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 blow on their drink before they take a sip.
Why?
What earthly difference does it make?

People walking slowly ahead of me when I'm in a hurry

People being impatient and huffing/ pushing past me when I'm walking at a reasonable pace and they're in a hurry.

The SMA advert.

lollerskates - I also get insensed if the person on the other end of the phone can't hear me!

Whistling drives me insane!

In fact, most if the things on this thread do ;-)

I fucking HATE WHISTLING. FUCKING HATE IT!
And people using pacifically for specifically.
Toast sweat on the worktop.
People breathing too loudly.
Rustling in cinemas.

Basically all people who stop

I think it should be law that everyone in the country should, within their physical ability, move as quickly as they possibly can at all times. There is no need for a bunch of school kids or able bodied person to walk so flippin slowly. One of my 'nasty caaaah' moments was telling a colleague I work with that my hours had changed (they hadn't) because I walked to work with her and the speed at which she walked made me want to push her into traffic, so I said they needed me in 30 mins earlier

I hate the utterly bizarre fact that every time I read the word yawn, I want to yawn. Why?

Drivers who make crap or dangerous decisions, and then blame everyone except themselves.

Has anyone got an unreasonable discomfort/hatred for folk yawning massive great big open-mouthed yawns without covering their mouths?

This is the one my DD has...now wondering if anyone else has this one?

Your DD should go to China. They consider that massively rude, so it is incredibly rare.

Clarabum, I hate whistling to! I also hate people coughing.

DH does a fake yawn when we are arguing (especially if I am winning) to show how relaxed he is and how he's not even interested in the debate. ENRAGING

He also douses all meals in condiments (usually sweet thai chilli - on everything). This is particularly enraging when you have gone to great lengths to make a delicious meal WHICH DOES NOT REQUIRE DRENCHING IN SWEET THAI CHILLI - and he piles it on before he even tastes it

Ooh grammar is my thing. Yes I judge you when you use poor grammar!!!!! I get so wound up by it.

People not standing on the right on escalators. Matey boy chatting away about some bird he fancies whilst half of London Underground is trying to get past. MOVE!!!!!!

Oh and people who get to the ticket barriers, stop dead and then fumble around for ticket/oyster card. Sigh

Spanish and Italian tourists around St Paul's and Notting Hill Gate in London. They're all slow, noisy, and hog the footpath/station entrance/anywhere I'm trying to go in a hurry.

People who are speaking on their phones/texting whilst pushing a pram. Much bigger crime IMHO than walking and texting as you're already using a lot of the footpath for the pram.

Colleagues who eat yoghurt, slowly, painstakingly scraping the spoon off the sides and bottom of the pot in order to extract as much yoghurt as possible.

People who use the words 'muppet' and 'cow' as derogatory terms.

Anyone. who. puts. a. full. stop. after. every. single. word. in. a. sentence. in. an. unimaginative. and. wearisome. attempt. to. make. a. point.

vintagejazz I agree on fussy eaters! Also vegetarians. I despise anyone who has any sort of non-life threatenimg dietary requirement. DH, who does have life threatening allergies, hates them even more.

I also hate anyone with a Scouse or Geordie accent. And really southern state American drawls. I just want to punch them mid-vowel.

People who are into genealogy (I'm looking at you DGM) and think I need a 30 minute monologue on the church where great aunt's second cousin three times removed's grandfather was christened. I. Do. Not. Give. A. Shiny. Shite.

People who stand on the moving walkways in airports/waterloo tune and don't walk.

People on the tube who stand on the left.

People who pay in cash on London buses.

Fat people on the bus who spill into my seat, so I'm forced to perch on the tiniest sliver of seat with a wriggly baby on my lap. Fit into one seat. Even when I was enormously pregnant I only took up my fair seat share. SO SHOULD YOU.

People brushing their teeth in front of me. shudders

Botanicbaby hahaha! Brilliant cross post there!

DP eats chocolate at an insanely high volume. Stop it.

And then he whines that he's cold but sits there in a t shirt. YOU OWN A DRESSING GOWN.

Ahhhh.

I once saw someone brush their teeth on the tube WTAF /heaves

Families of 4 or more (including more than one adult) walking along busy pavement all holding hands meaning that no-one can get passed them.

Mum's (nannies, childminders, grandparents) walking along a busy pavement with prams, all in a row meaning that no-one can get passed and when you are walking towards them, get pissed off because you refuse to walk in the road so that they can chat.

Kids on scooters on busy pavements and their parents not telling them off when the weave all over the pavement so you don't know which way to go and end up dancing from side to side.

People who stop suddenly on pavements for no apparent reason and then yell at you for bumping into them!

(Yes, I have had to walk around town a lot today!)

I HATE Bristol accents. I apologise now for offending anyone, especially as my Dad is from Bristol, but I can't bear it.

Yes that makes me an unreasonable cow bag

Poor grammar. Flame me if you will but it's "he's" (as in "he is"), not "his"; apostrophes denote abbreviation or ownership; and will the World please take note that "they're eating their salad over there".

OOoh people (no longer an issue as DH is trained but my parents are serial offenders) who buy a tub of butter or marge, peel back the paper on top, scrape out some butter and then put the paper back and the lid on.

WHHYYYYYYYYYY just chuck the paper out FFS

Yes Feng - and people incorrectly using a possessive apostrophe for "its"

Yes, I'm with you on the poor grammar one. Also poor spelling. I've ruled out nurseries for DD solely on the basis of spelling mistakes on their website.
