Petty things that annoy you inordinately

[IntermittentParps]

Mine is when I pour a mug of water for tea and the teabag tag gets dragged into the mug. SO tiny but SO irritating.

Stupid questions.
For example, you're sitting at your desk catching up with emails on a Friday evening. Someone comes past and says, "Are you still here?"
No Colin, this is a hologram."

My (newish) car displaying the speed limit on the dash board.

It's like driving with my mother sitting on one shoulder!

I was driving a brand new hire car last week. Got on the motorway and it told me that the speed limit was 110. Wow!

@Mrsjayy

forgiving machines let you open door and add it

My new machine lets you do this I used the function last week it made my day 🙂

Mine doesn't, but I only discovered on here that dishwashers do!

The fact that men (DH I am looking at you) tend to not change the toilet roll. I would say I change close to 98%. I get that this is a function of the fact that women use more, but can't they just change it when it is almost gone and leave the roll with the dregs on the side?

Gosh I seem to have a lot of these

When I’m sat at my desk eating my lunch while browsing RightMove/Instagram/online shopping and someone decides to ask me a work related question. There’s someone in my team who does this all the time. He’s also someone who posts on company Slack channels on the weekend so I’m sure he does it just to prove what a hard worker he is

When i am helping ds put his trousers on and i sort of roll up the leg so its easier for him to get his foot through the hole. The first leg is always fine but then he immediately puts his other leg up ready to put into the trousers before i can roll the leg of the trousers up. I dont know why but it riles me up inside. Patience young grasshopper!

@mumofsennimaul

Grown ass people who say they have an idear....wtf is that? It's an idea!!!! 🤬 Also people who can't pronounce "Th" and say fousand and fursday 🤯

That got me worked up just reading it

Also at dinner DH doesn't ever use a knife (unless it's a steak) and cuts everything with his fork. Or worse still when he just forks an entire chicken breast and bites bits off of it until its gone.

I have enormous sympathy for all of these. I would like to add:

People who drape a cardigan/coat/jacket round their shoulders. I think you will find if you look carefully that there are sleeves, and if you put your arms in them you will a) be warmer b) look less ridiculous and c) escape the force of my displeasure.

Parents in the school yard who stand directly in front of others making it harder for teachers to see people and wave the kids off. The yard is bloody massive stand around the outside so we can all get away faster

The 46 year old man I work with speaking like a toddler,
Bikky wikky
Jelly welly
Cakey wakey
Cutty cutty

I'm not sure how I've not murdered him by shoving his cakey wakey down his throat.

LED lights on cars

The real housewives of Beverley Hills. I love the program but I have 2 issues with the title:

1. Theyre not housewives. They all work.
2. Half of them live in Malibu and Calabasas WHICH ISNT IN BEVERLEY HILLS.

Posters in public places being displayed after the event has ended.

Trying to open a sachet of coffee, failing and having to use scissors.

People saying anythink and somethink, instead of anything and something. Things falling over.

My DH and all his family say "x-a-ray" instead of x-ray and I find it intensely irritating.

When I tie my hair up, and there is one strand that gets pulled more than the rest so it hurts.

When I arrive at the gym and someone is on MY favourite treadmill.Its mine,all mine,fuck off! 😳

Oh my goodness, I can't believe a pp has mentioned tailor's tacks in coats; it drives me wild, and I know I'm being ridiculous. Unpick it people!!!!

My other is people cycling in the wrong gear, so that their legs are going like the clappers but they are travelling very slowly. None of my business, has no effect on me, drives me crazy.

Hmm, surely you mean his throaty woaty?

When the hell did people start saying 'hacks' instead of 'tips'? Hacks to me mean going out on a horse.

People who say ‘veggies’. Even typing that word made me feel ill.

Unloading the cutlery holder in the dishwasher and putting the cutlery away.

It's so fucking boring it makes me angry.

People who say ‘veggies’. Even typing that word made me feel ill.
‘Veg’ is even worse.

When people type ‘tele’ instead of ‘telly’. Does it affect me materially in any way? No. Does it make me want to kick them in the teeth? YES.
