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

I hope my previous post was not taken amiss , it was meant in spirit.

But here is one which gets me and does not cause me really any trouble. When you have people walking 2 or 3 abreast along a pavement and do not move one jot and you step to one side to let them through and not one person even gives a flicker of acknowledgement. ( I really need more to worry about don't I ) This one does annoy me more than it should. But then the people who say thank you probably please me more than it should.

People who post 'so what did the manager say when you complained to him?' 'So what did they say when you knocked on their door to discuss it with them?' Etc etc. Knowing full well the OP hasn't, I see it on pretty much every AIBU posted by some PA idiot.

Excellent thread.
TV presenters, both male and female, with long hair who don’t tie it back when appropriate. For example, presenter walks along a cliff top in a gale enthusing about the magnificent vista. His (her) hair is blowing in all directions and getting stuck in his (her) mouth. Even worse if wearing a hat, especially a bobble hat. It’s more or less stopped me watching any outdoor programmes on TV.

People at work who pronounce buffet as "Buff-et" then everyone starts copying them, makes me so angry.

People who take hundreds of photos of their child documenting their life on facebook. It nice to have photos but do we really need 30 photos of the pile of christmas presents, then another 30 photos of them opening the presents and photos eating dinner. Makes me feel that they have to prove they are having a nice life instead of just living it.

Cars parking outside my house

Public right of way, not near my drive but it has me watching out of the window to see who the CF is

This thread is hilarious 😂

Baby On Board signs. Does my head in!!!! Who cares!!! What are the people behind you supposed to do? WhT is the point of the signs? It’s not for emergency services so why put one in your car? Makes me wild!

People pushing in queues, even queues I'm not actually in. It gives me the RAGE.

Misuse of there, their and they're. It's not hard to get it right! And apostrophes in the wrong place.

People being rude. There's really no need. You don't have to be jolly but at least be polite.

Should of, would of and could of.
It's should have, would have and could have FGS!

Hubby, hubster and hollibobs.

@Claudia1980 I was told that the signs are for the emergency services so if you was in an accident they should look for a child. But I never used one and had a friend whose mother put one in her car while she was newly pregnant as she had precious cargo inside 🤪

People who believe urban legends.

A man who lives at the end of my street goes out at 8am for his paper every morning. Then he goes out somewhere a couple of hours later. Then he goes out again. Then he goes out again. And then again. EVERY SINGLE DAY. Walking past my house each time with his shopping bag. The most I’ve counted is 6 times in one day. Obviously has no effect on my life at all but it does wind me up. Also I’m pretty sure he’s the one who folds in my wing mirror every day even though I’m not even parked on the kerb...

When people here respond to a post with just the name. “Yes name When that happens to me I eat my hat and it is all fixed”. Then you have to scroll through to see what that person said.

When people here get all high and mighty that posters haven’t RTFT, or aren’t answering the “right” way. “That wasn’t the question asked” 🙄

When people on Facebook have changed their name to JJaane Ssmmmith, because they read a post which says it’s safer to do that. If you are afraid of Facebook, just leave Facebook.

• People who refer to their children as "our little prince/princess"

• Those fishing for attention Facebook posts (eg. checking in at the hospital for multiple people to ask "what's up hun xx?" only to be ignored/told "I'll message you".

• People sharing overly private/unnecessary things on Facebook. I saw it all the other day when someone on my timeline went into labour and I shit you not, checked in at the hospital with a status letting everyone know she was 3cm dilated

People who pronounce Loch as Lock

Oh yes. Mind you, I'm in no position to criticise because I was about 30 years old before I realised that when I heard people on the radio or TV talk about Luff-boro, it was actually the place on the map called Loughborough. Because to me Lough is pronounced Loch

Slow people at cash points. It makes me irrationally angry. I know it doesn't effect me, but it makes me so cross

Shitty, lazy clickbait journalism. i.e.

(Insert celeb female) puts on EYE POPPING display

Someone throws shade at...

Viewers notice massive BLUNDER when...

"Wardrobe malfunction."

"Poured her curves into"

French fancies, they do affect me though as they affront my eyes.

There are other things but this is the most irrational.

When people call the symbol # a hashtag when it isn’t tagged against anything. It is a hash and it has been on a keyboard for years, it is not a new thing. It is only called a hashTAG when you tag/attach it to another word

I agree about french fancies now you've fpdrawn my attention to them . My mum always says they look nice on the plate: they do not!

People who say things like “150% effort” or “I’ll give it a 100%”. Your maximum effort level is 100% because that’s how percentages work, if you’re going to go beyond that that and make shit up you might as well really commit and go for a trillion percent.

*I meant “I’ll give it 110%”

People using the palm of their hand to turn the steering wheel especially when they are parking

Totally irrational but it makes me really angry I have no idea why

Me too!!! Looks so cocky
