use.)

And breathe

@Mariell - that's really rude.

There's a young woman at my kids' school who brings her dad to every evening pick up and her mum to kids' parties. Gives me the absolute rage that she needs her parents to escort her

People who make homemade soups and won't stop going on about it...
I fucking HATE soup, and this, thank you! Let me be your friend in a homemade-soup-free enclave.

I hate cars that stop to wave me across when I’m with DD: no, fuck off, I’m trying to teach her road safety not “nip in front of wanker in his white van” safety, just fucking DRIIIIIIIIIIIVE. Also cars that try to turn into the road I’m crossing and beep me because they don’t know their Highway Code. And people who talk about coffee.

A can’t see the word Alot without thinking of this….

@freshcarnation

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

On a related note, the fact that all the surfaces in pub/restaurant/service station toilets are often so wet you can't put your bag down on them.
