What is the one thing that other people do that really annoys you?

Mine would be people who constantly sniff when they have a cold and don't blow their nose. I just want to give them a tissue and scream at them to blow their nose. Especially if I'm next to them on a train.

Definitely talking with your mouthful of food- just disgusting!

Everything.
Walk slowly.
Dead stop in the street.
Breathe.
Eat.
Talk.
Tap.
Fidget.
Click pens.
Play shit that should be on headphones too loud.
Drive like arseholes.
The list is endless.

Chewing gum loudly

Cutting in queues

Cancelling last min unless an emergency ie flackiness

Not paying back money
Or giving back items borrowed

Hit the fork off their teeth while eating.

@LadyCrumpet

All of that !!! And more

Cycle on the pavement

Organise random things they expect me to contribute money to

Be in massive tour groups wherever I am

Be late

Say "it's fine" when it isn't. Or "I don't mind" when they do.

For the love of god just be clear about how you feel/what you want.

When people write like I went to park instead of the park. It reads like they're little babies, little tellytubbies or something

Ask me what I’m having for lunch while eating theirs

like I hate it. Why does it concern you 😂 it’s not going to change your lunch . (I also have deep rooted food issues 😅)

You’ve covered it off quite nicely, for me.

I will add:

• Loud forced laughter
• Cyclists who don’t wear helmets, even more so cyclists who don’t put helmets on their also cycling small children.

Oh and parking like 3 inches in front of my car 😂 tired of it

Faffing.

Please for the love of god just do the fecking thing without adding 276 unnecessary steps.

I'm menopausal.

I can't possibly choose ONE thing! 🤬🤣

Be too loud. The volume's been turned up on life in general & I've lost the remote.

Walking in a straight down a street or in the shopping centre and people just walking right in front of me to go into a shop without even acknowledging they’ve cut me off.

I actually did this - a quy came to my house to quote for some tree works. He had already pissed me off by arriving two hours late ( excuse “I was in an important meeting”) then sat at the outside table to prepare the quote leaving me hovering awkwardly and was sniffing every few seconds. I went and got a box of tissues, put them in front of him and said “you clearly need to blow your nose, here are some tissues”.

Other than that like most women of a certain age I am easily annoyed by the sheer existence of other people.

Starting every conversation with 'So'...

Ditto starting with 'I mean'...

Using the word 'gotten' if you're not American. I don't give a shit if it's an old English word, that's not why people are using it today.

Ditto using the word 'pissed' when you mean angry and not drunk.

Also saying you're 'sick' when you mean 'ill'. To me 'sick' will always mean nauseous and not that you have a cold.

Also, 'I had a fight with my friend' when you mean 'argument'. Unless it turned physical it was not a fight.

And last but by no means least, when what seems like 90% of Mumsnetters say, "I don't like confrontation" because someone has suggested they simply communicate politely with another person who has upset them.

If I only get one vote- people who think they are never wrong.

The stopping dead in front of you walking really pisses me off. I went to Aldi the other day and it was fairly busy. The amount of people who would just randomly stop slap bang in the middle of an aisle to check their phone or have a chat was amazing. The total lack of awareness (or care) for what is going on around them.

People talking too much. Explaining the fucking obvious. My DH gives me chapter and verse over the most mundane things. I could say ‘Did you make it to Tesco? Rather than yes or a no, I’d get every tiny detail. He would also tell me the prices of things. That also bores the shit out of me.

Existing, and being in my personal space.

Driving slowly or letting people out when lights are green

Agree I hate 'gotten', talking too much, stopping in front of me

In many Asian cultures it is seen as impolite to blow your nose in public and sniffing is quite acceptable, likewise with spitting.

what annoys me the most is people stopping at the top or bottom of escalators or gathering to chat in doorways of shops etc.
