What makes you scream inside? (slightly light-hearted)

[ThirdTimeUnlucky]

For me - DP cooks a decent meal then goes on and on about how good it was. I agree but then it escalates to 'aren't I a brilliant cook' or 'you've got to admit I'm great in the kitchen' etc, blah blah blah. Does my nut in. I cook all the time and am happy with a 'thank you, that was nice'. End of!
(((((scream)))))).
AIBU to silently scream and not heap on huge praise? I cook all the time and he cooks now and then, usually something a bit fancy, using every utensil in the house. Yeah it's nice but he's not going to get on Master Chef or anything. (((((still screaming))))
light hearted - I realise I'm being OTT
Anyone else agree or have any different silent scream issues?

DH not answering me gives me the rage. I’m not silent on the issue though.

I feel your pain. Apparently emptying the recycling bins is Nobel Prize worthy. I got so fed up I got a pound shop medal and gave it to him the next time.

iklboo - like your style

People who talk too much in a very one sided way give me the silent screams, especially when you eventually get a word in and they cut you off.

Teenagers and their Toast Sweat USE A PLATE YOU HORRORS.

Oh god, the not being listened to by DC I should let some of it go and I am a bit soft-spoken sometimes according to colleagues but agggh WHEN will I be able to just ask once for something???

My DM who ALWAYS has to have had a busier day than me.
She lives with DF and there's just the two of them ( not working due to health) however she moans about never having time to sit down and her day being so hectic.
Anything I say is dismissed. She asks what I've been doing and if I say housework and washing she'll say she has done more washing than I could possibly have done. Etc.

I've been laid up after an operation so DH has spent the last two weeks fully responsible for the housework, the cooking, and the laundry while I do my best impression of a 1950s husband from the comfort of the armchair, feet up, reading my books, dishing out serene smiles here and there. I know he's doing his best and he's only one person but oh my fucking God, the kitchen... nothing is put away. He made youngest some peanut butter toast two days ago and the jar has stayed on the bench. So has the jam. And the Nutella. He thought about making spaghetti bolognese yesterday so got some tons of chopper tomatoes out of the cupboard then changed his mind but the tomatoes are still on the bench. Blender came out the other day to make milkshakes, the jug part was washed afterwards and out back on the base unit but then left on the bench. Slow cook, used, washed, left on the bench. He's doing the dishes and throwing rubbish out so it's not dirty, just clutter everywhere. By this point I'm presuming the cupboards are entirely empty because everything that should be in them is out and I'm avoiding the kitchen so that I don't have to say something!

Men in lycra. Don't know why, just make me want to throw up a bit.

I admit to being a bit of an English Nazi ( did I just break Godwin’s Law?). I hate words being used incorrectly though. For eg., the misuse of the word icon as a sort of substitute for famous, eg. iconic sports ground. An icon is a religious image of a particular style, associated with Orthodox religions. Or a ‘a male’ or a female’. The male human is a a man, a human female is a woman. A NOUN people. Apologies to those who don’t identify as either.

@iklboo - love it!

My mum cooking a really acceptable meal or baking a very tasty cake and going on about the meal not being very "much" or the cake being too dry or too moist. Grrr.

I am a grammar pedant too. I don't like "impact" being used as a verb.

I also don't like people saying they are excited "for" something when they mean they are excited about it, or looking forward to it. But even the BBC is using it now. Social media speak, yuck. You are excited about a thing and for a person.

The habit of some posters and occaisionally in real life of basically negating anything and everything you have said because it's not the same for 100% of people, by which they mean just their fraction of a percent anyway. Obviously we all live the same homogenous lives.

Abit and alot instead of a bit and a lot. People using disinterested instead of uninterested.

Dh asking me a question then not listening to the answer, so he has to ask the same bloody question 10 minutes later - and even then it is 50:50 at best that he will listen to the answer that bloody time.

DH filling the dish washer and not turning it on.
DH taking a thousand years to get ready to leave the house.
DH leaving things in the way of doors or on the stairs.
DD saying 'Mummy? Did you know...' on average 120 times an hour.

Gosh so many, here's a few:
People talking on their mobiles in public transport for the whole journey.
People eating in public transport.
Men sat with their legs that far apart, that they get my space.
Male youth walking with a hand in their pants.

“Myself”, “yourself”, etc.

People saying they have anxiety or suffer from anxiety, when they're just feeling anxious about a certain thing.

It seems to be everywhere now, like a fashionable buzzword.

People who stop to chat in the middle of the pavement, leaving me no room to get past. Also people who start to look for their wallet/purse when the total is announced at the till.
I am really not an impatient curmudgeon!

'I've emptied the bin for you' or comments to that effect.

Erm. We both live here, we both work and we supposedly equally share household chores, shopping etc - so why state you've done something for me specifically! I don't tell you every single thing I do in the house and I certainly don't expect your response to be as if it's some sort of treat that requires eternal praise and gratitude.

People who complain about the same thing over and over but do nothing to change the thing that they are complaining about. Along the same vein, people who ask for advice or my opinion on a particular situation that annoys/upsets them but actually don't want advice or an opinion but just want to moan. Having a moan is fair enough and I'm happy to listen to them as long as I don't have to keep repeating myself when they do not actually do anything change the situation they are moaning about.

I now just make statements like "oh, that sound so hard/difficult for you" or 'I'm sorry you're having to contend with/going through that".
'That' being the same situation that has been annoying/upsetting them for weeks/months/years.

A particular person in my life, who I love dearly, does this and once they asked me why I don't offer any advice/opinion any more. I had to explain to them that I do not want to be going over the same thing several times only to be listening to them moan about that same thing yet again a few days or a week later.

I fully understand there are ongoing situations that require different resolutions as they go on but this isn't the case with this person and I'm sick of saying the same thing over and over.

People who complain, but aren't prepared to explore solutions to their problem. They just want to moan and it annoys me because I'm a problem solver and I like to see people be happy and not have the problem that's bothering them.

Sat instead of sitting. “I was sat in my car” no love, “I was sitting in my car.”

It’s such bad grammar and so widespread.

Listening to one of my dogs drink water sends me into a misophonic rage.
It's this quiet lapping that interacts with my brain like nails down a fucking chalkboard.

Listening to anyone eat.
