To ask what winds you up even though you know it’s irrational

[Butterflyfluff]

Lighthearted (I think!)

A few things popped into my head today which irrationally annoy me and I figured I can’t be the only one who gets irrationally angry about stuff like this

Those I can think of now are

• People who say ‘I don’t drive’ when they actually can’t drive - you wouldn’t say you ‘don’t perform brain surgery’ if you can’t so why is it different with driving

• People with double barrelled / hyphenated first names, eg, Peggy Sue - I’ve never heard one that doesn’t sound twee and they just make me think of weird American cults

• people who still have their Christmas trees up

I realise none of these things actually affect me - they just annoy me! 😂

What winds you up?

People who take weeks to reply to a text but expect an immediate response to theirs

Vocal fry (think Kim k voice)

People who say they “aren’t a morning person” as an excuse to always be late for work- none of us enjoy getting up for bloody work, it’s called being an adult

Drivers who don’t do the thank you wave when you let them cut in or go first - it makes me want to go back in time and NOT let them in

When people put "the" before anything they order in a restaurant. "I'll have the salmon" etc. (I realise this is mostly how you order in a restaurant, but I despise it with every fibre of my being.) SOME salmon, or just Salmon, if you have THE salmon it's like you're asking for ALL THE SALMON. It genuinely puts me off going out for dinner as I get so pissed off before I've even had my starter. Silver lining of a global pandemic.....
Also,using the word myself, or yourself wrongly. But that's a universal one.
I was going to write more, but I've got so cross about thinking about people ordering the salmon, I can't carry on.

People who post Facebook updates saying "Sally has just checked in at Xxx Hospital" or "Sarah is feeling broken 😔". Even more irritating is when, after they get the predictable "what's up, hun?" messages, they reply with "I'll pm you". Raaaaah! Just pm in the first place! Or better still, if you need a chat, call someone!

Since we’re being irrational, people who do up the top button on polo shirts. It just looks silly to me, especially on adults. I don’t know why but it does.

People who don't use their indicators properly at a roundabout 🤬🤬🤬

Men who turn UP the collar of a pastel (always) polo shirt!

Yes!! Totally agree.

It’s pure unadulterated attention seeking,
Same as when couples who live together talk to each other on Facebook- instead of you know, just talking to each other

Whenever someone writes 'your' when it should be 'you're' I scream internally.

Also hate the corny good morning, here is some advice, have a wonderful day forwards I get every morning from my mother in law. Delete, delete, delete!

@Robbybobtail

People who, when offered tea or coffee answer “whatever is easiest”.
Dh is guilty of this and inwardly I scream “they’re both as easy as one another! Just state a preference ffs!”

Yes! Or answer with "are you having one?"

People who say "Can I get.....a coffee" for example

No. You can't 'get' it. You may 'have it' but no, you can't get it can you?

Bad spelling/grammar drives me crazy, especially 'chest of draws'

Saying 'should of', 'would of', 'could of'. It's HAVE. Grrrrrr

People crunching ice. I want to punch them.

People finishing sentences for others.

Oo and, loose when they mean lose...ffs

Dog mess everywhere. Disgusting.

@jinglebitch

I'm with you girl!

People who say arks instead of ask and my all time worst, when people say "I'm going to borrow him my hammer" Noooooooo. It's lend. LEND!!!!

People who say, 'I fell ptegnant'. I am always tempted to say 'Did you hurt yourself when you FELL'.

I also hate it when someone says they are expecting a baby for 'insert their partner's name'. It is like as if they are having a baby to please their partner and that they don't want a baby for themselves at all!!!

'Well aren't you very good to have a baby for your partner.'

I also don't like it when someone says 'I would like to ask a question' and then asks it. Are they asking permission to ask a question? I also hate when someone says in an email/internet post 'Let's see if I can answer that question' and then answers it. Stating the obvious.

Also people going down the isle is not nice, and people going out with THERE friends.

People who wish celebs happy birthday on Facebook as if they're going to see / care.

People (usually the same people as above) wishing their dead nan a happy birthday on Facebook - "miss you loads, your with the angles now, not a day goes by I don't think of u" etc etc. (Sic)

People who have stickers on their walls (live laugh love)

Misuse of the words "myself" and "yourself" in a vain attempt to sound more intelligent and failing miserably. Also, general bad grammar.

There's a theme here. Mostly it is people that irritate me.

Alfa Romeo cars and their off centre number plates. It shouldn't be allowed!

But I also take advantage of long hoses in petrol pumps so I can get in the shortest queue, and sign my name with my first initial instead of having to type my whole name. Sheer laziness! So I'm also irritating

Drivers moaning about parking costs. It's a daily topic on the local Facebook group.
Including DH who will drive round for ages looking for some random alley or residential street to avoid paying for parking.

@AdventureCode

People who breathe loudly,

Having the fabric fire lable tags hanging out from under my pouffe, i can't pin them up as it'll ruin the leather. I can't cut them off as i wont be able to donate them to the charity furniture shop when i replace them. So I'm stuck having them annoy me everytime i catch a glimpse of them.

Double sided sticky tape?

@Chillypenguin

People posting on here asking for ‘line eyes’.

99% of the time there’s no line, and some randoms on the internet saying they can see one doesn’t help. Just do another one in a couple of days.

Hide that whole topic, it's so calming!

@EmpressWitchDoesntBurn

Since we’re being irrational, people who do up the top button on polo shirts. It just looks silly to me, especially on adults. I don’t know why but it does.

They’re called “top button wankers”

See also those who do up the top button of their Ben Sherman shirt.

People who chat to their dogs while they are out a walk as though they are a human, and its usually ways giving them a telling off like a child.

People who stand right up next to you, in a queue. I've had People actually standing touching me, and if you move forward they follow!

MN specific: so many things but a new one is people telling people to "🎵 let it go 🎵" or chanel Elsa 🙄 they seem to think its hilarious, or witty. It's not.

The covid police! Multiple and incessant posts all over Facebook complaining about people on walks outside without masks on. How dare they!
