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 my DH asks me to do a job I am already doing/was just about to start. It doesn't affect me at all as it doesn't change the course of my day, but it irritates me nonetheless

Actually also people wishing dead relatives a happy birthday on Facebook.

I can't watch the local BBC news. I am from Northern Ireland and the lady who presents the news always says her Ws strange. I can't listen to her without anticipating that W sound. If you've ever seen Family Guy is the exactly how Stewie pronounces his W in whip. It's just aggravating

I have a friend on FB (old school friend) and she refers to all her boyfriends (several different relationships she has gushed about, including them all being 'The One') and she calls them all 'My Man'.

So over the years:
'Me and My Man having dinner, nom nom'
'Me and My Man walking the neighbours dog, #memories'
'Me and My Man don't need Valentines Day - we always love each other'

Blimey.

People who are wrong about things on social media. So. Hard. Not. To. Correct.

People who close their eyes when talking - like Jilly Cooper, Ann Widdecombe etc

Local newsreaders who give their opinion on what they’ve just read and ask the other newsreader their thoughts. Fucking well just read it.

“Goodness me, and now we have a heart warming story here from a lady in Lower Buttock....

(Story)

Doesn’t that make you feel so pleased Gary? I wonder what we’d do if we didn’t have people like Cathy in our lives. Your neighbour is a bit like Cathy isn’t she?!”

“Ho ho ho, yes indeed Sophie she is, but that’s a story for another time.... and now over to Francesca with the weather - it’s been a bit nippy out, hasn’t it Francesca? I had to scrape the ice off my 2012 Honda Accord this morning! What’s in store for us Francesca? Do I need to clear out my garage and park my Honda properly?”

My brother always calling presents 'gifts'.
There's absolutely nothing actually wrong with it but i hate it!

Erroneous apostrophes
People who say lil when referring to their kids - my lil man for example
When I pull the washing out of the machine at the end of a wash and it’s tangled up and comes out in one massive lump.
People who park their car in front of my house.

People who pretend to post as their do on social media, with deliberately awful spelling and cutesy wording. Fucking awful.

People who wander round the park on their phones, ignoring their dogs who then either shit and it doesn't get picked up, come over and harass my dog who is scared of other dogs or whose dogs get left behind and frankly bewildered. I was fuming at the owner of a clearly elderly and confused terrier who did the latter yesterday. Poor dog had no idea the owner had disappeared into the woods and stood for ages trying to see him. Twat.

Loose instead of lose. You lose weight, then your belt is loose. Argh! Just why?
Eating noises
Sniffling instead of nose blowing
Ads with those booming horrid voices shouting

People who read the bus timetable instead of referring to the real time information board. Why???!!

Ugly buildings and public spaces.

People on Facebook who have an uncapitalised letter in their name where it should be a capital - like Libby-mae. CHANGE IT

If there's a hyphen it's one name surely, not two, so why would there be a capital letter in the middle??

I have a hyphenated first name, boils my piss when people capitalise the second part or use it as a middle name

My irrational pet hate is the million and one posts all over my Facebook news feed since 8am this morning starting "I'm getting this in now before facebook gets to busy...." or the direct messages "before the lines get busy..."

Fuck off. Since when did the stroke of midnight break the fucking Internet?

Also hate the social media birthday/Mother's Day/Father's Day/etc posts...... directed at people who are not on social media. The worst are the Mother's Day ones, I want to scream at them to fuck off and actually TELL YOUR MOTHER not the rest of us who can't tell our mothers

One I see on here a lot. "Luffs" for loves. "I luffs you I do." Fuck off.

Cauliflower that is very specific but I find that you have pointed it out it is very irritating to me too!

It reminds me of endless rounds of office chat, or my mum and her pals!

People who park in parent and toddler car park spaces with older kids, like 8,9 10 yr olds. I think the reason it bothers me so much is because I remember really needing those spaces with 3 under 3 yr olds and wish they'd leave them available for those that actually need them.

People who shares stupid statuses on FB, the one that irritates me the most is "this month has 5 Fridays in, this only happens every 9000 years so is really lucky and if you share this moronic status you will become a millionaire"

No its not you imbecile!! It happens in approximately 1 in 7 months

How can people be so thick?

People who discuss soap operas in massive detail.

Reams of waffle on blogs about a recipe before the actual recipe. Just get on with it!!! I scroll through og course but but but!

Next door's dog. Actually, next door rather than their dog, the fact that they let it escape so often, and then it comes round to ours and barks AT US in our house or garden. Really annoying.
People who confuse their dogs with children, especially if they post on SM "my baby has gone.." WTAF!

Hyphenating two names just combines them. They are still two proper names. The second one should be capitalised

Anyone over the age of ten eating crisps in the street.

Radio hosts who joke among themselves and then laugh for ages about their feeble jokes. Just get on with the music!
