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.

Infomercials (not sure if there's a British name for them), those 20 minute long ads for things to make us live longer or look better. I am not sure what annoys me the most about them really, I just get really annoyed at the cheery, fake wonder at this amaaazing product. And then they offer all these bonus gifts, to try and distract you from the extortionate price of the main item. And what the hell is the difference between 'FREE' and 'ABSOLUUUTELY FREE'?

Being tailgated when walking. I stop and let them by then tailgate them.

MummyMuppet2x2 · 26/03/2017 18:58

Anyone who does me an unecessary favour, or 'helps' unecessarily. I find it 1,000% enraging. e.g. - WHY are they holding the door open for me when I was ALREADY holding it open for THEM to pass by? I feel bad as I can see they are trying to be nice - but I was being nice first AngryAngryAngry
It annoys me even more to have to thank them when they've just irritated me.
Totally unreasonable, but I don't care Angry
