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.

The stupid straws you get with milkshakes that have the ridiculous spoon thing at the end. It stops me getting to the last of my drink. Dh thinks it's hysterical as I turn my straw upside down.
People ds who ignore the saucepans when filling the dishwasher.

DerelictMyBalls · 23/07/2016 20:17

People who wear big, clunky bangles to work, and let them clank against the desk as they type. Angry

Per una ' fun ' buttons .
The word fun and button together makes me feel ill with rage .
Also per una clothes - it can be a challenge enough to be menopausal without clothes that are ' quirky ' and make me feel like losing the will to live .

LockedOutOfMN · 23/07/2016 21:42

Apple I think the pp and others including me would prefer to receive an invitation.

On a similar note, I loathe the word, "quote" used as a noun.

Ilovetorrentialrain · 23/07/2016 22:13

Fake pockets.

MrsJayy · 23/07/2016 22:17

Urgh fake pockets I my comfiest trousers have fake pockets drives me nuts i keep trying to stick my phone in them what is fake pockets all about

PeppaPigTastesLikeBacon · 23/07/2016 22:28

--Hoods on coats - they are always too big.
--Guys who can't drive and have a pregnant DP - totally irrational but who do they expect to drive DP to hospital when labour starts? Go and get a license already
--Umbrellas- an extra thing to hold that doesn't keep you dry as the wind breaks them
--Wet socks

MistressDeeCee · 23/07/2016 22:32

People who make every sentence sound like a question. Just shut up you don't sound cool

The music to the Boots adverts
Christmas
Singers who slur their lyrics
My bad
Lorraine Kelly in fashion ads
noisy exhaust cars/motorbikes going past my window
cold rain

acdcfan · 23/07/2016 22:58

Lots of things annoy me, most already covered:

Wee on the toilet seat
People chewing with their mouths open
People unable to say three - comes out free
Poor grammar
People saying "Why are you laughing for?" Grr!
Toast crumbs in the butter
Lego on the fucking floor

Lately the DP has been putting the fan on in the living room (as it's boiling) but it's only purpose so far is to blast his farts in my face the second they leave his arse Angry

I'm sure there's many more I can't think of right now...

imwithspud · 23/07/2016 23:04

People who can't be bothered to park their cars properly so not only are they parked at a wonky angle, they are also as close to the line as they could possibly be whilst still being in the bay. Making it difficult for anyone who parks in the next bay and may need to exit their vehicle on that side.

fastdancer · 23/07/2016 23:55

Those 'captcha' things where you have to type in random letters to prove you are a person. I find them almost impossible to read. Always takes me several goes and much rage.

KindDogsTail · 24/07/2016 00:09

Answering questions asked by an automatic voice on the telephone, especially when it says "Can you repeat that."

The fact that the menu on the automatic recorded telephone answer has not thought of all the things you might want to talk about. Rage.

FAQs as the only available contact, that do not include the thing you want to know about.

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 24/07/2016 02:35

Could of

Should of

Kids who can't play out for 2 minutes without that high pitched screaming

Dh making an explosive noise every time he sneezes - he vocalises it and although I have pointed out so many times that IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO SHOUT WHEN YOU SNEEZE! he still does it, I suspect on purpose to annoy me.

Very fat women who wear skin tight leggings with short tops. I really do not want to be confronted with your massive lardy bum in all its wobbly glory.

Men with huge bellies and no shirts. I do not want to be confronted with your horrible great fat gut.

People who dither in multi storey car parks, taking up the whole aisle and holding everybody else up while waiting for someone also dithering to exit, when any fool can see that there are plenty of spaces on the next level.

People who hold me up in car parks because they take 14 manoeuvres to reverse into a space.

Health and care professionals who insisted on referring to my elderly mother as 'Mum' while she was right there. No, she was not 'Mum' to you - why TF couldn't you say 'your mum' or 'your mother', or even maybe use her name? It wasn't cosy or friendly, it was rude and patronising and she hated it, even if she did have dementia.

iluvshoes · 24/07/2016 08:12

People who sit at roundabouts and then decide to go at the time as you. Grrrr!!!!!.

Work colleagues who slag each other off and then go out on nights out and post cringey pictures on Facebook. Bleughhh !!!

People who let their dog crap on the pavement so people then walk in it. Lazy b*"**!!! Pick it up...

Ex partner who picks my son up every other weekend with that smug look on his face. Just gives me the urge to punch him. Not a violent person but he brings out this side of me .

Facebook and people who use it to provide a blow by blow account of their lives.

ABloodyDifficultWoman · 24/07/2016 08:26

This thread just keeps on giving!

Has anyone mentioned the Kardashians yet? I develop an intense and murderous rage whenever I see the name Kardashian or Jenner. Such totally pointless people Angry

KindDogsTail · 24/07/2016 09:11

I have not managed to keep up with the last few pages so perhaps these have been mentioned:

Simon Cowell

Russel Brand

I get a visceral feeling of fury and revulsion when I even think of them.

AmIthatbloodycold · 24/07/2016 11:23

Getting. I'm not sure any of yours could be considered reasonable so perfectly acceptable to get angry

Onthewingofaswift · 24/07/2016 14:14

Loudly stirring, stirring, stirring lattes with long metal spoons

Me and my husband think. Really? You both are in such synergy you think the same way

At the moment any sentence with immigrants in it

Doinmummy · 24/07/2016 15:17

That stupid Homes Under The Hammer bloke when he says 'We'll catch up with the buyer later in the show '

IT'S NOT A SHOW IT'S A PROGRAMME. A show has singing and dancing and fancy costumes - your PROGRAMME has manky houses.

headinhands · 24/07/2016 15:36

Just remembered two more. When I'm walking and I can hear music. I hate it if I'm walking in time to the music and try very hard to walk out of rhythm even if I end up looking odd. And I HATE the feeling of a hair on my forearm. Why are our forearms so hyper sensitive to touch?

allnewredfairy · 24/07/2016 15:38

Jo Wileys voice, people that can't give you a reasonable synopsis to a recommemded film, indecisive people, that mouse living in a windmill in old Amsterdam song, going to the hairdressers and being asked if I'm 'doing anything interesting?', square plates, plates that are boards or slates... I'm afraid the listis endless

imwithspud · 24/07/2016 16:21

Dp having his music on when he's in the kitchen cleaning or making dinner. Doesn't help that he has it on quite loud and any attempt at me turning it down even a smidge results in protests that it's not loud enoughHmm

Don't know why it annoys me so much, maybe because his idea of a reasonable volume and my idea of a reasonable volume are different.

headinhands · 24/07/2016 16:28

To clarify earlier post it's people over 20 who wear clothes with obvious labels. Really winds me up.

dementedma · 24/07/2016 16:53

Radio 5 Live!!! Just blokes shouting about sodding football

antiqueroadhoe · 24/07/2016 17:02

A woman who ends nearly all of her Facebook updates (about something annoying) with "Such fun!"
Eg
"Baby was just sick all over himself. Such fun!"

I've hidden her now but I know it's going on still. I can sense it.
