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

Sales assistants saying ‘are you ok?’
Yes I’m very well thank you but I would like your assistance. Just bloody ask ‘can I help you’

Impressionists. Not the painters. But the fuckers who actually get paid for doing impressions.

It's annoying me just writing this out.

They are mostly shit. They have to tell you who they're impersonating because if you closed your eyes, you wouldn't have a fucking clue.

AAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH

.......and breathe 🤣🤣

I agree. The second name should have a capital letter too.

People on Facebook who ask questions like 'is Tesco open on Boxing Day?' or 'what time is the first train to x tomorrow?'.

Just fucking Google it! Especially when folk give the wrong answers in response

People who let their kids naps dictate their lives, little Johnny couldn’t possibly have a nap in his pram or his car seat he can only sleep in his cot.

Well mine doesn't sleep in his pram. If he doesn't nap then I can't get things done and it usually means a lot less sleep for me. Insisting otherwise won't change that.

People who call themselves single/lone parents when they have shared custody and are co-parenting.

Stupid families on stupid YouTube buying stupid amounts of presents for their kids at Christmas. (Also the stupid wife supporting a predator husband)

People who refer to the people they live with as the 'famalam' and call their vacations 'holibobs' really wind me up.

I also hate it when people start sentences with 'So'.

1. Incorrect use of apostrophes. Our local hairdresser is now "Open on Monday's".

1. Use of "Your" instead of "You're" as in "I hope your well". Hope my WHAT is well?

1. Don't get me going on 'less' and 'fewer'.

Note to self - get out more.

Oh, I have another one. Adverts on radio or TV that refer to prices using phrases like 'just one nine nine'. 199 what exactly? Pence? Pounds? Eggs?

People who have been waiting at a bus too for ages then only decide to look for their Oyster card when they get on and faff about.

Irrelevant to me as I am on the bus already.

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

Oh god yes! Especially when he adds the words "WE should do xyz more often" to a task that I do umpteen zillion times a day (wipe the counter top, clear the plug hole of whatever he's decided will go down it but it never does...)

The current kids pop group band thing being advertised on milkshake. The kids are way to over enthusiastically fake it just looks so odd.
When someone answers a question with 'no' ie; you are here to promote (product/book) how did you find the process? "no, yes, well I was very involved.."
One I'm particularly thinking of is a YouTube advert that comes on right at the beginning and it's a race to press skip before I hear it.

People who can't manage a food shop without a free coffee.

People selling things on Facebook who say 'no time wasters please'.
I'm pretty sure it doesn't put off people if they're the type to be time wasted anyway!

I drive past a lollipop lady who stands at the traffic lights presses the button and then when it turns red goes out with her lollipop. she always gives the car a 'thanks for stopping' wave. One of these days never I'll wind the window down and tell her I have to stop because it's the law and she should go do some proper lolliping and stop actual traffic.

I should probably find a diffent route to work.

Oh and shops that stock 'not to be sold separately, multipack can' etc. Charge full price too.
Or the actual miniscule portions of chocolate being sold as a chocolate bar but only a borrower would consider it a full size chocolate bar. I used to love nibbling through the layers of a kit kat chunky or biting the topping off my twix, now they are so thin they snap and land on my face making me look like a greedy fucker.

Weather forecasters' mindless chatter ... well its gonna be 80 degrees tomorrow, time to get out that barbie or go to the beach or do some gardening or wear a sun hat. WHATEVER!! I just want to know the weather!

Also, presenters and newscasters using slang like "gonna" and general over-familiarity. We're gonna go right over to [war torn country] or we're gonna join Jennie in Southampton with the ducks... Even on the BBC, especially on the BBC!

Call centre representatives who call me by my first name.

Another one (sorry) people who have either hair tucked into their hood, hood sticking out rather than in or hood of coat completely stuck inside collar. I have to stop myself from adjusting it for them and must look away because it causes my to be so irritated!!!

• People who say “my little man” in reference to their sons. Makes me want to scream. People don’t seem to do “little lady” with girls, or at least they don’t round here.

• People referring to their pets as “fur babies”. Not a baby.

• Mr. Tumble. Creepy AF.

Bit her name is Catherine 😂

@StrongerthanIthought76 yep, among the many FB irritants that one is right up there. Here is one from my village FB Page from the other day regarding the village supermarket which is a few steps from nearly everyone’s door ...

23 December 2018

Hun 1: does anyone know if Tesco is busy?
Hun 2: I was there at 10am and it was heaving
Hun 1: Ah OK
Hun 3: I was there at about 12.15pm and it was quite quiet really considering the time of year
Hun 1: thanks Hun but I’m hoping to find out how it is now.
Hun 2: shared, someone will know
Hun 1: thanks Hunni
Hun 2: my mum says it was quiet at 2pm
Later, about 7pm:
Hun 1: thanks everyone, I went next door to Tesco’s at 3.30pm and it was really quiet if that is helpful information for anyone for tomorrow.

WTF?

There is a big 4 bedroomed detached house near me, it's on a bend and has a garage and a drive which could fit 3 smaller cars on it. Without fail they only ever park one car on the drive and leave the other one parked outside on the bend. This annoys me.

I get annoyed when people post gushing posts to their other half, knowing full well their other half has been cheating.

People who say pacifically instead of specifically
