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?

Dripping tap
We are having new worktop, sink and tap fitted next month
The current tap started dripping 2 wks ago....its sending me insane.
It has the new fangled ceramic cartridges....which I found out later are next to impossible to replace as there is no standardised size, each tap has its own version so I'm told. It started drippins around 4-5yrs ago and the plumber fitted replacements but warned the next time the tap would probably break trying to remove...hence we've decided to give the kitchen a mini overhaul at the sametime.

P.S Anyone up on granite sinks..thats whats coming (I Chose it ) partner is convinced its a bad idea and will not be as easy to live with as stainless

DH taking the toilet roll off the holder every time he uses it and placing it either on top of the cistern or perching on the adjacent radiator.

Oh God yes, this. And now DS has started doing it too. I sit for a wee and have to struggle to turn around to find the loo roll behind me. No easy feat with arthritis in my neck and shoulders

Sounds trivial but when a fingernail breaks and the edge is rough and catches on everything

Slow walkers.

Many many things my DH does that have already been mentioned; cutlery thrown in the sink, toilet roll left in odd places, pants left on the laundry bin lid, putting almost empty packets back rather than finishing/replacing them. Loading the dishwasher but not switching it on.

Catching my sleeve on the door handle and being dragged back by the bastard thing.
The butter knife used in the marmalade jar. It makes it all snotty.
DH not shutting the bathroom door when the window is open so it starts banging.
I could quite honestly gurott him when he does this the swine

• Pedestrians who cut across a junction diagonally IYKWIM, instead of crossing two zebras. Fuckers.
• People who don’t rinse the soap off dishes/cutlery. Fuckers.
• People who start the washing machine for literally 1 item. Fuckers.
• MNers who write I didn’t want to read and run. Yes we realised this as now you are obviously heavily involved with writing an answer.

Leaving the empty cardboard tube when there are new toilet rolls in the holder and all you need to do is swap them and put the cardboard in the recycling

My DH does this and my DS has started to - but the single thing that annoys me the most about my lovely DH is that he always and I mean always puts all his worn clothes on top of the wash basket - never in it or on the floor but piled up on the top - drives me insane

@ifIwerenotanandroid
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.

That's exactly what it is. If he were on this thread, no doubt he'd be mentioning his constantly having to unbung the plughole, because evidently you never do it and it's your hair.

People sitting in vehicles with the engine running.
Yes this! I once saw a guy sitting in a big 4x4 type car with his engine running outside sainsbury's. I went inside and did a full weeks shop, came out and he was still sat there with the engine running- I must have been nearly an hour! It makes me so cross at the lack of care for the environment, for pedestrians and for your own wallet!

Incidentally he was also parked in a parent and child space.

New DP, we spend time at each others houses. Starting to notice little things - doesn't close the toothpaste lid, squeezes the tube in the middle so I have to redistribute the paste every morning to use it. Gets multiple glasses out to drink from. Stacks things in the sink from small to large instead of large to small so you have to restack the whole sink. Leaves muddy footprints everywhere!
Red flags?

How do they do that 😂

People allowing their ten year old dd to lick the holes of the salt shaker in a (family) restaurant then just putting it back down. 🤮

Someone putting used bowl and cup on the work surface above the dishwasher. Wtf? Put it IN the dishwasher!

Same someone leaving 6 empty toilet rolls next to the new one then claiming he knew I was ‘testing him’. He wasn’t wrong.

I’ll be back when I’ve thought of more!

DH leaving things "to soak" which means putting water in and leaving it on the side because it's easier than actually washing up or because it won't fit in the dishwasher.

I don't mind if something is burnt on but a non stick pan which has only had soup in doesnt need to "soak".

My cat has suddenly taken to climbing onto the kitchen worktops and sitting smugly looking around. She is six, and has never done this before. She is also very hairy, so my non-stop floor sweeping regime now includes lifting her down, a stern NO, then wiping the worktops. She stole a load of bloody ham off the chopping board the other day too.

My DP uses every single utensil in the entire kitchen to cook, but doesn’t put things in the dishwasher as he goes. He is an excellent cook, but it drives me insane.

My colleague often asks if she can “borrow a tissue” from the box I keep on my desk. When I need a tissue she has usually finished them. They cost about £1, so it’s not the money, but ARGGHH.

On toilet roll, we have a wicker basket thing at the side of the loo with spare rolls, tampons, and bathroom cleaning spray. My DP always changes the roll, puts the tube in the recycling, but believes the replacement rolls appear in the basket by magic rather than go to the hall cupboard for one. I have IBS and like a good stock of spares to hand!

Both of my young adult DC, who are generally pretty good at behaving like functional humans are utterly incapable of putting food packaging into the bin. DS has just had one of those little microwave pizza snack things, and once again left the pack on the side, next to the bloody bin!

When the liquid soap has almost run out, DH always puts water into the bottle to get the last few drops out. It means that when you squirt it, the diluted liquid comes out faster and sprays all over you. And there’s no need, as there’s a refill packet of soap in the cupboard, it just takes slightly longer to refill the whole bottle than add a bit of water. Also, while we’re on it, walking past the coat pegs by the door and dumping the kids’ coats at the bottom of the stairs. So I can’t get up or down the stairs without moving them first, to the coat pegs which you WALKED PAST to get the coats to where they are now...pah! Apparently it was because he is always holding other things, but so, generally, am I, and I still manage to hang the bloody coats up at some point before moving on to the next thing.

People who get odd the bus or escalator and stop dead there.

People who get on the bus and stand in the narrowest part of the fucking aisle. What is wrong with you? Also people who block the way to a seat they have no intention of sitting in.

People who sit on one priority seat AND PUT THEIR FUCKING SHOPPING ON THE ONE NEXT TO THEM. I have been known to say sweetly 'Is your bag disabled? Because I am and I'd like to sit down.'

I'm loving these answers! Thank you all for making my night

DH opens bottles of beer by opening the drawer that the bottle opener is in and popping off the tops and leaving them in the drawer. Gives me the rage.

Leaving the kitchen bin lid up, oh and the food recycling bin lid up - why....it's no hard to close the bloody lid

Visitors who throw the if tea bags in the sink

Why? Just why? I then have to fish them out with my hands and throw them in the bin.

I have tried to educate MIL, but she thinks tea bags belong in the sink, then you wash up all over them until one of them disintegrate abd leaves tea leaves all over the sink. That is how she does if. As does FIL and SIL and BIL

But WHY?????

My colleague often asks if she can “borrow a tissue” from the box I keep on my desk.

Borrow, as in she’ll give it back once she’s finished with it?! I’d be teaching her the verb ‘to have’ pdq.

People not indicating at roundabouts/junctions. I’ll just wait like a text when I could have gone, shall I? Shouted it twice today, so bloody annoying!

A mate corners me at our hobby and just MOANS, all the time, then sends me multiple texts also moaning at the crack of dawn. I’m on holiday, sod off and stop moaning, it’s getting me down (says she, moaning on a mn thread!)

The fact my children put empty wrappers and cartons by the bin but not in the bin!

the sound of someone eating food with their mouth open makes me wonder if im capable of murder

People who feel the need to inform me around this time that Easter is early/late this year. It's always exactly when I expected it to be.

People who ask me if I am "ready for Christmas". I say no, it must be postponed this year.

People who text me "hope your ok". It's meant nicely, I know, and I am ungrateful.

Part of the word "alcohol" being stolen to indicate an addiction, e.g. workaholic. No logic or consistency.

Sniffers and people who hang poo bags on trees
