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.

So many things.
OTT packaging (toothpaste with a plastic seal around the lid and then a foil cap over the contents...)
People who eat stinking food on trains.
People who watch videos in public without headphones.
People who put their feet on seats in public places.
People who drop litter.
English people who say 'glay-SHER' not GLAcier. Looking at you, DD.
Indecisive drivers.
People who zombie-walk because they're staring at their phones.
Motorists who don't thank you when you've let them out or given way to them when you didn't have to.
Motorists who change lanes without indicating.
People who post politics on FB when all you want to do is look at dog photos.
People on SM who want you to share something to show you care about cancer or autism or whatever.
And the officious little twerpl who confiscated my sewing scissors at airport security, even though they were well within the guidelines (I had fucking CHECKED).

People, basically. People annoy me. I should go and live alone on an island.

The shuffle dance.

Most things, to be honest!

There is one specific thing - Dh leaves things slightly open, not quite done up, ajar. He's like it with drawers, windows, cupboard doors, jar lids, packets, boxes, you name it, he doesn't finish the job. I don't know why, it's like he starts doing it and then loses interest half way through.

I know we don't need to socially distance but people who stand too close in line. Especially when I've been asked for some personal details by the receptionist

Ah yes. My DH too. Learned his lesson when he put a 1mm turn on the honey jar lid and I picked it up, only for it drop from my fingers straight onto his favourite mug, smashing it, leaving me holding only the lid and a bemused expression.

People who spend ages taking photos in tourist areas. At the start of the day I might wait or walk round , but later on no, I will walk straight through your shot.

It’s the ones who have the whole family gathered at it or allow the 7 year old to lift the cases that annoy me

"This one" "My World" "Date Night"

The latter especially when it is with one of their kids ffs.

See also "In love with" when referring to an inanimate object. Loathe that one.

Would of, could of, should of, alot, abit and ect.

Dh asking me a question, zoning out whilst I answer, and then asking me the same bloody question again.

Isn’t that a verb/noun thing though? I say REsearch for the noun eg I’ve done my research but reSEARCH for the verb eg I’m going to reSEARCH how people pronounce research!

Noisy breathers are very irritating!

I often saw that on a forum for carers of people with dementia. The poor things were desperate for a ‘bite’ of rest, so although I’m a fully paid up grumpy old pedant, I could forgive it in those circs.

People On Social Media That Type Like This With Every Word Starting In A Capital Letter…

Oh god. Similarly the parents of a small child of about 5 who held up the queue in the buffet restaurant of an all inclusive resort, while said child slowly, laboriously signed its name and room number on the registration book. Meanwhile the parents beamed round at everyone, clearly expecting admiration of their precious offspring - “that’s right darling - curly Cuh now… lovely… oh clever boy! Now the number… remember what room number we are? No, not quite… nearly… what comes AFTER 19? Yes! That’s right! Can you remember how to write a number two…?”

That 'background' music played in shops, cafes, restaurants etc seems to be getting louder and louder. It's so overstimulating and I feel so stressed and frazzled because of it. It just seems to be a standard thing now?

Anytime I need to use a printer I know it will be a disaster. It won't work, or it will say there's no paper when there is, or it will make endless printer sounds but nothing will actually happen. I fucking hate printers.

Can I add in the word ‘hun’ for things that are just grrrrrr.
But some people use it to people they don’t know. I have had it a few times when I have sold something on Facebook. Okay hun I will be there at 10am to collect it. I AM NOT YOUR HUN!!!!

seriously we need these threads daily. People like me who are peri menopausal… it’s very therapeutic.

It is 6.26am. I have been up for half an hour and even the cat has annoyed me. And breathe

People who ask questions on FB that could easily be answered by putting the same question in Google. Especially if it's a group where your posts have to be approved

Initialised items on websites where each letter has it's own pic & link instead of ONE with the option to choose the letter! Makes me rawrrrrr!! 25 unnecessary pics for EACH necklace/pencil case/cup taking up space and making me scroll like I'm on wheel of fortune!!

My husband leaving things to soak in the sink 🤢 😷 coming down to a sink of brown ugly water with floaty things in it when they really didn't need to soak but he just couldn't be arsed with the dishwasher.
My husband not cleaning the coffee machine yesterday when he used it 🤢
My husband not switching the tumble dryer on last night (as requested!) 😡 so I now have a delay in my washing today! (I get quite up tight about my washing in the winter)
There's a theme here. All of this was pre 630am.

My cat using the litter tray for a big shit when he has half an acre of prime garden only ten steps away. Lazy bastard.

Yes, and ‘comfy’ seems to be replacing ‘comfortable’, e.g, I found this situation uncomfy

Bloody mumbling dialogue in films, especially American ones. They often speak so quietly whilst dreadful loud music drowns any speech out or are incoherent and mumble, speaking so quickly only the odd word is decipherable. Many films don't have subtitles which do help.

Slow walkers
Slow drivers
Bossy coworkers on the same level as me
Performance parenting
Badly applied make up

I'm sure I could think of more

This! I had someone practically breathing down my neck in the chemist the other day. I even did the fake cough which seemed to make them back off slightly 😱

I follow someone on Twitter whose son usually farts if people stand too close!
