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.

revenge

Whistling.

Being expected to make everyone a coffee when I make one at work.
Someone else making themselves a coffee at work and not making one for me.

Stackalee, I have been known to turn loo rolls round because they are wrong (in my parents/sisters houses, not random acquaintances). And, the flappy bit does go behind for total loo roll peace of mind and satisfaction - you are wrong.

When DH has a shower or bath in the evening, he comes downstairs with the towel wrapped around him sarong style with his dressing gown on top.
My nails dig into the palms of my hands every bloody time.

People who make typos while complaining about other people's grammar. Saw a post on Facebook the other day about how being a writer made the person wish there were less mistakes. Ffnnngggg.

People who arrive early and text you implying you are late. Or who text to say they're about to arrive at your house, early.

Companies that set up Twitter feeds and never reply to @ messages.

frisky.

People who are enthusiastic about recycling.

I tell you what makes me stabby. You know when you're in a shop or hotel reception or something, carryng out a transaction / conversation when all of a sudden the phone rings and the person you're talking to answers it!

Erm! Excuse me, how come that unknown person on the end of the phone is suddenly more important than me?! It's so bloody rude

I've a good mind to reach over the counter and ct the call off next time

Actually I realise I've missed the whole pount of the thread because that is somethingthat's entirely reasonable to be annoyed at. I think what may be unreasonable is the level of utter rage it makes me feel

Another polystyrene hater here.

Also, I hate those Facebook posts that say "repost this if you have an amazing husband/dog/friend".

And people who say "off of".

Whistling - dd1 is 6 and so proud she can whistle. She's very good at it but I hate it beyond reason. Fil dies it too - whistling along to a song in the car badly - drives me completely nuts!

Signs or posters that are out of date, even just by a day. It's so irritating. And calendars that haven't been turned over yet. My MIL is terrible at this, when I first met her she still had up a calendar from two years previous. Im forever turning people's calendars over, they must hate me. I'm a bin it on January 1st kind of person.

Amanda - is the recycling one in reference to the tetrapack thread? In which case it is people faking enthusiasm for recycling in order to win a prize...

I am in the doctor's reception enduring loud parenting hell.

Woman opposite me with 2 girls is getting them to analyse and discuss everything that flashes up on the electronic screen. In her loudest look at me voice.

I want to poke her in the eye.

Off of oh yes.

I hadn't seen the tetrapak thread.

I think Frisky's taken the lead here!

Anyone posting on AIBU about something being posted on Facebook.

Socks.

All very well in their place, but socks left abandoned around the house make me seethe not very quietly. Why do DH and the DC feel the need to take their bloody socks off at unlikely moments? Why not just leave them on until you go to bed FGS?

This might seem reasonable, if it were not for my tolerance of any other forms of mess (household of slobs, including, much as I would like to claim otherwise, me). It's just the socks. until I get on a roll and then it's everything and everyone

Pretty much most of these but also people who say 'mmm' when you're telling them something.
You know that shop ...mmm... on the Hardinge Road ...mmm.. mmm... next to the ...mmm... garage ...mmm...
Oh never mind. How about you tell me something instead

And I am also very irked by commuters parking on my road. Especially one who had the nerve to comment to me that parking is really getting incredibly difficult. I KNOW! I LIVE HERE!

slow walkers!

People in shops who stand REALLY close to you when you're looking at something they also want to look at.

WAIT YOUR TURN!

Also, shop assistants who won't move for you but carry on stacking shelves where you need something.

When you order a pot of tea and they give you a pot which is so small it only holds a cup full. Hot water doesn't cost, just give me a big teapot!

Or teapots that leak when you pour!

People who say "10 to the dozen"

Awesome thread!
What about people who don't put pen lids back on felt tip or whiteboard pens properly? Everyone knows they're supposed to 'click'!
All waste in general really bugs me. Buying a new something even though you already have one?! Great, more for the landfill. Knobhead.
Also, people who say they don't really like fruit or veg like that's not an issue.
People who can't breathe properly. If I can hear it or feel it you are doing it wrong!
People who take ages to read a great book I've already finished and want to talk to them about.
