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.

Clicky food noises.
People who appear to have too much saliva talking on the radio, so you can hear it.
Stephen Fry.
Middle class panel game wankers.

"When booking patients in to see the Doctor in the morning by phone,
"Can I see Doctor X?"
Me, "Certainly, 9.30"
"Does he have anything earlier?"
I wish I could say "If I had anything earlier I wouldn't have said 9.30" instead I say "sorry (why am I sorry) that's the earliest". "

Why is that annoying? Are your patients supposed to be mind readers? Perhaps its not the right job for you if you even find that perfectly reasonable question annoying.

I think you may have missed the point of the thread...

Literally every other clause was 'so I'm gonna turn arand and say...and then you turn arand and do this so I'm gonna turn arand and do that. If we turn arand to turn arand to' AGHHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGGHGHGH

I think I would not be able to restrain myself from bursting into, "Turn around, bright eyes!"

Caroline Flack!!!! How could I possibly have forgotten that shouty, bow legged knobhead?!

Fucking hell Boiledfart - stop already! I've just lowered property prices in my road by bellowing like a rutting water buffalo!

The way that TV documentary narrators waste time repeating what's happened so far at the start of each segment, as though either no-one actually watches programmes from the beginning any more or we're all so thick that we can't remember what happened 3 minutes ago just because there was a break for adverts. It's just lazy lazy broadcasting and does my head in.

spud thank you.
bibbity if I thought they were mind readers I would just say yes and let them guess their appointment time.

When a stranger on the street walks at exactly the same speed as me so I can't get away from them. I can't sustain walking artificially slow or fast for any length of time, so it'd still be my fault even if it was a reasonable thing to get annoyed about!

People at work who come over to talk to me about things that could be dealt with via email. I know others prefer face-to-face and their preference is just as valid as mine.

Competency based interview questions. I'm not convinced this is unreasonable because I don't think they really tell you anything about a candidate's suitability for the job, but there's no doubt they're acceptable to most employers.

That fucking infuriating soundbite "eat less, move more" always delivered smugly to overweight people, especially on MN.

Masterchef contestants, taking that shit way too seriously, behaving as though they're doing live brain surgery. It's only Fucking food.

Fucking foodie's

Avocados

Having to share lifts with people

Leggings/ skinny jeans etc, I look shit in them but wish I could wear them.

People calling wine 'vino'

Hot dog legs holiday beach photos

Wow, so many responses!

LoreleiGilmore You have ruined ice cream for me forever now, thanks.

Lulu. I have an intense hatred which I know is completely irrational.

Giraffes. Ridiculous animals. And they look smug and they've got no fucking reason to be.

I'm sorry, I'm sure all Mumsnetters eat their cones with the utter decorum. It's just me and my disgustingly filthy mind. Lick away....

with utter decorum

When it's assumed that the viewing public will only want to learn about something if it's presented via the lens of 'celebrity'.

For example: The Great Wall of China with Sue Perkins.

What the actual fuck Sue has to do with it I shall never know.

People that when you kind of bump into each other & then say "shall we dance". I automatically think what a cock

No mylovegoesdown I'm with you on Lulu. I think it's because she's had a 50 year career on the basis of one song that she still won't stop belting out, seemingly whether invited to do so or not....

No-one actively likes Lulu, do they? Apart from her mum, presumably.

The sound of people eating crisps!

I hate it when my Dh cant be arsed and looks to blame it on me but makes it look like he is "doing it for me"

Or he will say ' Jim wants me to go meet him at the pub but it would be so unfair to you' secretly hoping I will give him"permission" to go! Fuck it if he can't be big enough to state it without trying his shitty reverse psychology on me, I will agree with him and then happily watch him sulk!!

With you on Lulu- and that bloody song- and that disappearing Scottish accent.

Feeling a bit sorry for Giraffes now though!

People who walk slowly round supermarkets and block the shelves of popular things like milk or chicken.

Emails that say 'Gentle Reminder' can naff off as well.

Pippa middleton.....i mean who cares.

Oh while i'm here Twiggy can bugger off with Lulu as well!

People who use 'craving' when they fancy a bit of cheese or something.

reader77 Yes, and yes to the earlier poster who said people who claim they're "starving" when they're hungry. My mum is never in pain, always "in agony". Urgh.

...just to clarify, my mum doesn't have any kind of condition where she really would be in agony often! I mean if she has a bruise or something, it will be "agony."
