What tiny, completely irrelevant to your own life, things bug the shit out of you?

Mine is when drivers creep forwards really slowly at a red light. I don't know why, it isn't affecting my day whatsoever but it gives me a genuine temporary pool of such fury in my stomach!

People who don’t move when the light turns green.

mummysherlock · 25/10/2018 21:46

People who put dramatic attention seeking statuses on FB then when the ‘what’s the matter hun?’ questions come they reply with ‘can’t really say on here’ or ‘I’ll PM you. Well why didn’t you just bloody PM the few people you are happy to tell in the first place!

MolyHolyGuacamole · 25/10/2018 21:48

Mine is people who arrive at the bus stop just as the bus is pulling up and walk on in front of people. In London people don't really queue, but if I'm last to the bus I can clearly see that there are already people there and let them get on first!!

Glumglowworm · 25/10/2018 21:54

People who have no volume control

People who talk about the football team they support as “we” no “we” didn’t have a great game, you weren’t playing or involved in any way

People who eat while on the phone

People who take fifty words to say something when ten would’ve done the job perfectly

bimbobaggins · 25/10/2018 21:59

People who are offended by everything, even the slightest non issue I’d have forgotten about a nano second after it happened. Just stop giving a fuck, it’s life changing.
People who you know have their phones surgically attached to them but don’t reply when you send a message

DarkYearForMySoul · 25/10/2018 22:03

School mums who think they have to form bitchy cliques now, just like in their school days. FFS grow up.

Tupperwarelid · 25/10/2018 22:05

Middle Lane drivers - just move over FFS

SisterOfDonFrancisco · 25/10/2018 22:06

People who think they're right about everything.

OrdinarySnowflake · 25/10/2018 22:07

oh OP I sometimes do that creeping forward thing - but only if the kids are trying for a "clear run" journey where we don't have to stop at any lights on the way to/from somewhere. Usually if it's the last lights before home, I'll end up nearly stopping a long way back from the car in front then creep forward until green, so that we didn't actually have to stop, thus still 'winning' the game. I can see why it would be annoying, but it makes my DCs happy and keeps DC2 awake in the car on the way back from swimming. (10 minute sleep in the car = 2-3 hours less sleep that night, we play lots of games to keep her alert and awake!)

People who seem surprised to have to pay at the end of the supermarket checkout, and only get their purse/wallet out after they've been told the final amount.
They are inevitably slow bag-packers as well.

I hate them.

NoParticularPattern · 25/10/2018 22:08

Post men/women who can’t bloody read properly. Actually all couriers really. Our house and the house next door are named similarly- think X and X Cottage- and for some reason this baffles the absolute pants off every courier known to man. We both have signs. We both STILL get the wrong post. Extra dickhead points to the postman the other day who, just for a laugh, gave us half and half each. I mean why?! You’ve correctly identified that those bits say X and those say X Cottage so why couldn’t you also employ those handy inventions called eyes and work out that the other pile also has half that say one and half the other. It is not hard. In fact it is literally your job.

Bobaboutwhat · 25/10/2018 22:09

Responses to feeling shit -
Sorry I’m a bit off, I’ve got a headache - Oh, I’ve never had a headache before....... 🤬
Blowing nose on school run - Oh dear have you got a cold - No, just hay fever - hmmmm it’s a bit late in the year for that isn’t it? (Oh fuck you’re right, a will call the fucking allergy police straight away) 🔥

crispysausagerolls · 25/10/2018 22:10

People who eat with their mouth open

craftymum01 · 25/10/2018 22:11

Groups of people that walk really slowly in a line taking up the whole pavement. MOVE!!!

Also middle lane drivers and noisy eaters.

I could go on for hours on this thread, I am an incredibly intolerant person!!

NoParticularPattern · 25/10/2018 22:11

I feel better for that.

@KeepServingTheDrinks yes to those who have wandered accidentally into the supermarket for what would seem the first time, bought every item the shop contains, packed it so incredibly slowly and then appear completely surprised that they need to pay. How do these people get through life?

LittleMy77 · 25/10/2018 22:13

People who are always surprised at the airport by security checks and despite being told before they enter the queue, feign ignorance and do the "who, me?" thing when they don't empty their pockets ,leave liquids in bags etc etc etc. RAGE.

AiryFairyUnicornRainbow · 25/10/2018 22:15

People who use the terms ' Saddened' or 'Angered'

Urghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh dickwads

ohnoworry · 25/10/2018 22:15

Voicemails.

AiryFairyUnicornRainbow · 25/10/2018 22:16

Oh and, Vegans who dont STFU about it, like it is the most exciting thing about their personality

Dont get me wrong, I am far from against veganism, I am one myself...but pple who use it as a ticket to some kind of club, and it is all they talk about .......fuck riiiiight off

Meralia · 25/10/2018 22:19

When people use the term ‘boobie juice’ for breast milk.

When People say ‘scon’ instead of scone.

When putting my shopping on the belt at the checkout and the person behind me starts doing the same before I’ve finished so I’m left with no space to get the rest of my stuff on.

Meralia · 25/10/2018 22:22
