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!

Just ignore it, it’s a public highway after all. We’ve got an EV but only because we’ve got a driveway. We wouldn’t have got one otherwise.

Glad it’s not just me!

unnecessary reverse parking

@MyUmberSeal Oh God, mine too!!! What's that about? It drives me insane and I have to correct him! He has an awful habit of mispronouncing lots of words. It's the one thing that irritates me about him! And I can't not say anything, because I don't want him to look like an idiot in front of other people!
Pacific - specific, Lorna Croft - Lara Croft, there are many examples!
We once had a conversation, which included a lot of them. I said to him, it's a wonder anyone knows what you're talking about! 🤣

People who take photos of paintings at art galleries can go in the bin. They manoeuvre their way in front of everyone else trying to look at the piece, only to take a shit photo of the art. Inevitably there is glare from lighting in the gallery. It's so fucking rude and annoying. They can literally just Google the painting and see a much better quality image of the painting. But they just want to be annoying twats. I'd actually hate them a bit less if they took a selfie next to the painting (but only a tiny, wee bit less) because that at least has some value in a memory or proof they saw it in real life. I'm just back from a big gallery and the amount of adults who were doing this was bizarre .... If anyone here does it can you explain why? Do you go home and show all your friends a slide show of shit pictures of famous pictures.

Thought of another one and had to post…

my ex used to mispronounce ‘prolific’ as ‘profilic’ with extraordinary confidence even though I had corrected him after a while.

It used to make me physically squirm (I’m cringing now remembering this)

The worst was when he came home from work and was re-enacting a conversation he’d had with a client that day where he used the dreaded word. I think we broke up shortly after this 😂

Anyone who asks for a substitution in a recipe that's the main ingredient.
French onion soup.
And they ask what can they use instead of onions.

And to not answering your questions.

I put a post up the other day about hearing g aids.
It was a simple yes or no answer.
The comments I got were so annoying.

People who open packet and rustle them for what feels like a lifetime. Open the fucking packet and remove the sweet.

When people say “on the weekend “
drives me insane

Whistling.

Why??

When I went to the National Gallery, I took close-ups of certain details on a few paintings (probably fewer than five in total). I wanted a record of how the artist had achieved a particular effect, e.g. the folds on a piece of silk fabric. Web images aren’t normally a high enough resolution to show the brushstrokes.

People who raise their desks at the office and stand up to work.

Totally attention seeking behaviour.

When someone eats one potato chip at a time from a cellophane bag. The crumpling noise is enough to make me want to jump off a bridge. It’s been complained about but it continues. Put a handful in a bowl or a plate for Pete’s sake. Now that’s really annoying.

Crumbs in the butter is disgusting. I throw it away if it looks like that.

If I ruled the world there would be no rustling packets.

Yeah, and you must buy it asap or they will sell out, uh huh

People who have a certain issue, and are bothered/upset about something, and have a thread title that includes the words 'hand hold please.'

Just really jars me. 'Bought wrong paint colour for the back hallway, hand hold please.....' 😢

Really JARS me. See also, 'Line Eyes,' on the pregnancy boards. Just really annoys me! 😂

• Starbucks not having decaf tea.
• me accidentally pressing the . between words instead of the space bar, when the space bar button is literally 4 times as big.
• people getting frustrated waiting for a hospital lift, so they press the down button and up button (when they want to go up) as they think it’ll magically bring the lift to them more quickly than just pressing the up button, but it actually makes the whole thing longer.

Sorry - I deleted a bit because I thought I was being unnecessarily rude. I just hate having to queue to use a Ladies when men never have to wait.
By using the toilet "properly" I mean not just standing in view of others and spraying a urinal.

I have been known to think ‘sod it” and go in the gents! That very much depends on where I am though.

When I was in sixth form I had a part-time job and worked with this older guy, must have been about 50-odd. One day, he somehow managed to crowbar the staff room conversation onto the subject of women’s moods (yes, he was a delight) and very seriously decided to explain to all of us younger staff members what ‘menastration’ was. He was adamant, when I corrected him, that it was ‘menastration’, and not, as we all already knew because we were older than 12, ‘menstruation’. Still makes me chuckle. Male over-confidence can be fascinating to watch.

I hate drivers who drive right up behind you, desperate to overtake you. And when they finally do they roar the engine like they are trying to intimidate you.
Dickheads

That's what it used to be called in the 80's, is your friend older ? I'm 61 and can remember it being called Home and Bargains.

People who take ages in public toilets. This happened to me yesterday at a London venue where I had spent a fortune on tickets. There were just two loos so a massive queue formed. Everyone else seemed patient but I was seething and ended up wasting 20 mins of precious time.
