AIBU? Don't care if I am! Getting grumpy!

[strawberrisc]

Don't get me wrong I'm not an unhappy person by any means and I have a lovely circle of friends (of varying ages) who "get me" but the older I get the more the little, tiny things PISS ME OFF. You don't even need to answer as I know I'm BU but the feelings are real. Things such as people dropping litter or putting their feet on the seats on trains have always been up there but is it weird to be apoplectic with rage inside about such things as?:

Grown adults using the term "simples"?

Ditto "Snowflake"?

Haribo adverts where adults are dubbed as babies?

That kid that keep harping on in a simpering voice about how long Daddy is taking with the washing up bottle?

Young people (DD included) saying "like" every third word in a sentence?

People taking pads and pens to the most brief meetings at work?

Same people asking a thousand irrelevant questions when everyone just wants to go home?

Having a brief comment about old people annoying me deleted from MN when all around people are calling each other "see you next Tuesdays?"

Women on adverts having multiple orgasms about air freshener?

People checking sheafs of lottery tickets at the local shop during the lunch hour. Or ever, actually?

Any train station outside of London not having a self-service ticket machine?

People thinking their birthday should be some kind of national holiday?

People in front of you staring at the ATM like they just landed on Mars?

People turnng up at your castle house unnanounced?

Constant references to "Brexit" - or the DM in general?

Stupid new buzzwords like 'babymoon' and 'throwback snap (i.e a photo taken a week ago).

Plastic chairs.

Breastfeeding Nazis (and I breastfed).

Prams with the kid's name emblazoned on the quilt and hinges.

Asda changing the tinned mixed-bean recipe to cut out all sugar/flavour?

Lorraine Kelly?

Idiots always winning the National Lottery?

Ok, all irrational and I know I'll be flamed off here but that felt SO GOOD.

Those coloured FB boxes - usually completely boring and with spelling mistakes.

Also - saying 'lippy'.

FB.

Not all of it, to be fair. But posts that go something like:

Off on holibobs with my besties and my little princess #can'twaitforsomesun #needabreak #lovemybesties #hadashitthismorning #I'mafuckingtwat

No-one over the age of 10 should be allowed to say, let alone write for the world to see, the words holibobs or besties.

Also- I don't want or need to see what you had for dinner/breakfast/lunch/elevenses/tea/brunch/high tea/supper. I just don't care about your dietary habits.

Flip flops and the stupid slip slappy noise that they make. They are for the BEACH you idiots.
The word 'furbaby' !! Dear god.
And the new madness that is the word 'athleisure' wear. Argh

Just seen on another thread- 'just get an Uber home later' - an über? You mean a taxi? Just call it a freaking taxi.

"Should of" - it's should have !
Parky's advert - though not him
Every bloody toothpaste advert
LIke, like, like ! My revenge was every time my DD or niece used it I would repeat it back to them !
DD: I was, like, going ........ er ......to the mall with Sophs, like
Me: Interrupting ........like ...........like
God she was irritated by the end of the conversation, but I now have a lovely daughter of 24 who doesn't use 'like' in conversation unless it's warranted !

Good grief!
How on earth do you refrain from spontaneously decombusting?
I recommend kalms.

I feel a bit ill when I see Brits abroad, or even here getting totally smashed and wearing next to nothing, sprawled in the streets. It's disgusting, from Tunbridge Wells.

(I was a saint when younger you see, lol)

Whew.

Sooo many.

Doggo.
Famalam.
Blessed.

People who are texting me about how shit their alcoholic husband is and they can't cope any more while simultaneously posting a photo of the two of them on Facebook with the caption "enjoying some prosecco with this one #love #blessed #besthusbandever"

This one
Glamping
Nom
Food Porn

Can we make that 4?

"Should of" - it's should have !

Also, "was you" - it's "were you" for goodness sake
also know someone that says "hisself" instead of "himself"

'This happened'

I have found my people.

I feel calmer for the first time in weeks after reading this.

Bloody upward inflections at the end of every sentence. It's a statement, DS, not a question!

Although, when did "See you next Tuesday," become a euphemism for "Fuck off?"

And what do I say if I'm seeing someone on Tuesday? I'm meeting friends for dinner this Tuesday. I shall now be fighting the temptation not to say "Fuck off" when I see them.

@Vonklump C U Next Tuesday = cunt not fuck off. Be careful how you say it to your friends

Yanbu, my list of things that piss me off are too long to bother writing here. I have become a very grumpy and cynical 42 year old but most people are cunts so it's their fault.

Does more sense.

shodan I agree I can't bear it 2 of my friends do it all the time on Facebook every status finishes with hashtags drives me mad
Everything and everyone pisses me off just lately

#chillout @whattheduck

You do sound like a bit of a miserable arsehole. What does it matter if people do these things? I am tenacious and principled and apparently aloof but I don't get shitty about words people use and taking note pads and pens into meetings. Some people need them. So what?

Stop being so judgemental. It doesn't make you so-MN (oh I get you OP, these give me the rage!), or clever or discerning...it just makes you sound unkind.

Absolutely. Clearly the spirit of generosity overcame me just then' but I'm very happy to reduce the age limit to 4.

Oh, the irony...

People in supermarkets. Walking as slow as possible, standing in the way gawping, having catch ups in the middle of the shop and parking their trolley right in the way whilst they faff and pick up every item from the shelf to study it.

Whereas you PugOnToast sound like a little, twinkly sunbeam.

People who write "don't wait up" on EVERY going out status.
People who don't get tongue-in-cheek humour.
People who flood Facebook with wanky pyramid selling juice or tablets or make-up.

Wow! For "a bit of a miserable arsehole* I've cheered meself right up!

'Winning' a place at uni.

Given the commodification of education, that is now not the case!

I can live with being called a miserable arsehole.

'See you next Tuesday ' wtf ???
