Things that irritate you irrationally

[NoEffingWay]

People who use their phones in the cinema

When links to websites don't work

When companies only have email addresses and then no one responds to your email

When videos on tiktok or Instagram are dragged out over 5 videos when one would suffice

How service station drinks are 3 times the price!

@HeartandSeoul weird spelt as wierd winds me up! Also things like could of instead of could have.

But yes my grammar isn't perfect either.

As a pp said, people who don't move up in queues, though I know I won't get my turn any quicker if they do.
People who use the term AITA on Mumsnet. It's not Reddit.
Twee abbreviations like 'comfy', 'tummy', 'brolly', and the worst one of all, 'botty'. 😬I know it shouldn't matter, but they make my teeth squeak.
People who don't put the light on when it starts going dark outside.
Yawning out loud - you know, that drawn-out 'Uh, uh, uh, uuuuuhhhh' thing some people do. Bonus irritation points if the person tries to talk through the yawn as well.
Crooked furniture placement, e.g. coffee table not parallel to the sofa.
The One Show.

Settings menu, find "ingredients", flick through and find the actual list

I work in a restaurant and I’m 100% with you on this!!
If I’m on a breakfast shift we have the cereal bowl scraper, the yoghurt pot scraper and the tea cup stirrer followed by the teaspoon tapping on the edge of the cup…Aarrgghhh!!!

My teeth are ground to powder with all this unnecessary noise!!

99% of ‘offenders’ are men…

They also whistle in the restaurant!

People who string out meetings by constantly saying 'so as I said...'

People who leave toothpaste halfway up the sink. People who squeeze the toothpaste tube from the middle not the bottom 🤣

People who constantly sniff on trains or any public transport.....i give them a packet of tissues 🤣

Mine is more about winter. I like winter just fine. I enjoy dressing for winter. But I'm so tired of putting on my boots and either my tights or socks getting pulled up tight as I wrangle my foot into the boot. It always works out, the tight or sock readjusts, but for just that moment I'm minimally irritated.

The mispronunciation of the Scottish word Loch it is not lock they are in canals or on doors.
People mostly can say arch correctly as in an archway to a building so why not Loch!

Rant over

@SnoopySantaPaws it's more that my reaction to it feels a bit irrational. I had visions of throwing it out of the cinema screen! It makes my immersion in the film vanish for a while. Most people probably keep quiet but I have to tell them to turn it off!

Thinking about it, I have the same thing about people stood in front of me at gigs or fireworks. I want to enjoy the moment, not look at a sea of mobiles getting in the way.

There’s an element of rationality to a lot of these.

I’m irrationally irritated by people who do up the top button on polo shirts. I don’t know why. It just looks weird & makes me a bit twitchy.

Being called Hun

I don't understand this one. The "ch" in "loch" isn't like the "ch" in "arch"

I will add, though - people who can pronounce "Capri" correctly when talking about CAPri Sun but then call the island CaprEEEE.

When 'affect' should be 'effect' and vice versa

People who sneeze excessively loudly - there's never any need for it

People who sniff constantly. Just go and blow your nose

Emails that start with "I hope this finds you well". Roughly translates as "I don't give a flying fuck how you are and now I'm about to piss you off even more"

Posters who ask AIBU, who are informed by 99% of readers that, yes, you are, but then insist on arguing their point to the death. Why bloody ask?

See also people who press buttons on road crossings while you’re standing there. Like you haven’t already pressed it and are just standing there like a fucking moron. See also people trying locked doors you’ve just tried or pressing the button for the lift. What am I, invisible?! Do your fingertips have magical powers?! Fuck! Annoying!!

Anyone who obviously and very pointedly pronounces a word incorrectly and then just keep repeating themselves like that will make it right - eg a woman with her teens in the supermarket looking for some cocoa - mispronounced as co-co-ah. I shit you not. Co-fucking-co-ah. Teens looked mortified.

My friend who calls Home Bargains 'Home and Bargains' it makes no sense.
Also round here, people say 'The Asda' why?!

Zip at the back of a dress. How the heck am I supposed to do it?
Would make more sense to put it on the side where the fabric is sewn together i stead of making split right in the middle of the back

Cyclists with bells - ringing them incessantly when they can give space & pass quietly or BBC when I have clearly seen them.

being called hun or love

Well, when you have to shop alone, it's pretty bloody difficult to use a mobility aid and a trolley. There's no point in saying oh I didn't mean people who were actually disabled because you don't know who is and who isn't.

My sister in law is profoundly deaf and does this. Makes me want to really hurt her, actually murder her. The noise she makes every time she slams the spoon into the bowl when scraping the bowl to get the last bit of ice cream, or last bit of milk after eating cereal… infuriates me. She can’t hear it so has no idea how fucking annoying it is. I can’t stand to have her near me when she eats. I’m definitely headed for hell, but I don’t care, she needs to stop doing it.

That’s the point of the post, things that irrationally annoy us, when they shouldn’t really.

The rogue sock that slips under the foot. Makes me murderous.

So annoying. My work sometimes brings me into contact with someone who will tell you what he’s going to tell you, tells you, then tells you what he told you. And sometimes reiterates with a further telling. For various reasons, he is (up to a point) allowed to do this, but he is very very bad for my blood pressure.

People who tell you every detail of their proposed journey when they are coming to visit you. I don't need to know that you can't depart before 1030 because you are travelling on a Blithering Idiot's Awayday ticket and you can't travel via Nuneaton because your grandma saw something nasty in the waiting room there. Just tell me whether you want me to pick you up and text me ten minutes before your train gets in.
