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

I'm am so happy I opened this thread.
Have had the best laugh reading them.

People who say "eye talian" instead of Italian. There's no fucking need for it.

Water in rubber gloves

People who make plans with you and then ring or text about 62 fucking times to change/double check arrangements.

People who sit in the office with their shirts and thin trousers or skirts on while I'm shivering in my multilayers. And don't wear hats and scarves and still don't freeze. I hate you, you warm-blooded bastards.

People slowly pedaling the bikes at the gym..while reading their phone.
People sitting on the machines at the gym..while reading their phone.
People at the gym talking to me while I am working out, with ear buds on!
People at the gym.

Anthea fucking Turner... don't know why but she gives me the rage in a completely irrational fashion. Her and her beautiful folded fucking towels.

I love this thread. I'm such a grouchy bitch everything annoys me.

DH sneezes how I imagine an elephant would sneeze - fucks me right off. That phrase is bound to annoy someone. He he.

People walking behind you talking so loudly you are entirely in their conversation.

People shouting their conversations on Tubes because it's too loud. Ffs just wait to talk.

People eating, can't stand the sound have to have music on at all meals.

People that don't check the cubicles in the loo so I'm three people back waiting for ages and when it gets to me I find 5 cubicles free. Aarrrggghhh.

People sitting round in a circle, someone new arrives and they don't move to let that person join easily.

People that can't twirl their spaghetti and cut it up. You're not 5!! Unacceptable.

I could go on.

I started reading this thinking 'oh, look at these irritable mums netters' , but the more I read the more my own list of irritants raised its ugly head

People who call champagne 'champers'.

People who preface ignorant/stupid/rude opinions with 'I'm not being funny, BUT ......' They are quite right, they are not being funny.

People who do not read texts or emails and then waste group time asking questions about info they have been sent.

Any and all members of my family who leave washing up/shoes near the dishwasher/shoe cupboard, not in the dishwasher/shoe cupboard

My DD's boyfriend who complains that our family pause recorded TV so often that an hour long show takes 3 hours to watch. Me can watch it at his own house if our family interaction is interfering with his viewing pleasure.

All the tall people in the world who sit in front of my 5ft tall self in theatres and cinemas.

And breathe.......

Hmmm I think I agree wth all of these.
DH says Jan-ary and Feb-ary
There's a fucking U in both words!

Could of, would of etc
Slow drivers
Bad drivers

My cleaner moving things around. You don't need to do that to prove you cleaned it...it's fucking clean and I have to put things back!

Passive aggressive Facebook stati 'I'm in a bad mood' 'I feel like shit' 'fucking kids' why not just get to the point and avoid all the 'what's up huns'

The word hun....it's hon if you really insist

Hubby, hubs, bubba, bubs

People who ring me when they have shit reception (driving or just CBA to move to good reception), then instead of saying sorry reception crap and spitting out the important detail, start rabbiting blithely on while I can make out two words out of five sentences. I just hang up immediately now but then they ring back and I get another little flash of rage when they say, "Oh I don't know what happened then, anyway rabbit rabbit".

When DM is talking while eating but inbetween mouthfuls ( so no food in her mouth ) her voice has that fuzzy rattling quality which sounds like she needs to clear her throat. She doesn't notice and will carry on like that indefinitely. Sometimes I find myself clearing my own throat when she does this. Once I told her she must have got a frog in her throat when I couldn't stand it any more. That worked on that occasion only, then back to normal next time. Have been wondering whether she always did that and it didn't annoy me when I was younger, or whether it started more recently as she has got older.

Also yes to springydaffs about the wobbly camera work - keep that still already ! Just about acceptable in a horror film, not in a documentary or comedy drama ( the excellent Catastrophe had the wobbles I think ).

February has an "r" as well as a "u".

But then I was taught to say Wedensday, with the middle syllable pronounced as a schwa.

.

People, places and things. I am very easily irritated
However if i had had to pick one and only one it would be the leg jigglers. They rip my knitting. I sit across from a leg jiggler. My desk moves. I can feel the vibrations. I have told him if he doesn't stop I will commit an act of violence. He stops and five minutes later the leg starts again. Then he starts clicking his pen and I have to leave the room and kick a wall or do some breathing exercises. Grrrrrr

Anyone coughing or blowing their nose, particularly DH. It is just so loud!

People who keep buying stuff so the house is covered with junk, and you can't get in or out the door without tripping over it.

There are many, many things that make me irrationally angry, but a few of them come straight to mind.

