What annoys you about someone that has no effect on you whatsoever but still irritates the hell out of you.

[gettingolderandgrumpier]

a colleague will not put her phone on silent ( in case of emergency) but will leave in her bag and every times it rings and it’s often a cold call she will leap in the air in panic to turn the phone off .
I’ve said leave it on vibrate , leave it on your desk so you can turn it off quicker but no . She never answers it and grumbles that it’s cold calls .
I’m not bothered about the phone ringing but this leaping up in panic and a mad scramble for her phone makes me want to hit her with her daft phone .
why not leave on your desk or stop panicking every time it rings I don’t get it .
i know it has no effect on my life but I’m worried she may have a panic induced heart attack ( I’m joking ) .
share with me lighthearted irritations that you have.

My partners from Yorkshire, and says things like "It's in shed", dropping the 'the', I now have a Welsh accent with a side order of Yorkshire vernacular

I have always used one of those wallet style cases. Have never broken the screen on my phone. Ever. Despite being a very clumsy person who often drops it. As we now have tiled floors I will always use one.

The advert with AJ Odudu for Google Pixel. I know it's probably regional accent but it irritates me so much the way she pronounces fot-o (photo) and fon (phone).

The @Jimmyneutronsforehead Me too but be really emphasises it lol

Slow walkers
Northern accents that involve saying “lickle” and “bockle” for little and bottle
Cheshire accents
East midlands accents
Middle lane drivers
My DH leaving the back door wide open for ages when he’s just “popping out to the shed” despite it being WINTER and heating being EXPENSIVE
People who don’t apologise when they are wrong
Cliques
Talking/making loads of settling-in noise in quiet zones (library, train etc)

@flutterbyebaby That's just an accent. We can't help that lol

My dd 21 will be telling me a story about her day and add “der der der der” into it.
Eg I had to help Agnes at the dinner table today anyways der der der der she got a phone call from her son der der der der and the up shot is he was ringing because her toilet has been fixed and is going to cost £££ der der der der. Anyway he paid it for her.

WTF drives me bonkers. If I spend to much time with her it rubs off and I end up wanting to der der der der 😡

My uncle who can’t get to the point quickly. Everything has to be a long, rambling story. Sometimes I prompt him or try to use a yes/no question and it simply makes him start at the beginning again.

I love the chap but it’s annoying.

We have a friend who does this. He's called his DGG that since she was born and it makes me cringe. Why would you call a baby "sexy"? He doesn't mean anything by it, it's just a term of endearment for him, but I just don't think he's thought about it much.

My AMAZING daughter got into her first choice school. The school is AMAZING. I hope you have an AMAZING time there. You are AMAZING.

Does she mean Blah Blah Blah lol

I get annoyed if I'm walking behind someone and notice that they haven't cut the thread on the vent of their coat or jacket so it can't move properly. Hate it. It has no bearing on my life whatsoever.

Woman I know posts frequent boasts about her daughters on social media. Always begin with something like 'I'm so grateful for my gorgeous talented girlies' bit of faux modesty, then comes the photos and hard boasting.

So twee, so fake. So hidden by me now.

A friend who lives in Wales' husband is from the same town in Yorkshire as me, and he once said to her tintintin.

She had no idea, but what he said is it isn't in the tin. 't i'nt in t' tin. A perfectly acceptable sentence up here.

Any 'so grateful' social media posts, in fact.

People who plate up – and use the phrase plate up – in their own homes, minding their own business. I’m not invited over to dinner, I don’t know them, it has nothing to do with me, and YET, there the bastards are, plating up food to their heart’s content instead of using serving dishes at this table. Furious just thinking about you all.

And everything about virtue signalling on social media. Roughly, I found this poor wretch living in a car park and gave them a t-shirt, some water and a bag of fast food.
Thousands of people saying what a great person they are.

Anyone who is happy and content piss me off. Not jealous😒

A woman I know makes a smacking or clicking sound, with her mouth, during long speeches. It's unbearable after a time.

Similar, but people who post things like "went out with THIS ONE" instead of saying their name. Makes it sound as if they have a box of 'them' that they just picked 'this one' out of.
Does my head in.

People who put a capital letter at the start of every word.

People who stand right in front of you in the supermarket when it is clear you are looking at something on the shelf.

Grown women who speak in fake high-pitched girly voices.

Haha, I do like being called lass by him though, makes me go all ooh 😃😃😃😃

People who 'check in' to hospitals on Facebook but don't explain why.

Pages and pages of 'OMG. You ok hun?' and endless fucking sad faces and then eventually, three days later

'lol was just visiting'

or

'Thanks guys - sprained toe'.

Fuck off you attention seeking twats.

I really really try not to get the rage but my 16yo DS every morning ;-) I counted the other day and he was up and down the stairs 16 times!! 16 times! HOW? He is in Y11 and we have tried to get him organised since Y7, obviously not working, his younger brother seems to be far more organised luckily

Well that’s your opinion isn’t it
