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.

People who park in “my” spot! Yes it’s a public highway I know it’s not mine etc…

Celebrities like Bradley Walsh or Ramesh Ranganathan and his mum, going on holiday filming it and calling it entertainment. Really annoys me , seriously just go on holiday and pay for it yourself like everyone else has to do!
i don’t want to watch you doing silly things in another country for free when you get huge salaries.
Also talentless people who are worshipped by others like kylie or Madonna yet they can’t sing!

People who agree with you that something is really annoying but don't want to do anything about it....but they're quite happy for you to speak up about it!

People who bite their nails in public. The sound makes me want to throw up. Especially big mem who contort their whole hand to get at the inner thumb edge! 🤢

Agree 100%!

I love my husband dearly. However when doing jobs about the house, listening to music with headphones in, he won't sing along. He does this weird, creepy ass, whispering along instead that freaks me out and lends our home the haunted feel of an abandoned church at midnight.

A friend invited his brother to a get together. He spoke a lot about Kai.
Kai likes... Kai wants...etc.

I said "I didn't know you had two brothers"
my friend replied ,"I don't" he rolled his eyes. "That IS Kai!"

Agree with the poster about people not having their bus pass etc ready even though they had plenty of time to sort it out. I hate it when you are trying to get off/out a bus/lift and people are trying to get on at the same time. People who just stop dead right in the middle of the pavement. Was at supermarket one day and was using the self-checkout but and there was a young couple in front of me - the female was scanning the stuff while her partner just stood there looking pretty and not even attempting to bag up the groceries until after the girl had finished and paid then she packed up her stuff!!!!!

Drivers who don't acknowledge you when you let them out. Unnecessarily rude and makes me wish I hadn't bothered

People who use lay/lie/laid incorrectly. "Just lay down, dear"- Lay what? An egg?

Young women who inject their lips with fillers so they have a pout like a fish. There are some examples on The Apprentice. It just looks so bad!

People who constantly use your name in conversation when they are talking to you teenagers constantly giggling then they stop turn round to stare at you then start giggling again (makes me a bit paranoid). People esp men with either big beer bellies or really scrawny with their tops off in summer (no one needs to see that). People constantly humming.

I know - I think all the girls on TOWIE and Love Island look the same with their pouty lips etc

Yes! I could have written this!

People who start every sentence with “So”. Think they need a Dictionary!!!!

Over-use (or to be honest ANY use) of the word Collab. It makes my palm itch. Say it’s a collaboration or move away from my ears.

People in our road have taken over a parking space as theirs. It isn't an official space and its outside someone else's back gate. Everyone uses their backgates/doors so the occupier has to walk/squeeze psst their car when he gets home daily.
If they move the car the other part of said couple stands in the space so they can park their other car there...in doing so they leave their own space free for hours! Nothing to do with me and no affect on me but does my head in to see it happen day in day out...especially the person standing in the space so no one else can park there 😂

Ever since my best mate had kids, she constantly refers to herself as mummy. Even when they're not around. Drives me crackers!

People who don’t know the difference between their there and they’re

Houses that have slogans and sayings on walls, doormat etc

My friend when she’s having spaghetti bolognaise pronounces the g, boils my piss every time 🤬
text talk bugs me too, I don’t understand it because I learnt to speak properly 🤬🤬

Horribly judgemental of me, but facial piercings, tattoos, especially on people in professional positions.

I do that!! Weird social anxiety thing, and I do realise how ridiculous it is

Fur baby?? This really annoys me!

Totally agree! My adult child/ren are my best friends, line, drives me potty. No, they aren't. You're the parent. You are not supposed to be friends with your child. Getting on well with them is fine. My best friend is such playground stuff, to me
