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.

Listening to people eat. It makes me feel quite violent Blush Shock Apparently, it's an actual thing.

People on Facebook who use 'feeling blessed' when posting something.

People who don't spell correctly and add Z's the the end of words - gawjus, luv, babez, etc.

Saying, "I'm fine" when it's evident you are not fine. Spit out the problem so it can get resolved and we can all move on.

DerelictMyBalls on the Facbook names thing - it's generally people who don't want to be easily found e.g. healthcare workers & teachers who do that. Or so it seems in my gorup of friends on Facebook anyway. Or they'll add an extra letter their name in some cases, e.g. Sarahh.

DerelictMyBalls · 22/07/2016 16:58

Ilovetorrentialrain (I do too Smile ) - yes, I have teacher/nurse friends who put a pretend surname or pretend that their middle name is their last name (e.g, Sally Louise Cuthbert is on FB as 'Sally Louise') but I don't get people with normal office jobs being 'Sally Louise Cuthbert' on Facebook when they never use their middle name except on official documents!

straightouttacompton · 22/07/2016 17:38

Pretty much everything about FB which is why I'm not on there any more but I am especially annoyed by:

Employment/job - full time Mummy.

That's not a job. You are a parent.

The woman with the soppy vouce who does the commentary on Masterchef.

Janey50 · 22/07/2016 17:49

Vouce? Voice!

SecondMrsAshwell · 22/07/2016 17:49

Other people dropping bags. You know when you have a load in your hand and just let go of one for no obvious reason? It drives me to the edge of insane in a chauffeur driven Rolls Royce, with iced Champagne and smoked salmon sandwiches in the back.

You are total fuckwit, can you not even accomplish a simple fucking task like hanging on to all your bags at the same time? The ape creatures of the Indus have mastered this, you shit headed dick.

I have no idea why it annoys me so much. It’s none of my business when someone drops a bag. If possible, I’ll pick it up and hand it to them with a smile…… and they haven’t a clue that I am boiling inside like a volcano about to go off and take a whole island with me.

Of course, if I do it, it’s perfectly reasonable and I just have my hands full.

Hadenoughoftumble · 22/07/2016 18:50

People eating in the supermarket!! It's not paid for yet!! It's so disgusting! I once witnessed a man of about 50-60 eating a nectarine (very loudly) round Tesco and then dumping the stone on a shelf. On a separate occasion I watched a couple eating pistachios in a supermarket and dropping the shells in a trail behind them Angry

Just why?!

TroysMammy · 22/07/2016 20:25

The Daily Mail always using a picture of Brighton beach in an article on hot weather. It's not a bloody beach it's a gravel pit. There are plenty of beautiful, sandy beaches in the UK. I duppose I'm spoilt for choice in Swansea but they are proper beaches and they are not jam packed either.

TroysMammy · 22/07/2016 20:26

Oops fat fingers - suppose

Coat hangers Angry
DH putting on the big light rather than the little lights in the living room. Every night. Angry
Madonna gets on my wick too.

Prive120 · 22/07/2016 20:41

People stopping in the middle of the pavement.
Drivers who get too close in an attempt to push you over to the other lane even though you obviously can't move.
Middle lane drivers.
Tourists with wheelie suitcases.
Men squashing me on trains/planes... Or anyone taking up more than their own seat.

I realise a lot of this revolves around commuting and even though I moved out of London a year ago and it still makes my blood boil.

Oh, and Tom Cruise. No explanation, just can't even look at him.

MerchantofVenice · 22/07/2016 22:04

People who call the evening meal 'supper'. Fuck. Off.

People who go on and on about how much they love Waitrose because they think it makes them sound posh. No, it just makes you sound like a sucker who likes to spend more than they need to as long as the staff are weirdly sycophantic.

People who put 'much' after an adjective and act as if it's a question - eg.'bitter much?'

MaQueen · 22/07/2016 22:51

DH insists on eating cereal/yoghurts with a feckin teaspoon. He's an ex rugby prop with big arms and hands, and he just looks ridiculous.

rainchancer · 22/07/2016 23:52

The audience in Loose Women doing their gormless whooping at just about everything. I can anticipate when they're going to do it and have to mute the TV.

littleprincesssara · 23/07/2016 00:38

Used teabags anywhere other than the bin.

Men having a special place to collect an entire day's (or week's) worth of used teabags, to create a little moist teabag sculpture as perhaps a present for you?

EdmundSlackbladder · 23/07/2016 00:41

Paloma Faiths voice. God almighty it makes my teeth itch.
The fact that I can never get all the FUCKING CRUMBS up from around the toaster. It's like it's made of crumbs and every time you touch it more come off.
Iceland Christmas adverts.
People eating soup. Can't bear it. Makes me stabby.

Roussette · 23/07/2016 09:16

MaQueen being a bit dim here, what should your DH eat a yogurt with if nt a teaspoon?! Cereal yes maybe a bigger teaspoon but yogurt?! I'm curious here!

Loose Women full stop. Every single one of them on there is hugely irritating but I have my favourite most irritating ones. (which is just about all)

Cocolepew · 23/07/2016 09:26

Typing on a keyboard, the noise of someone doing this makes me murderous.
People who take bites of a crisp. Wtf? Just smash them in the bag so they are the right size to put straight into your mouth.

Cocolepew · 23/07/2016 09:27

Oh yeah, and Beyonce and Adele.
Adele is the new Dido.

AppleSetsSail · 23/07/2016 09:55

Typing on a keyboard, the noise of someone doing this makes me murderous.

My son has just spent quite a lot of his pocket money on a keyboard that makes clicky-clicks, kind of like Mathew Broderick in War Games.

MotherFuckingChainsaw · 23/07/2016 10:02

coco glad it's not just me

I work in an office and cannot stand the sound of typing, even my own.
