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

Also meant to include @mumofoneAlonebutokay , again light heartedly! (ducks for cover)

Poor manners - it takes no effort to say please or thank you.
Lazy coworkers who pretend to be all ‘confused’ to basically avoid any work ‘ oh I’m so dizzy I couldn’t possibly do that (hard) work. ‘

Faffers.

I’ve got one in my office.

She is perfectly nice but needs to talk through any slightly complicated piece of work or problematic work encounter and is always so busy.

i feel like screaming, “stop overthinking! Stop bloody chewing the fat and just get some words, any words on a page!”

ahhh, that feels better.

Where I live it's just London - 20mph on a main road 😩 its already slow enough without some uber driver doing like 12 while checking the nav

I always think, park up and check it, please!

Ds sounds like a good driver x

😩😭😭 I don't think so! I'm just annoyed at having to drive slow on a main road in London anyway, then there's always one who refuses to just do 20!

When I'm tootling down a completely empty road at night and a Driver hurls themselves out of a side road causing me to brake, instead of hanging on for the vast emptiness behind me...
.. and then proceeds with extreme caution at a snails pace for the next five miles 🤨

'People who complain about the same thing without doing anything about it. (I'm obviously talking about things you can change).'

This. When they stand in groups insisting to each other that 'it will never change' when it absolutely could and quite easily really.

Chronic people pleasing behaviour. I hate it.

Loads. Including, but not limited to:
People who say "Aren't you brave?" when you've changed your hair colour
People who, on first meeting you, bombard you with personal questions ('Are you married, do you have kids, where do you live)
People that eat too loudly
People that breathe too loudly
Sniffers and hawkers
Constant groaners (get up from chair, groan: lean over to get some, groan)
People that walk too fast
People that walk too slowly
People that say "Ooh I could never [something I do]" (so, be vegetarian, colour my hair, get a piercing)
People that don't appreciate Izzy Hands

Mine are mainly transport based:

People who snort/sneeze/cough/spit on public transport with no tissue in sight who glare when you have the audacity to open a window.

People who leave their bags on seats when there are people standing (not a problem if the train’s half empty).

People who watch videos or listen to music on their phones on public transport without headphones. See also, people who take calls on loudspeaker.

People who chew loudly or make loud mouth noises, whether on public transport or anywhere else.

Manspreading.

Men who think they’re hard when it’s a woman they’re up against but who would be highly unlikely to behave the same way/ say the same stuff to a man.
People, more generally, who get aggressive with NMW retail staff for minor issues they obviously don’t have the power to do anything about. It’s pathetic to watch adults behaving like spoiled little emperors. I am always rooting for the (often young person) to say ‘we don’t serve people who speak to us like that.’ Absolutely boils my piss.

I have a list.

1.Drivers who tailgate me.
2.Cyclists who cycle on the road when the pavement adjacent is a designated cycle track.
3.Drunk people in the pub who drape themselves over you.
4.Helpless women. "I couldn't possibly do that, my husband does that".
5.People who turn every conversation to football/their team.
6.People who sing karaoke. The ones that shouldn't.
7.People who try and make you volunteer. The clue is in the word.

"Mum, that woman on the phone just stared you up and down and laughed"
I didn't see because I was going through my grocery list at the time.
Encountered her in several aisles while completing the shopping. She didn’t make eye contact. It's usually the cowards way of judging an adult goth. Silly woman. I didn’t judge her on her appearance because I’m not a cunt. Couldn't give a damn how she looks. The brass neck of people does make me laugh. They must be viral supermodels. Or y'know so insecure that they have to stage a reaction to someone else for reasons only known to themselves.
Regardless, it's not a me problem. It's a them problem - whatever factors they need to use to judge a person in public. Says a lot about them as a person. I don't believe that black eye make up, facial piercings or tattoos will ever jump off my skin and physically assault someone 😂 maybe I should keep a few strings of pearls handy for people to clutch.

Eternal fucking victims. Everyone is against them/bullying them.

If it happens everywhere you go, can’t you see the issue?!

And they only got their job is bc they know someone. Nothing to do with anything else.

This was going to be my exact post

• loud people
• People who stand about talking about other people
• loud people that raise their voices and screech about other people

All of the above made doubly annoying if done whilst supposed to be employed to do a specific task whilst other people are working really hard.

Tailgaters, especially when I'm doing the limit, or I'm behind someone who's going slowly - getting in my boot isn't going to change the limit or make me break it, nor is it going to make the driver in front of me who's doing 40 in a 60 go any faster. All it'll do is make me back off more from the car in front because if they brake suddenly and I have to and you hit me up the arse I'd rather not plough into them as well.

People who have a dog but have zero knowledge of dog behaviour, and think a wagging tail and leaping on another dog is playfulness and friendly. Nope, it's often an over aroused dog with no social skills either being rude or trying to be dominant and when it leads to a fight they think it must be the other dogs fault or that it came out of nowhere, rarely does it come out of nowhere, the signs are there, you just didn't understand or react to them.

People who cut across the person you're dealing with or serving because they 'just' want a glass of water or to ask a question. Wait your turn like a grown up. You're not more important than any other customer. If the building isn't on fire and there's no one actively dying, what you've got to say has no more importance than the person I'm dealing with already.

There's probably more.

Builders and white van men

People who suddenly stop the conversation with you when someone else comes and talks to that person, then that original person just ignores you as if you were never there and carries on just with the new person. I find it to be very rude to just suddenly be cut out of the conversation like that.

See also: people who constantly monopolize a "conversation" you're having and literally don't you get a word in edgeways, no matter how hard you try! I have walked away from people when this has happened - it seems pointless me being there anyway other then to be talked at.

E: To also add - people who CONSTANTLY are making sniffling sounds with their nose
If you've got something in there (and you can generally tell if it sounds "wet" or not), please for the love of god just blow it, please!

At the moment, people who bring politics into everything. Including their flipping Whatsapp status. Give it a rest already.

Loud voices

People who interrupt or try to side track someone's story with an unnecessary question that could wait. Example.. 'the strangest thing happened last Summer when I was getting a taxi in Dubrovnik.. annoying person: is it nice in Summer there? 'Yes it's very hot, so anyway I was in a taxi and.. annoying person: is it expensive? Etc. So what could have been an interesting anecdote is now just an awkward exchange and most likely never gets finished.

People who tell me about influencers they follow

People who use shyness as an excuse for bad manners and selfish behaviour

Fussy people incl fussy eaters

People who leave doors open esp in the middle of winter after entering a cafe or shop.

Added to that anyone dramatic about whatsapp at all for anything

People who drive too fast. People who park on the pavement leaving no room for pedestrians. People who play loud, thumping 'music' in their cars with the windows wound down. 25 minutes (not an exaggeration!) of adverts and trailers in the cinema before the actual film starts.

Most people are ok, but there are always the ones that will ruin your day.

People who don't listen.
People who barge me to get me to move out of the way.
People who are sexist (men & women!).
People who sre impatient (I work on public transport).
People who point out the obvious thing they see when meeting me to use as an insult (ditto, my job). It's boring and irritating.

Especially when I'm last minute... drongos

Liars
Dog parents (you're an owner, not a parent)
People who are unaware of their privilege (and who don't realise that you can have specific privileges)
Fast fashion addicts
Influencers who have that as their sole personality
Pro-life 'at all cost' folk
Folk who think hating all organised religion makes you phobic (nope, I just hate oppression).
Rude men who think they can talk down to women
Anything related to the orange narcissist
People who burn coal, logs, other random 💩, and pollute the neighbourhood

Have a good day all....that felt momentarily good! 😬
