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.

It's not a chat thread though. It's related to AIBU.

Men who smirk while farting horribly and then say 'sorry' while looking ridiculously pleased with themselves. Like I'm actually supposed to congratulate them for producing a horrible smell from their arsehole.

Adults who eat crisps near me. I hate the smell and the crunching sound. It infuriates me, but I know IABU, so I have to pretend nothing annoying is happening.

Loud throat clearers.

People at work who cook stinky food in the office microwave - mariners pie and the like

Able bodied people who use lifts even though there are stairs or escalators available and give me dirty looks for having the nerve to get in with a pram

Mine was the same as yours op, drove me demented! Until the internet broke a couple of weeks ago and the guy at plusnet said switching it on and off all the time confuddles it somehow, something technical blah blah, but anyway now I am vindicated.

Hair gel. Why put an oil slick on your head - and why do so many men do it?

I pity their hairdressers.

This one is utterly bonkers and I have never before admitted it to anyone.

When you go to a place to eat out with friends and the waiter brings you the food and says "enjoy your meals".
This drives me NUTS.
It implies that me and my friends are in individual compartments, silently eating with masturbatory pleasure. We will not talk or even make eye contact throughout. They are individual plates of food which we will eat individually.

A dinner out with friends is a shared collective experience. Yes, we do get a plate each, but we are all at the same meal. The waiter should say to all of us, collectively, "enjoy your meal"

GRRRRRRR

People who put their basket down at the self service till when I'm still collecting my change from the slot or picking up my receipt. Fuck off and WAIT a minute. Yes, rude cow in South Dublin Tesco a few weeks ago with the whiny voice, I'm talking about YOU!

Oh, and really fussy eaters who look suspiciously at anything that has garlic, herbs, a sauce or a bit of vegetable on the plate.

YY duck and tequila DH and I are getting through breaking bad at the moment (no spoilers only on series 4 episode 3) and he asks me things like "who's that?" "Where's Jesse going?" "Is that Hanks workmate". How the fuck a doodle doo would I know I've never seen this episode before either why would I have the answers?

Vintage - yes! And those who tut at my five seconds to pick up the bags and thank the cashier at the checkout - you're getting your shopping, not a blood transfusion. WAIT!

Exactly MrsDeVere! This woman ends up going on a tangent and it's not even relevant, there's a couple of times I've been quite rude and said 'right can we get back to this'. The tutors looked at me with relief each time...
