Every morning DH asks me to check over his face for random missed shaving bits and blemishes. Then when I tell him he's fine, he says 'Are you sure?'. Angry Just look in the fucking mirror you dick.

I speak to my mum everyday on the phone. She always asks me what we're having for tea. I tell her then she tells me whether she likes that particular meal or not (usually not). I'm not inviting her round so why do I care if she likes my tea or not? Angry

I'm an unreasonable person.

My DP is home most of the day at the moment, is in between work contracts. I'm out at work all day.

Every evening when I get home -

Me : so what's for dinner?
DP : don't know, what do we have in?

Once, just once, please.......

People who think it is okay to stir my black tea with a milky or sugary spoon. I want it black ffs!!!

People who think sit ups will get rid of a fat stomach

He's telling you he's not responsible for the dinner poochie

mrsjayy dirty food? Like "oh I had a big dirty kebab/burger/breakfast roll"? I agree that is horrible. I thought it was just an Irish thing though.

imwithspud · 19/07/2016 19:44

I used to know someone who always had a 'viral infection' Hmm Grin

Essentially being told that I'm not allowed to complain about the weather and that I should be 'enjoying it' is getting right on my tits at the moment.

The trousers or the people?

Janey50 · 19/07/2016 19:48

People being served in shops,such as coffee shops or food takeaways that say 'Can I get....' instead of 'Can I have...' I feel like saying to them 'No you cannot GET 2 sausage rolls,but you can HAVE 2 sausage rolls! The man behind the counter will GET them for you!'

TheHuntingOfTheSarky · 19/07/2016 19:48

The underwear or the people??

My sil ridiculous over the top attention seeking performance parenting if my niece at my wedding. I just look at my wedding photos of her and annoys the shit out of me

James O'brien shouting over people phoning in or cutting them odd with his stupid smug put downs. I really should stop listening to him every morning

Kalispera I saw a historical documentary the other day with helen mirran, that cockey comedian with the wavy black hair and some other random celeb commenting on Henry viiis need for a male heir!

That happy song, I loathe it.

And an advert on the radio where a really annoying voice goes "so I can be home for baaath time" I switch I over the minute or starts up. Think it's for tfl. Then I spend the next 10 minutes winding myself up by mimicking the annoying voice

Ilovetorrentialrain · 19/07/2016 20:04

I'm chiming in with another vote for 'can I get?' - absolutely can't stand it. Come to think of it most Americanisms (when spoken by a non-American of course) - 'drugstore' and 'movie' are really starting to creep in. Beauty bloggers use 'drugstore' to appeal to an overseas audience too - there's no reason to adopt it just because they do. AARRGGHH.

Ilovetorrentialrain · 19/07/2016 20:05

Lauging at the PP describing people who walk at exactly the same pace so you can't get away (without breaking into a comedy march) :)

helenatroy · 19/07/2016 20:07

LOL is stupid and pointless. Quite often the most miserable people who don't crack a smile let alone laugh loud or not write it.

turquoise88 · 19/07/2016 20:07

When people say "I forgot to eat." As in, "I was busy today and forgot to eat lunch." What even is that? How do you forget to eat? Food is my life.

Having to repeat myself to someone who appears to be listening
Hot weather
Rain
Shoulder shrugging
Sniffing
People
Hun
Babe
Walking on dusty soil with sandals on & no socks
Drying my hair & straightening makes me really ratty
When you let another driver past/through & they fail to wave/nod to say thanks

amandaxalice · 19/07/2016 20:16

People make noises when they yawn, people who have no common sense, busy shops with people standing in the middle of the isle, people randomly standing in the middle of the street, people obnoxiously talking loudly.

So pretty much people in general!

ABloodyDifficultWoman · 19/07/2016 20:20

Bonnie Langford. Squeaky superannuated lisping show-off. And a face like a gerbil trapped in a lift door

Another superb and spot on observation about a pointless sleb! This thread just keeps on giving Grin

Namechangingme · 19/07/2016 20:21

Day off today and as I didn't feel like moving I ended up watching Dickinson's Real Deal.

Hate the grabby people on there trying to squeeze extra money out of the dealers.

And David Dickinson doesn't say "auction" he says "ockshone" it all put me in a right rage!!

GeekyWombat · 19/07/2016 20:29

When you go to a restaurant and they give you crispy food but put it in wet food (eg hash brown or fried bread touching beans so they lose their crispness). I know it makes me sound like a lunatic but I love crunchiness and get irrationally irate when faced with soggy food.

And there's an advert on daytime TV at the moment that makes me furious. It's for one of these diet meal plan things and involves a dark haired woman having a conversation with herself.
"I wish I looked as good as you. I've never been bigger. I feel so unattractive."
"But you can. Just sign up and you'll be looking great in no time. You are me from a month ago..."
I wouldn't mind but the acting is GCSE drama / am dram special and the amazing difference between the two women is shown by one of them wearing a baggy tshirt and slouching to push her boobs out. Ugh.

imwithspud · 19/07/2016 20:32

RE: Dickenson's real deal, I hate the dealers trying to swindle the people out of cash so they can make a profit. Someone had a print on there the other day, can't remember exact figured but it was along the lines of dealer offering £1k, tried to convince person they wouldn't get much more than that at auction (likely knowing full well that wasn't the case), person took it to auction and ended up taking home over £3k.

Also hate when DP is standing in my way, gives me irrational rage. I know the logical thing to do is to ask him politely to move. But he always seems to be standing in the middle of the pathway to the kitchen or what ever, and I just can't help but think "well what a stupid place to stand in the first place ffs".
