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.

vicky where do you stand in people who take the lids off two pens, then put them back on the wrong pens? So you think you're going to write on tye whiteboard with a black pen but it's actually a blue pen in disguise?

I'd be tempted to make it punishable by firing squad...

Andrewofgg · 02/05/2014 21:58

Firing squad is too easy. Do something nasty with pens with a sharp nib!

People who use the butter knife to get jam out of the jar rather than use a spoon. Puts manky bits of butter in the jam. Yuk.

WhistleTopTomato · 02/05/2014 22:15

People who say "10 to the dozen"

I knew someone who said "One of one and half a dozen of the other."

When people type 'ower' instead of 'our' and they aren't dyslexic.

Putting teabags in the sink
WHY ! Just put it in the food waste bin ! It's not difficult .
And
People drinking out of a mug when the tea spoon is still in it
Again WHY ! You just look stupid and risk losing an eye

TequilaMockingbirdy · 02/05/2014 22:21

That reminds me do I set fire to a teabag last week. You may ask how does one set fire to a tea bag when they're supposed to be dunked in water...

How does one set fire to a tea bag ?

Baring ( bearing ? ) in mind it should be dunked in boling water then removed and put in the food waste bin before drinking the delicious hot beverage one has prepared

TequilaMockingbirdy · 02/05/2014 22:34

Well...

I fell into a bad habit of putting them on a saucer, which I left on one of the rings of the hob.

I'm staring at a pot of spud wondering why they're not boiling, realised I'd not turned the hob on.

Turned the hob on.

Teabag set on fire and the saucer cracked... I'd put the wrong ring on Blush

Que me flapping and shoving it in the sink ha

DP posted it all over facebook.. I haven't lived it down!

A handful of warm coins...or people who jangle coins in their pockets.

Doilooklikeatourist · 02/05/2014 22:37

TequilaMockingbirdy · 02/05/2014 22:38

My Mum when she says "It was choc-a-block!" or "Oh I love pomp and ceremony!"

Angry WTF!

Vicky5910 · 03/05/2014 10:09

Treacle I am not OK with pen lids being swapped, especially two different style pens so the lids don't fit correctly! Writing in blue or black on the white board doesn't bother me too much, but if it was a surprise orange... They'd never find the body...

FatherDickByrne · 03/05/2014 10:16

Cold callers whose first line is 'How are you?'

Ilovemydogandmydoglovesme · 03/05/2014 12:08

Cold callers in general.

Or those bloody automated messages along the lines of 'you qualify for our grant' etc. You made me get up from the sofa with my painful leg and hobble over to the phone to find out it's that stupid time wasting message again. I want to hunt you down and shoot you. Piss off.

cardiandcrocs · 03/05/2014 12:13

I'm perusing part of a supermarket aisle, standing a few feet away from it, in order to see it better nothing to do with being badly long-sightedwhy,oh why do you think it's OK to simply walk between me and aisle that I'm so obviously looking at. Yes, I've been known to say "excuse me" in a very PA way.

Then at the checkout. I only have two arms to put the shopping away. SLOW THE FUCK DOWN checkout person. I'm trying to catch heavy 2 litre bottles as they ricochet down at me like a bloody coke tsunami.

I hate fucking shopping

Pennyforthegal · 03/05/2014 12:13

Cashiers coughing and sneezing all over my food oblivious

TheRealAmandaClarke · 03/05/2014 13:10

one of one and half a dozen of the other

Atbeckandcall · 03/05/2014 13:46

People who say expresso instead of espresso. They need shooting.

50KnockingonabiT · 03/05/2014 14:22

Ketchup, if you're going to have it on your dinner, please put the bottle away and clear/wash your own plate, and nobody needs ketchup on mash potato, bleurgh.

If you are making me a cup of coffee I want a full cup, there is not a water shortage.

People who stop in the middle of the aisle in the supermarket.

People who meet friends/neighbours or any tom dick or harry in the supermarket and block the aisle while they all have a chat.

Frankie, absolutely with you on the teeth brushing, even more so when it's shown on tv.

Dh playing bloody tea bag jenga on the kitchen worktops instead of putting the buggers in the food waste bin Angry

Filimou · 03/05/2014 19:00

People who cover everything in salt before even tasting the food to see if it even needs it. Angry

Filimou · 03/05/2014 19:24

Game requests on Facebook.
Randomly......Hawkeye, most pointless avenger ever.

crazydashboard · 03/05/2014 20:34

People laughing or smiling when you are angry with them or trying to have an important conversation even though you know that is just their way of dealing with it!
