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! 😂

People who overtake on bends.
Small talk and people who can't cope with silence.
People who think that their opinion is the only correct one.

Eating with mouth open
People not being ready to pay/bag their stuff in a shop so you have to wait 10 minutes til they find their purse and pack their stuff

Thelineisadottoyou
People who whistle
We have one of those at work. It's how he makes his entrance. Makes me want to chop him up with my meat cleaver and put him in the mincer Angry

PrincessButtockUp · 10/05/2019 10:05

Oh, the vague Facebook status! People who do that in real life as well, suggesting they want you to ask for more information but then won't give it to you. It's controlling behaviour and I don't engage now.

People who just suddenly stop. In the car, the supermarket, at an escalator. I'll walk into you if necessary!

Catching any part of my body or clothing eg on a door handle. I get irrationally angry about this.

bert3400 · 10/05/2019 10:19

People who que for ages then spend 15 minutes looking for their sodding purse/wallet ...grrr

charliiiii · 10/05/2019 10:47

People who say we done etc it's did
People who think anywhere outside London is unsophisticated.
Glottal stops

Pugwash1 · 10/05/2019 11:21

In no random order and not limited to :
Poor manners, spitting, noisy eaters, plate scrapers, chatting in front of the shelves in supermarkets, getting purse out and fumbling around to pay after spending ages packing, not saying thanks if the door is held open for them, those ridiculous FB posts about sharing a bunch of flowers emoji to stop cancer and the suchlike, people lying on SM when you know the truth, reality z listers, poor hygiene, doors, drawers and cupboards being left open. Loads more. Clearly not as happy as posted in a previous thread!!!

Captaindaddydog · 10/05/2019 11:21

People behind who stand too close to you when you are being served at the supermarket checkout.

Captaindaddydog · 10/05/2019 11:26

The person who parks their BMW across 4 spaces in the supermarket carpark. I always feel tempted to squeeze my car into one of them just to piss the owner off.

JaneJeffer · 10/05/2019 11:31

People who cannot comprehend colloquialisms. There are different ways of saying things in different places. It doesn't mean your way is the right way.

my2bundles · 10/05/2019 11:33

Hugs, I only hug my kids and parents. People who stand to close in a queue. People with prams walking 2 or 3 side by who refuse to move even tho I've already made my kids walk single file to get past them (I refuse to make my kids step in the road for anyone). Parents who don't teach their kids to walk single file to let others past.

JaneJeffer · 10/05/2019 11:33

Mumsnetters who ask you where you got/read something and you find a link for them and they don't bother to acknowledge it.

janeybumtum · 10/05/2019 11:49

People who bite ice cream off spoons

People letting their DC run about harassing people and making a nuisance of themselves at social gatherings and pretend not to notice, leaving other party guests to fend them off

Marlena1 · 10/05/2019 12:13

@BenjiB I would have thought Haitch was correctConfused

BenjiB · 10/05/2019 14:13

@ Marlena1, I’d never heard it pronounced with a “h” at the beginning until about 10 years ago!

Marlena1 · 10/05/2019 15:09

@BenjiB you learn something new every day! I'm Irish though so I think it might be an accent thing.

MaMisled · 10/05/2019 15:13

People who walk slowly infront of me. I don't care if you're 76, fucking walk faster!

DontCallMeShitley · 10/05/2019 16:02

People who aim a buggy straight at you, expecting you to step into the traffic, or in a shop, expecting you to climb the shelves to get out of their way. Same with people on phones, not looking.

TheLastNigel · 10/05/2019 16:44

People -often recruitment agents-that say 'myself' when they mean 'me'

'You'll get a call back from myself in two hours'

Wankers

BossAssBitch · 10/05/2019 16:51

People who use 'myself' in the incorrect context, when they mean 'me' or 'I'.

Makes myself irrationally angry.
