What perfectly acceptable things that make you unreasonably angry?

[BrotherBeer]

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?'. 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?

I'm an unreasonable person.

There's a fake 'blue plaque' by the river near my house which says something like, "James Simmonds and his friends floated lolly sticks down this river in July 2010".

I have several problems with this:

1. Who cares?
2. Putting lolly sticks in the river is littering.
3. Who the fuck do you think you are, getting a blue plaque?

'eating irons'

A PP mentioned turning lights off at the wall. THIS when by DF comes to visit. Just use the fucking switch!!! Then I don't have to stare at the light for ages wondering why the light isn't working.

That said I don't think that is perfectly acceptable so it doesn't qualify for this thread along with traffic, myleene klass and poo as mentioned upthread.

People who post on facebook:
'
'A large glass of red,..Don't mind if I do!' or 'Be rude not to..'
Who cares if you don't mind... and if you did, you wouldn't be bloody well having one! and No it wouldn't be rude not to!

titting roof tile

Cyclists on the joint cycle/ pedestrian path ringing their bells just as they pass and waking up DS in the pram

Trying to get babies to sleep.

Have spent, I mean wasted, 5hr unsuccessfully getting twins to nap or go to bed over last two days

Oh and loads of these other things - this has really cheered me up, in a weird way. One still isn't asleep though.

Either my OH is on a one man mission to piss off Mumsnet in its entirety or his mannerisms are far more widespread than I imagined.

I have agreed with every one of the annoyances so far.

Yes I've got PMS.

High heels. They bloody hurt & I'll be damned if I can walk more than three feet in them. Pretty sure they were designed by men as a form of torture for women, or as a method to prevent us from running away from unwanted advances. Bastard things. Also hate women who claim they can run in them. For me, it's two steps followed by a side-wobble every time.

For starters, as i'm sure i'll think of more;

Any kind of eating noises/cutlery scraping against teeth looking at you about the cutlery one DH

People who yawn without covering their mouth.

Kerry Katona (or whatever her bloody name is)

People who talk over me/completely ignore the fact i'm talking Have some fucking manners!

When I put lip gloss on and the wind promptly blows my hair so it sticks to my lips I should learn not to put it on on a windy day

I had an appointment earlier on and turned up 2 minutes late (no parking spaces), and the woman had packed away her things and was walking out. Two minutes.....really?

People who moan about the bad weather and that we never get any good, and then complain when it's nice saying, 'it's too hot'.

Oh and as an add on, random people who decide that there little 'chat' with the 'cuties' is very important, even though I have made it quite clear I have spent the last hour rocking the pushchair to get twin 2 to sleep.

slightly the company isn't allowed to say that the shampoo reduces hair loss as it hasn't been proven in the UK I believe. I think it has the claim on the bottle

People who moan about the bad weather and that we never get any good, and then complain when it's nice saying, 'it's too hot'.

YY to this!

My fucking phone autocorrecting "so" to "do" and "or" to "if". SO and OR are REAL WORDS!

People who use the singular for a pair of something e.g. "I'd wear that with a nude heel". What? Just one of them? Won't you look like a complete wankmuffin limping along like Shirley Bassey on Morecambe and Wise?

And I was going to agree with those who have said eating noises, but there is nothing unreasonable about hating those.

Kirsty Young's voice skeeves me out a bit too! All leathery-sounding.

I have so many. One of them is that my partner always, no matter where we are staying, puts the shower on as hard as it will go, as hot as it will go, and the shower head as high as it will go.

I am not quite sure why this bothers me - partly because I always have to adjust it for me, and partly because using all that hot water is bad for the environment; but mainly because it's like he doesn't actually have a preference for temperature - just "as hot as possible".

Ok, still doesn't make sense why it bugs me!

People who write "so here we have for sale..." on sales ads.

Just had a text from ex asking what DS and I had planned for this afternoon's heatwave. I replied I was currently looking at an MN thread called 'What perfectly acceptable things make you unreasonably angry?', then we would be going to the beach. His reply: 'If that's the thread you're on, I doubt you'll make it to the beach'. I'd add my ex to the list, but my feelings toward him usually fall into the 'reasonably angry' category.

and then complain when it's nice saying, 'it's too hot'

'Nice' is subjective, though. Some people prefer cooler weather.

I am irrationally angry at LoreleiGilmoreismyBFF fannying around on MN when she has a beach nearby!

Loud sneezing.
Loud coughing.

Goalkeepers who wear short sleeves instead of long sleeves.
I am also angry with myself for being angry about something so stupid.

Yeah Lorelei, just go to the beach!

I agree with almost all of these so am clearly too angry to live.

I do have another to add, though. Spotted in a supermarket this morning: a whole range of packet stew/casserole shite called 'LOOK WHAT WE FOUND!'

Seriously? Like you just....dug it up out of a bin? Or from the bottom of a reeking skip?

No, thanks. Wankers.

Anyone who prefaces a reply with "Look..."
Many politicians do so. Grrrr

Caroline Flack. About as much use as tits on a fish.
