Yes WABU but we don't care...

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!

knittedfairies My sister is a rampant culprit!! She'll call and after a quick hello, carries on talking to her kids/colleagues/checkout person...whoever!! Nowadays, when this happens, I just hang up!!

When you are in a packed waiting room and there's a parent with a small child sitting next to them and they don't put them on their lap or make them stand so another person can have that seat, that boils my piss I once went to the doctors and an elderly gentleman had to stand while some snotty nosed mother let her child of about 2 years old have the seat! No manners what so ever if you ask me

People who take ages to start crossing the road when the green man appears. Really pisses me off.

People who say "pre-warn" - NO! The warning IS the warning, you can't pre-warn someone about something! (Sorry if that is a load of garble, but I feel better already letting it out )

Oh God so many annoying things.............

People parking opposite my drive so I can't get out without great difficulty - or IN! I am sure it's against the law to park on a dropped kerb!

People walking behind me too close to me.

People who have dozens of vouchers at checkouts. (Holding up the queue!)

People not texting me back, when I can see them posting on twitter and facebook, so I know they are on their phone and have seen my message!

Someone walking around the house with a toothbrush in their mouth cleaning their teeth. Like, walking round the house brushing their teeth. (WTF!)

Massively loud (attention seeking) sneezes (always men that do this.)

DH narrating what he is watching on tv. Why the fuck is he giving me a rundown of a programme I am not watching and have no interest in?!

There's loads more, but it's gone midnight and I have to be up at 6.30am for work!

My phone, correcting mansplaining to man's planing. Actually

When people park illegally with their hazard lights on. Just because they're flashing their lights doesn't make it ok. Gives me the rage.

Folk who take the authority/the title ‘supervisor ‘ far too seriously...It’s a word,not a dictatorship.Chill 🤟🏼Your boss interviewed me.I also worked there seven years ago.That bugs me too,i’m not a threat to your authority,quietly grafting for my wage as everyone else is.

Dole office interviewers who don't believe me, when I tell them...I do not own a fucking mobile phone.

Hahaha – all the people who get upset about people not moving forward in a queue as soon as the queue moves: I AM YOUR NEMESIS!

I so resent people for getting uptight about this stuff that I absolutely do it on purpose (so long as it's not the kind of queue that's blocking other people's passage), especially at airports.

This 2.5 feet in front of me will not actually get you to the front of the line any faster. There are the same amount of people to be seen ahead of us whether I'm standing where I am or shuffling forward the 3 inches you're losing your mind over.

Is maths, not geography.

I know it's horribly petty, but I feel obliged to put people who panic about queues moving forward through some exposure therapy whenever I'm in one.

And if I'm standing at the airport in front of a neck-drooler, I also like to turn around and face the wrong way very suddenly (turns out it's one thing to huff down someone's neck for a 5:20 check-in – quite another to huff up their nose!)

If you are a good-hearted Mumsnetter who this really annoys and I've done it to you, I apologise (and I'm totally not going to stop!)

Let me add the expression “boils my piss” - I HATE IT!!! 🙈🙈😂😂

@steppemum I know it's weird to be annoyed by it (isn't that the point of the thread) it annoys my DH too, we must be the only ones and so obviously meant to be

People who press the bell on the bus repeatedly, or press it even though someone else has just pressed it, or who allow their children to repeatedly press it 

People who creep reeeeaaaallllyyy slooooowly up to the car in front of them in a traffic queue leaving a huge gap between them. Why not just drive up to the car in front and then stop? I do occasionally overtake when it's safe and fill the gap.

When you're standing at a pedestrian crossing and you've pressed the button. Some knobhead will join you in your standing and press the button, despite it being illuminated and obviously pressed!

The worst one for me are friends that think owning a cat is exactly the same level of effort and emotion as having children. They insist on getting mothers day/birthday/Christmas gifts from their cat and it really bugs me, i deserve this 'best mum' mug because i pushed a baby out of my vagina and haven't had a full nights sleep in years, what did you do?!

Those same friends will text me to ask if i want to go for a drink at 4.30pm, like i can leave my kid at home with some biscuits and a bowl of water. Oh and make bitchy comments about parents posting Halloween and new school year pics on FB, whilst instagramming the shit out of their cat that ALWAYS LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME. Phew, i needed that!!

@sunsetgrigio

Brilliant rant!

@SunsetGrigio I agree completely but you've got to extend that to dogs too. I know a woman who is horrendous about her dogs. She drives me wild

Thanks @butterflysugarbaby

Oh yes definitely @PawneeParksDept

Oh yes, 100x this. I'm pretty irritable and easily annoyed at pointless things at the best of times, but my heart completely sinks when someone rings me, even a close family member. Just WhatsApp or text me, please don't make me answer the phone (not that I will anyway).

^this

And don't phone and then phone another 6 times because you didn't get me the first time, I will not phone you back! What gives me the rage even more is when I text back and then they PHONE AGAIN!!! I know one person in particular who does this everytime and it fills me with dread everytime she phones. I'm actually getting the rage just thinking about it, I may have to block her number.

I also hate when people just stop dea when thwy are walking infront of you or people that cut accross your path, my ds2 is the worst for this especially on his bike, I sometimes want to push him off!

People who stand on the right of the escalator, therefore making it impossible for anyone to walk up/down it.

This happened to me at a connecting train station once, missed my connection by about a second and took an extra two hours to get home.

Just leave a bloody side free, some people are in a hurry for a good reason!

@Thatstheendofmytether I think you are either someone who hates the phone (me too) or loves it but rarely do these two types of people find themselves matched!

I can't stand bikers that can't even manage to lift up their little pinky as a 'thank-you' gesture after I've been driving close to the kerb for the past mile and a half while they have been hovering around my car waiting to over-take.. usually over the speed limit. Fuckers.

Drivers who don't understand merging lanes - mainly where there are roadworks. If everyone just queued up on the left hand side and didn't use the right hand lane which is going to merge ahead, then the traffic backs up and has a knock-on affect to roads / roundabouts behind you. Even where there are signs telling drivers to 'Use Both Lanes' many still queue on the left side and than get pissy with drivers trying to merge in at the end. 
Rant over.
