Things that annoy you that are none of your business

[bonsaiii]

Little girls dressed head to toe in insipid pink

Price stickers on the bottom of people's shoes that you can spot as they walk. However well put together they are, their look is ruined for me! It's the lack of attention to detail that does my head in. Also agree with pp re tail-flaps on coats not unpicked. Coat just hangs wrong.

Those pictures with a minion and then words like 'I say it how it is!' Or 'you can't choose your family but you can choose who to push out a window'. Minions memes make my blood run cold 🥶

Manic audience applause when a singer on talent show sings a note that is long

Surely this pales in to comparison to people cheering each lottery ball as it was drawn, back when it was on TV. (Or, is it still on TV....?)

Mine would be the people responding to this post with things that annoy them that really are their business.

People who take time to write in to OFCOM about shows they're offended by.

people who have the big light on with curtains/blinds open

women who defend abusive men

(Pre-Covid) When two people who know each other choose to have a row each on a busy bus, and then hold lengthy conversation at a 45 degree angle. It's awkward for whoever has to sit next to them. Sit together!

@Notreallyawaitress I spotted this on my local Chinese's menu last night..

People who ask children they do not even know, why are you not at school.

People looking at their phones while walking, when you are trying to stay a safe distance away. Don't they realise how slowly they are moving?

Let their dog sit on cafe chairs and even have its face up at the table as
though about to eat something. Ugh!

Late on during my wedding, I was sitting with my feet on a footstool and someone pointed the label and how cheap I was because I’d only paid a tenner for the ballet type pumps (I’d bought them for putting on when my feet hurt). I reminded him I’d just bought dinner for 100 people and if he wanted to reimburse me I’d buy more expensive shoes.

I have a colleague? Who puts a question mark after every sentence? Whether it's a question or not? Drives me batshit?

@sapnupuas they're clearly shagging!

People with backpacks who turn and whack you (well, I guess that IS my business!)

My (male) neighbour who wears shorts outside even when it's almost freezing.

Men who wear marl grey sweatpants.

My neighbours using their rubbish bin and recycling bin interchangeably. I know this because when the bins are overflowing you can see what is sticking out - often cardboard boxes from the rubbish bins and nappies from the recycling bin.

Children in shopping trolleys what? Why?!

When people don't spell my name right when I've literally just written it to them in an email/message. Happens ALL the time and it infuriates me. I have a bog standard name which admittedly can be spelt a couple of different ways - think Carl/Karl - but if it's right there on your screen how oh how can you get it wrong?!

My SIL has been spelling my name incorrectly for over 20 years. It’s still not Alyson.

It’s there on the bottom of every text I send her. Every single bloody text.

And yet she gets upset when people call her teenage sons James and Thomas “Jamie and Tom”. Even though that’s the names they use themselves.

The shrieks of a dying animal in TK Maxx, which inevitably turn out to emanate from a 5 yr old in a pushchair by the Xmas teabags.

“But this is everyone’s business. I have to reverse out of my driveway several times a day over a pavement that is very busy with children coming and going to school on scooter - usually 100m ahead of their parents. It’s criminally unsafe parenting but very, very common.“

It’s poor parenting, but the onus for safety is always on drivers. Kids wont always behave safely around roads, even when they’re 12/13 etc. Motorists kill nearly 500 pedestrians every year in the U.K.

Caked on full-face makeup

@Springxchicken what's a gypsy haircut?

Unflushed public toilets & drips on toilet seats and most of the above as luckily (it seems) I don't know Carl or Deborah.

Those pictures with a minion and then words like 'I say it how it is!' Or 'you can't choose your family but you can choose who to push out a window'. Minions memes make my blood run cold 🥶

When those memes first became popular, I hadn't seen the Despicable Me movies, so I assumed the Minions were some race of really prickly, sarcastic creatures. Turns out they just make belching noises and giggle a lot. Who the hell thought to put these quotes next to them?

My pettiest annoyance is people who wear band t-shirts who don't actually like the band. How dare my 12 year old niece wear a Nirvana shirt!

Clementine spot on ... also #livingmybestlife and #blessed but #makingmemories is excruciatingly annoying

My neighbour sitting in her garden having a conversation with her children, who are in the house........both shouting

• People who describe themselves as ‘mad’ or ‘crazy’
• Putting school ages children in pushchairs (unless needed for a disability or something but this is not always the case)
• my neighbour buying drugs outside my window every day
• People spouting their anti-mask views on SM
• People who wean early and think their child really needed to because they are so big and hungry
• someone who recently described herself to me as a ‘full time wife and mum’ after quitting her job.
