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.

I work with one of these

Bloody PITA

Oh yes or babies when they are 3-6 years old .
for example I’ve got to pick the babies up from school ffs they are not babies.

Our neighbours who insist on parking outside their house on the road despite there being a residents parking area!! It just looks untidy!

When someone licks their knife. It has nothing to do with me, but I can't help imagining their tongue being sliced open.

A neighbour further up the road parks on the double yellow line and in doing so blocks another neighbour's driveway. This does not inconvenience me at all but I am irrationality annoyed by it.

People in huge 4 wheel drives, crawling over speed bumps.

People that park up at petrol pumps, with attached mini marts and proceed to do their weekly shop, why I patiently wait.

People who stand in front of you,lean over you when you’re looking at stuff in a supermarket.

I used to have a teacher who would join in with the end of all your conversations, just as things were about to get interesting, which really used to interrupt my train of thought. She was my form teacher and a lovely person, but it did my head in.

My friend will say something in public that she clearly wants other people to hear (she is usually bragging about herself) as she will look at them while telling me. I think it makes her look stupid. She also tells white lies e.g. to me she says she passed her drivers test first time. To someone else, in my earshot, she tells them it took her 4 goes.

● People who get to close to you when they talk
● People in general

I know a family who are all so effing self righteous. There's 3 siblings, they obviously all think their family is waaaaaaay more special than anyone else's and call each other silly nicknames on Facebook. Constantly posting pictures of their mum with captions asking how wonderful and great she is etc. Anyway, they're all pretty bitchy and unkind about people behind their backs (and each other's 🤣) and other people generally think their mum is ghastly. All zero difference to my life of course but it makes me rage inside.

Ahh were you the person huffing at me today

Omg im the same! HATE the word 😆

To deadlock our door you need to lift up the handle then turn the key. Dp has a habit of not putting it back horizontal again. It makes no different to the safety as the door is locked, but it drives me nuts as it's just not straight. He doesn't see the issue as it is safe and if anything makes it more obvious that we are in. Shudder.

Every single time my friend speaks about her 3yo she includes something he has said but speaks like a toddler through it "me want food mama" and it makes me want to die inside everytime she says it.

My manager sends photos she has taken of her desktop of important emails that I think have to zoom in and scroll about and can't see the full detail...just forward it.

People who are obsessed with food and think something terrible will happen if they don't eat at a certain time. People who are going out 'to get something to eat' or 'a meal' Maybe it's because I just eat at random times but I can't see why people get so panicked about it. See also those who need to constantly give their DC snacks. And those who think they will die of dehydration if not permanently sipping a bottle of water.

Also absolutely yes to the Mum thing. 'Mum's had to go into hospital so I'm going up there later with Dad.' 'Mum said...' FFS, they're YOUR Mum, not THE Mum, or everybody's Mum, proper annoying.

“Little man” when referring to baby boys. I hate it.

Pronouncing 'ask' as 'arks'.

having a personalised number plate

Having a 'powered by fairy dust' sticker on the back of a car

Making sloppy sounds when eating

Trying to push Scentsy, Herbalife or some other MLM shite on you.

Oh god, the humming!
Every time my sister visits me she hums loudly, it's weirdly proprietorial and irritating as hell. Go hum in your own bloody house!

An acquaintance who's husband has an on off affair with another woman, will take him back whenever the other woman argues with him, knowing full well he's shagging them both. I offered support and sympathy in the beginning but now 4 years later, I'm sick of hearing about it and I can't get over her desperation to keep him.

People who keep talking while yawning. Finish yawning first FFS

People who say the word Nomm 🤮 like really are you a 3 year old. I've never hated a word so much

People who verbalise every single thought that goes through their head. I know one person like this who literally never shuts up. Talks at you (not to you) constantly. It's so bloody irritating.

Agree with big bows on babies heads. Ugh.
People who post about spending “quality time with……” on fb eg
“spent quality time with our angels this weekend”. Translates as saw the grandkids.

Um how many of these am I allowed? I have millions I am a very irritated person.

1. People who think bathing their children daily is essential. Fine if you want to but let's be clear - children don't sweat. Unless they're dirty, twice a week is fine. Babies and toddlers...anything goes frankly just wash them when a baby wipe won't cut it anymore. You're just making your life more stressful insisting on constantly washing your perfectly clean children.

2. competitive cleanliness generally. Hygiene and house cleanliness is morally neutral. No one's giving you a prize at the end of your life because you change your pjs every 30 minutes and shower 45 times a day. Get over yourself. It's pathetic.

3. people who go for afternoon tea and then leave loads of food. Like do you realise what it is before you booked it? Don't buy 3 layers of food then claim to be too full/ladylike to eat it. Why did you bother? Waste of food and money.
