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?

Being asked if I want "regular or large" when ordering a coffee. I absolutely HATE Americanisms like that (so many have crept into the English language). I always say "a normal one please". Same with fries. What happened to chips? We don't ask for "fish and fries", we ask for fish and chips! Aaaaaagh.

The husband for reasons best known to himself, always leaves one square of clean loo roll on the bathroom windowsill. Why? For what purpose?
The man who every half an hour, morning, noon and night, walks past my house with his dog. Why? He's no sooner got home, taken his coat and the dogs lead off before he's back again. Just take the poor thing for a proper walk before you wear a bloody groove in the pavement!!
Literally every time I look out of my window, he's going past again!
Come evening and his bloody missus ambles along with him.

People who stand in the way, usually in supermarkets, and then jump about 10 feet and look offended when you politely say 'excuse me' to get by.
People who move my trolley without asking.
Shop assistants who take it upon themselves to pop a receipt/small item into my bag if it's on the counter while i pay. This one really winds me up and happens more than I expect.
Whistling.

My DH is seemingly unable to finish off a loo roll & put the cardboard middle in the recyc basket

^^This!!!! My DH leaves the offending finished (but with 2 sheets on it still) loo roll on the holder and will start just using a new roll and leave it on the bathroom shelf. As if the action of finishing a loo roll renders the loo roll holder itself utterly useless!

Leaving dirty tissues everywhere
Leaving half drunk cups of tea everywhere so they get knocked over
Breaking things and leaving them to be found at a later date rather than saying anything
Leaving shit and skid marks in the toilet
Covering the bedroom with talc
Constant criticism of everything from kids behaviour to time dinner is ready
Asking a question knowing full well you won't hear the answer as too far away
Getting cross when people raise voices as they've said the same thing 3 times with no response
I'm feeling better for letting all the irritation out and so glad we have the house back to ourselves tomorrow!!!!

Putting used bowl/plate on the side above this dishwasher rather than inside

Dh listing all tasks that he has done do you want a medal?

Asking stupid questions that if you actually engage brain you'd know the answer to yourself. dh where is ds socks? Me in the same bloody draw they've been in for the 3 years he has been alive!

Having to research, order and set up any phone/tablet/computer that any of my relatives need my qualifications, being under 35

Sainsbury's delivery adverts being put in my door you've decided no to deliver to my postcode because some of the houses in my postcode are down narrow lanes and you can't be bothered so stop trying to get us to do something we can't do!

Dp either slams cupboards shut or leaves them open. There is no middle ground. He also leaves empty bottles in the shower, for months (until I give in and remove them). He doesn't recycle properly - puts things in the recycling that shouldn't go there, puts things in the normal bin that should go in recycling. He has never tidied up beyond occasionally gathering up a pile of items and putting them in a carrier bag which he then puts somewhere out of sight. Cleaning means loading the dishwasher, dumping pots in a sink full of tepid soapy water and leaving them. If he puts on the washing machine, he rarely empties it. He definitely does not put away dry clothes unless I seperate out his and dump them on his bed. Once in the bluest of blue moons he will clean the bathroom sink with tissue and water. He will clean the toilet the same way.

This has just turned into a dp rant, and I've not even finished but I will stop.

Toast crumbs in the butter, or butter in the jam. Both make me feel 🤢

People who don't use zebra crossing and instead decide to cross the road 2-3 feet away but still expect you to stop for them

Drivers who think they own the pavement and park on all of it .Drivers who don’t indicate.

Wow this has been an education, I always wondered why my DP leaves cupboard doors open to the extent that I feel like an extra in ‘the sixth sense’ but now I see it’s an epidemic! Why do they do this. He also leaves shop doors open when we go in small local shops and it drives me crazy!

My DH moves the kettle out by about 1-2 inches every time he uses it and never pushes it back. There is nothing to gain from moving it ever so slightly towards himself.

DH taking the sleeved bib off the baby after dinner and turning the sleeves inside out so I have to put my hands in mess to turn them in the right way to wash them.

