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?

Myself

Yourself

Used incorrectly, these two pronouns have the power to make me want to stab myself in the eye.

it would appear in my house that I am in control of knowing what the weather is going to be like. I don’t see my mil that often. But even she asks me what the weather is like.
just why???? Can’t u look urself. But my dh does the same … oh. What’s the weather going to be like today … I DONT KNOW!!!!!!

I once sat on an empty cinema only to have two men sit right next to me. I felt so uncomfortable. They talked the entire way through the film really loudly. Why.

I use motorways regularly. The people who zoom in and out of the lanes are dangerous where is a policeman when u need them. also indicate. I’m not magic. I don’t know ur switching lanes so don’t beep at me if I nearly hit ur car. I was indicating u were not. I’m not physic.
My husband when he stands for ten mins trying to decide what T-shirt to wear. Your not a celebrity, ur not going to get photographed. Just choose one.

that and teenagers which …. Don’t even get me started on my teenager and what annoys me or the list will be longer.

I go to the park for a ‘relaxing’ walk most days. Find myself getting irritated by:

The stink of weed.

How the park has been taken over by fitness groups - no sooner has the group doing exercise to music blasting out over huge speakers left than the running group starts. They run three abreast unaware of anyone else out walking or running so you’re constantly anticipating having to get out of their way.

Stoned electric scooter riders coming around the corners full pelt and oblivious.

Discarded shopping trolleys. Noticed loads over the last few weeks - is there some SM trolley craze?

Shite ‘fairy doors’ on trees.

Whoever it is that has started adorning one of the trees with crap-looking baubles every Christmas and can obviously only get half way. They end up on the ground and aren’t removed until Jan. Not magical.

Parents ignoring their kids ripping branches off young trees.

Leave the bloody trees alone!

University students waiting to cross an empty road because they are waiting for the beeps. I would not give them a job if they didn’t have the common sense to know how to cross a road safely on their own

maybe they're foreign and aren't allowed to cross the road at home if it's not green

That would be me. Not a university student but visually impaired and can't see well enough to see the traffic coming.

Because it left me with no room to stretch my legs?

When you ask a question and get the following responses - "what's that?", "have you tried <insert really obvious answer>" "never heard of it". A FB friend did ask if my parents suspected anything. If she knew anything about the condition I have, she'd know it's not always obvious and because there are many symptoms, it's put down to something else.

Ah. I’m picturing the ones at my cinema that have a massive gap between each row for the fully reclinable seats and extended foot rest.

One row of those seats are the equivalent of 3 rows of the old seats.

Yes you pay more but it’s worth it

My Husband and daughter who put their used crockery on the worktop above the dishwasher instead of actually opening the door and putting it in the racks.

Angry Not use indicators ever when driving and expecting you to telepathically know what they plan to do.

Angry Leave their trousers inside out with underwear still attached when throwing washing in laundry basket (eyes two DDs).

Angry Allow their 'friendly' off lead dog to bound up to my on lead dog whilst shouting 'it's ok, they are friendly'. Well my dog isn't. She is nervous.

Angry Specifically my next door neighbour who never ever parks her car on her massive drive but always on the road next to our driveway making getting out of my drive more difficult. Yes I know she can park where she wants etc etc but she has a huge two car driveway and it pisses me off.

Angry As I'm a pedant too people who write ect instead of etc in their posts.
