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.

My mother calling me 'naughty' when I spend some money on something she deems non essential. I am 43. I can spend my money on whatever I like. Fuck off.

Waiting in a telephone queue for a service and getting the automated message please stay on the line, your call is important to us.

NO, it isn't! If it WAS important to you, you'd employ some ----ing staff to answer the telephone!!!!! But you won't, because it would eat into your profits. So I'll just sit here for up to an hour.....I've got nothing better to do with my money or my time.

I agree toad. I wonder if the operator picked up the phone and had to wait the same amount of time the caller did, how long they would wait.

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

Horrible. I think it's possibly an Americanism. I wish it would stop.

My DP sneezing. It's like a miniature explosion and always makes me jump out of my skin. To be fair,he hardly ever gets any warning that he is going to sneeze,but it still pisses me off.

Crowds of people, how dare they visit the same tourist destination as me on the same day.

poppym12 · 25/07/2016 18:05

Automated phone calls about ppi/accident /new boiler. Just fuck off. How I wish that just sometimes it was a person. However, the current spate of john/mike/whatever false name they have been told to use ringing about my Microsoft computers.......ffs. does anyone ever fall for this shit?

I'm thinking that maybe I should just unplug the landline Hmm

Those little calculator-looking passcode generators as security for online banking. Just one extra thing to have to remember. My head is now full. It would be quicker to walk to the bank and check the balance. This doesn't feel like progress.

'I was rushed to a&e'

No you were taken to a&e.

As opposed to everyone else where the paramedics took the scenic route, stopped for a picnic and told their patient 'we will swing by a&e once we've finished this game of gin rhummy'.

My husband mutters. I ask him to repeat what he says as i cant hear it. Then he sighs. BLOODY SPEAK PROPERLY THE FIRST TIME THEN!!!!!!

People who write 'alot' or 'abit' gve me the rage. They are three letter words. how are you spelling a three letter word wrong?!?!!

As i am typing my husband has muttered something. I want to punch him in the face. SPEAK CLEARLY!!!!

CalleighDoodle · 25/07/2016 21:29

Could / would / should of. Of?! Wtf?!

imwithspud · 25/07/2016 21:41

Someone I know refers to her children as 'the kids' all the time i.e Last night the kids were messing about at bed time. I don't know why it annoys me when they say it as it's a perfectly normal turn of phrase and it doesn't grate on me when anyone else uses it but with this specific person it gives me the rage and I can't explain why Angry

I hate it when I go to a coffee shop and a hot drink is served in one of those stupid tall glass things with a handle. The only acceptable options are a mug or a teacup, NOT A CHUFFING GLASS!

BettyDraper1 · 26/07/2016 12:29

I was thinking something similar last night imwithspud but it was about the way that footballers say 'club' (like 'clooB'). If you watch post-match interviews, they say the word repeatedly and have a particular intonation that they seem to have picked up from each other

I was trying to work out exactly what it is about the way they say it that riles me, but I can't come up with a satisfactory answer.

Lukewarm coffee in a coffee shop.

DerelictMyBalls · 26/07/2016 14:16

When you haven't heard what someone has said - or you only hear the last three words - and ask them to repeat themselves... and they ONLY REPEAT THE LAST FEW WORDS!

Eg:

DH: next Tuesday?
ME: Sorry?
DH: next Tuesday

pommychic · 26/07/2016 17:35

Strictly Come Dancing...when the audience are all simultaneously clapping in time to the music at each and every song...they look like demented seals and it sounds so irritating!
Whilst on the subject of strictly...Claudia Winklemans fringe.

SunsetBeetch · 26/07/2016 18:52

Derelict I had a colleague who did that, despite me telling him several times it was no flipping help! And saying 'What about (those last two words) every time. Arrgh!

Haitch instead of aitch grates on me massively, unless the speaker is Irish.

Also - people crossing the road at the same time as me, who start walking in the direction they are wanting to head off in, before they've got onto the pavement, therefore walking across in front of me, if you see what I mean? Let me get off the bloody road!