1. Posts from women's magazine pages on Facebook that scream in capitals: "You've been doing XXX WRONG your WHOLE life!!!!!! This will BLOW YOUR MIND when you realise!!!!!" when you click through it's an article about the correct way to take makeup off or how to peel a potato. These articles give me the rage and I have had to unfollow lots of the guilty pages!
2. On a similar note, posts that say "Mind = Blown"
3. When my DH does the washing up, he puts the cutlery in any old slot on the drainer, sometimes even upside down! Does he not realise there is a System in place here?!
4. Posts from friends on Facebook that contain the words "brought" instead of bought, "defiantly" instead of definitely, "pacific" instead of specific, "exited" instead of excited, and numerous other offenders. My blood starts to boil when I read them and I sometimes have to hide people for a while!
5. People spelling my name wrong. Imagine I'm called Tracey (I'm not) but people always spell it Tracy. Or Claire, but people write Clare. It irritates the HELL out of me. My sister in law is the worst for it, again on Facebook - she's known me 23 years, and even if she forgot my spelling, my name is clearly there on my posts (eg.) my post is labelled Tracey Smith and then she will comment, That's great Tracy. Aaaaaaargh!

Ooh that one above about Eye Talian has made me think of another one that makes me livid!!! My DH pronounces some words really stupidly (he claims it's cos his Dad said them the same) eg. Eye Talian for Italian, Fillum for Film, and the two that set my teeth on edge are street names in our town: he pronounces Angela Street "An-JEE-la" Street, and Charlotte Street "Char-Lott-EE" Street.
Yet, if he were to chat to women named Charlotte or Angela, he'd be perfectly capable of saying their names correctly! It's just in Street Name form that he comes up with this claptrap!

SAHMs who complain to be extremely busy just because a kid has an activity twice a week. WTF? I work FT, do the chores, take DS to activities, have time to myself and don't go on cancelling things because I need to pack a bag for a holiday that won't take place in a few werks.

Weeks, weeks!

My mum pronouncing master card with a long a-'maaaarster card'.She is northern and doesn't use a long a for any other word.
She also pronounces 'Gatwick', as in the airport, as two words with a pronounced 't'-'GaT wick'. I can't fly from Gatwick anymore because to do so would mean telling her I am and then having to listen to her say it!

Breakfast radio DJ's who try to be funny and quirky. No. just no. My DMum loves some annoying duo and was saying how the male makes up a song every week about a different suburb in the town we live in and sings it. Shudder. She was most put out that I'm not in the least bit interested in tuning in.
People who say: 'hun' 'hubby' 'bub' 'bubs' 'cami' 'panties'
People who don't have children who think it is their god-given right to give parenting advice.
Attention seeking fbook posts.
People who constantly share 'memories' on fbook. Occasional ones are fine, not 5 fucking memories a day!
People who start a conversation 'I don't want to sound rude/no offence/don't take this the wrong way . .. but . .. ' Yes you are being rude/offensive and saying that does not make it any better, in fact it makes it worse as you're trying to make out you're not a total opinionated fucktard.
People who 'describe themselves as 'blunt' (and think it's so funny and great). No. you are just fucking RUDE. Piss off.
People who try very hard to be 'quirky' and 'different.'
People who reply to fucking all to say something that could have been just sent to the sender. And the 50 other pointless reply to alls that will follow it within 5 minutes and clog your inbox.
Kids down my street who insist on scootering to school when it is a narrow footpath on a steep hill road. No I'm not going to jump out the way and push my pram and DC onto the road into oncoming traffic just cos you shout out 'cuse me' 2 seconds before hooning through.
And breathe.

Echt I was taught to say Feb-u-ry, I realise it has an R but not many pronounce it

When DH 'sorts' the washing but just puts EVERYTHING in the ironing pile. Dusters, individual socks (doesn't pair them) pants, tights - irritates the hell out of me.

Also over polite drivers. If it's your right of way, please just drive your car, trying to let me out for no reason, just confuses everyone and makes me swear about you as I drive away.

The milkman. I have a milkman from DC's younger milk guzzling days, who's so nice I can't get rid - but every Thursday when that doorbell goes at 5.30.....my face looks like this . But I scrabble around for the fucking three quid and answer the door like this .

DH 'mouth breathing' esp when he eats/drinks. This is a fairly recent occurance and it drives me fecking mad!! Get your sinuses sorted out man as they have never been right.

People who say fair play... It's always so out of context and means nothing!

Also people at my work who tell whole stories with "and then she turns around and" "so I turned around and..." Fuck off.

Also the insistence for my BIL to say Bon appetitto before eating anything!!! Gives me unbelievable stabby range. It has now rubbed off on MIL (I had no idea it infuriated my DH even more than me) I thought he was going to lynch her!

fibrecruncher - our DHs could go together in a sneeze off. I think nuclear war has started when my DH starts atchooing. I live in fear of him having a bad cold.
