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.

Talk about how well behaved their kids are…

Spoiler, they are never well behaved.

Another vote for the people who don't know how the contactless system works and will try to move their card slowly in front of the reader which makes the payment not go through, or rub their card over the whole reader, or hold the card really fast somewhere in the vicinity of the reader or...just everything really.

They are contactless, not psychic. Put the card on the right bit of the reader and give it time to register.

When your name is in front of people and every time they spell it how they think it should be spelt and not the way I spell it

Virtue signalling.

Pleading poverty when they see anything but poor.

People who endlessly ask questions so that you feel interrogated. I do push back to their annoyance. They then try and ask the same question several different ways. I’m still not going to tell you!

One regular guest buts into what a clearly private conversations and demands to know what we are talking about.

Didactic know it alls!

Hypocrites. One person I know considers herself to be a good catholic but she moans endlessly about some of the people that come to church just because they come from one part of the country she was born in.

Gosh! This has been cathartic 😂😂😂.

It's an oldie, but misuse of "literally", especially when the hit rate is every other sentence. Ahggg!!

Arranging a meet up with girlfriends. One replies 24 hours after every one else with 4 separate WhatsApp messages

  • Hang on, let me check
  • Just need to make sure it doesn’t clash with my Christmas party
  • Actually that’s on 14th
  • Yes I can do 9th

Arrrhhhg. Just send the last one. All the others are irrelevant.

Postmen that put cards in the letter box that say they tried to deliver a parcel. They didn’t try I was here all day.

Women who hover over a toilet seat to urinate. Sit the fuck down and stop getting piss everywhere!

Saying free for three. Ffs, speak properly. They refer to completely different amounts. 🙄

@marshmallowfinder The Beast on The Chase for example! It drives me insane. Firty free fousand pounds!!! Gggrrrr!!!

the80sweregreat · 18/02/2025 19:09

The Beast from the chase is meant to be a bit of a ' character' in real life (being kind)
I also hate how smug he is ( although he does normally win tbf , grr)

Watch stuff on their phones without headphones! So bloody rude and entitled

perhapsatea · 18/02/2025 23:24

People on here who strike through text believing it's clever/amusing - it's not, it's annoying! Especially when there are whole sentences of it! Just say what you've got to say!!
