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

MrsH - Cherubino is typically a soprano in travesti
"He" gets the girl in the cases where the alto is a man, like Giulio Cesare!

When you exit the mixed sex toilets at work, a man is waiting and charges straight into the loo you've just vacated. It's not wrong, but it feels wrong.

Likewise when a man comes out of the loo section and you go in and enter a cubicle, sit down and the seat is warm.

I stand corrected. I'm mezzo really so my old repertoire could be anything

When I say to dh "Remember..." and before I can finish my sentence he does these wide eyes like I'm going to ask him the specific date and time he last freaking farted or something ridiculous.

And then I say "...yesterday when I said about going to tesco tomorrow?"

And he still looks at me like I've asked him to quote pi to 395692 decimal points.

OH and people who say

"I seen that the other day."

No. You SAW that. SAW SAW SAW.

Everyone I know does it and my head automatically corrects them every time.

Entirely the wrong place to moan about this but I absolutely HATE this dd/ds/dh/dc business.
Actual abbreviations for expressions used in real life ie MIL = mother in law, fine.
But I never hear anyone in real life referring to their offspring as "the Darling Children"

What's wrong with D, S and H? Why do they have to be "Darling" as well? A lot of posters referring to their husband or partner certainly don't seem to be thinking of them as "darling".

honey I'm with you on that!!
Think we killed the thread though

The way DP hangs out the washing.
The way DP scrunches pairs of socks into a ball.
The way DP leaves soap suds all over the washing up.
The way DP asks me a question, I answer and 10 minutes later asks me exactly the same thing.
Hmm, think there's a pattern here ...

honey and where I'm with you on that too. The first D is always unnecessary. Becomes very confusing when DF can be friend, father, fiancé or fiancée too.

When you cut into one of those red net bags that satsumas come in, and little shreds of red plastic fly everywhere.

On FB selling sites : Need gone.

On FB : I done that.

The way relatives pronounce certain words.

When buying eggs,don't like how the cashier checks they are not broken,makes me feel 8 years old,sometimes i pick out some eggs with minor cracks,slight leak,just for the challenge of getting them out of the box and to annoy the staff by insisting on buying them - i do like to live on the edge.

honey and others, I always thought the 'Dear' part of 'Dear Husband/Son' etc was meant to be sarcastic?

I hate it when people on tv read out tweets. They sound so frigging stupid. Especially when they read out 'hashtag love the show' or something equally inane, and when they read out the whole twitter name like 'at mr john smith' - just leave out the @ fgs! Twitter comments should be left on Twitter IMO as they usually sound stupid when read out. I wouldn't go on Twitter and describe what's going on on telly so why do the reverse!

ITV2 and Soccer AM are particularly bad for this. Soccer AM is a whole other irritation but DH likes it.

When people comment on photos of children saying he or she is "so grown up" when they are actually about 3 years old and they just had a haircut or something. No, they don't look like a grown up they look like a toddler.
Also people who refer to their boy toddlers as "little man"...again, he is not a man, he is a toddler. Stop it.

And another thing... when and why on earth have people, started saying 'super' instead of 'very'?

It's super easy etc.

Why why why?

When you cut into one of those red net bags that satsumas come in, and little shreds of red plastic fly everywhere.

The woven ones? If you pick out one thread and pull it out, you will get a split right from one end of the bag to the other, and no shards. It's awesome. I discovered it once when like you I didn't want to cut it and get bits everywhere so I thought "I'll pull one of these threads out, it probably will just bunch up and not make a hole but it's worth a go" and the whole thing split neatly down the middle.

It's the small victories that keep you going

Tim Lovejoy. Not sure if that is unreasonable though

I agree with about 98% of these. My particular bug bear is children's ages... How old is little flossy? Oh she's 36 months. Arghhhhh NO NO NO she's 3 years old FGS!!

When people type 'I said we was going to dinner' or similar. Surely you must know it's 'are/were'? Why would you type 'was' instead?

Sorry, grammar, punctuation and spelling are a massive bugbear of mine. And no, it's not enough that you can just about get your meaning across. And also no, the evolution of language doesn't excuse you from being literate.

Paragraphs. Yes, I DO judge you if you type a huge post with no paragraphs, no proper sentences, use 'u' and 'r' instead of 'you' and 'are' which is basically just a stream of ill-thought out consciousness. I won't read it, let alone offer advice.

I also judge you for over-use of emojis and for over-complicated explanations of some extremely trivial breach of etiquette with multiple participants who you've called A, B.C, D, E, F and G. And Q.

Perhaps I should stop now.

toomuchtoold can't wait to try that!

When my kids leave their dirty washing on the floor NEXT TO the laundry basket! They can manage to carry it all the way to the laundry bin, but that extra effort of actually putting clothes into it is just too much for them! Actually this is not unreasonable at all, they need to bloody learn to put laundry in its correct place!

An unreasonable one (and I'll probably offend many people with this) is calling the Easter holidays (or Christmas holidays for that matter) "half term"! NO NO NO, it's not half term!!! Half term comes HALFway through the term, hence the name. When the schools break up at the END of term, it's called the holidays. This one makes me inwardly growl with rage!

sock that drives me bananas too but I think it's regional: I've only ever heard "half term" for end of term since I moved to The North.
