Minor irritations that drive you disproportionately nuts

[Kingsleadhat]

Having to search for the use by date on foods. You eventually track the bastard down printed in tiny type on a bit of inner packaging which you then have to hold up to the light and use four pairs of glasses and a magnifying glass to read. Drives me bonkers. Would love to hear other people's disproportionately infuriating petty annoyances.

Hiccups. Having them or hearing someone else with them. Gives me the rage

Multi factorial bastarding authenticator.

When my husband heavy breathes in bed it gives me wild rage

Sound of other people eating - some are worse than others.

When DH makes me a cup of tea, but stirs it with the same spoon he just stirred his coffee with.

Dogs barking makes me rage. Also dog cr*p

Needing petrol

Just bloody everything?

I’ll probably get bashed for this but lately people parking in parent and child bays with no children really grinds my gears. I don’t really know why it annoys me so much 😂

Fair enough. People using disabled parking bays too

Families or even just couples travelling 2 a breast down shopping market aisles at a snails pace

Multiple packers or refill trollies in the supermarket taking up the whole aisle

People who use the shopping trolley as a walker and slouch their body over it, inching along the aisle, sometimes with a limp. A trolley is NOT a mobility aid. Use their FREE electronic wheel chairs, clip on their free massive wheelchair basket trolley and do your shopping.

People prodding me. There's a type of person who pokes you in the shoulder to get your attention, and it makes me absolutely furious.

People typing would of/could of/should of. Other mistakes don't bother me nearly as much but I can't take somebody seriously after that.

The word "staycation"

The school gates being opened later and later in the mornings

Haha - you just described me.

A combination of burnout, anxiety and general fuckeded offness usually results in me slumped over my trolley.

Especially when I am in Aldi and face the prospect of having my shopping thrown at me at the checkout.

I did limp for a whole when my back was bad too.

when you buy a joint of meat and the corner of the label says ‘peel here’ to get cooking instructions.
NEVER NEVER NEVER does the bloody thing peel back.

Out of date posters. The more out of the date the worse it is. How difficult it is to rip it off the door, wall or notice board when it serves absolutely zero purpose.

People that park on pavements, I walk in a country lane round the corner from my home and countless people park on it’s narrow ish pavements forcing me and the dog into the road where oncoming traffic can’t see us. It’s dicing with death. If they parked on the road the oncoming cars would slow considerably in anticipation of another oncoming vehicle and we would be safe on the pavement.

Ive long been mulling over how to stick a polite notice on said cars without being spotted. (And often there’s room to park on their drive).

When people insist on doing absolutely everything with another person and can't do the most basic of things without someone else in tow (mh issues aside)

Or when you have to open the packet to get the instructions… meaning you can’t check in the shop.

Also… the peel here on wrapping paper. Never works and your just waste the paper by ripping it accidentally

Yellow stickers being put over ingredients on reduced food so I can't check allergens. And advertising for events that doesn't give the day of the week (I'm looking at you school newsletter). It matters as our ability to go depends on what day it is and although I can look it up it's more convenient not to have to.

I get really angry with myself almost every morning: DS has food allergies so I make his sandwich first then do mine on the same board with the same knife. Then I realise I need to cut some fruit so I turn the board over and get a new knife for his fruit. Then I realise I forgot DHs sandwich so I make that. Then DS will ask for something like a piece of pineapple but now I've used dairy on both sides of the board so I have to use a new board and another knife. Every single knife gets put on a dirty plate waiting to be washed up before my brain thinks "no don't do that, leave it on the board so you can reuse it."

Fuck me, I create a whole bowl of washing up just making lunch.

Documents written in comic sans.
People who order an ‘Expresso’.
People who slump over their supermarket trolleys rather than standing upright and pushing it with their hands.
The way Priti Patel pronounces her G’s.
People crawling along towards a red traffic light rather than coming to stop and waiting.
Fucking DOGS everywhere.

When people drink out of cups on films or TV programmes and you can tell there is nothing in the cup. Especially disposable coffee cups. They wave them round the place with no care in the world because there is clearly not a hot liquid in it. And then they put them down and you can HEAR the echo of the empty cup. Gives me the absolute fucking rage.

THIS!!!! There's one in my local park from 2015!

YES!
Why do they do it? Just put bloody water in it.
