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.

'Shop the collection'.

People who stand to close, eat loudly, eat with their mouth open, breathe loudly, touch you...,

People who talk shite and don't realise that they're boring everybody else to death or making them squirm with embarrassment for them.

Wearing outside shoes in the house.

Crumbs, dirt, dust not immediately swept or hoovered, dishes left lying around, rubbish not taken immediately to outside bins (inside bins, if only there was a vomit emoticon, yuck!!)

Animal hair or smells in a house. Actually anything that doesn't smell fresh and clean.

People who can't enjoy anything instead preferring to take lots of photos to post on social media so they can pretend they're enjoying themselves.

Selfies.

People who talk to loudly, why the fuck to they think I want their awful conversation inflicted on me? As for those who talk to loudly to me, how embarrassing, we're in public, talk to me not the entire planet.

Oh god got another one (happened today). People assuming that because I have a vagina, I'd jump at the chance to 'get my nails done' or 'go to a beauty spa for a facial.' Um...no thanks. I'm fairly low maintenance and don't appreciate being told 'we're all going to do this, you need to come, bet you can't wait'. Am I not pretty enough already and need 'beautifying?' arrggh

Dh cereal bowl which when he finishes eating always has half a bowl of milk left and he leaves it for me to put away.

Fil calling all young people youths (anyone under age 30). Example that youth who served in at the bank. Man fil man not youth. Also fil calls all children little ones.

Bad driving and not waiting for your turn. As someone who lives in london we have alot of 1 2 2 traffic lights. This is one road that splits into two lanes at the lights. After the lights it returns to one lane. Hence lots of overtaking and undertaking at lights..

Bad queuers....its easy if someone waiting you wait behind them not push in front with just one question. You hear me lady in post office today...

Smokers outside who walk past me and cover me with that terrible smoke that stinks....

Slow walkers. If slow keep in so people can over take you. [ grin]. Also tourist season in london alot of people dont seem to be able to walk properly with going slow then wondering all over the path

Drivers who watch me approach then decide they have room and pull out at a roundabout/junction. I drive a large vehicle, it's not like you can't see me.

People who barely know you using quite personal questions to break the ice - "do you have children? No, oh, why not?"

People who try and skip the queue - yes I can see you and yes it is me that is simply stating "no, there's a queue and it doesn't start there" coupled with a death-stare

The way Sarah Beeny says issues - it's pronounced iSHoos not iSSues

Also, wheeler dealers, formula 1 and TOWIE

I may be a bit of a miserable sod

Oven baked and pan fried as descriptions. Well how unusual is that to bake in an overn and fry in a pan?

People who use vocuhers to pay but stand AT THE CHECKOUT perforating them. Or they haven't actually bought the the thing the coucher relates to and have to have this explained to them.

People who over explain. "We went for breakfast. Paul had sausage, bacon and eggs, I had scrambled eggs on toast" - just leave it as we went for breakfast!

Anyone who calls my house phone - use my mobile please or I'll assume its some kind of emergency.

Forms which ask for daytime, evening and mobile numbers. Oh well since it's not the 90s anymore how about I give you the same one for all three? Also people sending faxes. Just no.

The teaching assistant for DC2's class.

Location x3 (although always watch so I can sneer - they asked for a 2 bedroom with a garden, not a 3 bed flat OF COURSE THEY DON'T LIKE IT BUT THAT'S NOT BECAUSE THEY'RE FUSSY IT'S BECAUSE YOU SHOWED THEM SOMETHING THEY DON'T WANT.

Fromage frais - urgh.

When people on here refer to "our school" rather than "the school my children attend".

Adults who are overly invested in Cbeebies. No I don;'t wonder if any of the presenters are romantically involved and I'm not interested in any In The Night Garden Sub Plot. I also don't beleive that you are "more excited than the kids" at going to see Cbbeebies live - or whatever it is.

