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?

Could of instead of could have, ect instead of etc, pacific instead of specific, red sauce instead of tomato ketchup.

Men in lycra.
Yes. Road cyclists in peletons.

The word 'kids'

When my DH comes in from the garden and takes his shoes off and leaves them right in the middle of the doormat so when I want to go out of the door I have to move his shoes. Every. Single. Time.

Launch them down the path & back into the garden. Solves the problem and therapeutic.

people who dont shower, dont change clothes and smell terrible in public. their smell wafts away at least10 metres and stays.

And people who say 'I was gifted a whatever'. NOO - given, it's given or gave if you're the donor. Drives me insane.

The people that wear sandals with their toes hanging off the edge. Why oh why do they not buy a bigger bloody size.

When people insist in telling a very dull story, including every single tiny detail- including a backstory for every person/place mentioned and arguments with themselves about irrelevant details ('I think it was a Tuesday- no it must have been Monday because that's bin day- or was it Sunday when I put my bin out? No, actually it was Friday because I had pie for tea' - PLEASE MAKE IT STOP)

The question “Will you borrow me a pen?” Was rife throughout school. It still annoys me.

My DH saying “I’ve washed up for you” -well in what world was washing the pots used to make our tea purely my responsibility?

People who can’t formulate proper arguments and seem to think “well I think you’re wrong” with associated foot stamping will win the day.

People who leave the crap stitching on their coats and jackets, you know like when it’s a pleat down the back and it’s got crappy white stitching keeping it together. It’s supposed to keep the pleats neat when hanging in shops, it’s clearly not a bloody design feature. Gives me the rage!

Those ghastly 'sliders' that everyone is still wearing. They look so cheap and nasty and yet, stick the name Ted Baker or something on a bit of plastic and you can charge a fortune for them.

They look like the things we used to put on after swimming to walk back from the pool to save us from verrucas.

They pretty much are. The Emperor's New Flip Flops.

@Gancanny

I don't read mine out in that format but mine has double numbers so I give it as

1234 double-5 double-5 678

I completely understand why you'd do that and I was going to mention it usually involves double numbers but it just doesn't compute

when I get a text at work from my retired husband asking me to get pint of milk/loaf/butter or similar on my way home because apparently I like shopping.
Christ, you're retired and have all the time in the world to nip to Tesco ffs!

Children not listening / not answering / being so wrapped up in their screens they can’t even hear you - anything that means I have to keep repeating myself.

Kids replying “what” when their names are called for food, and they know they are being called for food because you prewarned them a couple of minutes ago, just to buy another couple of seconds before they have to move. I remember doing that to my Mum too though!

People (my DM) using their in-jokes that they have with other people in conversation with me - I’m not part of that joke / twee little phrase! I’m not going to use the cute expressions your sister used as a baby as I wasn’t even born.

“Myself”, “yourself” etc where it doesn’t belong - I agree

Also people using “and I” when it should be “and me”. “Elizabeth and I went to the shops” is correct, “Sarah bought a present for Elizabeth and I” is not correct! She bought it for Elizabeth and me!

There are some good ones on here though:

Phone numbers should ONLY EVER be 01234 567 890. It doesn’t matter if there are doubles. That’s the only way I can be read. I have a double in the middle of mine (where the 45 is in the example). It’s still separated up BY LAW

Also can’t abide sliders.

People who bring speakers to the beach/park/other public space and then play loud music so we all have to endure it. Fuck the fuck off. I want to hear waves lapping, children playing and seagulls overhead, not Camilla fucking Cabelo

DH not listening and then denying I've said anything.

Case in point - last night he used my fancy towel to mop up spilled milk I have previously asked him not to do this as it makes the towels smell like off milk.

He denied having been asked any such thing. Until DD 12 piped up from the living room: 'Mum did tell you that, I heard her".

I could have hugged her. At least he had the good grace to look ashamed.

@luckylavender I apologise for me and my kind . I live in a part of the world where 'kids' is commonly used to mean children and not baby goats.

I try to self edit on MN as I know some people hate it. I fail though .

People who can't be told.

I had someone insist the study was DH's room. "No, we both use it equally," she kept going on about it being DH's mancave. I corrected her again and she still ignored me and prattled on. Aaaaaaah!

Prince sodding Harry and his revolting, poncy, smug, overprivileged, designer stubbly, ugly face and his mental helf and his crocodile tears.

Did I mention that I don’t like Prince Harry?

Oh god I’ve got to add another......orthopaedic shoes. Just no.

Certain members of the public coming the other way who fail to thank me for remembering there is still a deadly virus around and therefore crossing the road. Happened several times this afternoon.
