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

Anyone with left wing views.

People that don't pick their feet up when they walk. Bizarrely, I have observed this to be mostly young girls under ten and men in their twenties! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Jobsworths.

Sniffers. Please blow your nose.

Shriekers. Unnecessary shrieking like a braying donkey over something only slightly amusing.

Timid people. I can't stand drips. Assert yourself!

People who don't say thanks when you hold a door open for them/give way when driving

People who ask your advise, completely ignore it, then ask for your advise again on the same subject and ignore again..

Entitled people who believe the world owes them a living

Laziness

People ( usually men) who expect me to be interested in their child or pet. I’m not.
People who walk 3 abreast on the pavement and expect me to walk into the road.
People who stand in shop doorways, blocking the entrance/exit.
Drivers who think they are too important to get into the correct lane. They then try and cut up the car in front and cause a near miss.
Drivers of huge cars who drive over the white line.
Women who witter on about how great their man is, posting banal nonsense online about him, when we all know he is screwing the neighbour.

People who nag me. Especially when I don’t need to be nagged. (I don’t ever need to be nagged, I’m very organised). Even more so when the nagger pretends they’re being ‘helpful’.

For example, I bought something from Vinted and it was dropped off at my collection point at 9.30am today. I know because I have emails and text messages from both Vinted and InPost telling me it’s available to collect now. The seller messaged me 4 hours later saying “hurray you have it” with a reminder to acknowledge receipt and leave her feedback. I’m at work. In my office. Which is nowhere near my collection point. YOU ARE NAGGING ME! I will collect it later or tomorrow but don’t appreciate being chased when it’s only been a few hours since it was delivered in the middle of a working day. Some of us do have jobs and we can’t just disappear to collect a parcel that it’s taken you a week to post!

People who cannot, or will not, understand that your point of view, likes, dislikes etc. are not the same as theirs and insist that (for instance) EVERYONE likes chilli, EVERYONE loves children, EVERYBODY likes Disneyland, NOBODY believes in God, etc. etc. etc.

Stupid people (see above).

I feel for you. Rural roads are generally national speed limit but of course you drive according to the conditions. 90deg bends are fun if you know about them but not for the faint hearted at 40+ mph.
DS is in Cardiff, I hate 20mph restrictions. You could walk faster. And I suppose at 20mph you can stop far quicker. I have observed that the state of the roads there are appalling and suspect that the speed limit has more to do with saving money rather than lives.
I am the serial speed ticket victim in my family. It’s a standing joke.

People who talk at you rather than to you.
Flaky people who continuously let people down or drop plans at the last minute - they really piss me off.

Oh yes also agree with people who walk 3 or 4 abreast on pavements and expect people coming in the other direction to stop and make way for them rather than them moving over a bit.

People with no spatial awareness of those around them, whether shopping, walking, cycling, driving, swimming, etc. They just do what the hell they want to do and don't give a toss about the people around them who are affected by their selfishness and lack of consideration for others.

Ie today when walking on the canal footpath which is wide enough for two people side by side. A huge group of ramblers was approaching, three abreast so the outside ones were partly walking on the path and partly on the verge. None of them made any attempt at all to go into single file and were clearly expecting me to jump into the brambles/bushes at the side so they could pass me without changing their formation. No bloody chance. I just stood there and made them go into single file, with loads of muttering and complaining as they passed me.

This afternoon in M&S food. An older couple with a big shopping trolley, blocking the aisle, trolley in the middle, and they were stood blocking the passing space idly staring at the shelves. Completely oblivious to people wanting to pass them from both directions and from people also wanting things from the shelves they were blocking. They could easily have parked their trolley at the same side of the aisle as they were standing and made space for other people to pass.

People who say 'oooo it's always the quiet ones!'

Ahh, the invocation of the knowledgeable 'EVERYBODY'

XH used to do this when we argued, e.g:

Me: It's xyz.
XH: Well everybody I know says it should be xzy, not xyz
Me: But it literally is xyz.
XH: No it's xzy, because everybody I know says that.
Me: Well then they're all idiots.
XH: Actually everybody I know says differently.

And so on.

I do this when I’m being tailgated to wind them up (and slow them down!). I am not a slow driver either.

Tailgaters are the worst kind of drivers.

People who use the word "toasty".

People who say they are shy to avoid initiating social chit chat.

No one wants to make the first move

Men who only pay the state mandated minimum child support &
Think that makes them
Exceptional fathers

People who drive who can't grasp that for those of us who can't, it's not always that simple to just get on public transport to get somewhere.

I had a "friend" who wanted to do something with me. Despite me pointing out the train takes 6 hours (no delays) and the hotel was 3 miles away, he didn't get my issue

I'm happy to meet half way a d have friends who are great about this
