WE KNOW WE'RE UNREASONABLE BUT...

[TequilaMockingbirdy]

what things really really annoy you, but for no reason? Like you know it's unreasonable but you still get annoyed.

DP switching the router off at the wall pisses me off no end.

Toilet paper flopped over so the dangly bit is touching the wall. Wrong wrong wrong.

Self indulgent sneezing....all that WHAAAA CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Shit pisses me RIGHT OFF

grown ups who break wind in front of other grown ups they're not related to and then laugh.

peppinagiro - I have been guilty of doing it too so I can't really complain but then it seemed to be everywhere so I have gone off it

'Innit' in conversation, not as a joke. Aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrghh.

Ooooooooh yes

Snorty spitting, makes me want to gag.

And DH asking me questions I have no way of knowing the answer to. 'Whats the weather going to be like next Tuesday?' 'How much does it cost to get into (local attraction)'. You are sat there with a bloody iphone in your hand, google it ffs

Some poster just had to make it more personal about peoples attributes didnt they.

Well I cant stand bitches who post shallow ABIU shit.

I hate that when I phone my dad, he picks up, but then takes about 10 years to say hello, so I end up saying "hello ?!" Before him.

He does it every fucking time! Annoys the buggery out of me.

YY to people interrupting a conversation.

BUT

I also get the rage when I approach people to say something and they ignore me to carry on talking. Like they can't even see me. FFS at least have the courtesy to look in my direction and acknowledge my existence

People who return missed calls from numbers they don't recognise. "Oh hello, er I had a missed call from this number, do you know who might have rung me" ARGH. It's so needy.

trillions Yes! Yes! That does my head in!

The way I see it with missed calls, if someone wants me that bad they'll ring again or leave a voicemail. If not, I don't much care.

Bun rings create one of the silliest hairdos of all time.

Just because the road is clear doesn't mean you can go if the green man hasn't appeared. You pressed the button - you caused the lights to change - SO WAIT!

Non-competitive cyclists really don't need to wear lycra.

What is so important on television that means talking is forbidden? Nothing on Eastenders is more important than conversation with real people.

Throwing the ball back over the fence several times a week - no great hardship but he is 20 years old and there is a public park across the road.

People coming up to me when I am talking to someone or maybe I'm a small group and interrupting and trying to monopolize my attention when I am in a conversation! It's so rude! Yes I mean you, New Mum in playground, and also please stop oversharing- I just want to drop my kids off, bit of light chit chat and go home! Not listen to a load of angst from someone I don't know.

People who separate their supermarket shopping into two transactions. Just pay and piss off!

People who eat whilst talking to me on the phone.
People who go to pay for their petrol but then start shopping for an age, all while I am sitting behind waiting to get my turn at the pump.

pepinagiro there is a nursery I go past regularly that has a big banner saying 'Reserve your interest now!'

No! Either reserve your place or express your interest! It's been up about a year too, so depressing.

My DM phones me then, a couple of minutes into the conversation, complains that she needs a wee, or she's left something on the grill.
It makes me so cross! Why doesn't she sort those kind of things out before calling?
She always says it as if I've inconvenienced her by making her choose to call me about something totally inconsequential that could have easily waited at such an inopportune moment.
I know IABU, she's my mum, and she's never going to change.
But!

People who phone me and then divide their attention with somebody else who is talking to them. You phoned me. So you make the other person wait.

The way my flatmate laughs. He sits in his room chuckling to himself so loudly I can hear it in the living room with the door closed.

People who talk through movies. Like flatmate.

People who get off the train/bus/escalator and then stop dead. Particularly when they glare at everyone trying to get off after them.

People who are surprised they'll need their wallet to pay for something. You've been waiting for the bus/to pay at the supermarket for 10 minutes now. Even if you don't have your wallet in your hand, surely you'll have worked out that it might be useful to know where in your bag your purse might be?

People who can't use self-service checkouts and require the staff-member to scan everything for them. I need her to accept that I'm not under 25 and let me have my wine!

Adults who cycle on pavements.

Sniffers

It being three hours until I can go home for the weekend.

dragonfly1 infuriating! 'Reserve your interest' surely would mean the opposite of what they want - something more like 'keep your interest to yourself', wouldn't it??

People who take their sweet time at cash machines really annoys me

Kids playing on the grass underneath my apartment window instead of on the Green a few yards away.

Downton Abbey fanatics going ballistic at anyone who criticised the rape storyline.

The expression 'yummy mummy'.

People who get their secretary to ring you and tell you to hold on for a call from Mr Chief Executive. I'm fucking busy and have no intention of sitting here for five minutes waiting for you to pick up.

People who take a full swipe of butter or margarine with a knife, spread some of it on their toast, and then wipe the excess butter which is FULL OF TOAST CRUMBS back into the container. Would you pour milk into your cornflakes, eat the cornflakes, then pour the milk back into the bottle? No! Then don't pollute my butters, you cretins. My ILs (who I love dearly) do this, but coward that I am I've never called term out on it.

"People who sit next to me on public transport when other empty seats are available angry"

This ^ Even worse are people who sit next to me and then start talking.
