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?

Slow drivers - usually a brand new Picanto driven by an elderly person who thinks they're driving a Ford model T, who will drive 35mph and not a rev more in a 50 zone.

People who answer their phone at the checkout. Unbelievably rude, more so when they then faff with coupons and paying.

MinesaPinot · 16/05/2019 09:43

Don't get me started....

People who walk along glued to phones, tablets etc with absolutely no consideration or awareness of the people around them.
Similarly people who do the above also wearing headphones.
Noisy headphones on trains
People who can't be bothered to control their kids in public - Little Johnny wants to run around and scream in a café? Leave him alone, he's only being a child...

I could go on.

I honestly think I should go and live on a island somewhere.....

Crap on tv
My feet big and wide
Dust
Dandelions in my grass
Bras

firstimemamma · 16/05/2019 09:45

YouTube mums / instamums who completely contradict themselves e.g. endless primark and pound land hauls then do ad work that involves them parading a metal straw around or washing clothes on 30 degrees. It's so obvious it's for the money!!

People who judge how other people feed / raise their babies

When I stand aside to let someone through then 20 other people decide to go for it to so I'm just stood there for ages and no-one says thank you

Cost of public transport

When people decide what they want is more important than what we think is best for our baby e.g. when he was a newborn people wanting to pass him around endlessly etc and not caring if they upset or woke him because they'd 'driven all this way' Angry

Sobeyondthehills · 16/05/2019 09:46

That nearly everytime we have no money, is the time I start craving a takeaway, then when we do have enough money I don't.

My brain annoys me alot

firstimemamma · 16/05/2019 09:48

Could of

It's could have ffs!!!

firstimemamma · 16/05/2019 10:06

When you're not feeling calm and someone tells you to calm down - as if that's ever helpful!

Rude customer service

'Unexpected item in bagging area'

People who are tight with money

Judgemental / unhelpful health visitors

'Rod for your own back'

Wow this thread has really got me started!

JaneJeffer · 16/05/2019 10:31

Dandelions in my grass
Please don't be annoyed at them. They're very important for the bees.

dustarr73 · 16/05/2019 15:31

People at the coffee machine in a shop,who put their sugar and milk in.Rather than moving to the little counter.

Queue jumpers,especially if you are waiting on a bus.

Tigerlilly17 · 16/05/2019 16:01

Smack heads
Bad drivers
Obnoxious shitheads who park on my private property
Police ( they have no interest or powers anymore it seems and are as useless as a chocolate teapot)
Cyclists who do what they like on roads and don’t follow the Highway Code
Lazy colleagues

I could go on but I’d be here all day 🤣

HomeMadeMadness · 16/05/2019 16:04

God the people who come on Facebook donating sites with ridiculous demands e.g. "I want a like new bugaboo travel system, must be in excellent condition must deliver to X village. Will pay up to £10". Then get really rude when someone offers them something not up to their standards.

There's a give way sign in my village near the level crossing (which everyone is trying to sneak through before it shuts for 15 minutes). Loads of people just ignore it and drive right through as if they have right of way without even looking to see if the cars who actually have right of way are about to drive right into them. Not the end of the world but drives me mad.

Loo roll in public toilets that is on giant reels that are so heavy to pull round and the loo paper is so flimsy that one sheet of loo roll breaks off when you pull it and then you have to stick your hand up into the dispenser to try and find the end to pull again and another single sheet breaks off...😫

SneakyGremlins · 16/05/2019 16:12

@OkOkWhatsNext

It would however be lovely for those giant rolls to be sold in Aldi Grin I'd only have to buy toilet paper twice a year!

outvoid · 16/05/2019 16:13

People who don’t indicate
Impatient drivers who tail-gate or overtake so they can drive 50 in a 30 zone, speeding really fucks me off full stop
Cyclists
Dog shit on pavements
Selfish drivers who don’t stop at zebra crossings or just have the courtesy to let someone cross the road
Mum’s who walk at the pace of a snail outside the school so it takes forever to leave or even worse, the ones who just stop to gossip blocking the pavement for everyone else
Twee signs in the back of cars - ‘Little Prince/Princess on board’, fuck off

LyndzB · 16/05/2019 16:29

The mrs - hate the phrase. Does your wife not have a name or can you not say 'my wife'?

