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.

I cannot STAND people pleasing passive aggressiveness.

Just tell me the bloody truth- if you dont want to meet up or help me with something or do something then just be honest - you can still be polite about it. Eg "thanks but I cant do that, I have plans/am busy/ have an appointment" etc

Dont agree to it, promise stuff and then flake at the last moment with some lame ass excuse. It's FAR more annoying, rude and inconvenient than just saying no in the first place. I wish people would realise this.

Yes, I agree with this. Pointing out the obvious in general makes you look like a stupid twat anyway.

Eg "you're tall"- wow am I? I had no idea, why did noone tell me this, this is brand new information!

Dickheads.

People who stick out their tongues on photos. So many people nowadays can't have their photo taken without their tongue hanging out their mouth like a Labrador, or the tip of it poking out like a spiteful child

Yeah I dont get this either and their tongue always looks rank and coated and revolting voms

or making the bloody peace sign!

It's as if they can't think what to do with their hands so they do this.

Boring tediously normal things framed as "cheeky" on Facebook.

"Just having a cheeky wine!"

It's a bog standard glass of wine. Not a whoopee cushion.

I don't spend much time with others so I don't think day to day ticks and habits like sniffing bother me, only bc I'm not near anyone for long enough!
The only thing that annoys me is someone who I don't know and I have barely met telling me to do something. Because it's their job. Not because it's right for me to do it or would make me happier.

Sorry I can't do just one.

Speaking loudly on the mobile in a restaurant / cafe. Leaving your restaurant / cafe table like a bombsite. Non- service Dogs in shops / cafes or referred to as children.
If you have worked hard and sacrificed all your life to get a good job / lifestyle, you are classed as lucky and privileged, like it was gifted to you and you should be embarrassed about it!
Lack of basic manners is shocking - and honestly teenagers I've experienced on the whole have been pleasant / helpful, 30-40's seem to be the worse. Cavet - I have children, a dog and in the later age group.

People who have no manners on public transport and talk out loud on mobile phones

Oh my God this thread was written for me. Almost every single one listed

I don't THINK I'm repeating anything:
Interrupting
Strangers getting way too far into my personal space when there's actually no need. Packed tube where there's no choice, fine. OTHERWISE...
Lack of spatial awareness in charge of a shopping trolley, or where they are blocking ALL THE SHELVES with it and nobody can get near
When I'm just having a quiet sit reading my book and people want to have a conversation

Just a point to note I play a little game with myself when walking. I think there's a certain gait to people walking while using their phone. So as I pass a suspect, to see if I'm correct (usually am)

With people getting in the way generally I also frequently have the phrase in my head "you make a better door than a window, love" even if I'm not quite using it correctly ref actual line of sight

At my favourite pub the bar staff frequently enquire how many fuckwits have I seen out and about that day because they are aware of my tolerance levels

I have anger issues 😁

I'm pretty tolerant of other people.
So I can't list anything for this thread.
OTOH, I get lots of complaints for my petty habits that wind people up.
I could list them... but doesn't matter.
I just try to stay away from the complainers.

People that stop and chat in the middle of the aisle in supermarkets.

People that say “I see Bob today” instead of “I saw Bob today”

People that have “Cheeky Nando’s” 🙄

What angers me more than anything is definitely people that insist their dog is ‘lovely’ and won’t put him/her on a lead when asked and then their ‘lovely’ dog attacks mine. That will always piss me off more than anything. Ignorant dog owners 😡

I have loads.

But one of them is my sister's detailed stories about her encounters with staff in the bank or insurance company or whatever. Why can't she just give me the short version?

I get that when we go to the beach. It could be 3 miles long and yet within 10 minutes of me sticking up the windbreaker some cunt and his family have plonked their loud arses within 20 feet of us.

I don't get it. I just don't get it.

Is it some passive aggressive thing or just a complete lack of awareness of personal space? Answers on a postcard please.

One solution is to get the kids to immediately dig big holes in the sand around where we sit. Generally works but what a way to live eh.

Picking nose and eating it!

And

People saying 'it's my bad'

I hate sniffing too, i wonder if it is down to snorting too much white powder.

People who stop when they get to the foot of an escalator, while they decide where to go next. Zero awareness of the pile up of people on a moving machine behind them.

Playing videos/music/games on phones in public without headphones 😡😡

People who start a sentence by saying "I'm not being rude, but..." when they're about to be rude, same with "I'm just being honest" 🙄

Monday morning everyone in the office asking me if I had a good weekend 😬
What would they say if I said no!

Lady I share an office with gives a constant commentary of what she’s doing. Very very annoying.

People who always order 3 courses including steak and a bottle of wine, while you order the cheapest thing on the menu and drink tap water, then insist on splitting the bill because 'it all evens itself out in the end'. No it fucking doesn't!!!

People who question what you are having for lunch. 'Is that all you're having', and people who seem personally offended if you try and order a soft drink on a night out because you don't want to get plastered.
Just eat your own lunch, and have your own drink and mind your own business!
Also people with nice straight hair, who sneer 'it isn't even raining' when you have your hood up in the drizzle because yours will turn into a brillo pad if it gets wet.

People who fake-surprise you eg

They didn't have that wine you wanted at the shop.... oh! ....pause... just kidding! tada!

Or

How did so and so get on with their test?
They failed :(
Oh shame :(
Not really! Passed with flying colours!

Don't know if it's just a family thing :)

People who chew loudly and/or chew with their mouth open. Makes me feel queasy.

People who play pranks.

Ex colleague could never give a straight answer to anything and was always saying and doing stupid stuff.

Couldn't understand why he didn't get a permanent job with us.
