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.

Saliva running down my toothbrush and onto my hand when brushing my teeth.

People who raise their voices at the end of a sentence? Like they're asking a question? Even though they're not?

Yes to would of/should of.

People who sit next to me on trains when the carriage is empty.

People who claim boys/girls are the easier sex based on their experiences with their children. No YOUR son is more difficult than YOUR daughter - you cannot judge an entire sex based on one/a handful of kids!

Humid weather. If anyone meets a furious woman pushing a pram, towing a spaniel away from horse shit and / or dead things and swearing furiously about hot sticky weather, it's me! Just leave me to it, it's best.

Hay fever.

Sunburn and sun cream.

Just most aspects of summer, really.

Definitely mouth noises. Is it ok to starve DH and kids so I don't have to see/hear it?

MummyBex1985 · 19/07/2016 22:49

That bloody Asda layered loaf advert.

For fucks sake, who wants soggy bread layered with shitty leftovers!?

applesvpears · 19/07/2016 22:51

People who put a kiss at the end of a Facebook status.

"Just had a great girly shopping day! xx".

Piss off.

I hate this too. So much.

powershowerforanhour · 19/07/2016 23:00

The expression "Grab a coffee".
Makes it sound like you are going to rudely snatch it out of the server's hand and then neck it on the spot cos you're soooo busy and important that you don't have time to just drink it like a normal person.

ABloodyDifficultWoman · 19/07/2016 23:04

While we are on coffee and before I take myself and my rage to bed - it's NOT a bloody lar-tay you fucknugget. Lat-Tay. Short Y. No such thing as a larrrrtay.

Rain. I know we need it but it gives me the rage
People who put ' Sarah is feeling emotional' on facebook without adding anything else so that everyone asks "what's up Hun?'

hookiewookie29 · 19/07/2016 23:16

and what do you do with the bread you've scraped out of the loaf mummybex ?

ShakyMilk · 19/07/2016 23:17

"I'm not being funny, but..."

Brioche buns with everything.

Sniffing.

People who call their children "mate"

People who do scratch cards in the street.

Misplaced apostrophes. Your/you're. Their/there.

Angry

My fridge beeps when the door is open for a milli second even when I'm standing there looking for something in the fridge!

It should know I'm there!

At the supermarket: people who open the glass doors of freezers and the look at every shelf slowly choosing which type of oven chips to take. THERE IS A GLASS DOOR SO THAT YOU DON'T NEED TO OPEN IT AND DEFROST ALL THE STUFF!!!

DeadGood · 19/07/2016 23:35

bristol you have reminded me of one. Although it's perfectly reasonable to get annoyed at it -

People who stand really close to the luggage carousel, instead of everyone standing two feet or so back, making it impossible to see anything until your bag is going right past you. At which point you have to leap into action, only there is no room to heave your suitcase off the carousel, because everyone is crowded around.

Everyone stand back FFS!
