To ask what really fucks you off?

[IDoDaChaCha]

I know I know I was asking for it- going out in the car on a Sunday; 'Sunday drivers'... As I was sat/stuck behind yet another slow, overly cautious (shit - IMO) driver it infuriated me that she left a car sized gap between her and the car in front of her. These selfish twats idly trundle by just as the lights change leaving whoever was stuck behind them (and their massive unnecessary gap...) stuck at the lights. I curse them. What and/or who really gets you mad?

Famous People who live in Berkshire, Surrey or LA but, forever bang on about how great their part of Yorkshire, Liverpool, Scotland is (delete as applicable).

Oh yes Katherina!
Just caught up with thread there's a lot of shit about isn't there? I don't recall the school walk being quite so fraught with dangerous obstacles must have been lucky! BTW horse or cow shit really isn't as bad, but cat shit is the worst I think? So let's add...cats that shit in your herb garden

People who go abroad somewhere hot and are surprised the weather is shit here when they get back. Said people make a show of announcing it on fb. Why are they surprised, are they thick and do I care?

People who think it's ok to slag off an entire generation by labelling them a one homogeneous blob i.e.: millenials.

People who come on my FB page, when I'm having a legitimate moan about something. And then personally attack me, calling me a 'professional victim" but then have the audacity to call that polite discussion when called out on it.
Fuck off bitch

People who don't say thank you. My SIL is horrendous for this and it winds me up no end. I send her a card and money in the post for every birthday and I never know if it's even arrived and she doesn't utter a word. My DM gave all of us siblings a bit of money recently and told us all, and when she told SIL she just said 'oh right' and that was it. AGHHHHH.

Loads of great ones already!

People who argue so loudly and for so long that they don't notice that the other person is actually agreeing with them

Any sentence that starts with "I'm not being funny, but..."

Habitual lateness, it's incredibly arrogant

People that make zero effort to understand the news/current affairs

Those kids trainers with the wheels in the heels

Evangelical germphobes. By all means bleach/boil everything every day, but understand that doing it is your decision, don't tell everybody else it's a necessity to avoid insta-death

People who don't vote especially those that think not voting is an effective form of protest

@TonicAndTonic, I also hate any comment that's prefixed with 'I'm not being funny but ....' You just know there's going to be a know-all type of comment. And what do they mean by the word 'funny' anyway lol??

You are supposed to leave a gap......

People who walk on the wrong side of rural roads in the dark, wearing dark clothing. It's as if they want to be run over.

The food police.

Drivers who are too stupid to realise that you need to accelerate to maintain your speed when you are going uphill (or are too stupid to realise they are going uphill).

People aged over 5 who refer to themselves by a nickname. Vomit.

iCarly. We had it on a loop for DD2 a few years back and DD3 has just discovered it.

People who walk on the wrong side of rural roads in the dark, wearing dark clothing. It's as if they want to be run over

Same for cyclists who wear dark clothing. I live in a suburb and it's pretty well lit but I can't see you at night if you are head to toe in black.

I detest people that hint when they want something, just bloody well ask! There is a lady at the school that does this, I have offered time and time again to take her child to school and other bits, I have done it many times and yet she still dithers around going, "oh poor x won't be in school for most of next week, the car is in the garage and o simply can't get him here ... if only I had someone who could give him a lift..." I have taken to point blank ignoring her hints but will gladly say yes if she asks...

Oh and talking of other parents, if you've casually asked me to look after your kids and I have said yes, don't act like it's an outrage and a cheek if I ask you to have mine once! I don't expect you to say yes, if you can't then that's fine but don't embarrass me by acting like I've asked you for your first born child. 🙄

People that don't pick up their dog shit, it's gross and antisocial, people that have free roaming cats, it's gross and antisocial and I don't care if it makes me uptight and an 'angry person' but my kids like playing in the garden, I don't want to have to go and shovel shit before they can go out there, it's. Not. My. Cat!!! 😡

I detest people that hint when they want something

Me too. Hate it when people mom do that.

People who eat with their mouth open.
People who snort while they are eating.
People who smack their lips/ mouth while eating.
People who suck their fingers loudly after eating something with their hands.
People who speak with their mouths full.
Chewing gum .

People who let their kids run screeching down the hotel corridor on the way to breakfast!
Your kid may be up early but some people might be having a rare lie in

Kids toys that have two volume settings: loud and louder than a rocket taking off. Even worse when they advertise/write on the box that there are two volumes to allow quieter play (and then dm believes them and is surprised when she cannot hear me over the toy in the background next time she's on the phone to me)

Toys for toddlers that start a noise immediately every time any button is pressed abruptly ending the previous sound (Although sometimes it is funny when dd times her button presses so that a toys sings: "a, b, c, d, e, f, yellow!" )

Screenshots with low battery icons (no idea why but it is annoying)

News articles that don't let facts or the whole picture, get in the way of a good story- even the guardian and bbc are guilty of this at times (eg few weeks ago guardian website had an article about a politician who was outraged because of gay pride marchers - reading the story elsewhere it was clear she was outraged because of some of them being nude while children where watching the parade, but the guardian didn't mention the nudity or children - yes she went overboard with the hellfire and damnation but the tweet wasn't homophobic)

Toddlers and babies who wake up the moment they are moved off of me their parent

When I'm at an activity with my children, maybe visiting a city farm. And another parent requests that my child moves so they can take a pic of their precious petting an animal. Err no. You can wait or just not take it.

People who go out to restaurants/cinema/theatre/concert and spend the whole time on their phones. Put them away and enjoy the moment.

Going to the Sorting Office, there is always someone in front of me who doesn't have id on them and then argues with RM staff because they can't have their parcel.

Being told I need to go abroad or on day trips or to Ikea with a friend as going alone isn't much fun.

The kids in Waitrose yesterday who were running around crashing into people's trollies and their parent just allows them to do it. It ended in tears when the children got hurt.

The aircon in the shop where I work. Yes, I know we have to be at 'ambient' temperature, and customers love to come in and say 'it's lovely and cool in here', but you try standing underneath it for an eight hour shift. It's bloody freezing!

Zaphod Your work aircon reminded me of another thing that really fucks me off... freezing aircon in restaurants. Food goes cold quickly enough, without being blasted with icy air from above!

My Sil treating retail and waiting on staff like they are the shit on her shoes. I refuse to go out with her now. When I had to suck it up as I was now DHs new girlfriend I was extra nice to the waitresses to make up and took great pleasure in the fact she must have eaten many a meal that has been spat on or something worse done to it
