Hi,
I know the things that irritate the f*ck out of me are sometimes over the top so just expressing them here to see what irritates others.

People that stand really close to me in queues... They aren't going to get served any faster so get out of my fu king personal space.
*Obviously all the driving ones... Tailgaters, sitting in the middle lane on a motorway, overtaking dangerously, not putting their hand up when I've let them out, parking like a dick and not in the middle of a space so I can't open my car doors, arrogance (drivers of BMW's, some AUDI's and 4x4's (range rovers in particularly), lorry drivers, white van drivers and really really slow drivers.
*People who don't say thankyou when I've held a door open.
*People who bang into me or brush past me in a shop.
*Arrogant people.
*Rude people.
*People that lick arse.
*Two faced people.
*People who say "I tell the truth, I speak my mind and I say it like it is" when they clearly don't.
*People from Yorkshire always have to tell you for example "I'm from Yorkshire and we say it how it is".
People who pout and don't realise they look like a absolute prck.
*People who post loads of selfies... Get over yourself and stop fishing for compliments.
*People who are your 'friend' on Facebook but don't say hi in the street.
Bragging on social media of how great your life is... No one really gives a sht.
People who touch my hair or face.
People who say they don't want any chips for example but then try to take 'just the one' chip off you....get your fucking own, I don't give a sh
t whether your on a diet.
*People who are obsessed with what I'm eating or whether I've been 'naughty' and had a chip or cake for example.
*People who flex their muscles in the mirror and take pictures of themselves at the gym.
*My neighbours.
*Cats.

There are so many more but massive boring posts are on the list so I'd better stop now....

OP posts:
HazelBite · 20/09/2018 23:09

People who continually sniff (use a tissue)
Litter louts, fly tippers
Pavement cyclists
People so engrossed with their phones they are not, watching where they are going, not watching what their kids are doing/going, are unaware where they are pushing their buggy/riding their bicycle
People who talk to older people as if they are children (bloody disrepectful and patronising)

groundcontroltomontydon · 20/09/2018 23:32

People who step out of lifts or off escalators and stop dead, people who gather at the foot of staircases or in doorways ... just typing this is making my eye twitch

Needahairbrush · 20/09/2018 23:35

Just other people

FriggingMardyCow · 20/09/2018 23:38

People who have 'clicky' laptop keyboards - particularly in the quiet carriage on trains and those typing away in meetings when people are trying to bloody listen.

SO annoying. Shut the fuck up with all that tapping or get a soft touch quiet keyboard you stupid bastards [twitchy eye emoticon].

bigmouthstrikesagain · 21/09/2018 06:39

People who stop in train station and block exits, stairs, barriers. I had one yesterday I was trying to get to my train, two blokes both big one stops to dither and his friend stops too in the platform entryway. I can't get past them, bloke 1 is oblivious, bloke 2 says "sorry love" but stays where he is so I can't get past. Just - why!?

Second pet hate is train related but also anywhere public. People who play music, video etc on their phones/ tablets/ laptops in public without headphones. So inconsiderate and plain arrogant.

stopfuckingshoutingatme · 21/09/2018 06:41

Cords Getting tangles up (chargers)

Adults on scooters

Most male cyclists

Poor customer services

BellMcEnd · 21/09/2018 06:45

Actually I’d agree with cats. I have two and would like more. They are spoilt and adored but oh my god they really can be massive arseholes .

Tap dancing really really annoys me.

There’s loads of others but I’ve got to make the packed lunches (that also annoys me)

DroningOn · 21/09/2018 06:45

Bad eating habits - slurping, talking with mouth rammed full etc, the list is very long and disgusting. Makes my skin crawl

Thisgirlcant · 21/09/2018 06:48

Most of the things you've listed particularly the 'I'm from Yorkshire and say how it is' I am and I do.

I was queuing at the chippy the other day and a woman behind me was almost hugging me, bloodyou hell, stand back.love.
My new pet hate, when you're queuing in Aldi and they say we're going to open another till and everyone makes a dash for it with no thought to who was front in the other queue, happened to me yesterday and I got the rage!

