What trivial things get on your nerves?

[InSearchOfMartin]

Sentences that end with xxxx, right? xxxx, no? xxxx, yes? It not only looks wrong (maybe I should be on Pedant's Corner!) but it tells you you cannot disagree.

Just stuff that doesn’t work. The fucking laptop at work decides whether or not to switch itself on or not. That’s its only job. It’s not pretty to look at it doesn’t have any other reason for being.
My slippers have got slippery bottoms, I can’t go in the kitchen wearing them. I hoped Santa would bring me a new pair but he didn’t.

Whole families who stand next to it. It only takes one person to get a suitcase... (exception for a single adult with a small child, as obviously you can't leave them alone!)

When my coat/cardigan pocket catches on the door handle. I have instant irrational RAGE.

I hear you 😉 🙄🙄🙄🙄

The Youtube accent.

'and I'm gonna go in with...'

At the moment I am very irritated by the fact that I have just opened the dishwasher to find that I didn't press "start" when I went to bed last night. Even worse is the fact that I am the only person at home currently so I can't blame anybody else!
But one of my regular irritations I also dishwasher related - dirty crockery left on top of it, even when it is empty. Drives me mad!

People who take photos of their food. I hate it when I go out for a meal and feel like the hog who is already digging in while my friend is taking photos.

I can understand if it's food that looks particularly pretty - like a beautiful birthday cake that someone has made or a Michelin Star meal that is special but one friend that I'm thinking of will take a photo of her hot chocolate in a cafe or send me photos of her dinner. Just fucking EAT IT! FGS!

Aforementioned meal wasn't particularly pretty either. Just burgers and chips! Why do we need photographic evidence of it?

Why lightbulbs aren’t universal.

Bayonet, screws, fat bottoms, thins bottoms, spotlights with weird screws, without weird screws. Horrid cold white light ones.

It usually takes at least 2 false starts before I purchase the right one. The others get shoved in the drawer of regret.

Repetitive threads on Mumsnet.

Thread topics that pop up at least weekly.

Heavenly birthday on social media.🤢🤢

People who sing along to the music being played in shops. I'm probably a terrible person.

Cables, chargers, leads... got millions but never the right one....
Dog shit.

Urgh yes!

Also, people who start social media posts with "when..."

e.g "When you've just got ready to go out and your little one gets chocolate on your clothes" or "When your husband buys you flowers just because he loves you"

Argh!!!!

Leaf blowers. Really, really hate the whining, unnecessary, loud sound. They are useless, too. I want to go outside and arrest the people using them. I’m not in the police force.

1. People who dont use headphones while listening to their phone while in public.

2. People who refuse to put their phone to their ear when having a conversation and use the loudspeaker instead.

3. People who video call all the time.

4. People.

Most faddy, irritating phrases used on social media.

"this one" instead of a persons name "Date night with this one" 😠

Using the word "cosy" to describe anything remotely comforting - films, a candle, a book. They're not "cosy" FFS.

People who say "it's giving..." 😡

Oh yes, "Happy heavenly birthday xxxx, you would of been 117 today", erm no you wouldn't!

Oh my god I can't stand video calls.

Unless you're away from home for a long time, live abroad or don't see someone very often, why do you need to video call instead of ring???

Some members of my family do this (I see them regularly!) and then they just leave the phone on the kitchen side and wander round doing the dishes / serving dinner whilst they're talking. So bloody irritating. I just hang up 😂

Even worse when people do it in public.

Yes! And car drivers who creep slowly forward at red traffic lights. Stop and put your handbrake on please!

Cryptic posts on social media drive me bonkers
anyone who does not speak plainly and explain their post should be banned

OMG this makes me cringe!!!

Also, I have friends on social media who post about places they have been like they're people. For example:

"Well, what a weekend! Thank you Blackpool for sharing with us your beauty, your sunsets and views were a wonder! We've had such an amazing time and great memories were made..." 🤮

I adore my friends in RL but not so much on social media. I find them really irritating 😂.

Yes, I'm a horrible person and yes I need to come off FB. Although I only check it really for local news and businesses and sell stuff.

Sorry, I can't help it!

Just this second taken a photo of one to send to my ds to see if it’s his.

A lead I mean not a dog shit 😀

Or your belt loops😡
