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....

People in general annoy me. I hate supermarkets, clothes shopping & generally busy public places. I thought I was either some kind of secluded weirdo ( or undiagnosed Aspergers ) until I met my current love who feels exactly the same. We sit planning our people-less excursions and people avoiding tactics together : )
Can't really explain it, people in general just stress me out & piss me off. I'm happy spending time alone, or with family & I have a few very close friends. I've been single 6 years & it didn't bother me one bit! Loved the peace & quiet!

P.S in no way am I mocking Aspergers!
God Bless Thanks

The thread about pronunciation of Sian is currently doing my fucking swede in.

Mushroomsarehorrible · 21/09/2018 14:53

Rain and wind when I've just had a blow dry
Lipgloss in my hair when it's windy
Clothes that are too tight
Shoes that rub
People who walk next to me on the pavement at the same pace - fuck off, you make me feel awkward
People who don't like dogs - weirdos
People who use myself and yourself when it should be me, I or you
People who take up part of my seat on public transport because they are too big for just the one
Children screaming and running around in pubs and restaurants
Ditto on planes
Shameless attention seeking on Facebook
Those awful 'female empowerment' Marilyn Monroe memes idiots post on Facebook.

Gangs of teenage girls with bolshy attitudes who wouldn't say boo to their own shadow if they were on their own
Sausage lips
People who can't control their temper
People who say 'unorganised'

Sweetpea55 · 21/09/2018 18:13

sausage lips..love it...

And flared nostrils so you can almost see brain..

babysharksmummy · 21/09/2018 18:26

Any MLM bullshit posts on Facebook
People spelling words wrong to be quirky for example 'naice'
A cheeky anything
Nights out with 'the girls'
Shitty new food flavours like prosecco crisps, candy floss grapes
Bing

ZeroThirty · 21/09/2018 19:57

White people arguing what is racist and what isn't with an ethnic minority

stopfuckingshoutingatme · 21/09/2018 20:19

White people arguing what is racist and what isn't with an ethnic minority

That’s goes beyond annoying Actually

Quite a few on here too AngryAngryAngry

Zombae · 21/09/2018 20:30

I don't get annoyed as much as OP because if I did my cortisol levels would be so high I'd probably die. I'm calm all the time and then I save my complete and utter RAGE for very unsafe behaviour - especially if a child is endangered.

One is when I'm driving and pedestrians step into the road without looking with headphones on or on their phone or both.

Oh and the people who have their children in a buggy and are waiting to cross the road but the buggy is practically in the road whilst they stand safely behind it on the pavement - ARGGGGGGHHHH oh my GOD. Are you dumb?!

TheIncredibleBookEatingManchot · 21/09/2018 20:34

People who say "thanking you" instead of "thank you." It sounds so insincere.

MrTumblesSpottyHag · 21/09/2018 20:54

Youtubers/ vloggers
Dog poo
Littering
People who cut in to a conversation and turn their back on someone while talking at me
My hair

Mushroomsarehorrible · 24/09/2018 09:50

Oh and I forgot, my favourite love to hate thing in the world

'two more sleeps'

Makes me stabby. Grown women trying to be cute is nauseating

And yes to cheeky anything, girls nights, etc etc etc

LucyMorningStar · 24/09/2018 10:17
  • Adults referring to their stomachs as 'tummy', as in 'I've got a tummy ache'. Fuck off you're not 5yo.
  • Gusts of wind give me irrational rage
  • People having loud conversations in public transport, especially when it's a kind of conversation you shouldn't be having in public at all (sex life, periods, arguments with OH, etc)
  • People swearing at their small children or generally treating the kids like shit
  • Young girls ruining their faces with stupid fake lashes and tonnes of make-up applied very badly. Just wanna shake them and tell them they would look million times better without all that shit! I know it's choice and blah blah blah, I wouldn't actually do it but that's what goes through my head.
Sockwomble · 24/09/2018 10:23

People who think my disabled teen shouldn't be out in public. People who stare at us ( can fuck off). Both those being more than annoying.

ShotsFired · 24/09/2018 10:34

@TheIncredibleBookEatingManchot People who say "thanking you" instead of "thank you." It sounds so insincere.

