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.

People taking massive hand luggage trolleys onto flights even if they are within correct dimensions and carrying handbags/briefcases too thereby leaving no space in the overhead lockers for anyone else.

Selfish gits.

Kids! On summer holidays. First day off and endless complaints of "I'm bored!"
Kids again. Walking into the kitchen with dirty plates and dumping them.on the closest surface instead of beside the sink where I wash up!
Maybe just kids in general! Just because it's summer holidays!!!

Spelling, punctuation and grammar.

Text speak - I mean we are in the age of autocorrect now people! Surely it takes longer to type in all your "plz" and "hp ur ok" and "wt u up 2" (that took me ages) than it does just to write plain English!!

Also lose/loose and should of!

Attention seeking individuals that tell you half a story on Facebook hoping you'll ask for the rest.
Stories of woe from friends on Facebook we all have shitty times you know!!

peachcake · 20/07/2016 17:46

We don't care! 😄

the word legend used to describe "famous" people over a certain age. Drives me mad, do people not know what this word means?

Hot weather. If one more person comes up to me and says 'Innit lovely?' I shall not be responsible for my actions. I haven't slept properly, the moment I get out of the shower i feel like I need another, my hair is limp and flat, my dog is fed up, my house is like an oven......

Idliketobeabutterfly · 20/07/2016 18:04

The hot weather and hubby's cough.

Digestive28 · 20/07/2016 18:07

People who can't use scales properly. "What do you think out of ten?" "11!" WTF?! Ten is the most you can have, the scale is one to ten. Ten is the most, that's it! Just learn to count, arghhh!

More mispronunciation: tyoo-meric for turmeric.

dictionary.cambridge.org/pronunciation/english/turmeric

In the scheme of things (oh, is that another stupid phrase?) it probably doesn't matter, but I have to go into another room alone and have a sit down
if someone says it in my hearing.

goingtotown · 20/07/2016 18:09

peachcake yes bloody bonfires. Take your rubbish to the tip.

The80sweregreat · 20/07/2016 18:12

Can I get, instead of May I have.! ( and no please or thank you..Grrr)
Agree about new years eve parties, hate them.
Hot weather! No one to blame ( maybe global warming.., but i cant shout at that)
My hair..

Broody1976 · 20/07/2016 18:13

Draw.... It's a fucking drawer!

LaurieF · 20/07/2016 18:14

Digestive28 or those people who always give 110%... There is no more than 100% you can give! That's the whole point of the word "PERCENT" 😣

I hate these threads. Someone always comes along and says 'I hate disabled people getting in my way with their pesky wheelchairs on shops' or similar Angry

YeOldMa · 20/07/2016 18:27

People who say or write "Could of," instead of "Could have."

Adding a 'k' to something, nothing, etc when talking. My SIL does it and now my DGD is copying.

The rigid "pathways" to get treatment in the NHS.

hallgreenmiss · 20/07/2016 18:29

LetsGetReadyToGrumble, people who don't read through their comments before hitting the post button, then blame autocorrect. I also get irritated by people who muddle the words 'diffuse' and 'defuse'.

Ashers40 · 20/07/2016 18:51

People who say "do you know what mean" at the end of every other sentence when it's completely unnecessary.

YeOldMa · 20/07/2016 18:53

I get angry with myself because I can never remember whether I should use 'affected' or 'effected'!

BetteNoir1 · 20/07/2016 18:56

"So…" is SO irritating, I agree. Whatever happened to "Well…" ? In fact the word well has disappeared except when used as "He's well fit". Even when asked how are things with you, the reply is never "Well, thank you". It's "I'm good" or worse stil "Yeah, yeah".

Andie McDowell
Is it raining I hadn't noticed
Yes it's fucking pouring fool

Hopelass · 20/07/2016 19:01

Screaming kids outside. I have a whole thread about it. Apparently it's acceptable but it does make me irrationally angry.
Also DH loading the dishwasher 'wrong' so I have to redo it to fit more stuff in.

aerynsun · 20/07/2016 19:06

"Legos" it's fucking "Lego" there's no "s" on the end. When referring to more than one piece of Lego just "Lego" will suffice
