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.

People who say 'who's that'? when you answer the phone.

I have unaccountable rage at the co-op sign that advertises a sliced loaf as "the best thing since sliced bread".
I want to stick a post-it note on the sign, pointing out that it cannot be the best thing since sliced bread as it is sliced bread.

That I will never ever be the kind of person who has a beautiful tidy handbag and can always find their phone immediately it starts ringing without having to root through 49 receipts, empty tubes of foundation, packs of aspirin and a six month old bank statement.

DS sneezing so loudly it's like a bad joke
People spitting in the street
People who don't bother to reply to emails
The fat woman who wouldn't budge out of they way at the party the other night

DP burping. It fucking gets on my nervous and I go mad, there's no need for the intake of breath he does to make it a massive burp.

Brilliant thread
As I am sleep deprived most things annoy me at the moment -here are the top few:

• DH taking 45 mins to do a poo, multiple times a day
• DH coughing
• kids losing socks all the time
• Facebook
• sats for 6 year olds
• spreadable butter that doesn't spread
• sainsburys online grocery shopping
• dog owners who think dogs are equal in importance to children
• the question 'what's for dinner'

Feet.
Holding ones knife like a pencil. Just fucking wrong.
Out of tune singing.
Brown sauce. Ugh.
ITV.
People who are glued to their smart phones. Especially during meals.
Miles Cyrus.
The Let It Go song. Let it fucking stop.
Barbie. She gets on my not plastic tits.
Orange make up.
Nude tights.
Body odour.
Asda.
Tesco.
Square plates.
Gold taps.
Is that enough?

Dogs. And their owners who think everybody should love dogs too.
Same with horses.
People who call Indian Restaurants curry houses. It's ignorant.

Queue jumpers irritate me - especially at the bus stops 'Oh sorry, I didn't realise I was jumping the queue' - hang on, wasn't I sat here BEFORE you arrived, therefore I was waiting for the bus BEFORE you! The same goes for shops, just people who queue jump full stop.

The bloke on my works bus who rings his WIFE as soon as he boards the bus at 7.30am, then chats for the full half hour journey - what the hell do you talk about at home? Do you actually speak to each other at home? I do not need to know your business!!

As mentioned above - socks, left on my living room floor by DH, there is no need!

Spilled tea on the bench that NO ONE wipes up. How hard is it to grab the dishcloth or a piece of kitchen towel and wipe it up. It stains and I have to use raw bleach to get my bench clean again.........

Wet teatowels balled up on the bench, and wet bath towels left in a heap on the floor

The bloke at work who CHOMPS his way through his lunch, complete with lipsmacking! You're not a dinosaur, eat properly ffs!

Old people who turf you out of your seat on the bus because they're in 'more need than you' - just because I'm younger than you, doesn't mean that I need a seat any less than you do! (Old people irritate me full stop though, and I dread to think I'll become one of 'them') Back in my day.........

Ok, so a lot of these are quite reasonable, but it still irritates me x

Our downstairs neighbours double lock the communal front door 'for security reasons'. Never mind the fact that it's our only route out in case of fire, it's flipping irritating to be leaving the house in the morning and find you're double-locked in! Even more irritatingly, they don't double lock the door to their flat, just the communal one. Plus any thief worth his crowbar is just going to go through the single-glazed ground floor windows to steal their (large, noisy) telly. They're useless at sorting the recycling too. Basically, people who act like it's just their flat when it's part of a block.

Also people on their phone on public transport - even if they're talking at a normal volume, that wouldn't bother me at all if they were having a conversation with someone who is actually there. The fact that I can only hear half of it is what annoys me.

I'd love to wear a heart monitor while watching my husband pick his nails. I can feel my chest tighten and my blood boil.

Glass chopping boards. WHY?????

Lorries overtaking lorries.

Oh I get unreasonable about old people to and hate myself for it I work in a shop and it has two self services so sometimes when we have delivery we just leave them open and get on with getting delivery out. It's always old people who come fetch me from the other end just to swipe a paper through saying, "oooh I can't work them things!!" or them just standing there then moaning when I spot them, er, come find me? I'm not a mind reader

Also agree on the cash point thing arrrrrrghhh. Again I see old people a lot squinting and taking forever! Or old people using chip and pin at work and squinting and putting pin in wrong then making me lean over with my huge baby bump to tell them how many numbers they've entered so far.

On bin day people putting their bins in the middle of the pavement and not just at the front of their garden so me and ds have to walk in the road to school arseholes!

He can't help it as he has ibs but dp gets home from work and i have to wait at least 40 mins to chat to him as he spends that on the toilet !!

DP and his clicking jaw when he eats.

DP eating cereal. He stirs the cereal 10000 times and constantly clinks his spoon against the bowl!

DS going for a messy poo as soon as i've cleaned the bathroom!

The verbal tic "Kinda like" near the start of a sentence. As in "So we kinda like, built the website"

No. You either built it, or you didn't build it. You didn't half build it, or start to build it and then realised you built something else instead.

If you combine it with that dreadful habit of turning the end of every sentence into a question? as well, then I'm going to end you.

DH hangs towels on doors.

He puts them over the top corner of doors and it infuriates me. Tea towels over the top of kitchen cupboard doors and even bath towels over the top of bathroom and bedroom doors.

Sometimes he hangs coats the same way.

It enrages me beyond reason.

People that press the button at a crossing after I've already pressed it. It gives me the rage

People that use phrases like 'it makes me feel stabby' or other variations. It horrifies me how people can be so blasé about stabbing. I could just be sensitive though, my brother was hours away from death last year after being stabbed 16 times by his step brother.

MIL 'helping' putting things away in my house. Who puts pickles in a biscuit cupboard ffs? She once put all the forks in the knife slot, which was already full of knives, leaving the fork slot totally empty.

DH not cleaning crumbs off the kitchen surfaces straight away! He always does it eventually, it's the not doing it immediately that bothers me. Gives me the heebie jeebies!

TheCunnyFunt you have just reminded me of people who get in the lift when it's not going in the direction they want.

Why? Why go up just to come back down? Or vice versa?

Especially when there are other lifts on the way that are arrowed as moving in the direction they actually want to go in.

Stop it and stay put.

On god yes butter that describes itself as spreadable. Whoever thought that little gem up needs a stern talking to. I fall for it every time, and always end up almost carving the bloody bread up as I try to spread the cold, hard spreadable butter on to it. Yet if you leave it out of the fridge to soften up it goes a bit manky.

And it annoys me that it annoys me, iyswim. It's not important but it is soooo annoying.

There appears to be a man posting from MNHQ. QUICK SOMEONE, CALL SOCIAL SERVICES!!

People who just randomly stop in the middle of the pavement or supermarket or in doorways so I nearly crash into them. They never realise & are usually old oblivious

People who stick out their tongues to receive their food it's not a communion wafer My DM has started doing this & I find myself watching in horrid fascination

DH taking his trousers & pants completely off when he has a poo for hours at home. Sometimes he wanders in & out of the en suite midway with just a t-shirt on, everything dangling below and once I found a small turd on the bedroom floor

Oh my god witchway I just actually 'lol'd' at what you wrote, so much that I disturbed my sleeping baby! I think that was the first time mumsnet has actually made me 'lol'

Ps I hate 'lol' but it is appropriate here!

Still laughing at him taking entire trousers and pants off..

It's "more comfy" apparently

Fucking ridiculous more like!
