So going to a shop earlier, parked far enough away from the door as my car is quite big and I like to keep it out of the way of trollies etc. There was a small car parked (badly) two bays up from me but it didn't affect my being one bay away. Test if car park was empty. I come out to discover some delight had shoehorned themselves into the empty bay beside me also I a massive car. As I get closer I can see they have kids. I also see that the door is flung open and hitting my door !!! I gave him such a look of "what the hell are you doimg ?) luckily my car wasn't damaged but why the feck would someone do that? It wasn't a child/ disability space so it made no sense that he struggled to get in while passing other empty spaces to get to the most awkward spot. Am I being weird for thinking this was weird lol?

I feel your pain - if I park in the row furthest away from a shop, emptiness all round, you can guarantee that when I come out someone is right next to me, usually parked hard up to my car with tons of space the other side so I have to get in my passenger side and climb over 🤬

At my work, I close my office door if I am trying to get on with something, or if I am on a call. My team seem to think that this is a sign to come and speak to me. So far I have tried polite and not quite so polite with limited success, next step is nuclear 🤬🤬🤬

Let their dogs shit. Anywhere. They just let their dogs shit… and leave it.

Drop litter. Just fucking tip crap out of car windows onto the street/pavement/car park.

Both in equal measure dirty dirty cunts.

What annoys me in supermarkets is when people come with huge trolleys barging out of the side aisles onto the main aisle to cross over without even stopping to see if there's anyone coming at the 'junction' for want of a better word... a woman crashed her trolley into mine recently in this scenario when I was walking in the main aisle, she came rushing out and blamed me when the groceries went on the floor and all I could say to her was if she drives the same way and doesn't stop at a crossroads then she must be an awful driver! She replied by saying she wanted to punch me! Surely there should be some sort of common sense / etiquette to trolley shopping or AIBU?

Families walking in a horizontal line!!
This happened to me only today. Busy shopping centre and no chance of getting round them!
Mom, Dad, toddler son, around 10yr oldish son, then teenage son. All in a line 😡 so annoying

Own dogs like pugs which are hideously disfigured cos "it's so cute," yes.... cos listening to a dog gasping for breath is cute? Also owners that let bark incessantly while at home. In fact, dog ownership when both owners work and leave it all day.... to bark. Ditto rabbits in hutches that are too small and fish put straight into a tank that hasn't been cycled. Pet ownership is a weird one for me.

cleanasawhistle · 19/06/2022 15:28

My next door neighbours are annoying me today.
Their bin got emptied on Tuesday and its still on the pavement .
They are in and out all day,dog walking etc...just take the bin in

Ameanstreakamilewide · 19/06/2022 15:35

This won't stay 'lighthearted', OP...and the thread will probably get deleted.
I've seen it happen time and time again.

thesnailandthewhale · 19/06/2022 17:42

Writing "Make it too hot to handle" when sharing pictures on facebook of their bike / diy tools etc that have been stolen ... irrational yes, but it gives me the rage every time.

TigerRag · 19/06/2022 18:13

People who pick up their dog shit, put in a poo bag and just leaving it on the ground.

What was the point of picking it up if you're going to bag it and fling it somewhere that isn't a bin?

Bluevelvetsofa · 19/06/2022 18:16

I used to put a ‘please come back later’ on my office door. All that happened was that people knocked before coming in.

Welshrarebit75 · 19/06/2022 18:30

People taking their dog for a walk during working hours, so not before work, or during lunch but at times when meetings have been arranged.

People who use the Instant Messaging app in work, but then feel you don’t respond quickly enough, so send emails (normally copying lots of other people in).

stuntbubbles · 19/06/2022 18:31

People.

camelfinger · 19/06/2022 18:37

I wonder how many of these will be parking related! Mine is people sitting outside my house/sccools with their engine running. Fuel is clearly still too cheap!

Littlebirdyouaresosweet · 19/06/2022 18:39

Imo car parking is herd mentality like cinema seats.....

monsterastuckiosa · 19/06/2022 18:40

People who reach the top of escalators and just stop there make me want to scream.

You didn't even walk up those stairs - how do you need a rest?! 😂

camelfinger · 19/06/2022 18:44

Also when people start slagging off “the school” for poor comms when they just haven’t read their emails.

AclowncalledAlice · 19/06/2022 19:07

People looking at their phones whilst walking in front of me. Just look where your fucking going or move to the side and stop.

Hold a team meeting. Be blunt and tell them that door closed means do not disturb. No need to go nuclear.

BanjoVio · 19/06/2022 19:19

When people mix up ‘bought’ and ‘brought’.
When people don’t know the difference between ‘woman’ and ‘women’ (it’s the same as ‘man’ and ‘men’!!!)
When people don’t understand that it’s ‘would’ve’ and ‘could’ve’, not ‘would of’ and ‘could of’.
And it’s ‘mischievous’ NOT ‘mischievious’ 😱😱😱

GuyFawkesDay · 19/06/2022 19:23

Blokes in supermarket. More specifically older ones, usually dragged in by their other half and forlornly wandering the aisles....iInhe middle of them.
Slowly.
Parking their trolley at an angle whilst they peruse items, in doing so nobody can get past.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrggghhh

Alphabet1spaghetti2 · 19/06/2022 19:30

People who can’t put empty toilet roll tubes in the bin - but can put them behind the cistern, under pipe work, on the sink, in the bad dryer or over the loo brush. But not in the open top bin beside the door
people who can’t change a bin bag when it’s full. Fresh bin bag being underneath ready to use - but nope let the bin overflow and place rubbish on the floor beside it.
People who can make food and drink, walk back to their desk, but can’t return their dirty plates/mugs/cutlery back to the kitchen. Or they manage to leave it in the toilet or on the stairs which they then walk last umpteen times a day. Then moan at the cleaner there isn’t any clean plates etc when they come in for work at the end of the day….

rubberhead · 19/06/2022 19:34

Lack of indicators is another one of my irritants- particularly when you've been waiting 3.5 hrs to turn right at a busy junction

I usually do a “there and back” dog walk and so leave the poop bag on the side to pick up on my way back so I don’t have to carry it for the whole walk. But appreciate that some people do leave it and never pick it up 😡

Husband has an expensive car and parks at the end of the supermarket carpark so it’s by itself, but you can guarantee someone will park right next to it, leaving many, many empty spaces nearby.

neighbours son parks his car on the bit in front of their house which was actually put there for us to back into to get put of our driveway. Not so bad if we reverse i to our driveway, but we need that space to be able to do that too! They have a really big driveway too so I don’t know why he doesn’t just park on there. We have asked but to no avail unfortunately.

Alphabet1spaghetti2 · 19/06/2022 19:36

yep. Indicators used like fairy lights-
once a year at Christmas. The they give you the evil glare for not being able to mind read.