The handwriting of a woman who sat next to me on a course last week. It was inspid and I didn't know before then handwriting could be insipid but hers was she was making rubbish notes too

My friend who tells me she knows what it is like to be a working mum because of that job she had for a month.

Indecsion about things that don't matter. The strawberry flavour or the raspberry flavour? Ooooh I just don't know. I had strawberry yesterday, but I'm not sure I'm in a raspberry mood? FOR THE LOVE OF GOD JUST PICK ONE.

I might be slightly irrational today.

Good grief! Stop moaning everyone!

Arseholes who beep their horn at the car in front to move the very second the lights turn green.

vezzie
the printer. "if you have no intention of collecting your printing...." wtf?! what makes you think the person "had no intention"

I pinned a notice up like that once. And sent an email. I know. I still cringe now.

The person who parks on the double yellow lines outside the school my kids go to when doing pick up or drop off. Yes, I know its closer to the gates, but the school bus cannot get past when you park there. Not to mention the fact that it reduces the visibility for children crossing the road.

And yes, I know who you are. Your son is horrid. He spits, yes actually spits on my son and chases him around so he can pull his jacket and push him over. I have witnessed it many times. And no, when my son runs away from yours, he is not trying to initiate a game of tig.

Lazy, entitled, crap parenting bastards.

...and breathe....

people who use "real" to mean "very" (or at best, "really")

"it was real hot" - and there I thought it was fake hot!

childfree friend who knows all about parenting because she did a course once...

Dirty dishes and especially teaspoons on my nice clean draining board.

Guests 'washing up' by merely rinsing dishes in cold water and putting them to drain. I can't contain myself, I have to beg them to leave it to me.

Beards

This is sooo funny! Just got to end of page 2, will continue later on.
Mine are

Inlaws totally inability of getting out the door in time & going anywhere being a faff. When I mean inlaw this is his folks, his sis, his bro & their kids. So for example we meet for lunch somewhere for 12.30. Easy enough, be at place for 12.30. Nope, phone starts ringing early morning, inlaws are picking up SIL kids and then SIL are joing us later / They are going to be late / can we drop by to drop in the extra car seat for them as FIL must mow the lawn NOW despite having all week to do it etc etc. it just gets on my tits that we can't simply meet at a pre arranged time without it turning into a drama.
SIL and hubby. They drive me insane. Like we will be at a friends house. They have one 2 seater sofa so you just bunch up or sit on the floor. Nope not SIL and hubby. They spread themselves out both laying across it snuggled up. Rude. Or as soon as they arrive they have this way that everyone gets embroiled in what ever drama is going on. They are the kind of people when the leave it all of a sudden becomes peaceful.
Oh I could go on ........

Today it was hearing about the 'flu jag' someone had had. It's a JAB. You get Jabbed. Aaarrrgggh.

People that think I am the answer to any childcare problems they might be having and that it's very unreasonable to actually be out and about doing things with my own kids after school. Surely one or three extra wouldn't make a difference no?

Ok, haven't finished reading the thread yet, but am already enraged. Here are mine:

• People saying 'do you want some butter?' on a sandwich or baked potato and then giving me margarine! ARGHHHHH - you asked me if I wanted butter! I said yes, so give me butter, not your silly excuse for butter!!!

Stitch, my MIL does the 'washing' glasses by rinsing them under a cold tap. Urgh! I don't care that you've only had a quick drink of water out if it.

And when people don't wash the rims of cups and glasses, but just dunk them in the water and wash the bottom inside. Cold sores and other germs left lurking on the rim.

Which is why I own a dishwasher...!

DH leaving all the cupboard doors open in the kitchen.

Poor parking that gobbles up parking spaces.

3 mobile in general.

People staring into DDs pram do not understand the fascination with strangers' babies

People who take forfuckingever to move off when lights go green.

MOVE!!!!!!

Selfies

Unexpected (and unwanted) visitors turning up at the worst possible times
