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 with loose jaws who, consequently, are noisy eaters, annoy me like whoa. And it irrational because there isn't anything they can do about it. Sometimes I fantasise about bandaging DH's jaw shut.

Also, people who wait until the bill is rung up at the till before thinking that they might actually need their purse/wallet, and then spend 10 minutes turning out handbags or rucksacks to find it make me frothy with rage.

Oh my god, the crisp thing, seriously how hard is it to open the bag the right way. I hate it when the bottom of the bag opens, I have been known to sellotape it up.
when my dh gags over a bad smell, he can't help it, but it really makes me want to scream
If you cant scan your items yourself, then get someone to do it for you and stop clogging up the self scans, which in themselves drive me potty- its in the sodding bagging area because I just put it there

Anyone who drinks out of my favourite mug. It's old and slightly chipped but it's mine!
Also anyone who has a messy, not straight, parting in their hair! Drives me mad as mine has to be dead straight!
Also fringes that are so long that it goes in their eyes. I just want to cut it off! Claudia Winkleman springs to mind.

lacktoastandtolerance thanks for clearing up the Ibiza/chorizo thing, marvellous.

That poem is brilliant. Perfectly sums up my opinion of the English language. I'm so glad I was born into it, I wouldn't stand a bloody chance trying to learn it as a second language!

People who don't say thank you with a hand up/light flash when you've given way to them on the road. It causes quite irrational rage on my part.

treacle
The mobile thing is pretty bad, isn't it? I don't think it's even my most irrational hatred, either - it happened to me yesterday so it was uppermost in my mind and that's why I posted it.
Another one is when people are reading a newspaper on a train and they turn the page. It makes me fucking furious. There's a guy who gets the same train as me in the morning and he always brings a carrier bag full of newspapers and "reads" them constantly from the moment he sits down til the moment he gets off. I can't be in the same carriage as him.
People asking me to repeat myself makes me internally fly off the handle too.

Women who spend an absolute AGE in the toilet cubicle. What the hell do you do in there??? I'm a trousers/knickers down, pee, wipe, clothes up and OUT. Average 1 minute.

Slightly unreasonable possibly.

people who sit right back in their seat while driving

notice it seems to be more young men that do it

I am not sure why it annoys me so much but it really really does

The amount of time DH spends doing a poo. It. Does. Not. Take. That. Long.

I love DP. I really do but......

Why, why does he tell me to hurry up when we are going out for the day, then when I've got my coat on and DD has hers on he decides to go for a poo.

There we are, hanging around by the front door listening to him plopping away in the bathroom. I'm like this and DD is like this

Drives me mad.

Chewing gum. In all forms, chewed by anyone, ever.

people who call their dog away as soon as it comes up to my dog even if both dogs are being perfectly friendly towards each other. Especially when they say 'Leave it!' as well. Makes me feel slighted on behalf of my dog.

Cyclists dinging their bells at me when the zoom up behind me on a pavement.
People eating. especially dp

People walking along texting. Look where you're bloody going!

Agree with people taking an age in the ladies at work.

DH breathing through his mouth in his sleep.

I am a dramatic yawner though. Can't help it, its like a big stretch and yawn at the same time.

I sneeze - sometimes up to 14 times in a row No idea why. I don't have hayfever.
I'm not worried about anyone thinking IABU, I'm trying to clench everything after two large babies and two lots of stitching/tearing/cutting the old pelvic floor isn't so good .

My unreasonable peeve (Well it's not unreasonable) children screaming as they play.(NDN is a CM)
There is no need at all to scream.
I sometimes want to offer them a good reason to scream

And no, my DC weren't screamers.

People who don't read at all but make out like it's sooo weird that you do. Like, soooo weird. (Fantasises about feeding their hair into the shredder and running away.)

Omg I feel your pain - I actually threatened to leave dp when I was pg if he switched the router off at the plug again.

if i am on a rare night out then ladies who take ages in the toilet when im desperate for a wee.......what the hell are you doing in there????

DH and socks. I can't put into words how much this winds me up. If he gets a hole in his sock, he throws one sock away, because he says "why would I throw the other sock away when there's nothing wrong with it?"

BECAUSE THEN YOU HAVE ONE SOCK! AND NOW YOU HAVE A DRAWER FULL OF ODD SOCKS WHICH YOU WON'T WEAR BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE ODD SOCKS!

Also the fact that he doesn't close the wardrobe before getting into bed.

And when he's in bed he pulls the duvet over him by the corner so we end up with an wonky duvet. I like a straight duvet.

Other than that he's perfect

People who stop in the middle of a supermarket aisle, people who stop in the middle of the pavement. Basically all people who stop.

People who over-stir their cereal DH. Cereal never needs stirring, and certainly not ten times. He even re-stirs between mouthfuls.

Coffee I buy my DH 6 pairs of identical sports socks and 6 pairs of identical M&S socks. Then if he does throw one out, we've got partners.
Then when I feel that they are too shamemaking for him to be seen in, I throw them out,

Yes, I BUY MY HUSBANDS SOCKS
