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.

I just hate 'folk'. It's a bit oldy-worldy.

When people can't use cling film properly and it fucks the roll up.... So you waste more to sort it out! Angry

Spermysextowel · 20/07/2016 22:57

Just as pp's dislike of Claires fits with the post, I am always wary of anyone called Kat.

The reason why bin men have a tendency to come early morning is that they get paid for doing the collections of the day, rather than per hour. So the faster they can do the collections, the longer they have off afterwards!

BreconBeBuggered · 20/07/2016 23:01

Oh, the Claires is bang on. Sorry, Claire, if you're reading. I'm sure you're lovely, but the ones I meet in real life are deeply unpleasant.

Ilovetorrentialrain · 20/07/2016 23:02

Couldn't agree more with 'page left intentionally blank'. I saw this in a booklet yesterday and it riled me. I felt something physical!

MrsJayy · 20/07/2016 23:03

I have a thing for Angela never met an Angela i got on with ever

Twilightpirate · 20/07/2016 23:05

Hiccups.

People stating the bleeding obvious / asking a question to which the answer is bleeding obvious.

People telling the same story over and over again.

Didyoumeantobesorude1 · 20/07/2016 23:06

nonono the Claire I know is the sweetest person in the world.

notamummy10 · 20/07/2016 23:08

MrsJayy my brother is also one of those people, it drives me insane! He also uses scissors to cut a piece off, which makes the next piece all jagged- he refuses to use the silver triangles that are there for that purpose!

MrsJayy · 20/07/2016 23:11

I just cant work clingfilm it is evil

poppym12 · 20/07/2016 23:11

The phrases 'touching base' and 'reaching out' Angry just piss off with your poncey corporate speak shite.

Cling film. This is evil.

ABloodyDifficultWoman · 20/07/2016 23:13

Someone a while back added 'Geese. Twice. I'm intrigued Grin - what is it about geese that could give anyone the rage?

Clairalou empty coffee cups , I'm with u on that but even worse is empty bleeding suitcases, why do they do that ? Why can't they put some stuff in so they've got some weight & look convincing instead of props looking like been done by a 5 yr old

thisismeusernameything · 20/07/2016 23:17

DH watching videos on his phone at full volume while I'm trying to work

DH flicking through facebook on his phone when he's specifically requested that we watch a crap action film

DH looking at his bloody phone in general actually gives me an irrational rage.

LonestarStateOfMind · 20/07/2016 23:18

Phrases along the lines of 'calling someone out' or 'I called them on it'.

I think I know what it means but how? Why?

LikeDylanInTheMovies · 20/07/2016 23:18

Yes cats* what an idea! I'm something of a darts fan, so I approve wholeheartedly.

People who lick their fingers after eating a bag of crisps. Congratulations, you now have a cocktail of salvia and grease on your fingers. People who hold a sandwich up to their mouths and nibble at it rather than picking it up, taking a proper bite and putting it down.

Sian Welby who does the Health Lottery.
Her voice, her face... Mainly her voice!
God that woman really gets on my tits!
Whistling .... I hate it.... Makes me want to punch people!

When you yawn and someone puts their finger in your mouth!!!!!! Arrrgggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

WhatsGoingOnEh · 20/07/2016 23:32

People who say, "Come," instead of "Come along," "come here," etc. Just, "Come." Blech.

Similarly, people who say, "You like?" I DID UP TILL THEN YOU SMUG TWATTY TWATTER.

mynamesnotMa · 20/07/2016 23:36

Children singing. My Dad, a very calm person used to tutt furiously when Lena Zavoroni stated singing.
Cooking for children.

There's a theme.

Ilovetorrentialrain · 20/07/2016 23:40

LoneStar I think the serious answer to that is Amercianisms creeping in rapidly because of the Internet... The world has got (not gotten as some would say) smaller!

Member251061 · 20/07/2016 23:43

Shop assistants who tend to say "would you like a receipt/bag with that at all?"
Why on earth do they put "at all" into that sentence?
