Things that make you irrationally annoyed

[Whatnextcrazyworld]

This is just for fun ...

The Shipping Forecast came on Radio 4 a short while ago and, as usual, I went grrrr and wanted it to go away. Ridiculous I know.

My mum's handwriting does it too - just have to see it for a second and I have an internal reaction. Absolutely no real reason for it.

An envelope with the address upside down.

I'm sure I've got dozens more ....

People in the queue at the cafe, who only look at the menu when they're being served....

Everyone else behind you, has looked and know what they want, but we'll just wait whilst you consider the options you've been able to see for 10 minutes

The word hubby - it gives me the rage

I don’t know why. There is a mum in own local mums group that constantly reminds us that her hubby will be looking after her kids - no no no their father is parenting

And cafes that don’t have a legible menu in sight except on the counter, so you can’t decide first!

People saying "Proshecco" instead of "Prosecco".

People who stand at the bus stop for ages. Get on the bus, complain to the driver that it's always late and then proceed to search for their buss pass for 3 minutes. PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE THE REASON ITS LATE 🤣

@cantcopenow
Yes! I'd forgotten my pet hate of people walking into a cafe when you are sat by the door and leaving it open when it's FREEZING!

in the case of Mr Bean and Frank Spencer ridiculing people who may be neuro diverse or have learning difficulties.

Those characters were created to have the piss taken out of them.

But that's just a thing that happens isn't it?

I got my skirt caught on a pot in the garden today, it dragged me back. It made me laugh!

Similes that make no fucking sense whatsoever. Mother says things like "dry as get out", "as cold as anything". How dry is "get out"? Is it as cold as the sun? Because that would fall under the category of "anything".

And classical music. Makes my blood boil.

People who park in the Drop off/Pick up Zone outside Tesco.
It doesn't affect me at all, it's a lay-by so they're not obstructing me, neither do I intend to drop off point or pick up someone and they're in my way.
Totally irrational annoyance but I'm a stickler for Rules!

@Justcannot
I see Jacob Rees Mogg has received a Knighthood in Boris Johnson's Honours List.

Hubster
Hubs

Just stop it.

I solved this one by not answering anyone who does this. I won't even reply if they shout to me from the next room and I can hear them perfectly.

‘classical music’. I mean it’s all subjective and all, we all have our stuff, but cor blimey, guv’nor, that’s wide!

People who reply to these sorts posts with paragraphs-long answers. Make it short and snappy, no one is looking for essays. It’s like a quick-round quiz thing.

People who think they can police how other posters respond in a thread. That's pretty annoying 😁

The posts do make sense but people being picky about ones grammar and spelling.

When you ask a question and get an answer of "have you tried Google?"

I'll admit I'm a grammar pedant so there are many things on the internet/Mumsnet that annoy me, but generally I let it go. Except the huge amount of spelling and grammatical errors I constantly see on news outlets. Christ on a bike. These journalists are supposed to be good at the language - it's so fucking lazy (as is most journalism these days).

Also people who cannot use their indicators when driving. I'm supposed to telepathically know you're turning then. Arseholes.

drivers & cyclists who don’t indicate

people standing in the way by the conveyor belts at baggage reclaim (usually men)

Monty Don when he says he’s “got you some jobs for the weekend” and smirks - gaahaaaaaaaah go away!!!

The word breakfast.

People who put "home made" whatever on what's for dinner threads

Brekkie is the worst

When people call children "bright". My lip starts to curl. That's ok because they'll be just starting a monologue.
When people say how "passionate" they are about something. I agree with, like the idea behind the concept but it was hackneyed 10 years ago when it started as some PR/HR department's piece of advice that snowballed.
When people overuse my name in a sentence because they have learned that technique in sales school/read a sales book. I don't get how they don't see how dumb it is.
When people tell me they're ver specific dog's breed. "A Turkish De boulVard muffle Truffle hound". Give me back those 3 seconds. I'm not frigging interested. although I did ask.

Nestled in the heart of the valleys we serve home made breakfasts.

Agreed. Especially with a nice cuppa.
