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

Totally agree CaptainCrunch. If there is one thing guaranteed to get my blood boiling,it is people fannying about at ATMs. And why does it nearly always seem to be men?!

Nothavingfunrightnow - you are so right with the finishing your sentence thing - had an ex work colleague who did this and so I used to change what I was going to say deliberately to try and throw her off!

Hi Guys what can I get you - in a restaurant or bar

Hairdressers/ nail techs etc. who want to chat like you're friends or something

Anyone travelling on the same bus as me - the same for planes & trains

Multiple exclamation marks

So many more that should probably be kept to myself - I am terribly intolerant, hate people and am easily enraged!

People who run for a bus and gaily jump on in front of everyone that has been politely queueing for the last 10 minutes. Groups of people congregating in shop doorways to chat. People with pushchairs trying to get on the back exit doors of buses BEFORE letting people get off. This particularly infuriates me as I am disabled and use a walking stick. I am perfectly capable of getting off a bus provided there is not someone with a buggy the size of a Sherman tank trying to ram my legs! People who take more than 10 minutes in a public toilet. Come on! Its a PUBLIC toilet! People who keep making that annoying clicking/tutting sound with their mouth (seems to be common with a baby in tow). Men on public transport that sit with their legs spread wide apart. My DP facing me and breathing in my face when I am trying to sleep. People drumming their fingers. People who go 'aaahh' after every sip of drink. People who cannot sneeze quietly and make me jump out of my skin when they errupt. People who expect you to answer the front door within a nano-second of knocking. I don't lurk just inside my front door all day JUST IN CASE you decide to call!

People complaining endlessly about someone else's terrible manners or pet foibles in a personal attack sort of way when the other person is of another culture and just doing what that other culture does (or doesn't) do.

Love this thread.
Any sentence that starts "I'm the sort of person that..."
Anyone leaving on the TV/lights in an empty room.

Sniffing. I now ask pointedly "Do you need a tissue?"
Having my feet touched.
Delivery men complaining they cannot find my house with the sat nav USE GOOGLE EARTH YOU MORON, YOU'RE A DELIVERY DRIVER AND IT SHOULD BE THE MOST USEFUL THING EVER INVENTED AS FAR AS YOU ARE CONCERNED.
Asking DC if anyone needs the toilet repeatedly and they always say no, but then need a wee as soon as they sit down to eat/get in the bath/leave the house.
-Lazy- people asking me SPECIFICALLY what they should buy my DC for Christmas/birthdays. I know I am being U as they only want to get them something they will like, but USE YOUR IMAGINATION or at least ask what kind of things they are keen on, rather than EXACTLY what they want. Ditto for myself, I would quite like to get a surprise sometimes.
People pretending to offer to help with absolutely no intention of doing so.
Attention-seekers.
People on Facebook who confess their undying love for each other. Euggh.
I am inwardly seething most of the time.

we had jacket potatoes last night... "OH NO I DON'T EAT POTATO YOU SEE". I need to get some milk in for breakfast tomorrow... "NO I DON'T BUY MILK BECAUSE I JUST DON'T DRINK IT YOU SEE." Someone bought in a great birthday cake at work... "I JUST DON'T EAT CAKES YOU SEE

Just reading that made me want to scream . Well done for not shooting/strangling them.

Customers at work who think they can call me by my name just because I'm forced to wear a name-badge. You don't know me so don't DO THAT.
Slow walkers.
People who stop in the middle of pavements/aisles/doorways for no apparent reason.
People DP getting annoyed when I'm engrossed in a book and don't want to talk.
People touching my feet. At all. I've been known to kick.
Lights being left on.
When you purposefully go to bed early and can't sleep until just before your alarm goes off.
Having to make small talk with waiters, checkout assistants etc. I know you have to talk inanely at me but I still hate it!
People who just barge past you and don't apologise or say excuse me.
Everyone on public transport, in queues, wherever.

I think it's best if I just live on my own on an island and allow select people to visit very very occasionally.

DH eating cereal

Inconsistent Facebook behaviour (e.g. left wing meme, followed by polar opposite Daily Fail article). It's not Shakespeare, just bloody read it before clicking 'share'. You look confused.

People who prepare egg without checking how you like it. It's like steak. You need to ask.

Teenage DS telling me to 'relax' whenever I ask him to do something or reprimand him about something.
Gives DH and me the absolute RAGE

Totally with OP also on 'your'.
Are you still doing 'your jogging '?

It isn't 'mine' and it is running not jogging.

OOOOH and PEOPLE WHO SPEAK WITH THEIR NORMAL ACCENT THEN PUT ON A PONCY CARTOON VERSION OF A FRENCH OR ITALIAN ACCENT FOR POSH FOODS.

Funnily they don't put a New York accent on for a burger, a German accent on for frankfurters or a Chinese accent on for Pak Choi. Just the 'sexy'/posh accents as they see them.

On a par with people who went on a gap year in 1996 and mispronounce Indian words/place names, appropriate stuff like crazy (no but they went on a gap year) and think anything curry means it was invented in a curry house in Birmingham.

Clay bury- one of my " things" is that jogging has become running. I know why it has - because jogging implies you aren't really trying and running sounds cooler. But unless you actually need to escape from something or get somewhere as soon as possible ( genuine reason not personal best ) then it's jogging.

Anyway I hate over head hand luggage. The airline has made you take a bag small enough to go under the seat. Put it there. That way everyone can get on the plane in less time than it takes to bloody fly there. And you don't block the back rows when it's time to get off.
Or at least let the " under the seat" people get on first so the rest of you can faff.

People asking me what book I'm reading.....really, really, really winds me up! I;m reading a book I do not want to engage with people because if I did I would;t be fucking reading!

Hash tags on Facebook. Fuck off you stupid cunting things!

forgive the typos my ; is in a different place than ' on this keyboard and that also pisses me off

People who pronounce onion with a g in it, so "ung-yun" aaaaaaahh

Not being able to park anywhere near my house when we live in a small hamlet and we're the only house without a driveway??!!

Daylight saving. Annoying in both October and March when CHILDREN ARE IN A ROUTINE

If something's broken (or, they don't have the 'knack' ) DM and her DP both have this habit of trying to 'fix' whatever it is by banging it. Examples include our new front door 'oh the handles stuck SLAM (chips paint)' 'oh I can't work the TV WHACK (nothing happens)' or 'I think your phones frozen -- tap tap on the table (again, nothing happens). Not done violently, just a bit stupidly. Drives me nuts!

My dh drives me crazy when he announces that he is going out to run an errand/meet friends etc... then just sits on the sofa for another twenty minutes! I don't know why but it absolutely infuriates me! I don't care if he stays or goes, just don't announce you're going out and then just bloody hang around!

Another dh one (I really do love him completely I swear!) but he is the slowest walker on the face of the planet! I'm short and he is well over a foot taller than me but he moves at a snail's pace and gets testy with me because I'm always ahead of him, I have to slow down to his pace 9 times out of 10. We argue about this more than anything else actually lol.

My husband leaving squeezed teabags on the draining board instead of the bin which is right next to the kettle. Every.flipping.time.

Colleagues who staple paperwork too far away from the top left corner so I can't fold the corner back neatly. I've started taking out badly positioned staples and re-stapling them properly.

When architects call a design 'honest'

Poncey, much.

My dh does the "your" thing but actually attaches responsibility to it as well. So if we are at the supermarket getting stuff for tea and i suggest we have carrots and pick up a bag of them and put them un the trolley- from this point they are forever "mine". "Are you going to peel YOUR carrots?" "Are you wanting me to cook YOUR carrots?". Fuck off they are not mine!!
