My neighbour is engaging in her daily chat right outside my door. She has a voice like someone strangling a duck, and she spends half her life having loud conversations in the middle of the street. Her daughter lives down the road and has the same voice, but half an octave higher and a bit louder.

She is also the most middle-class woman in the world and has now been talking for about twenty minutes about her front step and how it improves the look of the street.

She's very sweet, but her voice is going right through my head. What utterly unreasonable things are you irritated by today?

Ah yes I have heard of this type of half nakedness, but I avert my eyes quickly and think of Jon snow before that pasty sweaty image bores a hole in my head.

Scratching armpit is bad as is scratching bumpit. -Shivers-

Illiterate people who can't spell... Putting up ridiculous comments to cousins self indulgent photos and stating things like "arr, don't she look like are Shell?" Or "I'll be round at youres", or "were was that taken". Gets on my wick.
Rant over.

Am visiting pils and they eat low fat shite. Yogurt, mayo & the worst of all - skim milk! Coffee is not coffee with skim milk...makes me want to vomit. I know they are secretly envious of the single cream Dh and I use. How could they not be?

Colleague who bangs on and on about what a fabulous job she does especially when anyone from management is around. The reality is that she only does what we all do, except the rest of us don't make a song and dance about it. Yesterday I had to sit on my hands as I could quite happily have punched her lights out.

I'm pissed off that the people over the road started chainsawing their garden before 8am this morning. Warm morning, windows open and now household wide awake.

DearestMommy · 11/07/2015 08:54

Crimblecrumble · 11/07/2015 09:46

People on the bus who don't wear deodrant.
People who make unecessary noises, lipsmacking etc.
Anyone else who lives in our block of flats and dares makes noise i can hear, i know i am U but its hot and i'm pregnant so can't everyone do the decent thing and stfu?!

DeladionInch · 11/07/2015 10:54

Dearest a colleague of mine snorts like Daddy Pig mid sentence. It's most disconcerting!

People who sneeze in confined spaces without covering themselves, thinking in particular of an ex work colleague who had smelly sneezes

LeonardoAcropolis · 11/07/2015 19:24

I am very irritated by the word Applesauce. It should be two words, dammit.

IDS (Ian Duncan (fuckwit) Smith air punching over the budget announcement.

windchime · 11/07/2015 20:21

The word 'cuppa'. I absolutely cannot bear it. "Do you fancy a cuppa?" No. Fuck off.

Friend merrily telling me how she and her DH have now bought ANOTHER house to rent out, bringing it to a total of three, while she swans around her gorgeous garden with her slim figure and two babies with whom she fell pregnant at the drop of a hat and I have NO house and NO slim figure and worst of all no babies YES I FEEL AS THOUGH SHE HAS TAKEN MY SHARE AS WELL AS HER OWN IABU but :(

The cunting arsehole road that is named M25

Road humps make my boobs hurt

GilbertBlytheWouldGetIt · 13/07/2015 12:58

Twat posters who can't RTFT properly and then make personal attacks really fuck me off.

reni1 · 13/07/2015 14:53

I agree personal attacks are off, Gilbert, but often posters answer the original post rather than the drip feed, there just isn't always time to sift through 530 replies, especially when reading on a phone or tablet and not seeing the op's posts highlighted.

GilbertBlytheWouldGetIt · 13/07/2015 15:20

Yes, that's understandable. Personal attacks on other posters/the op based on a lack of comprehension of their posts are pretty bloody annoying though! definitely not talking about a specific example here, oh no

reni1 · 13/07/2015 16:37

Gilbert, you can spill on this thread since the title already says WABU Grin almost curious enough to search for Gilbert's recent threads and any attacking posters on them but too lazy in the end

GilbertBlytheWouldGetIt · 13/07/2015 17:17

haha! Very good. Nah, I'll only get people being U at me again. Wink
