Tell me about things that really piss you off even though you know you're being unreasonable...

[CrazyNewDogLady]

I'll start.

My mum always puts 'your' in front of every single activity, work, hobby I do and it annoys the fucking life out of me. For example, me and DH bake a cake every Saturday because we're cool like that. Every time we speak on Saturdays she asks 'Did you do your baking today?'. I find it patronising, like she's saying 'Did you do your little baking activity today? Ah, good girl'.

I know I'm BU. I know she doesn't mean to be patronising but it boils my piss. But because I'm BU, I can't say anything. So I have to just fume quietly and vent on MN

People that can't speak without the constant use of 'like'. Girl behind me talking to friend next to her must have said it over 50 times in the space of about 10 minutes. not that I was bored and was counting

Bloody corner shop owners who advertise their shop as:
Open 7am-LATE

When is late exactly? To me, late is 2am. To my elderly Grandma, it's 8.30pm. And your definition of late might be totally different again i think you're being vague so you can close whenever you like

Just tell me what time your fucking shop shuts!

People who say obviously more than once in a sentence or too many times in a conversation!
My boss's son says obviously every other bloody word!
I counted how many times he said it in a 5 minute phone call and it was 19!!!

Nothing he said was 'obvious' in the first place !

People on buy and sell Facebook groups who a) write captions like 'bought this last week but changed my mind, paid £299 want £298 for it' if it was truly a week old you could just return it. That piece of shite is clearly a year old, well worn and never was worth £299 in the first place
b) who comment 'wots the lowest u wud go' badly spelled, rude and by the way the phrase is "is that your best price?" or "would you consider x pounds?"
c) people who type 'need gone' your desire to be rid of your crap quickly has no bearing on its desirability to me or anyone else
d) people who comment something inane like 'would you say this is more of a sky blue or an azure blue' on something that is chuffing well free, don't reply again for three hours, only to ask if you'll deliver it, then moan that you let it go to the next commenter I know you live round the corner, I am not delivering it! If you wanted it, you should have said
e) people who write posts like 'found out yesterday I'm 8 months pregnant and need clothes for a boy urgently. If anyone can give me some things free, as I'm skint please. Next, Ralph Lauren and baby Gap only. Must be immaculate. Haven't got a car so delivery only. Erm, no.

And breathe. Rant over.

My husband sidling up for a cuddle while I am washing up or cooking BACK OFF NOW

Stacey off of Eastenders referring to 'my bipolar'

Mumsnet posters' horror of 'Americanisms'

My mother's use of the word neckpiece when referring to a necklace - no clue where she came up with that

Plus almost all of the above....how do I go outside?

When people/magazines refer to meals as "eats" and craft projects as "makes".

People who use "myself" incorrectly.

Jargon used to make the speaker sound more intelligent but actually makes them sound like an idiot

People who eat/drink/breathe unnecessarily loudly (looking at you, irritating colleague)

Speaking of my irritating colleague, people who don't listen to what you tell them and then come to you later with a million stupid questions that they wouldn't have if they had just listened in the first place arrrrrgh

People who put -ed on the end.
Its Roast Potato. Not Roasted.

People who describe magazines as books.

People saying "for you" or "for me" piss me off. "Can you take the meeting, for me" or as my dh says "i did the washing for you"

I swear it makes my pulse go up

When people/magazines refer to meals as "eats"

Oh God, this. I loathe it.

Facebook posts saying 'I bet this little girl with cancer will not get an Amen' or 'Will this old guy who has loads of medals get over 100,000 likes' and if you don't like it then obviously you are unpatriotic

My DM does the Wai'rose things - it has a T in it!

My Dsis who has a big swanky banking job still says 'liddle' instead of 'little'

Sainsbobs
Sainsbos
Mr T's (Tesco)

Very, very irritating

People who use 'my' locker at the gym.
People who stand in 'my' space in classes at the gym.
People who use 'my' bike in RPM.
People at the gym who don't take their towels to the showers and drip water over the floor where I am trying to get dried and dressed.
People who swim too slowly, or too splashily in the pool at the gym.
People at the gym in general.
Unreasonable? Oh no not me.

Am I really asking them to define Fourier space instead of the perfectly simple "would you like a cup of tea?"

People who say 'could of' in stead of 'could have'

justDanceAddict - it's very comforting to know I am not alone.

I thought of some more.

People fluffing their hair in public spaces and it touching any part of me. I'm sure it's perfectly clean but it makes my skin crawl and feel the immediate need for some sort of decontamination ritual.

People chewing with their mouths open - it's disgusting.

My DB has to repeat everything at least three times to finish a sentence.

My Dbil - literally cannot make plans. And I do mean literally, he's that much of a Boho hipster. It's fucking irritating. Have complained about this on aibu before

People messing with my fridge organisation. No the open packet of ham does not sit next to the cheese on top of the raw chicken packet. Aarrrggghhh.

People trying to plan dates willy nilly. I don't need your fucking life story that's what doodle poll is for.

People who say willy nilly. Don't even know where that came from!

I never want this thread to end

People who lick yoghurt pot lids.

Do you love fucking Muller Light that much that you to lick the manky congealed bits off the foil lid to get every last morsel? Or is it that you have literally the last Muller Light other yoghurt brands are available in the whole world and you need to preserve every single little bit?

BTW, thanks for all the responses. Don't think I've ever started a thread where more than about 15 people have commented

When someone says they saw someone "off of" the telly or similar.

The colleague at work who talks when she eats so that you can see a pool of yoghurt on her tongue as she talks - and this is while blobs of yoghurt gather at the corners of her mouth.

when my Ex repeats the last word of whatever I say to him - when we were still together: What you would like for dinner? He'd reply: Dinner...

Where should we go today?
Today...

Are you going to take the kid to the park?
Park...

When I'm standing at the kitchen sink rinsing off a plate, minding my own business, then DP appears out of nowhere and pushes in beside me to fill the kettle/rinse his coffee cup out WHILE I'M STILL STANDING THERE RINSING MY PLATE. Can you not just wait till I'm finished??? You can see I'm standing here but you still insist on pushing in, sometimes shoving me completely out of the way!

Now when I'm rinsing/cleaning something and he pushes in, I just down tools and say "fine, YOU do it" and walk away

When people say "she went and got herself pregnant"

Newsflash: women usually need somebody's help to get pregnant.

Unnecessary levels of rage!

Mine are all public transport related:

• not thanking the bus driver when they get off the bus.

• putting bags on the seats of a packed bus

• deciding to sit next to somebody when the bus is practically empty

• personal space getting invaded

• people who get on the bus and have poor hygiene

• feet on the seats

The list is endless!!

I love this thread :)
I hate other people emptying my dishwasher.
Equally i fucking hate it when its empty and dirty stuff gets put on the side next to it 😡
I hate that ds8 waits until i go to the loo and then decides to raid the fridge/want to get something off a high shelf/ anything that requires my assistance. Hes always done it, but it drives me fucking crazy.
