Middle lane hoggers Angry

FleasAndKeef · 16/09/2020 20:05

People walking their dogs on the street with no lead!!

It annoys my sensible lead-abiding dog too

Wavingwhiledrowning · 16/09/2020 20:07

It really doesn't affect me one jot, but EVERY SINGLE TIME DH washes his hands, he washes his watch. And then dries it separately. For some reason it makes me irrationally angry. I have to leave the room.

Also people who do a little right hand swerve before turning left in a car. I get it if you're trying to turn onto a driveway, but it's really not necessary around a normal corner.

More recently... Heavy breathers on skype/Teams calls at work. Just mute your bloody microphone!! Gah!

The phrases ‘we’re in the middle of a global pandemic’ or ‘there’s a Global. Pandemic. On.’

The phrase ‘fast forward to now’ when telling a story. Used all the time on MN and so irritating.

@Gancanny - Regardless of the thread title, it doesn't give people license to post shitty things that they know will upset other people.

You could say the same about at least 75% of the posts on this thread. Smokers (tick), mask wearers (tick), dog owners (tick), babies with ears pierced (tick), people with poor grammar (tick), teenagers (tick) etc etc

gretagreengrapes · 16/09/2020 20:12

People pronouncing ask as aks. Really, really irritates me!

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 16/09/2020 20:15

Noisy snorting smacky kissing in films.
Car engine idling (although I very much regard that as my business, as it's helping to fuck up a planet I happen to live on)
'Chaps and chapesses '
People who want to see me on Skype calls (no, I have chocolate round my mouth and I haven't brushed my hair in three days.)

😂😂😂 chicchicchiclana
The Justine Green thing has irritated the life out of me for ages.

justanotherremainer · 16/09/2020 20:21

Bad spelling
Weird eyebrows
Plastic surgery
Aggressive driving
Slow driving
People who leave dogs at home all day
Baby showers / gender reveal parties

There’s more

Sanitisethat · 16/09/2020 20:21

Ooh I’ve got another one - baby clothes with any kind of slogan but specifically one which refers to the act of its conception. Things like ‘Mummy only wanted a back rub!’ / ‘I’m proof that my daddy doesn’t shoot blanks’ / ‘Daddy’s Little Squirt’. I honestly consider them tantamount to child abuse.

@MintyMabel
I discovered Billy shoes for my son, who also wears splints. Would highly recommend them. Got them at Special Kids Company online :)

People that attempt to discredit someone by correcting their spelling or grammar.

rosecakequeen · 16/09/2020 20:43

Snowflakes that think everything posted online is a personal attack on their beliefs. Why do they care what someone else thinks?

WokesFromHome · 16/09/2020 20:45

Or just Snowflakes in general.

Sorryusernamealreadyexists · 16/09/2020 20:46

Kids with beer bellies Hmm

Gancanny · 16/09/2020 20:46

People who use the word 'snowflakes' about people they disagree with as if it somehow makes them right and the other people wrong.

People who use the phrase 'Karen'. Its just another way of telling women to sit down and shut up.

Bawdrip · 16/09/2020 20:53

Balloon releases
Chinese lanterns
People who give their kids coke instead of water
People who drink litres of coke daily and then say "my anxiety is playing up". No fucking shit with the amount of caffeine you just drank
People who give money to the beggar I see every day who has a smartphone, lives in a flat and wears trainers that are more expensive than any item I own. He is a junkie and earns hundreds a day and pays no taxes so earns more than me
People that breed from their pets to make money

Ameanstreakamilewide · 16/09/2020 20:54

@ThighthighOfthigh

People who look hatchet faced inside their own car. That makes me so angry, I always mutter 'hatchet face' under my breath to teach them a lesson.
That's excellent! 😂
SideAfries · 16/09/2020 20:55

This has actually turned out to be a fucking horrible thread. 🤮

OchonAgusOchonO · 16/09/2020 21:01

@ScarMatty

People like *@mamanrose* who clearly has a very sad little life. But I guess people like that don't necessarily annoy me, I just feel bad that they think in such a way; what a horrible life to live.
God, but you're nasty. And then pretending you feel bad for her. Pathetic really.

Do such things really exist?
Inappropriatefemale · 16/09/2020 21:03

People that overhear conversations on public transport and put their 2 pence in because they heard something they don’t agree with! It boils my blood!Angry

Nameandgamechange123 · 16/09/2020 21:03

People who can't walk in their high heels and don't suit them anyway. Why go through the agony?

toomanyspiderplants · 16/09/2020 21:04

@DimidDavilby

People who don’t give you a little wave in the car to say thanks.

I raise you, people who wave by lifting one imperial finger off the steering wheel as if they are much too important to wave properly. I'd rather they didn't wave at all.

Wankers.

My DH does that. It annoys me so I have to do an exaggerated wave for him. I think we are both pathetic
