What things are you unreasonable about?

[Mumofaflump]

Mine is old people driving fast cars slowly. While wearing hats...

FFS, if you can't drive down a dual carriageway at 70 then:

A) You shouldn't be allowed a license.
B) If you are going to drive slowly then buy a slow car and save the money.
C) If you are that cold that you needs hat, turn the heating up.

Now, I know I am BU about this, but it bugs me. What bugs you?

Oh and people who drive through zebra crossings when people are waiting to walk across the road...

Or have a face like a cat's bum because they have had to stop...

By the way - LOL at BelleDameSansMerci's men who sit with legs apart observation - so true!

People not putting their children in car seats or making them wear belts.

I get all hot and tetchy and do impressions of a person putting on an imaginary seat belt through my car window so they feel bad.

They probbaly couldn't give a toss though.

Eeeeesh, mine's a long list!

• The kid who sits behind me in the cinema and kicks my seat ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE FILM
• Parent of said child who doesn't stop child doing this
• Those roller-skate-trainer-things. WHY is there always a child in them following me around the supermarket? Alllllllllll the way round, 'schhhhhhhhhhhhh-kdunk, schhhhhhhhhhhhh-kdunk'
• '45-ers' - people who drive at 45mph no matter what the speed limit is.
• (Usually ugly) men who strip down to the waist when it's hot. I'M HOT TOO, but if I got my (much smaller) boobs out, I'd get done for indecent exposure. GRR.
• txtspk
• 'Black speak' by white people, and the accent that goes with it
• Ricky Gervais
• Clothing companies that seem to think if you're short you can't POSSIBLY be bigger than a size 16
• Friend on FB's baby bump. She's skinny as a rake and just looks like someone's stuck a football up her t-shirt. AND I know that within two weeks of effortlessly pushing this one out she'll be crowing about being back in her size 10 jeans. Bitch.
• DH putting marmite in the fridge. It doesn't live in there (not that he'd know, he hates it), if you put it there it's not spreadable without shredding bread.
• Socks and sandals (I'm looking at YOU dad)
• Lee Evans
• In the Night Garden
• People who say 'pacific' instead of 'specific'. There's an S at the beginning. BLOODY USE IT!
• People who say they're dyslexic when they just can't spell. I'M dyslexic (properly diagnosed, I even have a certificate) and as you may have noticed (aside from any typos I haven't spotted) I can spell just fine. That's not what dyslexia does to everyone.
• People using the phone while driving. Seriously, why do people STILL think this is ok?!

Aaaaaaaaaand BREATHE. I feel strangely better :)

OMG yes!!! - so many people think specific is 'pacific'. That really makes me unreasonable to the pointof telling them the proper way of saying it.

I am really intolerant of people who park in my driveway.

Also people who drive in the overtaking lane while not overtaking anything because there is a lorry 3 miles ahead.

And I'm unreasonable about those who are really incompetent at their jobs and then get arsy with you when you point it out to them. Like certain surveyors, Sky tv aerial installers, rubbish collectors, etc.. Not my fault you can't be bothered to do your job properly but don't start narking at me when I tell you I'm not going to pay for it!

hairful thanks for that, I have learnt something today.

Now I can get annoyed about it too

AGHH!

THREE dots! Three! Dammit!

Was reminded of another one this morning: loaves of bread with a massive hole through the middle. It's unreasonable because I know they're not exactly baked like that on purpose, but ffs I resent paying money for a loaf with about 40% of its innards missing. Unusable for sandwiches and difficult to toast.

'People who say 'pacific' instead of 'specific'. There's an S at the beginning. BLOODY USE IT!'

vans and cars that double park, yes I know you are only there for a minute, but every minute counts!!! Get out of my way

We live in a road that is blocked off at one end, and so many people (builders and workmen especially) think its fine. Even when there is somewhere to pull in

I hate it when you're out and about and a stranger asks you a question like, 'do you know where the cathetral is?' or in a shop, 'is this check out open?'.

And when you reply, they walk off without a thank you. Sometimes if I'm a bit testy, I'll say audibly 'you're welcome!' hehehe

I asked DF if I was unreasonable about anything last night and he happily gave me a list of things!

The toilet lids have to be put down

I make a note of the amount of bubble bath I have left and go ape if the level has dropped.

His playstation. I hate the bloody thing. I know he deserves his downtime as well but I just hate the thing.

Oh Christ, that reminds me I unreasonably HATE computer games (and, therefore, associated paraphernalia). I hate the sounds they make, the invariably cheesy awful music, the fucking graphics, and the way people playing them can't talk or make eye contact for hours afterwards. I also hate the squeaky noises the handset or whatever makes. They really stress me out.

People who stand too close behind me at the supermarket checkout.
Drivers who don't indicate.
People who don't say thank you when you hold a door open or something.
People who leave the toilet seat up. dh
The dish cloth being left crumpled so it doesn't dry. dh
dh

OH shoes being left where ever he takes them off (usually under the table)

Shop assistants who don't even acknowledge you and carry on talking about their weekend.

Birds that shit on my clean laundry (ggrrrr)

Friends turning up unannounced at 2pm and I'm still not dressed.

Friends arrange to do something and canceling 10 mins before.

Right time for a and to think of more.

People who confuse lie/lay, e.g. "I'm going for a lay down."
DH asking if he can nip in my bath before me for "a quick swill." NO you bloody CAN'T!!!!!

People who use 'borrow' and 'lend' incorrectly. No I can't 'borrow' you a tenner, and quite frankly I don't fancy lending you one either!

Call centre twats who do the following:

Twat: Hello, is that Mrs James?
Me: No. Who is calling, please?
Twat:

Rude cunt!

I am also unreasonable about the aforementioned Ms James, as whoever she is, she is causing me to get loads of wrong numbers from lovely people like debt collection agencies. Having a recycled number sucks.

People who confuse rent and let.
I am renting my house ( from an agency)
I am letting my house ( to someone else)

onEastarEggIGraze - I very recently had the following conversation:

Caller - Hello, I have just moved house and have loads of furniture in storage.
Me - Ok...sorry, why are you calling me?
Caller - To sell it!
Me - Umm, are you trying to phone ley Auctioneers?
Caller - Yes, that's who I have called.
Me - No, sorry you have called a residence. You want to dial 123456.
Caller - I did dial that number.
Me - No, you called 234567.
Caller - No, I didn't.
Me - Clearly you did as that is my phone number and I answered and I am not ley Auctioneers.
Caller - No need to be rude, I'll take my business elsewhere

For FetchezLaVache

People who say "sat" instead of "sitting"

People who knock on my door and spend five minutes trying to have a conversation with me as if I was a long lost friend when all they want is for me to sign a Direct Debit to a charity - FUCK OFF - If I want to donate I will do so directly, I am not giving my bank details to any old Tom, Dick or Harry.

People who say "borrow" instead of "lend". Please may I BORROW your book" not please may LEND your book.

In fact bad grammar in general. Didn't anyone go to school or read a book.

People who amble to the kiosk and back when they are paying for petrol when there is a massive queue - move your arses!
