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?

The sun, when it is low in the sky and I am driving into it and can't see ANYTHING. Even with sunglasses on. Gives me the absolute rage.

1- DH
Done

People making a noise when they yawn (you know, that 'Uhh, uhh, uhh' thing...) Just why???

Everything about the way my DH pulls curtains. (Think criss-crossed over each other at the edges and, where applicable, stuffed down behind the radiator... 'It helps keep the heat in the room...' ugh.)

The expression 'turn that frown upside down'. Should be against the law, as should the word 'holibobs', but don't get me on to words.

The way pre-packaged portions of food always seem to contain exactly the wrong amount, i.e. you need 1.5 packs to feed 2 people.

'You're' misspelled as 'your'.

People in supermarkets who start piling their stuff onto the conveyor belt behind you before you've finished putting yours on. What's the hurry? I MIGHT sometimes, very casually and for my own amusement, spread my shopping out to make it look as though I've run out of space

mine has a habit of leaving rolled up chocolate wrappers on the floor and not in the bin. I've told him I'm collecting them to ram down his throat.

Dh making the loudest possible noise when snaking on crisps/nuts/dry cereal that is still in the packet. He then rolls his eyes if I get him a bowl and tell him to put the food in that. This is when we are watching TV, he then asks 'what happened?' I don't know, I can't bloody hear! 🙄
Washing up jenga, clean or dirty, someone loves playing this game in the house, let's see which is first to topple...
Dh 'rinsing' the mugs, to be placed on the draining board, when I look, they have tea stains in them.
Ds always uses a whole roll of toilet paper, and leaves it empty on the holder.
Dd never flushes the toilet.
Dh opens a cupboard/drawer whilst I'm standing there, often for me to move and hurt myself, ffs just wait till I'm out of the way.
People leaving the recliners in a laid back position.
Dh turns the tumble dryer off mid cycle, not taking the clothes out, I forget and then damp smelly clothes.

People in supermarkets who start piling their stuff onto the conveyor belt behind you before you've finished putting yours on.

Also/opposite(?), people who won't put their shopping down if the dividers have run out, even if there is a massive gap. As if their potatoes are in fact rare diamonds that may get stolen by the previous customer.

And people who put coins down on to the surface of the checkout, rather than being civil human beings and passing it to the cashier who is politely waiting for it. I worked in Tesco as a teen (aeons ago when cash/coins were used more often!) and I would do the same with their change so they'd know what it was like to have to scrabble round to pick flat coins off a flat surface, while I sat and watched them.

Drivers who don't indicate before pulling over or turning off. Just randomly slow down or hover.
Just bloody indicate and then we'll all know what you're doing. It's giving me rage just typing it.
Live abroad. It's obv a cultural thing here...

HappyandGlorious do you live in Australia?

It's a bloody disease here.

Oh, and driving round corners v-e-r-y- slowly, even when the view is clear.

Not so much now, but people who use veg/carrier bags for single items, especially if that item already comes in a peel, like bananas.

Or bags of dog food or loo roll that come with their own carry handle.

I have seen people buy a single banana they have carefully placed in a veg bag, walk out the shop then take it out of the bag and eat it

People who say 'pacifically' in stead of 'specifically'.

The fb attention whores checking into a&e and not saying why. Fuck off.

Ds leaving his clothes all over his bedroom floor so i never know whats clean or dirty. I dont fucking want to have sniff or check your pants for skid marks. You know where laundry basket is.

Dp dumping all his clean clothes that i leave on bed for him to put away on the floor in front of wardrobe.

People listening to music with headphones too loudly. They are for you to listen not the rest of us.

When i worked in a hair salon little kids putting their grubby hands all over the mirrors gave me the rage.

Supermarket shelves that are too high. Wtf would they put it so high you cant reach the stuff? Theres never anyone about tall enough to do it for you.

Using a bread knife then putting it back in the drawer unwashed encouraging crumbs all over the drawer(DH).

Putting the wet, scrunched up teatowel in a ball on the side or on top of the radiator, not hanging it on the radiator bar to dry.
Putting washing up next to the sink which has water and suds in the washing up bowl rather than just washing it.
Yes, DS, I'm looking at you.

The constant fighting of my dc. My youngest is like jeckle and hyde.

@ohtherewearethen

I hate it when people use their own knife for the butter which then ends up with crumbs of food in it... I always put a butter knife out with the butter - but there are still heathens who don't use it!

People who walk around with their fucking coat hood turned inside out

I hate it when shop assistants hand you your change with the note underneath it all. All in one pile.
Invariably the change just slides off and it's a pita getting it back in your purse.
Gives me the fucking rage and if pre menstrual, I WILL comment!!

‘Thank you for waiting’ said endlessly at checkouts (yes, I know they’re told to, I’m not blaming them). I just want to say every time, ‘Well, I didn’t have much choice, did I, unless I wanted to leave my shopping and walk out!’

Now, if they just said, ‘Sorry to keep you waiting,’ instead.....

"Can I do anything else for yourself today" from call centre people.

Well yes sure you can, my car needs a wash, the dog needs to go to the groomer and I need to book the window cleaner. But you didn't mean it did you, it's just something you say to close the call in a blatantly fake and pointless way.

Leaving loo rolls to gather dust in the bathroom instead of just putting them in the recycling

Also people who block the way to a seat they have no intention of sitting in.

I'm a train user, so different, but there are two reasons I do this. Either:

1. The seat on the inside is reserved
2. I'm getting off at the next stop and don't want to make the person next to me get up to let me out, so am waiting for someone who wants the inside seat and will move to let you in.

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

My driving instructor taught me that all road users are idiots and so I treat them as such. The pedestrian opposite may not have twigged that l'll be going left, particularly as they can't see the road markings.

@BuzzShitbagBobbly but what about the customers who have more than one issue they need to talk to the employee about?

I always closed with that line when I worked in retail, and half the time the person replied with 'oh, actually, yes...'. Not the same as a call centre but I imagine they get those customers too

I agree fake concern is annoying though!

My team at work copying me into emails where they have used should of. Even though I rather sensitively and politely nudged them that it's "should have". And one of them has an English language degree.

I also have a DH who ticks the curtains behind the radiator.

The bloody cat climbing said curtains again when I was just about convinced she had grown out of it and I was about to buy new ones.

People not closing bloody kitchen cupboards! Honestly it's like that scene out of the sixth sense in my kitchen on an evening!

DH hums as he is eating. Fuck knows why.

My teenagers bedroom.

My teenager.

DH leaves the milk out on the bench every. Single. Day.

He also leaves his wet towel scrunched on the floor of the bathroom/landing most days. Along with boxers & socks.