Quickerthanavicar · 21/09/2018 06:50

People who use 'your' when they mean 'you're' and vv.
People who say "I myself".
Apostrophes in plural words.
People who complain about their community, but do nothing to support it.
People who don't use BODMAS on those bloody Facebook sums, that seem to be everywhere.
People using their phone while driving.
Lists.

BellMcEnd · 21/09/2018 06:51

Oh another one! People who fill up their cars at the busy petrol station then go and do what looks like an entire weekly shop around the attached Tesco express so no one else can fill up their car at that pump for 20 bloody minutes. Extra twat points if it’s the first of two in a row pumps and you’ve parked in such a dickish way that another car can’t fit around to use the pump in front. Absolute arseholes.

TeddybearBaby · 21/09/2018 06:53

I find that people who ‘tell it how it is’ are often just rude and nasty and that’s my problem with that! Don’t like loud chewing of any sort. People who park over two spaces 😡.

My friend goes mad when she’s walking and the person in front suddenly stops so she either crashes into them or narrowly misses them.

Areyoufree · 21/09/2018 06:58

Stepping in water spilled on the floor, when I am wearing socks.

Annalogy · 21/09/2018 07:06

People who check themselves into A&E on Facebook. If they're "checking" themselves in, they shouldn't be in A&E imo.

vampirethriller · 21/09/2018 07:11

People who get coffee in my sugar jar because they can't follow the simple rule of sugar first then coffee when making instant. So my sugar smells like stale coffee.
People who don't take the paper off the spreadable butter.
People asking me when I'm having another baby when I haven't even given birth to the one in progress yet!!

FatherDickByrne · 21/09/2018 07:54

Drivers who pull out to overtake cyclists and cross the white line in front of oncoming traffic, causing me to brake. Fuck. Off. If you can’t get past the cyclist safely, you brake, arsehole.

Sweetpea55 · 21/09/2018 08:33

Charity collectors,,especially those who ring my doorbell despite the NO CHARITY COLLECTORS notice.

Coathangers all in a tangle..drives me fuffung mad.
People who say 'Basically' then launch into a long embroidered tale that is anything but basic.
Men who wear shirts with the collar stood up...just how stupid and untidy do you look.
The breakfast programme on ITV..why the hell do they have to shout all the time

Sweetpea55 · 21/09/2018 08:36

People who walk towards me engrossed in looking at their phone...well im not going to move,,,twats

People who step out of the lift or off the escalator and stop dead looking around,,no longer do i try and squeeze past.

JuJu2017 · 21/09/2018 08:36

People who park on corners and in other stupid places at school pick up. There isn’t much room to park around DS school and the pavements do some narrower than average. I’m sick of having to push the pram in the road because I can’t fit round a stupidly parked car. Even worse is when there is some fucker in the car just sitting there watching me struggle. Even worse are the ones who leave their card in the road and just nip out to grab their kids.
People who can’t engage in a proper conversation, the people who it’s always all about them. Really winds me up - it’s not hard to say ‘and how are you?’

stopfuckingshoutingatme · 21/09/2018 09:47

Yes to tangled coat hangers

And when it hit my head . It makes
Me So angry for some reason Angry

BrightLightsAndSound · 21/09/2018 10:11

People with massive space tech style prams sauntering down narrow aisles

Parents who refer to themselves in the third person ("Mummys just going to put this away"/"Daddys going to...."). Just fucking say I.

BrightLightsAndSound · 21/09/2018 10:14

People who "treat" themselves or are "naughty" with a biscuit. Just have a biscuit.

Putting socks to dry. FFS! Emptying the washing machine generally.

When you do your makeup but your face hasnt completely dried so its still a bit wet.

When you fill a bottle with water and drink from it but a bit of water was dripped on the opening so it runs down your chin. ARRRRRRRGH!!!!

ImaginingDragons · 21/09/2018 10:27

Poundland self-service till that speaks like Elvis - seldom any staff-operated tills open so have to use it! Whoever thought that was a good idea?
