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

when making a recommendation, people writing:
xyz for sure.
I swear by xyz

People, usually on a Facebook group, using a child first name.
"Arthur does this". No one knows who Janet or Arthur is, it could be your husband or your pet turtle, it annoys me beyond belief. Why can't you write: my son when you are talking to a group of complete strangers?

People that whinge about having no money then go out and buy a non essential, expensive item.... cigarettes (while whinging about having no money to buy food), have an expensive phone, go to the movies, out clubbing and drinking etc. Grrr.... if you can find money to do those things, you are not broke enough to whine about it.

Haha, I call my DS 'little man' and 'Bubba', I also refer to 'boobie' and call my husband 'hubby'. Sorry I would feel annoyed about the fruit not being picked because it is a waste.... I would also ask to pick it though.

Over use of hashtags on Facebook. One aquaintence will post multiple on one photo quite often 20.
#blonde #fun #gym #sweat

OH and I have turned it into a game now. “Guess how many she’s got on this one?”

People who post on Facebook or Instagram about 'this one'. Happy birthday to this one with a photo, love being with this one with a photo, going out tonight with this one. You and this one can fuck off

@KatsutheClockworkOctopus
Couldn't agree more

MLM it’s reached new heights today where even though MLM friend doesn’t try to sell me stuff I still get enraged by her claims of our intestines being full of “toxic sludge” and only her detox juice/coffee will cure it

My neighbour drilling loudly on Christmas Day I did nearly wang the gammon joint bone at him

Hashtags and seven thousand photos of the same thing

There’s many tbh 😂

@Shamalamalam
Just the thought of that is making me twitch.

Oh, this one is definitely not irrational but people that post weird AIBU and then when you get to the end you find out the person posting it is doing it from a perspective of their cat. There was one the other day when ‘Shrek’s wife’ was posting. They really irritate me. I don’t mind the ones where it’s obvious from the title like the toddler and teenager ones in classics, just the ones where it’s cryptic and draws you in with an unidentifiable title.

Crappy pictures of the landscape. Leave it to the professionals.

My current pet hate is people who call their adult dogs puppies, or worse, say that their pets are the brothers or sisters of their human children.

I definitely agree with this, and would add to it people who pretend their dog is excited for the birth of its new "baby brother/sister". Not only does the dog does not know this is happening, if they did I think their main emotion would be annoyance at the small, loud thing that is about to be around all the time, taking up time and attention that used to be used on them.

People who put their Christmas decorations up early because they LOVE Christmas so much, and then moan on Boxing Day that they're sick looking at the damn things and would it be Bah Humbug to take them down already.
Doesn't affect me at all but is annoying.

So many things...

People who stop and indicate that they will be pulling into your space as you walk towards it with your trolley. I know it doesn't affect me, but there are plenty of other spaces so just fuck off. Every time this happens I slowly pack away, take my trolley back, and then walk back into the shopping centre.

Anyone who says "Making memories"

Anyone who still has stupid inspirational quotes on their walls, or shit like KITCHEN. No words on walls, OK?

People who chew gum.

I think that's most of the ones that don't really affect me. I appear to be rather intolerant.

As previous poster, using 'text' as a past tense. I've only just, reluctantly, accepted it is now a verb.

My friend's daughter's name, it is a traditional name, but spelt with a y instead of an I.

shop assistants (or whatever) saying "have a nice day" with an insincere smirk
Someone who you are never going to see or talk to again saying "see you"
Really over cheerful people on the phone from British Gas
I am obviously an old miserable git because most of the above especially the poor woman at BG were trying to be friendly but it just makes me cringe

Cars powered by fairy dust
Making memories
Feeling blessed

My neighbour drilling loudly on Christmas Day
that is not irrational, it affects you

Tv presenters who generalise..' We're all routing for Andy Murry' 'Everyone loves chocolate',,,,er nope..

Coat hangers that get tangled up together,,,,I need them but i hate the little tangly fuckers

DH has a lot of agencies contacting him about contracts,, The ones that say..' im reaching out to you' make his flesh creep.

Ashton Kutcher's hair irrationally annoys me as does David Morrissey's.

I also get annoyed when people use tea towels to remove trays from the oven I've bought all my friends oven gloves for their birthdays; they look at me like this

There's someone on twitter who always asks for money via PayPal when they can't pay their rent. It annoys me that they don't have a Go Fund Me so I can't see how much people have given.

Related - it annoys me that people regularly ask for money on social media.

People who wear black tops with blue jeans.

Cats with irregular patterns (apart from my cat - who is perfect in his irregularity)

People who don't compliment my cat.

People who have beans AND salad with their baked potatoes. Monsters.

Ugg boots.

People who scrape and scrape at their dinner plates to get every last morsel. Just lick it if you’re that desperate.
People who snort their snot and swallow it instead of blowing their nose. They are usually sitting next to me on a plane and I have to listen to them the whole journey.

'I could of' instead of 'I could HAVE'

Dressing gowns. I hate them.

Fancily trimmed facial hair on men - soul patches, thin strip down the chin centre, tiny fringe along the jawbone, goatees, etc.

Just shave or grow rather than both! I can't be doing with all the topiary.

Flipping I regularly wear blue jeans and black tops. I had no idea this was potentially annoying so I am now educated.

I think your cat is beautiful.
