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.

Middle lane drivers 🤬🤬🤬 God bloody dammit, I am a mild mannered woman but when I see one of those dozy bastards tootling along, without care and abandon, with the left hand lane empty ….. GAHHH

It would be ridiculous for mobile people to use a supermarket wheelchair in a supermarket. Slouch all you like!

People stopping right in front of me while walking.

People standing in the entrance/exit of a shop.

People who write brought instead of bought.

Lately on here it's been the number of threads where people cannot understand that quite a lot of people are perfectly happy to have one child. Furthermore, the same people seem to view having an only child as a form of neglect. It really bugs me as I don't judge others for having more than one.

Tins without ring pulls.

Letters for people who haven't lived in my home for more than 10 years, despite returning said letters regularly explaining this.

My dad had cancer but still wanted to go to the market. He wanted to be useful.
THERE WERE NO ELECTRONIC WHEEL CHAIRS.

God damn him, though, for slouching over the trolley - amirite?

@DreamTheMoors I'm sorry about your father, but you have completely misunderstood the purpose of the entire post!

I agree about the use by dates especially on some vegetables. Carrots, for example, get black spots in the fridge really quickly these days.

I don't think she has. She's telling you an example of why it happens. Maybe you'd understand more and mind less.

@marmaladeandpeanutbutter Maybe you have misunderstood the entire post too, which is 'Minor irritations that drive you disproportionately nuts'

YES- I'm very aware people have disabilities and others reasons for doing the things they do! Again- that is not the purpose of the post!

Everything at the moment bloody perimenopause 😡

Dog mess on the footpath. Why can’t the owners pick it up, or better still, get to the park so that it doesn’t have to touch the footpath?! Disgusting.
💩 🐕

Women riding horses slowly, two a breast and chatting on our local roads. Either go to a field and give the horse good exercise, or go to a cafe for a cuppa and a chat.

Driving at 20mph in Wales!!

A receptionist at my work put high importance flags on emails that couldn’t in any sensible way be described as urgent or important. Like an email about what your sandwich preference is for a lunch time meeting next Thursday. It makes me want to go round to reception and lob her laptop out the window.

But obviously I don’t. Because our windows don’t open.

Sky and GMTV playing their repetitive theme music while someone reads the headlines- actually it’s probably more like half the bloody bulletin- over the top. Why, just why?! What purpose does it serve? Other than to drown out the news?! I’ve no idea what’s being said.

The phrase “two a breast” - I don’t know why but it really irritates me and sounds really pretentious

hearing people chew their food

people using the phrases ND or NT. I hate those labels. It sounds inhuman. I have ADHD and much prefer that label

People who state that other people's behaviour might be due to mental health issues. It might not be, some people are just walkers.

I don’t get the slumping over trolley thing. What difference does it make to your life? All the other things on this thread actually impact the poster in some way.

I’m going to add TK Maxx price stickers. I just spent 10 minutes trying to get one off a present for my mother and it still looks shit.

People who don't wave thanks when you let them through.

Everyone else on the A55.

Parents who allow their older children to sit in the supermarket trollies, complete with shoes on and see nothing wrong in it.

Banking app verification

I just want to buy some cat food/a phone charger / some leggings off of an entirely normal website that I have used many times before.

WHY must I now log in to my banking app and verify the fecking purchase. Every time. I've given you my thumbprint and Google pay and the 3 numbers off the back of my card, isn't that ENOUGH?!

Yes yes I know it's a security thing but any old random could walk into Asda and buy all of the above with a tap of my card and nary a backward glance!

When people say pacifically instead of specifically - and I don't think that's even wrong, iirc, I'm just a dick and think 'that's the wrong word' every time. Its not like it harms me, why am I so bothered

The way that people in TV dramas never say "goodbye" before hanging up the phone.

Vendors on Facebook Marketplace who don't respond to my politely-worded enquiry about their item. I've been looking for a few bits recently for our house and it's taken a ridiculously long time for each item because so many people either don't even read my message (I was looking at one I'd sent in July today...still unread!) or, worse still, read it but don't respond, even when I hopefully resend the next day. It would only take seconds to type " it's gone" and then I can look elsewhere. And it's so rude to leave people hanging like that!

Brain fog, son asked me a simple question and I was like