Related to that - people who make up exaggeratedly pretentious versions of common phrases.
E.g. "taking the piss" becomes "extracting the urine" (and its always said 'ur-ryne', which is annoying by itself)

And men who greet each other by calling them Sir.

ShotsFired · 24/09/2018 10:38

People who stop for a chat in the middle of a supermarket aisle and/or leave their trolleys in the way. I now make point of moving their trolley out of the way and then walking through the middle of their chat. Stand to one side for fuck's sake!

Also people who lean round you to get something from a shelf when you are there. Either wait your fucking turn or use your fucking words. If you just hover to hint at me, or try to rudely lean, you can bet your arse I can extend my browsing on purpose, and I will make all the time in the day for it.

And people who come and stand right in front of you when you are scanning a section of the shelf. Why do you need to stand right there, do you think I am having a little upright nap or something?

Iamtheoneandonly2018 · 24/09/2018 10:40

Cigarettes OR Vapour in my face - horrid.
People who cough into the phone when you are talking to them- rude.
Talking in the cinema during a film
People who don't keep their dogs under control and who don't pick up after their dog.
Inconsiderate parking.
'Youths' in the park swearing/ spitting.
Lateness.
People riding off road vehicles on the road

CrazyDaisy2018 · 24/09/2018 13:59

People that say "arks" instead of "ask"
People that say "preformance" rather than "performance"
People that don't close drawers and doors properly (if I find my kitchen drawer open one more time I'm going to shove a piece of DP's anatomy in it and slam it shut lighthearted obvs)
People that say "should of" instead of "should have"
People that yawn really loudly and over dramatically

There are more but just typing that lot has given me irrational rage...

Gravelface · 24/09/2018 14:18

You're my people. I am ashamed to admit I have a list on my phone called "stuff I hate". Some things on the list below:

Karaoke

"Lol"

Small talk - all

Loud voices

Sneezing. Especially loud sneezing

People holding doors open when you're a bit too far away

People who say LARTAY for latte

People who say EXPRESSO

People who call when they could text

People turning up unannounced. NO.

"To be fair......"

People who don't put the divider down in a supermarket checkout

People eating noisily. Apples.

People having meetings in Starbucks SHUT UP YOU ARE NOT BILL GATES

"for my sins"

Tuesday not Tuesday people (this is when someone is starting to tell you what is bound to be an already dull and tedious story, which they litter with TOTALLY IRRELEVANT POINTS. "...and I was leaving work on the Monday..now, was it Monday? Might have been Tuesday. No, it must have been Monday as Martin had his appointment that day..." NO ONE CARES)

Gravelface · 24/09/2018 14:21

I forgot a couple.

People who, when they have called you, say "who is this??" Fuck off you twat who are you?

Lady at work who says Pacific instead of specific

That snot snorting noise. God. Makes me vom.

LucyMorningStar · 24/09/2018 20:13

Gravelface, yes yes to unnecessarily loud sneezing! Instant rage!

Thatstheendofmytether · 24/09/2018 20:16

All of your OP apart from the people in Yorkshire l. I don't know anyone in yorkshire 😂

Singlenotsingle · 24/09/2018 20:18

Smokers, especially people who think they can get away with it in my house when I'm away! Ring any bells, DS?

Thatstheendofmytether · 24/09/2018 20:26

Talking on the phone to anyone at all, people who talk about how much things cast all the time (no one gives a shit), people who walk about withusic on their phones and no head phones in (no one wants to listen to that tinny shite), people who talk on speaker phone she. They don't need to (again no one needs to hear that shite), people who tell you about what they are doing, where they are going on holiday when you didn't ask (again as above), people who sponge ie. Let you pay for things but never buy anything back, fucking dampness in my bedroom that I can't afford to get fixed and it's spreading to my kids room, weeds, shit coffee (save the trouble of the coffee machines if you can't buy decent coffee), me (I continue to say I am going to lose weight and never do, it's getting bloody boring now), people who beep their horns at ridiculous times of the day (like the pricks that pick my dp up for work at 6.30am and feel the need to keep the horn as though he doesn't hear the fucking van coming from the bottom of the silent street at fucking 6.30am)!!!!!!

Thatstheendofmytether · 24/09/2018 20:26

Oft I need to go scream into a pillow or something now

Thatstheendofmytether · 24/09/2018 20:27
