Mine is my sil. Yet again there are photos of her on Facebook getting pissed on a Saturday night. She's over forty and has two kids. Meanwhile her recently widowed mum has to look after her kids for her all day today yet again because she is hung over and partner has to work. Dh and I have not had a Saturday evening together since his dad (who is sil's dad) passed away because mil comes to stay with us every weekend. Sil hasn't offered to have her once.

Yet everyone thinks she's wonderful and that her partying is hilarious. I think it's pathetic and selfish and completely gets away with it. That's why she's the most annoying person in my life.

My brother in law is a total dick. He makes rude comments to me, my parents and my son.

I've argued with him many a time. I've spoken to him once this year and it's been lovely not listen to him bitch and whine about other people's kids on the bus, on the train, in a restaurant, etc.

I do feel for my son not having a relationship with him or my sister but they don't contact me and haven't for a long time before that. It was always me seeing if they were available so now I don't bother and neither do they.

Old friend who makes a point of how close we are, based on how close we were 15 years ago (with no basis in the reality of our relationship today). However, I've come to realised she uses the whole 'best friend' thing to treat me shabbily; i.e. pulling out of plans at the last minute and laying a whole 'but you're my best friend, you should understand' guilt trip on me. She also has a habit of making 'playful' digs about my weight and appetite (I'm only a 12 - 14, but she's a gym freak). She just made a big thing of taking a month-long break from social media, and I've realised how much more I enjoy Facebook without her comments (and fucking endless gym selfies) 😏

Husband

ticketytock1 · 11/09/2017 00:17

God I know loads. Half the people in my office. One senior manager who is openly sectarian. I want to whack her on the forehead with my shoe.
My BIL. Hitting 40 and still parties and takes drugs all weekend like he's 18. So fucking annoying, grow the hell up.
My ex bff. She split up a marriage.. I can't abide that level of deceit.

I've god a few more and some are for really irrational reasons.. I would be being unreasonable lol!

I'm not much of a people person which is weird because I need to be for my job. I guess I just don't tolerate assholes very well

plantsitter · 11/09/2017 00:23

My cats. Not technically persons. Rest of family love them, I get no value from them whatsoever other than clearing up shit and being tripped up for food.

WickedLazy · 11/09/2017 00:23

My ex, because he's a an alcoholic, using, selfish, violent, cowardly, woman bashing, bullying, thieving cheating, lying brass necked cunt! Everyone believes the image he projects to the world, but behind closed doors he's much nastier, and more sly and manipulative than most people would ever imagine. I don't hate him so much, as I hate that people believe his bullshit! His relatives acting all smug because "they know the truth". No you fucking don't!

Ahhh that was cathartic.

My DPs sisters boyfriend...such a sexist man

CoveredinLansinoh · 11/09/2017 00:59

Best friend's husband's best friend - should be distant enough but relationships mean he's in my life every cunting weekend. Your witty one liners, banter and inability to hold a conversation beyond the depth of a petri dish should make me feel sorry for you, and I know there's a good guy in there, but my god I have your voice in my ear all the fucking time.

PoppyPopcorn · 11/09/2017 08:41

Someone I volunteer with who breezes in and out when she feels like it, dithers, does 10% of the work of the rest of us, interferes, gets in my way and does my fucking head in. And because she's a volunteer we can't really tell her to piss off and not come back.

EdmundCleverClogs · 11/09/2017 08:42

My loud and selfish next door neighbour.

My MiL, who actually upgraded from 'bearably annoying' to full blown 'rude and offensive' on her last visit (to the point where my partner wanted to kick her out, never seen him so cross over her behaviour!).

Scribblegirl · 11/09/2017 08:45

Myself Blush
I don't know why I can't stop drinking wine and overeating. It annoys the fuck out of me.

Everyone else in my life is pretty awesome. I'm the outlier!

Nomoresunshine · 11/09/2017 08:50

My now ex friend drove me nuts. Pandered to her exh more than should be legal. .
Would never let her dc in the garden unsupervised (both in primary school) and let her dh abuse their lovely spaniel. . .

AccrualIntentions · 11/09/2017 08:51

My mum. I love her, and she's a wonderful mum and will be a wonderful grandma but she annoys me so much.

Closely followed by my mother in law. Just stop talking, for 30 seconds, please. I'm really not that interested in Linda from down the road's daughter's husband's brother's latest extension.

AWendyAteMyFitTit · 11/09/2017 08:51

It's a toss up between my ex-H and my landlord...

Actually I think it has to be the ex: his twattery constantly exceeds expectations.

laurielee23 · 11/09/2017 08:55

My mother, closely followed by my sister. Both totally selfish, judgemental and spiteful.

lightgreenglass · 11/09/2017 08:56

Currently my 2 year old son who won't stop whinging.

LakieLady · 11/09/2017 09:06

The new person at work that I'm mentoring. Thinks they know what needs to be done, but actually hasn't got a clue, doesn't listen, can't seem to grasp anything, asks the same stupid questions over and over again, has near non-existent IT skills and consequently asks stupidly basic questions (how to attach an email to a document, for example) while I'm trying to get on with my work, can't find their way to places even with a satnav, can't update their own calendar .... fuck only knows how they got appointed, and when I find out which fuckwit of a manager appointed them, I may not be able to restrain myself.

highinthesky · 11/09/2017 09:12

No longer exist (for me). I have put the evil sociopath on my real life ignore list, with good reason.

Recently he was complaining to my family member "none of your family will speak to me". With very good reason, fucker.

Elendon · 11/09/2017 09:17

My exh. He is the most irritating person I've ever known.

His mother is the same.

So pleased I no longer have to attend their Boxing Day 'celebrations'. Just one example of thousands.

Charley50 · 11/09/2017 09:17

My DPs ex. For refusing to acknowledge my existence, ever, although I had absolutely nothing to do with their breakup, and have now been with him over a decade. And even more, for putting her need to have control over him, above the need for their DD to have an independent relationship with her dad.

Actually, my DP more so, for allowing it to happen. Not even sure 'annoying' is the word I'd use.!

Actually, me, for putting up with such fuckery for so long.

My kids nursery, who have put the prices up again meaning I'm working like a dog yet earning negative money

My mum - I told her I was depressed and anxious and as a result of it, I have bad stomachache and spend a considerable time on the toilets, her answer ? Well see the positive, you are going to lose weight ! #FML

DeadDoorpost · 11/09/2017 09:26

Id normally say my mother but I've got someone else in mind now...

The woman who I've barely met before but asked me all these personal questions about my pregnancy and wanted to touch my belly back off and don't try I'll actually punch you and then felt after 4 weeks of her cornering speaking to me every Sunday (for like 20 minutes) when she saw me if I'd be her surrogate mother once this pregnancy is over.she was being serious.
No, crazy lady, not when this pregnancy has been hell and I don't know you and you weird me out!! Go ask an actual friend of yours.
(This isn't a dig at anyone asking for surrogate parents. The issue I have with this woman is she's told me all her life story already without any signs of me being interested and there's more issues there with her but if i say any more it might out me.)
