When people ask "what's a taxi number, what time does x restaurant close" etc on Facebook - Google it!

This has absolutely no impact on my life, but it annoys me so much! 😂

what annoys you?

Tractors
Cyclists who ride two more abreast
People who overtake on blind bends dangerously even though you are at the speed limit
Headlights on full beam
Fog lights when it's sunny

Sweetdreamer93, i admire your focus!

Seniorschoolmum · 10/05/2019 03:36

DS leaving the front door open. Ffs, how much effort does it take to close it? Smile

And the salesman at work who thinks he knows how to do my job better than me - and who really really hasn’t got a clue.

Camsie30 · 10/05/2019 03:46

People who use the word "females" instead of women. 😡

Reinga · 10/05/2019 06:41
  1. Spitting , I fucking hate it .
  2. Americanisms. My DP insists on pronouncing vitamins as "VY-ta-mins" and saying things like "bathrobe". Fine if you're from the US but drives me mad as we're both Scottish.
  3. Auto-correct changing my swearing to "ducking". It should know by now Grin
ZeldaPrincessOfHyrule · 10/05/2019 07:42

Drivers that stop to let kids cross the road. If they just drive it's way safer for EVERYONE. It's misplaced kindness. Don't stop for my kids, it's impossible to teach a 3 year old not to cross in front of cars if people keep fucking stopping and smiling and waving us across. Plus they have no control over the other side of the road or the cars behind them that get (rightly) pissed off that the person in front of them has randomly stopped. Just drive, people! I'm fine waiting for a gap in the traffic! Angry

Sorry, that was more of a rant than I thought it would be when I started.

TessieVanKendre · 10/05/2019 07:43

People who say "Pacifically" & "Pacific" when they mean "Specifically" or "Specific"
Morons!!

EsmeeMerlin · 10/05/2019 07:46

Parents who block the classroom door at school pick up. They will put their child’s coat on/ talk to them/check school bags at the door rather than move to the side so all the other children can leave the classroom.

Vulpine · 10/05/2019 07:48

Mispronouncing words is not necessarily a sign of 'stupidity' but of a different educational background. Pedants suck the joy out of life.

yearinyearout · 10/05/2019 07:56

Bloody everything. I seem to spend most of my day in a state of annoyance ranging from mild to raging.

londonloves · 10/05/2019 07:59

Ants
My husband
My husband's lack of ability to exterminate said ants

jcq17 · 10/05/2019 08:07

When you're in the same room as people and get told information together ... then 5 mins later the other person says 'so what's going on?' YOU KNOW THE SAME INFORMATION I DO YOU WERE HERE TOO!

Sweetpea55 · 10/05/2019 08:11

Couples who meet up in M&S and have to have to have catch up usually on the corner of the aisles.. I walk straight through
People who walk along txting... I'm not moving..
Spitting footballers.. If I were manager they would all have tissues in their pockets and be made to wipe it up.
Doors that bang in the wind.....it seems this doesn't annoy anyone else and they all like to hear it bang Fucking banging

Boatsexer · 10/05/2019 08:14

The fact that people never go back and remove the posters they put all round the place. Great that you could find time to advertise your cake bake / disco / charity canine bingo event - surely you could find the time to go and remove them again after! (I realise I am probably the only person in the world bothered by this!)

EnglishRose13 · 10/05/2019 08:19

Breathing noises.

Lemonsquinky · 10/05/2019 08:22

Chewing gum
People who don't bother doing things to the best of their abilities.
My neighbour who only speaks to her dcs when other people are around.
My neighbour who parks opposite our drive.
Judgemental and ignorant people.
Vocal fry

Lemonsquinky · 10/05/2019 08:26

People who drive their cars as if they were an unexploded bomb. Driving under the speed limit, braking at every corner, braking when a car is coming towards them on the other side of the road, driving at 35 in a 60, but speeding up to 40 in a 30 and being really unreasonably slow pulling out at a junction. Angry

Notjudesmum · 10/05/2019 08:29

My ex
My DPs ex
People that don’t pay for their children.
People that claim benefits and are quite capable of working but can’t be arsed.
Spitting
People that don’t say thank you when you hold a door open for them
Doctors receptionists that want to know the ins and outs of what’s wrong with you before deciding if you’re ‘allowed’ an appointment.

Lots more...but I’ve got to take the kids to school!

StillCoughingandLaughing · 10/05/2019 08:39

People who are so terrified of rain that they will stand in the most inconvenient place possible in order to shelter their precious fucking hairdos from a single drop - like the people who blocked the stairs down to the train platform on Tuesday. Maybe those of you at the bottom can dash out to jump on the train the second it arrives, but what happens to those of us stuck at the top? Angry The same fuckers insist on keeping their umbrellas up right until the very second they’re on board.

People who stand waiting for a Tube train and then peer into sad train in wonder when it arrives before very, very slowly climbing aboard and standing right in the doorway. Why does it come as a shock? What were they expecting to arrive on said platform - a Prince on a unicorn?

Anyone who says ‘Just get ON with it’ re: Brexit. Yes, we know you’re bored with it. We’re all bored with it. But saying ‘Just get ON with it’ does not make you sound no-nonsense, plain-speaking and decisive. It makes you sound pig-thick with all the insight of a cold Greggs pasty.

crosser62 · 10/05/2019 08:45

Dog shit
Cat shit

Dog owners who rattle on about their dogs. I don’t like them, I have a phobia of them and NO your lovely friendly hound would not cure me. Don’t show me pictures, don’t go on and on because I’m not interested.

Litter. NO FUCKING NEED.. there’s bins everywhere or a pocket in your designer jacket, take it home with you dick head.

Put the divider on the belt in Aldi between your shopping and mine. You can reach it, it’s no effort.. do it.

Do not start putting your shopping on the belt when clearly I haven’t finished putting mine on. There is no room, my trolley is piled high.

Empty packets put back into the fridge/cupboard/drawer. If you’ve taken the last thing out... bin it for the love of GOD BIN IT.

Lateness, it’s fucking disrespectful, lazy and selfish.

Happy Friday everyone Grin

Loladisco · 10/05/2019 08:52

People who talk over others. Especially groups of people all talking over each other.
Irresponsible dog walkers
Tailgaters
The staff doing the online order picking in supermarkets with those massive carts and a couldn't give a shit attitude towards customers (Some are fine, there are just times in my local Tesco where there are 4 or 5 damn carts in one aisle)
People without kids using parent and child spaces
Neighbours cats shitting in my garden

BlueMerchant · 10/05/2019 08:52

Loud gobshite school mum's who huddle round the school gates waiting for breakfast club to open at 8am so they can be first to drop their obnoxious kids off.
It's 8am. We don't want to have to listen to you loudly gossiping, cackling and swearing. It's fking 8 am !! A*holes.

Notjudesmum · 10/05/2019 08:59

Just arrived home from the school run....turned the tele on and realised the one thing that annoys me more than all of my recent other annoyances.

LORRAINE KELLY. Urgh.

Alltheprettyseahorses · 10/05/2019 09:07

Everything. I'm turning into a right grumpy, gobby cow as I get older Hmm Grin

WeepingWillowWeepingWino · 10/05/2019 09:11

People whose Oyster or contactless (or Apple Pay - it's always Apple pay not working!) doesn't work and they just stand at the barrier staring at it in a bemused way instead of getting the fuck out of the way.

Dawdlers on the streets of London.

Pointless homework.
