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!

My neighbours’ visitors’ parking. It doesn’t affect me at all, isn’t blocking my drive or inconveniencing me in any way, other than seeing it, it has no impact on me. But it bugs the shite out of me that their visitors don’t seem to see or understand what a driveway is for, or failing that, the kerb. Normal people pull up along side the kerb. These people, and there are several, aim their cars roughly at the house and get out. Leaving their car abandoned 10 feet from the kerb, totally skew whiff, on the road! If they were my visitors I’d send them back out to park properly. Or no tea!

Lorries that overtake each other going uphill on a dual carriageway

JudgeRulesNutterButter · 25/10/2018 22:55

My thumbs, for cracking painfully as soon as the cold weather starts. I love winter apart from what it does to my skin 😡

IAmBeyonceAlways · 25/10/2018 22:57

Aah @SukiPutTheEarlGreyOn yes!! That nano second of pure rage as you said. As soon as I posted I thought I should have said about the tissue thing too Grin

People pulling the petrol pump to the wrong side of the car!! Drives me mad!!! Just wait an extra 30 seconds!!!

there isn't a wrong side. I park my car at the empty pump, and use the pump. They are designed to be used on both side, and long enough to stretch over to the other side.

Weird to be annoyed about something being used as it was designed to be used.

SleightOfMind · 25/10/2018 23:01

I’m fairly tolerant of arseholes but people who take their car to the shop round the corner/school run/ to drop the DC to clubs when they really could walk or take bikes and scooters annoy me.

Especially when they pull up alongside us, engine idling, and offer us a lift. We don’t want a lift and you don’t have enough car seats anyway. Confused

Tupperwarelid · 25/10/2018 23:04

Work related but people that send e-mails, realise there’s a mistake do recall it then resend it with the correct information. Just bloody proof read it before you send it and stop cluttering up my inbox.

Charley50 · 25/10/2018 23:04

People who don't move along the train carriage to let people in, especially when it's obvious that loads of people are trying to get on. I always ask/tell them to move, and then end up muttering to myself about how thick and selfish they are.

HollySwift · 25/10/2018 23:07

People who think that because I’m a SAHM, I sit around watching Netflix or cleaning all day. No. I have 4 children and whilst they may be in school, I have a fuck ton of stuff to squeeze into the (roughly) 24 hours a week I have ‘free,’ including 12 hours of studying that I am 2 weeks behind on already FML

AiryFairyUnicornRainbow · 25/10/2018 23:07

Another work related email one

''As previously discussed..............''

Is office jargon for ''were you listening to me the first time, you asshole?'

Patronising AF

AiryFairyUnicornRainbow · 25/10/2018 23:09

Oh and whilst I am going on about work related / office related ones

Those Dicks, who CC their boss into every email, just to prove they are doing their job. But quickly remove their boss from the CC if things arent going their way in the group email with customers

FastWindow · 25/10/2018 23:10

I don't like drivers who don't acknowledge that you've waited for them to come through. Especially if you really didn't need to, but it made more sense to give way than assert your own right of way. Almost always older ladies in cars they can't drive.

HettieBettie · 25/10/2018 23:11

The way some people breathe or eat

DustandRubble · 25/10/2018 23:22

I once watched a red light creeper creep so far forward he could no longer see the lights. And so he missed them when they changed. I chuckled all the way home.

Stellenbosch · 25/10/2018 23:25

People who drive over the line when they are waiting to turn into another road. It's not helpful. The road isn't big enough for cars to go around them. They are just taking up space on the other side of the road!

Ditto, ppl who cut the corner when turning!

ellendegeneres · 25/10/2018 23:26

The way that if I say ‘no’ to something my son wants, he thinks negotiations have begun. Kid, you’re 5. It’s not a debate, it’s not up for discussion. You’re not wearing my bra to the shops on your head as ear muffs, because I look like the words most lazy parent and more to the point it’s fucking embarrassing how manky it is!!

Wetwashing00 · 25/10/2018 23:27

A driving one:
People who are in the wrong lane approaching a roundabout and just assume that if they indicate they can cut in front of you no matter how tight/dangerous.
🤬

bowdownbeforelokitty · 25/10/2018 23:30

People who get pets on a whim and then send out "Daily Mail Sad Face" rehoming messages on Social media in an effort to guilt people into taking over their responsibilities as a pet owner.

BaldricksCoffee · 25/10/2018 23:32

Things like when DH asks questions such as do I know what time adult dc is going out later, or will they want feeding when they get back.

How should I know, ask them yourself.

carr1e1977 · 25/10/2018 23:32

People who press buttons more than once; like pedestrian crossings, lifts etc. It won't magically change/appear if you keep pressing the SODDING BUTTON

annoys me a little......

IStandWithPosie · 25/10/2018 23:33

On that note bow people who breed dogs and advertise the pups as “needing rehomed” or “looking for a forever home” no, you’re just selling your product!! Angry

Tomatoesrock · 25/10/2018 23:34

Random ringing, the landline and mobile they piss me off when they ring. I rarely get peace I do not want to talk on the phone too. I especially hate if a person rings one and then the other. At least with a mobile I can text back.

IWantChocolates · 25/10/2018 23:36

People who leave cupboard doors /dishwashers open (DH at home and random people at work, grrr).

Yes to people who don't put up the little barrier at the supermarket. But also those people who move my barrier because I've left a few inches gap after my shopping but they want to use that space so SQUISH IT AGAINST MY SHOPPING!

Tomatoesrock · 25/10/2018 23:40

Oh I always leave cupboard doors open, I do not notice until I return, sometimes every door and drawer will be open. I am a nightmare.

Skittlesandbeer · 25/10/2018 23:42

People who listen through my whole voicemail message, which states to text me for anything they need me to act on inside of a week, and then leave an ‘urgent’ voicemail message.

Including my DH who’ll say things like ‘oh, I didn’t get around to buying the present and card (for the party we’re going to that night), can you look after it?’ So we both turn up empty-

And people who think with their steering wheels. ‘Will I park here? (Car veers left) Oh maybe further on. (Car veers right). Hey, a new shop! (Car veers left). Mmmm might stop and buy a snack (car veers right). ‘Ooo someone I know!’ (etc). Drives me insane.
