Things that annoy you that are none of your business

[bonsaiii]

Little girls dressed head to toe in insipid pink

My neighbour's who selfishly park their two vehicles in a space big enough for four cars, they park in such a way that there's no room for anyone else.

i dont mind how you tell your own children about the gender just dont put it on sm or throw a party over it

Newsreaders reading the news in their “this is Very Important and you must be told of it” newsreading voice front of a giant TV screen. I just find the whole concept hilariously outdated in the internet age.

People who have their phones in their hands ALL THE TIME. Walking down the road, in the park, supermarket, collecting kids from school, on a bus. Phone in hand as though attached by superglue.

MLMs and the crap that people in theM peddle on Facebook. If it’s so legit and worthwhile and with no pressure selling then why you do you post 4 times a day begging people to sign up?

People who share 10 competitions a day on facebook in the hope of 'winning'and clogging up everyones newsfeed - they are now unfollowed!

People who tag their DP in daft memes on social media when they live together and could just show them.

'We're pregnant/ we're expecting'

Babies with ear piercings

Childrens menus at restaurants consisting of some sort of processed burger/nugget/sausage with chips. That's it

People who dont blow their nose and make slurping sounds when inhaling the snot back into their nose

People who let their small child cycle on ahead and stop at a busy road

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.

My neighbours closing their curtains randomly for an hour or so during the day (usually about now). Why? Why are they doing this?

We do this, we’re not shagging, It’s because the sun is too low and bright at a certain time of the day and usually I’m napping.

Neighbour across the road who parks on the street even though she has room on her drive. There's only about 5 parking spaces and 7 neighbours so it means they have to park in another steeet. It doesn't affect me because I have a drive but it really bugs me 🤨

OMG its probably really judgmental of me and probably one of the only things i do judge other parents/carers for But seeing young children and babies with really grubby faces and runny noses that have obviously been not wiped/cleaned for AGES - i mean get it all kids get slimy/grubby/filthy especially when they have colds or in the process/aftermath of eating mine included but as a parent you pay attention and clean them up relatively quickly! - BUT when I see a little one with snot caked on 4 layers thick and the remnants of multiple meals smeared everywhere it gives me such rage and makes me feel sick! - Either the parent/carer hasn't bothered to look at their child for hours to not notice the filth OR they just don't care enough clean them up!!

@Reallybadidea

People who hold their knife like a pencil

Yes. And people who use their fork as a spoon

All people who can't hold cutlery correctly piss me off.

The way my MIL prepares salad/vegetables. She cuts them so, so tiny, as if she will be serving to a Sylvanian Family, not grown adults.

Manic audience applause when a singer on talent show sings a note that is long/ high/ loud or multiple orgasms when all three combined. “Amazingly Talented” = can hold a tune

People pushing prams/pushchairs whilst smoking

Judgemental people.

(I do appreciate the irony, here.)

Astroturf.

Posters not thanking you when you answer a specific question for them.

I posted on a thread this morning. I was the only one to answer the question. The op never thanked me. They have now gone into the same category as drivers not thanking me if I let them out and whom I will never let out again.

Sitting in the middle or 'fast' lane of a motorway when not overtaking.

Motorists stopping at traffic lights in the bit reserved for bikes.

Cyclists who go slowly but skip all the traffic lights, so I have to overtake them (on my bike) several times because they go past me at the lights.

Cyclists or swimmers who don't like being overtaken so deliberately speed up and re-overtake only to slow down again afterwards.

^ Basically, a lot of stuff to do with driving & cycling.

Also:
Linguistic prescriptivism, but also sloppy writing and grammar.

Smoking.

One particular person in my extended family who uploads (literally) several hundred photos a day to SM but doesn't get the concept of hashtags so creates new hashtags which don't link to anything except her own post. Posts have several other annoying features such as bad spelling, cutesy nicknames which really should remain private, far far TMI about things like children's bowel movements.

Myself for being such a bitch about family member above.

'I bet no one will share this ...' posts implying that I don't care about people suffering from cancer, depression, or whatever unless I share the post.

I mean, there's a lot of more important stuff too, to do with politics, or everyday sexism, or the perception of religion, but I kind of think those things are my business so they don't count here.

People not moving up in queues. Makes me oddly stressed even though I know they're not actually slowing me down significantly.
People who call anyone remotely quirky 'weird'.
People pronouncing it 'mis-cheev-ee-ous'.
Gender reveal parties. No one cares but the immediate family imho.
In a similar vein, 'showers' of any description. Grabby. Have a party if you want one, but don't pressure your friends to validate your life choices with gifts.
People who call night owls 'lazy'.
Living rooms decorated exactly like page 22 of the Next catalogue, with nothing to give the slightest clue as to the occupant's personality.
Awful abbreviations like 'BBQ' and 'donuts' (and, in a similar vein, signs that advertise a 'Car Boot' with the word 'Sale' completely absent).
Sandals on men. Cover your hideous feet FFS.
Unsolicited advice/suggestions.
People who yawn without putting their hands over their mouths.
Unnecessarily judgemental people.

I'd rather be thought of as a shagger rather than a napper!

#makingmemories.
My next-door neighbour taking her wheelie bin for a walk twice a day.

Couples who think it is cute to 'lovingly' call each other things fuckface or shithead. Yawn.

Oh, and people whose lives revolve around food.

usually 100m ahead of their parents. It’s criminally unsafe parenting but very, very common.

More risk than if they were 100m behind them. If your children cycle ahead you can warn them of danger. If you are at risk of hitting a child reversing out of your drive, you should be reversing in to it.

@Notverybright EXCELLENT! That made me laugh out loud.

"Oh yah, hooray for Henry'

@sapnupuas I may be your neighbour that’s when I have my afternoon nap when I’m working from home
