To ask what little everyday things irritate the hell out of you?

[Crumpetsforthequeen]

Inspired by the fact that once again I've gone to make myself a much needed cuppa, already poured the water in only to find some asshole (DH) has put the milk back in the fridge with about 10mm worth of milk left. Why not just drink the tiny bit??? Why put it back??

Obviously a light-hearted thread or shall I leave the monster?

People who start their answers in conversations (or indeed written posts) with "So ..."

People sat in their cars with the engine running.

This! I started a thread about this in the past and was slated massively for being unreasonable because I was concerned about the environment - how times have changed in the past few years (I hope!)

We have a very small bathroom with a little bin right opposite the toilet...

DH finishes a toilet roll and proceeds to put the toilet roll cardboard on the floor???

He doesn't even have to get off the toilet to put it in the bin when he's finished he could just reach it's arms length

Every other day they're on the floor, near the bin. Idk why!

When you shoot into an empty mini-Sainsbury's, grab a pint of milk, turn round and 11 humans have manifested at the till.

My DH in the bathroom Part 2...

My hair is about 12" long & strands fall into the sink. DH carefully gathers up any strands he finds & leaves them folded/twirled/draped at the edge of the sink. WHY WHY WHY? After all that effort, why not take them out of the sink & put them in the bin? No. Instead they're left as (it seems to me) a mute reproach at the top of the sink.

People who end a question with “yes”

My number one pet peeve is drivers and cyclists who don't stop at pedestrian crossings when someone is trying to get across with the green light in their favour. And especially people who are rude and impatient because pedestrians aren't quick enough, or worse, because they can't easily manoeuvre their way around a cyclist in motion (in such cases, it's usually a cyclist - and yes, I know that cyclists are very often themselves badly treated by drivers). I'm not defending jaywalkers, or the sort of clueless pedestrians who stop to chat while crossing the road; but I am speaking as someone with very mild disabilities, which can be mistaken by the impatient for just dawdling.

While I don't demand that people take their shoes off in my home if they haven't been anywhere dirty and have wiped their feet, I'm not a fan of those who march through my home with dirty shoes, not even bothering to wipe them beforehand.

One phrase that REALLY annoys me is the comment that some people like to make if others seems slightly unwell, and especially if they lose their voice: 'Oh well, at least it must get you lots of sympathy!' I have always hated this, and especially since a friend went through a scare about possible throat cancer when he lost his voice for several weeks (luckily he was found to be fine).

People who use excessive management-speak and especially the phrase 'We must think outside the box!' That phrase belongs IN a box!

"Hey, girls!" In a room or forum of women. Grr.

DH coming through front door with muddy work boots, walking through hall, detour through kitchen, traipses through conservatory to the back door.... then takes boots off! Glances back and says oh no look at the mud.... JUST TAKE THEM OFF AT THE FRONT DOOR!! Drives me nuts

Women under valuing themselves!!

When customer service people overuse yourself
"Hi I'm Custo Merservice how can I help yourself today...can I just take an account number from yourself... yes I can sort that out for yourself, now is there anything else I can do for yourself today...no...well take care of yourself and have yourself a nice day"

I always find the empty loo rolls hiding underneath the bath or towel shelves. When I accused my teenager he denied it was him and said "What am I? A kitten?"

At the moment, my 6 year old DS
But usually the recycling bin over flowing as it's in the living room by the kitchen door as there's no room in the kitchen as I have a small house

Giving someone a lift then they leave rubbish in my car

Dirty pots left on top of the dishwasher

Whistles in party bags

Using the phrase 'low hanging fruit' in meetings

My downstairs neighbours slam the door like they’re being paid for it.

What a cracking turn of phrase, I'm modifying that and using it tomorrow

Any rattling plate - put back in a cupboard or on a table that vibrates and rattles as it settles - EUGH.......god it irritates

People that still are indicating right as they come off a roundabout! Drives me potty.

Also people that cut the corner as they turn right into a road and almost clip the front of your car.

Dp using tsp after tsp after tsp... i have counted 10 tsp in sink in one morning. Why??
Dp also does same with cups and plates. Lazy fucker. Rinse and reuse like the rest of us!
Dickheads taking up 2 spaces in carparks. Fuck off with your merc. Knobheads. They are worse than than the ones who just cant park straight.
Ds always leaves the lid off drink bottles.
People who are poking and rummaging through their purse for their 20 odd fucking vouchers and loose change to pay for their stuff at checkouts.
Hearing the same 3 things everytime i get stopped with the twins - 'are they twins? Are they identical? You have your hands full!'

@olivehater
Fuck yesssssssss!!!! God i hate drivers who do that. They get the death stare for that.

Also drivers who sit right on your bumper when theres plenty of road to go round.

Uncooperative inanimate objects.

You're a vacuum cord, you can't possibly have any good reason to insist on being wrapped round a chair leg when I am trying to move the vacuum, you're just being awkward. Ditto the hosepipe. Things that slip from where I've put them. Same with other objects that won't just do what I want, the objectionable wankers.

Slow, self absorbed people that pp have mentioned, fucking around in their bags for 10 minutes when they need to pay as though it's a surprise. Stopping dead in doorways etc to fuck around on phones.

Drivers that can't park. If you need to do several manoeuvres to get in a space, go and practice somewhere quiet, and meanwhile either park further away where you aren't holding everyone up or walk. More than several manoeuvres and you shouldn't be allowed to ever park in public.

People who write ‘meh’ in supercilious smug posts in answer to someone in real difficulty. Just read one and I am fuming. FUMING.

@mindproject you have to print something from royal mail called an opt out form and send it to them

People who tap the pedestrian crossing button on a clearly empty road, then look, see no cars and cross. (I'm another pedestrian here, but it still annoys me)

People who tap the ped crossing button that is already lit up and people are standing there waiting. Do you think we don't understand how it works?

People who repeatedly jab the ped crossing button. When I am in charge that will delay the green man for every jab.

I have a serious issue with pedestrian crossings.

People who indicate when they are in left turn / right turn only lanes.

WE ALREADY KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING.