Mammatino · 16/05/2019 17:28

People who wash their cars in the evening with their stereos blasting.
People who see sunshine and instantly crank the stereo up so no one else can even have a window open.
People who say "my kiddies are my world", on Facebook, when quite frankly everyone knows that isn't the case.
Hun. Babes.
People ripping off the benefits system (100%not a dig at genuine people who qualify) and spend it all on drink/drugs, whilst their kids are in holey shoes and no coats.
People who call benefits "wages".

BornInGlasgow · 16/05/2019 18:21

I forgot one.

WEDDING LISTS

Congratulations Alex and Rachel, but people are paying enough for an outfit, childcare, transportation and overpriced drinks to attend your special day. So if you want that John Lewis kettle go out and buy it yourself you fucking cheeky bastards.

Coolegary1 · 16/05/2019 18:37

Queue jumpers, unless you are disabled I will and have shamed you to go back to where you should be.

Lights go green, car in front doesn't keep the flow and takes off after a minute. Very annoying when the lights change according to sensors on the road , so if you don't keep with the flow or keep with the pack the lights change. Worse if you see the slow fuckers get through and you're caught on the red light.
Kids banging drums, tin whistle or recorder. I will remove it if it's not practice but just for fun.
Any toys with jingles playing.
Someone answering a non urgent phone call or text while visiting me or meeting up. Never do this myself and I turn tv off when someone arrives for a visit.
Do a clothes wash, coz you have to bring in the clothes off the line to make space, fold them, then clear previous clothes in hot press to make room for them and then you have to put away the cleared hot press clothes to the drawers.
Kids shoes everywhere.
Going out the door , on my way I have to put hairbrush that DD left on hall table away, along with odd scarf on back of a chair, navigate toys on the floor, put jam back in the press, return used cups to the sink , all because I glanced about before I left.
The word literally being used out of context.
Slow talkers that bore the shite out of me.
Small talk longer than a minute.
People who are so anal about their kids routine that they avoid even the slightest inconvenience because lo needs his 2.34pm banana before naptime.
Being stuck with boring partners of dh friends on holidays.
Someone who communicates irritations through giving digs instead of saying out what they mean.
Narcissistic people, some in my family and I love to expose them on one of their lies.
People who worry what the neighbors think.
Influencers ... virtual shite talkers.
Selfies.

HomeMadeMadness · 16/05/2019 19:08

@Mammatino

Oh my god yes. People blasting their bloody music in public in general gives me the rage. Why can't you just sit on the beach or walk through the park and enjoy the natural sounds instead of inflicting your shitty taste on everyone within a 100m radius.

AftonGlen · 16/05/2019 19:10

At the train station in the morning when people who are together queue side by side at the barriers thus distorting where the queue is and standing in the way of barriers that could be used. Then when you pass them to go through said unused barrier they look at you like you've just landed from outer space.

Hiddenaspie1973 · 16/05/2019 19:21

High school parents evening where families treat it like an outing. Bringing the entire tribe and allowing them to behave as if theyre at soft play. Ghastly.
Ditto teachers running nearly an hour late. Wtf bother doing appointment slots? Oh, and getting our kids to book our times while they're at school. Resulting in many parents arriving late and delaying everyone else 🙄🙄🙄🙄

StillCoughingandLaughing · 16/05/2019 19:24

People who watch one ‘Is Sugar Killing You?’ documentary and are suddenly dietary experts. A woman at work confidently told me bananas are the worst thing you can possibly eat, and also stated ‘apples kill me. They ACTUALLY kill me’. Well no, they don’t ACTUALLY kill you, because if they did you’d be dead and I wouldn’t be having this stupid fucking conversation.

Anyone who endlessly interferes under the guise of ‘trying to help’ or ‘showing an interest’. Fuck off you nosey twat!

AnAC12UCOinanOCG · 16/05/2019 20:05

Cyclists.

brainstormer123 · 16/05/2019 20:17

Posters on the What I Eat in a Day threads that go into really poncy pathetic details of tenderstem broccoli with handpicked organic crushed new potatoes and hand reared chicken breasts. Why all the smug detail? Why not just chicken, mash and veg? Fuck off with your organic bullshit, you're no better than anyone eating a chicken Kiev
