What irrationally irritates you?

Fucking tiktok memes where people are doing stupid fucking dances to “green green grass”. What is the ducking point of it?!

iPhone changing fucking to ducking every single time. I thought it was supposed to learn.

Probably not irrational though.

Social media. I hate myself but I can’t seem to get off it.

Particularly stupid reels where some woman dances while pointing to words, with a stupid smug expression on her daft mug.

Argh

People who scrape out every last trace of yogurt from the pot making a horrible scrapey noise that makes me want to stab them.

glares across office desk

When people have loose chippings, or chunky gravel as their driveway and its all messy and spilled over onto the pavement as well. Sweep up you lazy wotzits, pedestrians are trying to walk and don't need mini rocks impeding their progress.

That annoys me too.

goldorchids · 13/07/2023 16:56

People who stab the margarine out of the tub rather than scraping and then also leaving their bread crumbs in there to get mouldy. Drives me up the wall.

bracemyselfagain · 13/07/2023 16:57

Water & bubbles all over the side after someone washes up ...

Teenagequeenwithaloadedgun · 13/07/2023 16:59

People whonfulm themselves crying then post it onto social media. I hate it.

Badger1970 · 13/07/2023 17:02

People who stand browsing in supermarkets with their trolley blocking the entire section they're looking at.

No, you take your time, I've got all day Hmm

GoodnightJude1 · 13/07/2023 17:07

People that ‘gulp’ their drinks….😡
People that stand and chat blocking the whole pavement.

Ex partners

PTSDBarbiegirl · 13/07/2023 17:07

Most tv adverts.

gluenotsoup · 13/07/2023 17:08

People who lean on the shopping trolley handle, with their backside stuck out, shuffling along. Drives me batty, but for no good reason.
Men with their wife or girlfriend looking at the women’s underwear. Why?? Just let them pick it themselves, I don’t like being side-eyed by a stranger while I’m looking at knickers. 😬

rumred · 13/07/2023 17:13

People saying '100%'
Partner has started doing it and it makes me scowl

Yellowdaysaregood · 13/07/2023 17:14

Fucking bastard kids playing fucking bastard balls up against a fence next to my house FUCK OFF!!!!!!

Hadalifeonce · 13/07/2023 17:16

The fact that petrol is priced at 144.9, not a proper amount of money. I bet if you managed to put exactly 5 litres into your car, you would be charged in a round amount.

Not 100% because that actually exists, but when people say 150%, 1000% etc.
No such thing and it drives me up the wall

Also anyone (always under the age of 27 and usually being interviewed on Radio 4) answering a question with: "So..." 🤬

xogossipgirlxo · 13/07/2023 17:21

I hate when people can't get to the point in their story, but instead they tell you millions of irrelevant details.

deadassjackie · 13/07/2023 17:22

I get disproportionately annoyed, like proper instant rage, if I'm taking a kitchen utensil out of the pot and it gets caught on something else. It's really weird.

SouthCountryGirl · 13/07/2023 17:30

People who just stop dead in awkward places.

Muu · 13/07/2023 17:32

People telling me their boring road rage stories about some minor bit of shit driving they experienced on their way to work.

ManchesterLu · 13/07/2023 17:34

My DP watching a video on Reels/Facebook/TikTok and then getting completely and utterly immersed, for ages, watching video after video after video, with the volume on full.

It destroys my soul.

If I'm ever doing anything on my phone that requires sound, and he doesn't need to hear it, I'll put my AirPods in. He also has a pair.

Beaverbridge · 13/07/2023 17:41

Yoghurt pot scraping, drives me mad. Scraping at an empty pot as if it contained crack cocaine. Also loose chippings from people's drives, why don't the lazy feckers go out with a sweeping brush. People going through supermarket tills and act all surprised when cashier tells them how much. Then they take hours to rake through purse or wallet. Arrrgh.

Miajk · 13/07/2023 17:45

Groups of slow walkers who decide to take up the entire width of available pavement

Always having to move out of the way for men in the street or dealing with just bumping into them

The way people behave in public, since COVID it's like a fucking zoo

People playing TikTok/music loud on trams and buses
