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! 😂

Persons. Boils my piss. It's person or people. There is no S on person.

Autocorrect. It just changed on person above to in person like 10 times Grin

spaniorita · 10/05/2019 17:21

Everything annoys me apparently. I'm the most irritable person ever.

Tangled up headphones
Hair sticking to lip gloss in the wind
Sniffers on the train
People who know you're waiting to do something but take their sweeeet time anyway
Obviously noisy eaters
Man spreading
Loud speaker phone calls and mobile music playing in public (and also loud one-sided conversations)

I'm always irritated, I must learn to relax and let it go.

Reddedder · 10/05/2019 17:23

People who blame everything on Americanisms. Most of the time they’re not, they just hate America and want to blame them for everything

flirtygirl · 10/05/2019 17:35

Drivers who want to overtake but who come up super fast and immediately start flashing their lights whilst tailgating you. I do move but I move slower into the other lane as these drivers are twats.

My kids who finish the last of the nice sweets, biscuits or juice when there was enough for everyone to have some.

People who post pics of their pets, ie the dog and dsd thread. Why did people put so many pictures of their ugly mutts on that thread? I was teamdog but enough with the literally dog ugly pics.

Stinky people.
People who are oblivious to others.
Rude people.
People who spit.

Men who pull their jeans up high over a massive belly.
Women's with droopy bellies or bums in leggings and showing them for all to see. I have a fat stomach and arse but I wear a decent length top over my leggings. I think this should be the law.

Mumsnet bitches who bitch about the op drip feeding when the op simply answers a question.

Quite a few posters who simply cannot even imagine anyone who does not live, eat, breathe, chew or dress in the same way as them.

Fat shamers.
School apologists.
Racists

People who want brexit

And lastly

Wohm that look down on sahm .. Sahm that look down on Wohm.

Recruitment agencies who say 'I'm reaching out to you'

Discarded bags of dog poo

tor8181 · 10/05/2019 17:59

im on a few facebook groups about supernatural and people post oh im having a bad day/soso has died can you post pics up for me to cheer me up?

i always reply(after hundreds have posted pics)havent you got google?do it your bloody self

another one is assuming kids are older than they are and expect more out of them

both my boys have been way bigger than they should since birth and people think they are so much older and expect them to act older.

ive had this since my youngest was very young(18 months on wards) as he was very long born(8lb 10 26 inches long) and would put on 2-3 pounds a week and by 2ish people though he was 5 or 6 as he was very tall, big feet and out of nappies by 20/21 months so not in any prams as he always walked or was carried as he out grew the weight limit of a pram by 9-10 months

the rows i used to have with the bus drivers,he was also non verbal at the time,well he would be being a baby but he didnt talk till 6 so when they used to argue with me they used to try and catch me out and question him on his age and what year of school hes in? hes used to just look at them confused so i used to get really arsey as 1 i was being called a liar on a daily basis and 2 they would use a baby to try and catch me out

i used to say i told you hes bloody sonso months or what ever age at the time)he cant talk yet as hes a bloody baby

i took this for a few months and i got that pissed off as the bus was a 40 min journey to the nearest town,one way so 1 hour 20 min round trip and we used to go daily,no bloody way was i paying for a baby, i went to the local bus depo talked to the manager and asked for all the drivers to be aware as im getting pissed off arguing twice or three times a day and being accused of lying in front of a sometimes full bus

within the week he was issued with a bus pass so that i wouldnt even have to talk to the drivers(had my own pass)and that got renewed weekly,at 5 my partner started driving so i never paid for him when he did come of age(looked 8-9 by then anyway)

another one is reent as the last year my 8 y old is constantly getting turned away from play centers for being too old(11 is the cut off age)or too tall(5ft1)

i kick off every time and say hes still bloody 8 and y3, dont matter how tall he is hes still bloody 8

i then get oh im sorry i though he was 12/13

makes more even more angry is hes mentally 4-5 so not if hes acts older

missmouse101 · 10/05/2019 22:38

People typing 'just that really' after their thread title. People blocking doorways talking. People staring at me. People commenting on my purchases/what I'm eating/how short I am. Appalling spelling and grammar, where the writer has no desire to improve. Things falling over or off. People saying 'can I get', people who have exactly the same opinion on everything as their partner. You are two entirely separate human beings. Hmm

Corna · 10/05/2019 23:09

Groups of slow old people at lunchtime in m and s using both sides of the staircase at once instead of walking behind each other, leaving the other side free for faster people, oblivious to the huge backlog of people ground to an actual halt behind them.

People (usually men) who take up all the available space on the pavement and expect others to magically disappear or walk into a busy road so they don't have to move over by 10 cm.

Drivers who ignore pedestrian crossings I always wonder if they behave like that with their trolly in the supermarket. Spoiler alert: No, it's just that being in a car is an excuse for shitty selfish and dangerous behaviour.

People who spout off on threads about things they don't know and then without even blinking change their advice after 10 seconds of googleing. Usually related to landlord/renting issues...

Should of instead of should have.

People asking fb for easily googleable information.

People who think you are the bloody doorman and just expect you to hold the door as they saunter through without bothering to attempt to take hold themselves as you try to let go.
Oh god thats a lot!

StillCoughingandLaughing · 10/05/2019 23:25

People who think being ‘allowed an opinion’ means you can be as twattish as you like with no comeback.

Anyone who blames everyone and everything but themselves for their own shortcomings.

Rainbowknickers · 13/05/2019 19:35

Gifted!as in ‘I was gifted this by my husband!’its ‘I was given this as a present by my husband’!

mamaduckbone · 13/05/2019 19:47

Noises...chewing, clicking, snoring, sniffing, even breathing sometimes. It can be a bit of an issue. Apparently there's a name for it.

Dieu · 13/05/2019 19:49

My cat. I love him, but he's an annoying wee twat.

Foxyloxy1plus1 · 13/05/2019 19:58

People in Sainsbury’s who pack their shopping reeeaaallly slooowwly and then get out their money off vouchers, which the cashier has to go through. And they’re generally out of date anyway.

Que- it’s a queue. Or cue, as in cue in a song.
Kerb is the thing at the edge of the pavement. The other is curb, as in curb your enthusiasm.

People who walk along pushing a buggy glued to a phone, whilst the child in it has no apparent connection with the parent.

Anyone on FB who posts a status about being at the airport/ at the GO/ at the hospital/ eating a meal.

People who cross the road whilst glued to their phone. How can you possibly be aware of traffic.

NowWeAreSuckingDiesel · 13/05/2019 20:01

People who walk diagonally across busy places and get in everyone's way

Additional random fees when buying gig tickets

NowWeAreSuckingDiesel · 13/05/2019 20:03

When people post on fb groups saying 'remove if not aloud'. I hate that for (a) the spelling and (b) the sentiment

AnyFarrahFowler · 13/05/2019 20:04

People who think their dogs are people with feelings - like genuinely think they’re their babies - then get all offended when you don’t want their germy slobber all over you. Put it on a lead and fuck off away from my kids!!

People who criticise how much milk I have in my tea - I’m not making you drink it! How much does it affect your life, really?

People who say “generally” when they mean “genuinely”.

HeronLanyon · 13/05/2019 20:11

People just not looking out for older people.
People being rude to waiters.
People talking loudly for the benefit of everyone but the person they are talking to.
