The type of person that p*sses you off (semi lighthearted)

[Ltroim]

2 types of people that particularly annoy me

1. people who will say hello/acknowledge you one minute and ignore you the next….we know each other, you know you know me and I know you, just say hello.
2. people you have met before and chatted with (say in the workplace) who’ve asked you about yourself and then when you meet again they ask the same question and then the next time the same again…”oh how many kids have you and what age”…”5 year old twins”….a month later “oh you’ve kids what age?…”5 year old twins” and so on and so far. Not expecting you to remember every detail of my life but a significant enough fact like that would be good

People who are selfish. Happy to take from you but no reciprocation. Usually the same ones who are so tight it's infuriating.

Aren't we all.

Mansplainers. I participate in an overwhelmingly male-dominated hobby. You can imagine what that's like some of the time.

People who are always right.
They can tell you that the grass is blue in the sky is green and they are so certain of it and they never back down, so sure of themselves that they are correct.
When you finally convince them that what they have said is wrong all they can muster up is an "oh".

People who whinge about being busy but then sit and spend long periods chatting at work - if you’re so busy just crack on with it!

Those who offer to help but when you need it they’re just so busy (but they expect help in return when they’re struggling - and I never say no, I just work extra).

People with no spatial awareness - you open a door for them and they barge straight through without even smiling or saying thanks. Or they walk into you because they can’t be bothered to watch what others around them are doing.

Married men who lie about their life at home whom you can see grooming young women at work to idealise them and sleep with them (watched it happen far too often).

The really negative people. Everything's always "an issue".

Also ( not sure of the word) but the people that have a parental tone about everything. Fuck off love, I'm all over it already and don't need "reminders".

People who make their illnesses their whole personality. And moan constantly about what they can and can't do, when you know full well all about it! And especially so, when those illnesses seem to miraculously go away when they really want to do something! I know a couple of people with "convenient" illnesses. I'm not in the best of health myself and there is a lot of stuff I really can't do any more and I would love to be able to. It bugs me when people put it on for attention and sympathy. It feels like they're taking the piss out of genuine folk who prefer to suffer in silence.
I agree with the crawling car drivers lately! I was driving home from my friends, 20 miles away and I swear, as the one in front turned off, I ended up being behind another one! It happened about 4 times in that journey, I was bloody glad to get home!
Trolley abandoners in supermarket aisles! Just take it with you to the item you've gone back to get! Most times the trolley has bugger all in it!
People who are too slow at saying pass on The Chase!!!

People whose entire personality is performative business. They’re always on the go, can’t possibly sit still even for a moment and insist 4 hours of sleep a night is more than adequate. They must also tell everyone how busy they are at all times, otherwise they’ll simply combust.

The reversing of the MSM rule to manœuvre, signal, probably no mirrors, who can tell? Lots of these in Melbourne.

I have a neighbour who is the very definition of net curtain twitcher. She stands in the dark at the bedroom window watching other people in their homes across the road, unaware that a street light is highlighting her shape and she is clearly visible! She then complains that the people at No 55 'walk around naked'; that No 57 is unkempt ('they're so lazy'), the folk at No 59 don't get up until lunchtime. Blah blah bloody blah. It never occurs to her that as these neighbours are paying the rent/mortgage that they can choose to do whatever floats their boat. I have blackout blinds so I haven't a scooby-doo what anyonelse is doing and I'm not interested either. Happily, she can't see into my home!

Virtue signallers
TRAs
Attention seekers
People who invent... their "own",,, punctuation ~styles
Chronically poor time-keepers
People who are inconsiderate on public transport
Liars

collegues

they moan at you for eg doing x, then do the same themselves when suits

then expect you to put the team first, eg time keeping for pickup or heading off from the job, but then are late at different times themselves

its like do as you do but then why moan at me etc

People in the supermarket who take up too much space - not because of their size, but due to the way they stand. They sort of dominate an area and you can't get past, or get the items you need. I call them expansives because they expand to fit the space. They're usually men or the more middle class women.

People who drive too slowly.

Dementors.

You know, the ones for whom life is a vale of tears. The ones who can turn every happy thing, cute occurrence, funny anecdote into “it’s a worry” <big sigh>
They suck the joy and hope out of life.

My mother in law replied to a photo of her grandchild laughing as a 6 year old with “happy as the day is long in those days, but now an adult and a world away from a carefree life, with an adult’s worries and woes…”

I mean, pass the hemlock. We might as well end it all now.

(Adult Grandchild is happy and thriving, by the way)

Especially if you've gone out your way to give way just because you wanted to be kind that day only to have the slowest driver in front of you now and no way to overtake 😭

Many types piss me off, I'm a pretty irritable person.
The latest one, off the top of my head, is 'Performative Cool Mad Parent'.
She collects her teen from a sports club, so we're usually both in the foyer together for about 20' along with other adults and staff, and she'll speak to her younger (quiet) teen really loudly so we can all hear her super casual opinions, and then the sporty teen will flounce out multiple times for no apparent reason other than to wail about something to the mum, who usually bellows something like "OH WHAT ARE YOU LIKE" and it turns into a whole performance that gets repeated every. single. week... I actually nearly rolled my eyes this week, but felt bad about it so went outside to get a grip wait, and guess what?! They came out (didn't see me lurking behind the bus stop) and were conversing at normal volume.
Fucking KNEW it.

People who drop litter

Unauthorised Drivers who park in disabled parking spaces

Two faced people and people who just constantly talk about themselves.

Omg yes 😭 the literal definition of no good deed!

I drive slowly when people drive up my arse. We recently had a high speed rear end collision. DS was driving so he was driving at the speed limit ( he’s 20 so it’s obligatory), the car three cars ahead of us stop suddenly to turn without indicating. DS had left enough space to stop safely, the car behind us hadn’t.
Big lessoned learned for DS who realised why you leave sufficient stopping space. He had but is still at that road rage stage.
I’ve only just got rid of the whip lash.

The road we live on has a lot of blind bends and hidden junctions, so you really have to pay attention it also does not quite have enough room for two cars in some spots. If you were driving up close and personal behind me I would probably slow down instinctively because it’s dangerous.

Its also really entertaining, you can tell within half a mile if the car following knows the road, the first 90 deg bend scares the shit out of them. DS & I don’t brake. We then leave them for dust.

I know the exact type you mean! Very annoying

Fathers who look after their own children for 2/168 hours a week and expect help / support / admiration from everyone else around them as they announce loudly that they are “ babysitting for the wife “.

Men who arrive at the school 3 mins before the bell rings and park their bog pick up truck on the zig zags immediately outside the gate - you know, the ones that are there to stop kids getting killed. Or who park up on the pavement so mums / grans with buggies / wheelchair users have to go on the road.

The dads who expect to skip the queue of mums waiting to see the teacher at school parents’ evening because their time is so much more valuable.

Dads who attend school sports matches and scream and shout at their kid ( and others ) from the sidelines.

Parents who attend these excruciating school performances ( drama, orchestra , choir etc ) and sit and chat loudly through it all , until their child comes on and then clap very loudly and cheer and shout “ well done Jodie “. Then secretly record the performance ( in breach of safeguarding rules) and put it on Facebook / YouTube with the title “ Jodie performs in Blogstown High School show “. Then are amazed that the school know who to contact to ask them to take it down.

People who are unapologetically rude and blunt. The ones who have no self-awareness and just blame other people for being too sensitive.

People that only talk about themselves.

People can borrow and don't return.

People that exclude in a group

If you keep encountering slow drivers, could it possibly be, you are going too fast? (remember this thread is light hearted, though I will get my flameproof gear just in case!)
