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.

Hiccups and violent sneezing (when I'm doing it) give me the rage.

There are too many things that annoy me to list them all. Clickity heel shoes, people who repeat the same phrase twice in response to how they're doing eg "same old same old", my oh laughing to let me know something he said was meant to be funny even when it wasn't, people who greet saying "ahoy hoy, people who think I should love their cats as much as they do.

Unfeasibly slow people at petrol stations

The way my dog can't take a shit without leaving some on his arsehole

The last 10% of battery on any electrical item, especially my phone

Drying my hair with really loud hairdryer, getting excited about the new silent Dyson one and it being THREE HUNDRED FUCKING QUID

Hairdresser chat

How fundamentally disappointing and irritating it is to sunbathe

That you can't see laptops in the sun

Being just unable to reach something

Being too hot in bed but hate sleeping without a cover

How I find this really easy

People who say ' at the end of the day...' as though they are about to impart the definitive pearl of wisdom rendering further argument obsolete. Egotistical dicks.

Carrier bags stuck in trees and fog lights on cars when the fog is above car height.

Applying suncream to toddler DS, ditto brushing his teeth. The rigmarole we go through every time aarrrggghhhh

littlejeopardy · 20/07/2016 00:22

People's reluctance to be first in line when a buffet opens. Everyone dithers, not wanting to push themselves forward. I anyways end up being the first one in and looking like the greedy one.

MaisieDotes · 20/07/2016 00:23

windy have you noticed that she actually juts out her entire lower jaw when she does it. I used to think she was an utter muppet for it. But then I saw an interview where she ripped the piss out of herself for doing it which I fell for grudgingly admired.

Loud sunburnt southerners on holiday - they are usually called Gary.

TheHuntingOfTheSarky · 20/07/2016 08:18

Smug perky women who can go without a bra when the weather is hot. Even if it means your tits will reach your knees when you're older.

Ilovetorrentialrain · 20/07/2016 08:43

Going off topic as the OP clearly says 'acceptable things'. This is unacceptable: people who get to the top of an escalator then stop completely still while they scan the shop left, right, left again, have a discussion about where they want to go. JUST MOVE, there's going to be a ten person pile up!

This has made me laugh (and realise that I am annoying too eg I use a lot of loo roll)

When I am driving, pedestrians and cyclists.

When I am cycling, pedestrians and drivers.

When I am walking, cyclists and drivers.

People who play loud music at night when it's hot and they know everyone has their windows open.

People who use excited for instead of excited about. Or myself instead of me.

People who take small children into the quiet carriage on a train and they could sit anywhere else on the train (no reservations on our line). That said, adults can be just as noisy, if not more so. See above about music.

Oh - and people who cause a queue on planes by putting their luggage in the overhead racks, instead of letting people by, and then getting back out into the aisle and putting their luggage away. And when they say we are boarding rows 10-20 first that does not mean row 5! And if they say, we are boarding rows 10-20 from the back, and you are in row 15, do not get on at the front!

ABloodyDifficultWoman · 20/07/2016 09:57

purple Grin I could be wrong, I suppose, but airports and planes seem to turn even the most regular people into absolute basket cases! It may have something to do with those bossy cabin crew - the minute they bark an order at me I freeze and some terrible thing deep within me makes me do the complete opposite of what they just said!

LoreleiGilmoreIsMyBFF · 20/07/2016 09:57

'Gifted' - as in, 'I was gifted a ten inch vibrator for Christmas'.

'Sourced' - as in, 'I managed to source a twenty inch vibrator'.

Rage.

Just back from holiday and Barefoot sandals annoyed me not sure why they just seem so ridiculous and pointless bits of board held on by stringy bits

DerelictMyBalls · 20/07/2016 10:32

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.

YES!

People who don't enjoy hot weather can understand why some people do like hot weather... but the people who do like hot weather do not understand why people dislike hot weather.

I like cold, rainy weather but when it's pissing down and everyone is whingeing about it (or when the sun-lovers say, 'Where's our Summer gone, eh?' Or something equally as original), I don't tell people to stop complaining and enjoy the nice weather.

On the plus side, it is some consolation to me to know that, in cold, rainy England, I am happy with the weather 99% of the time. The sun-loving lizard types must just exist in a constant state of despair.

Office notices starting with "polite notice " usually something to do with washing up fairies or your mum doesn't work here or throw out your mouldy food sometimes with whimsical drawings of fairies and a smiley face - makes me want to steal the tea bags and never wash up anything bloody ever passive aggressive bollocks

MrsJayy · 20/07/2016 10:51

DerelictMyBalls · 20/07/2016 10:52