DH throwing things around the laundry basket.

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

Someone did that to me the other day when I had already started crossing the road, and then had the nerve to honk his horn. Bastard.

People on Mumsnet writing: 'I wakened' from a 'lay-in'

Along with "I was laying in bed", "I was laid in bed" and "I was sat in a restaurant".

People making unnecessary noise, i.e. whistling, humming, clicking fingers, etc.

"Ect".

Bastards who play videos on public transport with the sound on. I usually move and sit next to them and say 'Budge up, what are you watching'. Utter cunts. Buy some headphones!

The dog next door barking constantly.

DH and DS both find the idea of putting a used tissue in their pocket disgusting , so just leave them lying around.

Dishes piled in the sink. I then have to clear the sink before I wash up.

Pavement hoggers - so unaware they force you into the road.

Aggressive drivers in flash cars.

People knocking on my door selling stuff.

A certain family member who 'just calls for a chat' when they want something from me. They never actually just call for a chat.

Weak milky tea.

Ah, so many things. I'm turning into a grumpy old woman.

Virgin medias constant stream of junk mail (addressed to me personally) advertising their services. We don't have cable for miles around, you'd think their system would know that!

Putting diesel in the car. I drive about perilously close to running out because I hate doing it for some reason. Taught dd(17) on the pretense of it being a life skill, so now I take her and make her do it

Toddler walking speed. It's so fucking slow. And its raining/cold/windy/I need to pee. So, no, you don't need to stop and admire the pattern on the neighbours wall, or to look at that twig, or to detour to say hello to the doggy, just fucking walk! Takes forever to get to the corner shop, as she likes to walk along the "wall" which is about an inch tall and the same wide.

Anyone who puts cutlery in the sink. We own a bastard dishwasher, load the fucking thing!

People eating apples in the office. The crunching makes me want to disembowel them.

Cryptic social media posts, e.g. “So annoyed today” “Devastated...” knowing that people will pile in and ask what’s wrong. Also “U OK Hun?” shudder

My OH squeezes toothpaste from the middle of the tube too. No idea why but I have to redistribute it every day

I'm sat in the living room and all I can think about is DH's dirty shirt on top of the lid of the clothes hamper.

I now have an overwhelming urge to go check the butter for crumbs, another things that drives mad! I don't want other people's breakfast on mine thanks! DF used to do it, he loved burnt toast and I mean charcoal black so the butter was always a mess 🤢

"You should have left that and I'd have done the ..... (insert mundane task here)"
WELL YOU SHOULDVE DONE IT THEN RATHER THAN LEAVE IT FOR ME TO STARE AT ALL DAY

Jimmy Carr's laugh.
Whenever I hear it I think that assassination should be legalised.

DP squeezing every cushion into a tetrahedron trying to get comfortable.

DP cutting cake with a frigging butter knife. Use a sharp knife. Do not vandalise my lovely cakes.

People that use the strike through for whole sentences, I lose track, I don't have a clue, and quite frankly I don't care. The whole sense of your post is lost. Just find the nerve to say or type what you want to.

Having to put clean clothes away. I am a functioning adult but my inner Kevin The Teenager loathes this job.

When sorting out laundry, I purposefully add a washing cloth or two to the clothes basket to go upstairs so that the cloths can go into the bathroom and be ready for next time I want to give it a quick going over. DH always takes these cloths back downstairs to the kitchen so there are never any cloths in the bathroom.

Catching sleeves on door handles.

Banging my hips on things.

Sometimes I don't know what to do with my arms to get comfy in bed and they just seem in the way.

I have a lot of meetings at work that I have to order catering for. Why, just why can they not have jugs specifically for hot water and jugs for coffee? Everytime I make a cup of tea it tastes of weak coffee. As if being in a boring shite meeting isn't bad enough

That sniff thing where the offender draws snot to the back of their throat and swallows it. Girl on train yesterday - Yes it was me glaring at you for doing it
