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 who walk into/out of a shop and then stop dead just by the doorway, causing other people to be unable to walk anywhere. Get your shit together and stand somewhere that doesn't cause a traffic jam, you tools.
Actually that's not remotely unreasonable.

The way my DMIL says breakfast. "Brayke-fast" - rather than the clearly correct way, which is "Brek-fast." I can never ever stay over at her house, because if she said it to me too early in the morning I might have to shriek and run outside in my pyjamas.

She's lovely, which makes my irrational hatred of her Brayke-fast pronunciation even less okay.

Oh. My. God Binky - nooooooooo!!!!!

That's literally blown my mind

No, I can't even do it in jest. It has NOT LITERALLY BLOWN MY MIND OR I WOULD BE DEAD!!!!!!!

People who shorten my name without asking if it's OK to call me that.

My mother - similar to OP's - says 'the' French (at school) or 'the' dancing (lessons).

My mother People who say Wed-nes-day. When I hear the 'd' I want to scream

Dh eating. I can cope with everyone else eating but dh just annoys me.

Marking. It's very useful, it needs to be done, I do it regularly, but I hate it with a passion that is entirely disproportionate to the reality of it.

People who have dogs but leave them outside 24/7, 365 to royally fuck off everyone else living in a 1/4 mile radius with their barking at fucking EVERYTHING.

People whose noses whistle when they breathe.

People who bang/scrape their spoon on their cereal bowl excessively when they're trying to scoop up the last of the milk

People who audibly inhale at the same time they sip a hot cup of tea.

People who don't appear to have washed for a clear month and sit next to me on the bus.

One particular person who uses the word 'data' in the plural form - technically correct I believe, but even so, them saying "these data suggest..." gets my back up every single fecking time. I think it might just be the person rather than what they're saying.

I have lots of these, I'm very very intolerant and yiabvvu im sure.

Absurd abbreviations (in particular those which are actually no briefer when said). I know someone who abbreviates everything. Batteries are "batt batts". Hubby. Ridic. Hilaire.

Oh. Do. Fuck. Off

My MIL's insistence she should be able to go on holiday. Bloody cow having her own life

People pronouncing 'tongue' as 'tung.How do you think it should be said

It should be 'Tong' ! Why would you say 'Tung' ?

My daughter says tung...it drives me mad. She also says 'Could of' instead of 'Could have' Lucky for her she doesn't write it that way...because I would have to throttle her..

People who faff when they get into/out of a car. I used to have a mild crush on an ex-neighbour, purely for her ability to swing into her car, and drive off immediately. And she had two small children. Don't know how she did it.

Calling female family friends 'Aunty' (esp. pronounced Ant-y). A neighbour does this with everyone and I really dislike it.

Lol and Nom, obviously.

The queues in Aldi. And the way they throw the shopping at you, scanning it as quickly as possible.

Cashiers in other supermarkets, who ask how many bags you need, as if I'd know.

Self service machines.

People in the 'quiet' area of the library who talk or whisper loudly.

People who drive at 30 in a 60mph zone, during rush hour.

Wetherspoons breakfasts, with raw bacon, burnt toast and the egg I specifically asked not to have as I'm allergic.

Men who wolf whistle whilst curb crawling in their crappy little Fiesta with a different coloured bonnet to the rest of the car.

Happy hardcore music.

People who give fizzy drinks to small toddlers.

The price of Dominos pizza.

People who expect lifts everywhere.

People who come to visit me without any notice.

People scraping forks against their teeth.

"Could of"

II think the 'tong' pronunciation of 'tongue' is something that's come over from the States. It's definitely 'tung' IMO. think the 'tong' pronunciation of 'tongue' is something that's come over from the States. It's definitely 'tung' IMO

Eeeek!....it's not American..... It's an O not a U !!!

The sound of people eating, making mouth noises and generally breathing! I need therapy.

People standing on the pavement next to where you're trying to parallel park. I have been known to find their stares so offputting that I have given up and found a different place to park.

When people sign off an email with "best"
It annoys the crap out of me.

When my DM taps her nails on anything and everything-I know you've just had then painted but stop!

Oh and having the sound on phone so that you can hear every letter typed...

People I go to the cinema with who think it's ok to arrive late and miss the trailers.

Signing off emails as 'Best, name'. Best what?????

I say tongue 'tung' as does everyone I know! (Same as I pronounce 'tonnes' as 'tuns')

Ha X post waiting

The literally thing People in their gardens. What the fuck is that about? Get the fuck inside!

People who pronounce words wrong repeatedly e.g. expresso. DOES IT HAVE AN X IN IT?

It's definitely not definately.

The term "selfie". Also it's not a "selfie" if it's not of you and you didn't take it. It's just a photo.

When DH puts something on top of the dishwasher rather than IN it. When DH does his annual load of washing and throws the clothes on the airer rather than shaking out the creases and hanging them up neatly.

People who push in front of me to get on the train/tube. Queue-jumpers in general.

People who text/call to say they've just emailed me about something.

People who think they're mad/bonkers/crazy lolz and describe themselves as quirky. "I'm having a vintage wedding and we're going to drink cocktails out of teacups I know it's quirky lol."

Estuary English. It's "I did it" or "I have done it". "I done it" DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. STOP IT.

People who expect an immediate response to everything.

People who say "I'm sorry but". Not you're not.

People who say "I don't mean to be rude but". Yes you do.

Very fussy eaters who turn their nose up at certain foods.

Sexism.

Fly-tipping.

People who shorten words such as the chocolates = chocs example above. I once saw a group on Facebook called "Cheeky festy anyone?" and almost punched the screen.

People who try very hard to be unconventional.

My SIL wears deliberately odd socks and it makes me FUCKING FURIOUS.

I hate everything and everyone. I'm so angry I can't even remember the title of this thread.

I never ever heard of anyone pronouncing tongue as tong . It just seems so wrung to me

People who have really loud ringtones and leave their phone to ring when it's right in front of them.
ANSWER IT OR MUTE IT.

I say tung, and pretty sure I have at different times in my life said both envelope and onvelope. According to two youtube videos I've just googled, I'm correct.

tongue is pronounced tung

both envelope and onvelope are correct for envelope.

waiting, tophat, I agree that best is horrible - but not quite as horrible as my team member who insists on signing off with 'with my warmest and kindest regards, [name]'. He also sends this to people he barely knows.
