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.

I think he's looking for the hairbrush Frusso.

Gaaaaaaaah words on walls! As in, a stupid wooden sign in someone's bathroom saying "BATHE", or even more irrationally annoying, ones saying things like "LOVE".

UGH.

I am shocked and slightly bemused.
Bob has given it to the peach, because he has hair.

Today it's centralised banking.

I have a letter from Mr X at Branch Y.

I have a query about the letter
I called the number on the letter.
This is a centralised service. I can't call the branch directly and the person in the call centre has fuck all idea of what I'm talking about.

TV adverts. Specifically...

Nokia Ad - "honestly?" No. Lie to me you annoying twat. And the accompanying song 'honestly, I want to see you be brave'. Because buying a Nokia is a bloody brave decision isn't it?
Mecca Bingo - Twerking Cactus. Really? Thats the best you can do?
Some health insurance ad where she starts every sentence with "and"

I don't watch TV much. Makes me ragey.

Electric toothbrushes. They always fall over/off the shelf. ALWAYS. Why are they so top heavy?

I am pleased that I am not the only one - it's worse than fingers down a chalk board and is making me annoyed just thinking about it.

I'm so glad somebody gets enraged by that 'I wanna see you be brave' shit on the advert. That song has literally nothing to do with the product. You might as well advertise cornflakes using the song Ben by the Jackson Five.

'should of'
'nucular'
'try and'

All of the above give me the rage.

Both working full time - DH comes home plonks on sofa whilst I am cooking dinner, putting washing on, sorting dishwasher, feeding animals etc - no offer of help. Left him to clear up after as was fuming. Then he's putting his food together for tomorrow, I reminded that youngest DH is on school trip tomorrow so needs a pack lunch and he could do that whilst doing his own and got a look of complete shock! Argh!!!! So now hibernating in dining room to avoid explosion...

Hi have you ever read up on misophonia? You might find a few answers :)

^ was for cakecake I think it was!

My MIL 'washes' up things so they're visibly clean & when you run your hand over them you can feel the dirt. I rewash anything she does at our house but we regularly go round for dinner at hers...

How my DH eats biscuits. Our DD does it exactly the same.

The way DH never comes to eat his food when I tell him it's ready, so much so that usually I've half finished by the time he starts, AND it needs 30 seconds in the microwave as it's gone cold.

Also the way he has to check every door and window in the house before leaving, and go for a wee and put on his shoes, all during the time when I have already got the kids in the car and strapped in and am now standing by the door with the keys in the lock, tapping my foot. What was he doing during the previous half hour when I was getting the kids into their clothes/shoes, making sure they did a wee etc etc?????

Rogue apostrophes and other grammar mistakes also get my goat, especially when school do it!!!!!! I once pointed out that they had used practise instead of practice on a SPELLING book. And people who use 'are' instead of 'our'...

People who don't tell me that their children will not be continuing with my extra-curricular French classes, even though I say at the end of every term "Please tell me if you are not continuing as I have to give my pupil numbers to head office", and then seem surprised when I contact them to confirm they are not coming any more.

Two people I know who refer to their son as 'brother' when speaking to their daughter... e.g. "you go and play nicely with brother" He has a name, that you chose, use it, or say "your brother".

A radio advert locally for a nursery that has a child singing to the tune of "Happy and you know it", "If we're happy then we go to Manor House". Therefore implying that children who attend any other childcare provision are UNhappy......

I wouldn't mind it if it said, "We are happy when we go to Manor House". It may well be true but the other thing isn't.

Putting things BY the dishwasher not IN. This is like peeing next to the toilet instead of IN it. Irrational rage washes over me and I want to serve dinner on the table next to the plates and pour tea next to the cups.JUST PUT THE DAMN DISHES IN THE DAMN DISHWASHER. Sigh.

I'm a really easily irritated person so I have a long list of these, some have obvs already been covered but here are just a few:
People smoking those vapour 'pipe' things
People who stand by the door at work at 3.58 and wait until 4.00 exactly to clock out
People who drop litter
People who use parent parking spaces who don't have a child in the car
People who walk around the town with alcohol within working hours
People with tickly coughs
There are so many more and I know I'm being completely unreasonable as most often these things don't affect me.

People that interfere and continuously involve themselves in things that don't concern them.
People tapping things such as their feet, hands, pen etc. Drives me mad!
People that don't pull their weight with chores, expecting everyone else to do it.

Dh tipping putting the tea bags in the sink (right next to the bin) rather than straight into the bin, resulting in a near permanent tea stained sink.
Dh stacking dirty dishes on top of the dishwasher before then putting them into the dishwasher. Why load the dishwasher in 2 steps if you can do it in 1??
DH stacking everything on top of the dishwasher when unloading it before putting everything into the wrong cupboard.
People touching the lenses of their glasses with their fingers.
Greasy glasses.
The fact that I am always stuck on a country lane behind a slow tourist/tractor on my way home from work
Dh messing with my rear view mirror so the lines of the window and mirror don't line up anymore.

I could go on and on really

My husband hanging up laundry to dry. It's all crumpled in little balls as he just throws them on the drying rack. Then he puts them in the wardrobe when the clothes are still damp.

People who attempt to load my dishwasher (ensuring that I then have to unload it and reload it in a fashion that means dishes will ACTUALLY be cleaned)
'People' who wait until the precise second that the kitchen is spotlessly clean, before then coming and making themselves a really messy meal that involves the entire contents of the cutlery drawer and their own bodyweight in crumbs
People who don't know that the word 'you're' exists
People who can't spell
People who can't spell and think it's endearing or cute that they can't spell
'People' leaving their shoes right outside their designated shoe drawer in the hall
People who don't indicate at roundabouts

I could go on...

People who put their children in the car with a window open then stand next to it and smoke!
Also my other half who unbuttons the top two buttons on his shirt then pulls it over his head so I have to do the rest everytime I wash them
