Small unreasonable things that annoy you

[WalkingWolf]

Here are mine...

My mum putting hair clips in DDs hair.

Fil is obsessed with mowing our lawn in the summer. Of course it's lovely of him to do but he never tells me he's coming and just let's himself in. Really winds me up and I have no idea why.

Another Fil one. Whenever he comes over, if there are any dirty dishes in the sink, he insists on washing them. You can't stop him. The problem is that he doesn't actually wash them. He kind of dips them in the dirty water they've been soaking in, then puts them straight on the drainer.

Of course I wouldn't ever complain about these things and I'm definitely BU to be annoyed.

So tell me about the small things that shouldn't annoy you, but do.

Just to say, my FIL is a lovely man who I really get on with. He just does a lot of annoying things!

People who park in my parking space even though I don't actually have a car. Totally irrational but it really pisses me off!

My neighbours parking like arseholes. It doesn't effect me in the slightest because my parking area is somewhere else, but whenever I see those bloody cars parked over the lines, so only 3 cars can get into 4 spaces, I get quite irritated.

When my OH puts talcum powder on his b*llocks, only half the tub goes all over the floor/bed wherever he decides to put it on.

Then he says 'but its not messy, its talcum powder!'

Balled up socks in the washing basket. Unroll the bloody things so I don't have to dry heave every time I do a load of darks. DH has foot dandruff

Loud chewing. My DP is like a horse with a cabbage and generally I don't bother but if he catches me when I'm already in a bad mood then I actually have to leave the room. It makes me boke.

I also get really irrationally annoyed when I see someone reading the newspaper over someone else's shoulder on the train. It doesn't affect me in the slightest but I get really annoyed.

When the same bloody woman keeps blocking our drive. It makes me angry even though it's always been when DP is at work and not due back.

But this woman doesn't know that!

The other day I saw her park IN THE MIDDLE of the school car park, blocking two cars in their spaces, while she ran out to do the drop-off. She obviously don't give a shit who she inconveniences.

People sitting next to me on the bus.

Slurping tea..............arrrggghhhhh

My colleague that sit next to me eats and drinks so loudly, 'Cruch, crunch, crunch crunch' 'Gulp, gulp, gulp gulp'. He seems to do it quickly and noisy. I have to go and leave and do something else like photocopying.

He isn't in until the end of the week now so at least I get a few days peace.

People who hang up the loo roll the wrong way round. They are even worse than people who don't replace the loo roll when it's finished.

Yep, I have a sock balling DH too. Even worse when he takes them off downstairs, balls them, and leaves them on the couch.

DH walking up the stairs a million times, stepping over whatever is on the stairs to be taken up next time someone goes up. He is incapable of bending down, picking it up, but will take ginormous steps over it just to avoid it. Drives me maaaaaad.

Foot dandruff?!

People eating cereal.

Plates and cups being left all over the house! How hard is it to bring them into the kitchen when the (adult) children concerned seem to be in the kitchen every 5 minutes anyway?

Oh, and definitely socks, son wears two pairs, one inside the other, under his work boots and then puts them straight in the laundry basket. I hate socks!

When your in a rush and there's a long que. Nipped in for one item in petrol station, que to the door with one person serving. Irrational rage

DP people reading over my shoulder.

People standing on the wrong side of the escalators on the tube.

My colleague jumping and exclaiming every time my phone's text tone goes (not very often in fact); she's heard it plenty of times, she knows by now what it is!

People with their bags on the seat next to them on the bus.

My DP pronouncing the 'l' in 'folk' and 'yolk'.

Strangers who touch you to get your attention. Poke me again and I'll crush you you rude bugger!

Oh leaving dirty crockery on top of the (empty) dishwasher.

Oh....so so soo many things mainly sound related. Noisy eating, the scraping of teeth on forks, scraping cutlery on plates, really heavy breathing! I have to hide my annoyance to these things so people don't think i'm a total loon.

...just remembered another, biting and picking nails! Bleurgh.

Other than that i'm a total delight, honestly!

DP + DSS getting anywhere near washing up =

DP displaces the grease from dishes/pan onto T-towel/dish cloth

DSS tits about, swilling his chocolate icecream bowl with a cm of water, and just swills and swills and swills and just give-it-here-I haven't got all day.

Pretty please (cheesey grin through barred teeth)

Oh, I also hate when people use names in direct speech. It's so unnecessary and makes me cringe. "How was your holiday?" "Oh, it was great, John, thanks for asking!"

John knows who you're speaking to, he asked the effing question!

Teaspoons in the sink. They DO NOT need to soak!
Loud chewing - fgs make an effort to keep your mouth shut when there's food in it.
Anyone who pronounces anything differently to me.
I'm a sock baller - it's the best way of ensuring that the pairs get in the wash together.

People who address me in the third person as in How's Andrew?

People whose reaction to a jammed photocopier is to walk away and find another making no effort to clear it and leave it for some other bugger to do.

DW's cousin's husband, pig-ignorant old fart who believes everything he reads in the DM.
