Hearing people eating.And wierd noises - litterally go right through me.
Also my DH sneezing. A loud sneezer - does about 10-15 in a row. Every time.
When out, 3/4 people taking up the whole path width ways thinking they own it and make no attempt at being considerate at moving over slightly so you can pass.( Or they're stood there talking taking up most of the path)
Agree with Claudia's fringe.

Any public loo with no hook on the back of the door for your coat and handbag. Airports are the worst when you can’t leave your stuff anywhere. Drives me mad and cosy pennies to fix. I can’t get my jeans and knickers down, wee and wipe while holding up a coat and clutching a bag. I’m not putting my clean coat and nice bag down on the disgusting floor.
I notice this specifically in disabled loos (use them a lot with work). I have beer seen a disabled loo with a hook. Not that it's broken or missing, there just isn't is one.
Do people with disabilities not have bags?

Crisp packets, God I hate the noise they make, they've been changed so they make the maximum noise possible when someone eats out of them. I presume this is to make us all want crisps, I don't eat crisps and I just want to empty other people's out and burn the packet to teach it a lesson.
Thanks @popcoin , I feel better now

I don't get the snobbery about audio books, so what if the book read was the audio version. What would you prefer people say, "my dyslexia/eyesight/Parkinsons etc is so impactful I find it more comfortable to go with audio format". Jesus.....

Listening to an audio book really is different to reading an actual book though. E.g. if a teacher told you that your child spent the morning learning to read, you'd be a bit shocked if that meant they'd listened to an audio recording.

The phrase "freshly ground black pepper". DH used to live with someone who always went into raptures about the deliciousness of "freshly ground black pepper".
Get a grip! It's pepper. Freshly ground or not, it's just fucking pepper. It's like getting excited about bin liners or swimming breaststroke.

Sitting at a table in an empty cafe/bar /restaurant and someone walks in and squeezes onto the table next to you.
It's probably the same bastard who has parked too close to your driver's side door in a HALF EMPTY CAR PARK, FFS!
This should be an actual crime! 😆

This is how I feel about the obsession with a 'crusty' loaf on Mumsnet. People never seem to just eat bread.

The phrase 'curl up with a book'. See it all the time on posts here about 'what would you do if you had a free night'. No one would ever just read a book. They'd always curl up.
I just picture the most irritating person literally curled up reading their book, smug in their satisfaction that they're not just sitting.

I get this but then I'm thinking if it's a cafe with 2 tables in a beautiful window overlooking the river and you're in one, I'm taking the other 😂

I think I would forgive you for that.

Dates of births and dates written in numerical form. Ie 1/2/2000.
I was not born in “2”, but February! The day and year don’t bother me, because they are numerical, it’s just the month. I’d rather write it as 1st February 2000 (and usually do if the form gives me space).
