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.

Be too noisy and inconsiderate.

Tbh I find most things most people do annoying and more and more the older I get. I just think a lot of people are loud, rude, totally thoughtless about anyone else and irritating. I like my few people.

@JamSandle I'm with you there! 🌸

Obviously it really annoys me obviously when people say 'obviously' about every three words. I work with someone who really does do it that often.

We have a teacher friend who tries to get her little charges to 'talk proper' and not 'Wiltshire yokel' (as she calls it; she comes from Westbury herself!). She told us how her 7 year olds say 'Please Miss, can I go a toilet?' or 'I need to go a wee'. She said 'I'd like to say "No, until you ask properly", but I'm scared they'll wet themselves'. Needless to say, DH and I say 'go a toilet' now...

People who answer a question with "absolutely" instead of "yes".
People who answer a question with "okay, so...."

Usually full of themselves and utter bores.

Came to say this, glad it's the first comment!

That and noisy eaters. I broke off a relationship once that was perfect in every other way because of this, gave me the ick massively.

Leave taps running in public toilets

Refer to contacting someone as reaching out. Ffs...🤬

I knew someone from Keynsham (in Somerset) who hated people doing what she called 'chamming', which, she said, was chewing your food with your mouth open, and which, she said, people from the rough part of Keynsham did. I've never met anyone who does this.

There's more! 🤣

I need to go toilet! No, you don't need to "go toilet" you need to go to the toilet. Why are people suddenly leaving parts of sentences out? It drives me insane!
People in supermarket car parks that seem like they're going straight on, but suddenly slam the brakes on and start to reverse when I'm right behind them! What the hell, I can't reverse, as there's now a queue behind me!
Happened this morning, there were lots and lots of empty spaces, but no, he suddenly decided he wanted to be there!
Middle lane hoggers on motorways. Nothing in the inside lane, I can't undertake, so now in effect, you've created another middle lane hogger!
Driving instructors who have vehicle defects especially bulbs out. They should be the ones who are on top of that. Yes, I appreciate that these things can happen whilst out and about. But there was one in my area, that had the same bulb out of action for at least two weeks!
Drivers speeding down country lanes and/or past horses.
People who tell you the ins and outs of their hobby, when they know you have absolutely zero interest in it. How to play, what the scores mean etc. If I was that interested, I'd have taken it up myself!
Friends who tell you their relatives entire medical history and what's been going on, what medication they're on, what they're planning on going to the GP with next... I really, really only asked how they were in the general sense! I'm interested in what's been going on with you, not your mother/sister/brother/cousins mother in laws husband!
Women who deny they're in the menopause, when all the symptoms they are having, at the age they are, are screaming that exact thing! Embrace it, it's lovely to finally not give a shit about pussyfooting and it's fabulous to be intolerant and have no patience for BS!
I am no longer a walk over and I am finding now that I'm out of the other side, it's very freeing! 😁

People who start every sentence or answer to a question with "So" usually folled by a bit of a pause before we get the actual answer.

It saddens me in my area we have our own local words and we're trying to preserve these but children are more likely to come out with American words than the local ones.

Being interrupted, then told to continue after they’ve finished. No!! You’ve ruined it now 😂

Ooh great post! I’m a crabby so and so with a long list!

Yep, incessant sniffing
Noisy eating, especially gum chewing.
People who are always late.
Loudness.
People who can’t just order what’s on the menu ‘eh I’ll have a Big Mac without the cheese, or the sauce or pickles or salad’. So it’s not really Big Mac you want is it?
Casual references to undiagnosed serious mental health conditions, the worst is ‘oh I like everything in its right place, I’m a bit OCD like that’ or ‘I think he’s little bit on the spectrum’.
Bad grammar and spelling.
Playing music on phone in public without earphones.
Spitting.
Littering.
Dog owners not picking up their dogs poop.

Loud chewing/chomping food.
Snoring.
Bad drivers - they're usually indecisive, slow, veering into other lanes, on the phone or all of the above.
Drivers who sit in the middle lane on the motorway.
People who walk along glued to their phone, oblivious to the impact their lack of pace and sense of direction is having on others.
Unnecessary sniffing. Get a tissue.
Garlic breath early in the morning. Surely you know you smell if you ate something full of garlic the night before?!
Colleagues who cold call you on Teams, even when your red light is on, suggesting you're in a meeting.
People who use too many words. Get to the point.

People who walk slowly and stop dead infront of you or saunter infront of you with absolutely no awareness of their surroundings.

People thinking that their bags deserve a seat on public transport. If the tram/train is busy there is no way I am standing if your bag is occupying a seat
People playing anything loudly on phones in public. Amazing how many people stop this when I do exactly the same right near them.
People who walk into me because they are too busy with their phone. I am not getting out of your way if you are not looking where you are going.
I used to put up with a lot of stuff and now I fight back against antisocial behaviour.

It really irritates me when people rub their card on the Oyster reader.

You only need to tap.

No idea why it irritates 😄

Oh me too @Zoflorabore I'm constantly muttering 'I'll just guess which way you're going then, shall I?' to myself whilst driving. I'm actually shocked at how many poor drivers there are on the roads these days.

Why do people do this??? so weird imo @alloalloallo Also I've noticed a newish trend where people will just swear aggressively no matter what's happened. I.e someone barges rudely past me/shoulder barges me - so I probably give them a 'look' (I'm 49 and peri M so I'm good at glaring 🤣) & their immediate response is 'what the f is your problem?' or ' what the f are you looking at?'

I don’t know if I’ll be able to word this correctly but I know someone who ‘disagrees’ with everything you say but then will repeat the same opinion in her own words. I say something, she scoffs and says ‘omg nooo’ or ‘it’s not even that! It’s more like….’ and then will say the same thing I said in a different way? It’s really irritating and I wonder are you just stupid or do you think I’m stupid?

Me: These berries aren’t very fresh
Her: WhAAAAAt?? Noooo… it’s more like they’re just not in season, the ones last week were much nicer.

OK SO WE AGREE!!! Stop scoffing and saying no!

People who whip their phones out to film anything and everything, particularly something terrible then uploading it onto social media.
They should have their bloody phones rammed up their arses..... sideways!

It's been mentioned several times, but people having phone conversations on loudspeaker. I don't want to know intimate details of what you did last night, thanks.

One that is very specific to me because I wear hearing aids (deaf from birth), but people who are prescribed hearing aids but refuse to wear them because "my hearing is fine". No, it is not. If it was fine you wouldn't have been given hearing aids. As someone who HAS to wear hearing aids, it really does get my goat that people think it's a choice - I didn't choose to have hearing problems, but I wear my hearing aids because I want to participate in normal life thank you very much.

Watching videos on loud on devices. Use earphones!

People who don't listen properly to the question you've asked. So you have to repeat simple question 3/4 times. Just listen 😡
