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.

[MumsyFoxy]

Unskilled, slow drivers;
Drivers who take up two car spaces outside the school;
Indian body language (esp the head wobble)- drives me mad.

[BornToFolk]

People pushing a buggy with only one hand. I don't know why it bugs me so much (other than it taking up "too much" room on the pavement), but it really does.

[jenipat]

This is about things we're aware it's unreasonable but can't help it, right ?

Here goes:

The word breakfast

It really annoys me. Yes yes I am unreasonable to dislike such a word-my fault I know. Oh, and to expand on the theme, big meal, full English breakfast

Yeah, it's completely unreasonable I know (!)

[RidgyTipper]

SlimJiminy can I add:
People who say "regularly" when they mean "frequently". I instantly lob several IQ points off my mental assessment of them.

[squoosh]

Oh just thought of one that REALLY bugs me.

People who slump their upper body over their shopping trolley as if it's far too exhausting to just walk normally.

[Zucker]

bye bye bye bye bye bye byeeeeeeeeee

At the end of every phone call I've had recently. Just. hang. up.

Other people sneezing and other peoples toast crumbs.

[Zucker]

The words "nutritious meal" together. The combination of words makes my skin crawl for some reason.

[stealthsquiggle]

People who don't know how to use an airport. I know that is entirely unreasonable, but when I am getting on my 6th flight in a week (not an every week occurrence,but it happens) I just want to scream "FFS there are a million signs everywhere telling you what to do - how the hell can you have made it to the front of the queue /passport control/ boarding gate / needed to stop randomly right in front of me just to stand there looking hopeless"

I make so many snap judgements about people based on appearance when deciding which queue to join that I would be toasted alive if I were to admit to them

Similarly people who can't use self service checkouts, or have to spend 5 minutes getting their money out at the supermarket checkout. I know it's unreasonable, but it makes me completely and utterly stabby, every time.

[VulvaVoom]

People who stand chatting in the street who are seemingly unaware that people are trying to squeeze past them - you then get that thing when people are waiting either side to go and the chatters are still totally clueless and banging on about Auntie Jean being in hospital.

[Pobblewhohasnotoes]

People who get on the bus, then decide to faff around looking for their Oyster card.

[Zucker]

ON a roll now, but Auntie Jean just reminded me of another. In a queue at the post office and the place is at a standstill because 1 customer is telling the counter staff about Marys veins or Paddy's gallstones. Mother of God MOVE ALONG. Granted it's a local post office but come on!

[stealthsquiggle]

Vulva - round here people do that in their cars - if they pass a friend (mostly in a lane, but occasionally even on the larger roads) they just wind down their windows and sit and chat

[squoosh]

People.

[Ilovemydogandmydoglovesme]

People who can quite happily use the words 'more than' but go apoplectic when faced with 'less than'.

And I was hunched over the shopping trolley this morning. I've done my ankle in and being able to lean on the trolley was a blessed relief.

Yes to people standing in the way having their own private conversation. Yes gossipy school mums, in the doorway of the little school entrance, I am looking at you. And no I couldn't give a fuck, get out of my way you gabbling fishwives.

[odyssey2001]

Things being packed incorrectly in the dishwasher.
Google's predictive text - last line came out as "Thongs being incorrectly picked in the dishwasher".
Backwards facing toilet paper
Sitting in a multi line queue and the other queues moving faster than yours
People who smoke in playgrounds and at theme parks full of kids - fag in one hand pushing their child on the swing with the other
Next door slamming around at 10 every night
Waking up at 5 in the morning to my child screaming in their sleep

[LIttleMissTickles]

Blueuggboots I thought I was the only person who cared about the cardiac arrest/heart attack thing!

[VulvaVoom]

Another one - people who take AGES using a cashpoint, WTF are you doing? Put in your pin, decide how much you want, get it and go!

[Pobblewhohasnotoes]

Middle lane drivers. See that empty lane to the left of you? It's for driving in when you have nothing to over take.

[Summerbreezing]

People talking to me when I'm trying to read
People biting their nails
People who have loud 'look at me engaging with my child' conversations with their tiny kids on public transport, obviously for the benefit of the other passengers.

[Sallyingforth]

People eating with their mouth open.
People who don't pick up their dog's shit - yes I mean YOU!

[Pobblewhohasnotoes]

When I'm trying to watch something on TV that I really want to see and I get talked at through the whole programme. MIL looking at you!

[Pobblewhohasnotoes]

*I'm looking at you, I meant.

[Summerbreezing]

People who hog the ATM for ages, putting in different cards for different transactions.

[MorrisZapp]

Oops, I thought cardiac arrest was a posh name for a heart attack.

Enlighten a blonde?

[OnlyLovers]

Vulva, I KNOW! HOW can it take so LONG! Are they reading a novel on that tiny blurry green screen? Or checking fifteen offshore accounts?

Made me think of another one: women in public loos who take about ten hours. Do they get fully undressed and then dressed again? Do they respond to a month's worth of emails? Are they scrubbing in and then out, like surgeons? Piss or get off the pot, for feck's sake.
