What irrationally annoys you that has no effect on you whatsoever

[Squatternutbosh123]

I'm sitting reading a book in the front room watching the neighbour close just 1 of his double gates after driving off his drive. When he comes in layer he'll then have to stop the car, get out, open gate etc. He can be out anything from 5 minutes to all day but does this every time.

Other neighbour leaves his bins at the front of the house rather than putting them down the side of the house. Same neighbour has 4 people who drive living in the house, yet mum always comes and goes in taxis, sometimes with her grandkids, shopping etc. when they are home.

My mum drives her car right up to her back gate then has to walk around the car to go through gate. She then moans that she gets wet doing this when it's raining, but then won't leave a gap at the front of the car!

None of these things affect me so whyyyyyyyyy do they annoy me so much.

I should get a life

Friendly but slightly chippy young guy who works in a local supermarket. Always says hello, how's life with you, or how are things today, that sort of thing. When you then say how about you, he always says quite dramatically and sarcastically "Oh, living the dream." What am I supposed to say to that ? You asked me, so I asked you. I avoid his till now when I can.

That someone I know let their child get sorted on Pottermore, they threw a strop because they got slytherin, and so they told everyone he got a different house. Then let him delete and retry until he got the house he wanted.

NO!!! The whole point is that you only do it ONCE.

😡

The expression 'get go'. Why can't people use proper English?

And “then” instead of “than” 😬😬😬

Loving these!

Adding, hate the term 'passed', didn't we used to say 'died'.

People who don't read ( here or Fb) before posting.

On fb they answer the same as everyone else - so 'what time does the bus leave?' with about forty answers of 7pm. READ BEFORE ANSWERING.

On here they also give the same response as others or miss an update and carry on with the same questions even though they have already been answered.READ THE THREAD.

And people who don't check dates before reposting Fb notices seeking help. This morning a post shared to find the owner of a photo, updates said 'owner found' and post was from 2016, READ IT BEFORE SHARING!

and I have just completed writing this thread round a visit from my DC, about to be caught out with NOT READING THE THREAD

"Really unique" or "so unique" - on tv. lt's either unique or it's not.

@Cagliostro

@Sweetpea55 said this I think - People using "we" or "everyone". "Everyone's rooting for England!" No I'm not. I fucking hate football.

Property hunters on tv shows. Looking around a regular type of house/flat and saying "Oh yes, this is a really good space." No it's not - it's a ROOM.

And a tiny little balcony over looking the sewage works. "Oh, I can just see myself sitting on there after work having a glass of wine" No you won't, you'll throw your old christmas tree out there and forget about it until a family of pigeons move in.

"It ticks a lot of boxes."
"It's quite small for a master" - said in a perfectly decent 1930 semi detached. No - it's just the biggest bedroom.

Definitely agree with being 'gifted' things. Oh, you mean someone gave you something? See also: 'I sourced it' ( = bought it).

May I add to the irritating 'I text her' the equally infuriating 'she's really bias' - no, it's BIASED. Gaaah!

Long hair tucked inside collars or scarfs, it gives me a weird feeling down my back. I always have to give my neck a rub.

Jeans with black shoes or trainers, sorry but it's very wrong.

People who talk to their animals as though they are humans, having full fucking conversations with them on the way past. "No, Toby don't jump on that dog he doesn't wants to play, come on let's go this way". The dog doesn't bloody understand!

The selfie pout, it drives me fucking mad!

People who say they are "A bit OCD" when they do not have OCD.

People who have their nails constantly painted. (Actually only know one person who gets her nails done every 2 weeks, but it drives me mad)

The way my dp drives right up people's arses, I'm sure people start going slower to annoy him. I would, and do if people do that to me.

Yes SteakPie, I turned mine of the other day, eventually had to turn it back on because I was hitting completly the wrong buttons and just couldn't be arsed fixing that many mistakes.

People who expect others to do their thinking for them.
E.g our local facebook page has recently had loads of people posting things like. "Anything Christmassy going on today for a 5 year old?". Am so tempted to reply No, in our fair sized city on 15th December there is literally not one kid friendly event happening. Or Let me Google that for you.

😂 there was one of these on my local page recently. 'What shall I do with 70 year old mum tomorrow? Recovering from sciatica' - I mean, what? Who's recovering from sciatica? Take ibuprofen and watch tv? Go to the walk in centre? Play monopoly?

I hate people who talk with whistly teeth on tv, it's so annoying! Helen George is one of them. Thank goodness I don't know anyone in real life who does it as I have no friends

People who say the year as two thousand and whatever. No. It's twenty eighteen and tomorrow it will be twenty nineteen. See how easy that is to say?

Finding an anachronism in a usually reliably researched historical novel. Found one in my Christmas present by a favourite author. Makes no difference whatsoever to the story but irritated me.

AND, argh, the plural of text is texts. Not textses. Please.

the equally infuriating 'she's really bias‘

This made me think of people saying ‘That was a bit nasally.’
NO it wasn’t. It’s nasal. NASAL.

People who say ' can I get' instead of ' may I have'.
People who dither about in queues or cashpoints. (I know I do too ! )

Or yak on their phones so everyone else can hear it.
The ones who tell you a story and you get the entire brief ; every last detail. Get to the bloody point. Thanks.
' toppers' : who like to tell you what they have or do better than you.
Boasters. No need.
Rant over!
( I shouldn't get annoyed about any of these things , it doesn't matter really)

People who say ‘hubby’ and people who say ‘I’m 24 years of age’ no you’re 24!!!! The ‘of age’ bit really inexplicably bugs me

I'm not sure if anyone's said this yet but...

People who ask on local forums "what time does sainsburys shut today?". It's probably quicker to look it up themselves!

Also, people who write F or following on threads. Just click the follow button!!!!

The crying with laughter emoji.
Strikethrough text.
People who talk to their children with a babyish voice.
Men who wear coats with a hood.

People who leave their rear windscreen wiper on intermittent, so it's flap flap flapping every 5 seconds or so in front of me. I only flick mine on and off for one wipe every so often. It annoys me too as they must hear the shuddering rubber as it scrapes over the dry glass!

The phrase MAKING MEMORIES and when adults call their parents Mummy and Daddy!!! Sends me into a conniption fit!

People who put notices up all over the place about their missing cats. I know it is mean of me but it annoys the hell out of me

Whistling. Drives me potty

People who moan if you leave dirty water in the sink after washing the dishes, but then Constantly do the exact same themselves & then moan at you for not emptying the sink (im looking at you dh!)

Women in their 40s posting selfies. Complete with mad brows and duck faces. Then the inevitable:

You look gorgeous hun 😍
Thanks babe 😍😍
So sexy 😍😍
You still with Michael?
No babes, dumped him 😪😪😪
He didn't deserve you anyway!!! 😡😡😡
You're so much better than him!! Wot a looser 😡😡

Etc etc
