The little things that annoy you

[FreudianSlipper]

yes i have pinched idea from other threads but thought others might like to get off their chest the little things that annoy them. can be as irrational as you like this thread could be therapeutic :o

some of mine are ...

men (not seen a woman do it) when reversing use the palm of their hand to steer the wheel

drivers who sit far back and right down in their seats with their arms stretched right out

i have many more

People who beep as they drive past the house opposite cos they're mates. WTF? just pigging drive past, the beeping is annoying me!

People waiting in their cars while their kids have guitar lessons at another house in the street, they block up the roas & just look so bored.

Totally with you in the traveling thing Plebshire :)

Mine are when I drop something and go to pick it up, but miss, over and over!

Queuing behind loadsa people for a lift when I have a buggy and they have no reason to use it :(

@Plebshire, I hear you on the "travelling".

My DH's sister lived in Germany for a year and she talks about it as "when I emigrated to Germany". Grrrrrr, that makes me mad!

People who moan about their money troubles to others who are clearly less well off than them, I mean do you really expect any sympathy from me because you might have to let go of your cleaner!?!......haha rant over!

When the bin bag splits and you try and transfer it in a new one by yourself....I do try but it never works.

strandedbear even worse is getting your headphones caught on your sleeve/doorhandle/pram handles - not only does it make you look like a fool but there is a really loud popping noise as they get ripped from your ears!

When you offer someone a sweet/crisp etc and they put their hand in the bag and rattle around in there for ages. Get out of my bag! Do not touch every fucking crisp in there!

People using the term "guys" when women are present. So lazy.

People who can hardly wait in a queue behind me. They keep crowding, getting well into my personal space. One woman kept knocking my bags and after about three times I looked at her and she said "I am not doing it on purpose you know". So I said, "why don't you back of then and give me a bit of room". How rude am I. I am not normally like that, but she'd done it loads.

The BBC news presenters telling me that "the BBC have learnt..." Seems to be their phrase of the moment.

Ramblers - oh yes!!!! They walk along the tow path near us (straight, flat, urban path) kitted out like their on dartmoor or summat...

Similarly to others: cheap/nasty earphones. Well, mostly just nasty ones, as you can get reasonable ones for few pennies. I do not want to hear how you choose to destroy your ears, buy better 'phones and do it in a more polite manner!

Teens(Usually young men) who talk in that daft,trying to be hip, rap speak.Ooooh, you sound like you is from the Bronx , when in fact you are from Croydon.

Slebs (Katie P and Kerry K spring to mind) who sell their lives to the press then complain they want privacy.

Lateness -no your time is not more important than mine and it's bl**dy rude.

Him with the daft hat from N Dubz brings out an irrational rage in my soul.

dappy - oh yeh - he's a tube

why does my dh never hang up his coat? Its the small things that crack me up

Chewing with mouth open
Interrupting every sentence to pay attention to child who does not need attention
Shop assistants who do not have my size cos they only go up to a 12 or 14, when they are clearly larger than that themselves
snoring
bad spelling
people who say/write "bored of" instead of "bored with"
use of "phased" when you mean "fazed"

boys who need to pull up their trousers
Sales assistants talking on mobile phones while serving
Customers who talk on mobile phones while being served
both of the above if they haven't learnt little words like please and thank you.
Anyone who says "innit"

Having to pick all the tiny,baby spiders off the washing because I can't bear to kill them!

Judgy pant alert- people who put their small children ( not babies in rear face seats) in the front when the back seat is empty.I know it's their child,their choice although I'm sure the law states they should be 12yo or over 134cm; it is statistically safer to put children in the back. Why would someone take the risk.
I know with a baby you might need to have face-to-face contact but older children/toddlers don't.
And breathe........

People who, like, use the word "like", like every other word.

A woman in Tesco who used the word "she've". It made me want to cry. As in, "I was talking to my friend and she've had one of they".

the sound of someone else eating cereal
