Why is everything so annoying?!

[MagentaDragon]

Anyone fancy a moan about trivial things that are irritating them?

A pigeon is driving me insane. WHHHHYYY do they have to make such a stupid noise, all day long? It sounds like the bird version of one of those unfortunate X-factor contestants whose family neglected to mention to them that they are tone deaf and have zero chance of becoming an owl. 🦉

Not really an AIBU I suppose, I mean I know I'm being a cantankerous witch - probably because I'm having to work on a sunny day - but I couldn't locate a topic dedicated to annoying pigeon noises.

I've bought your product or I've used your service or done your course. If I have a problem with it I'll let you know. If it's great I might tell other people and you'll get more custom.

But please, please, please don't ask me to answer 20 questions about whether I liked it, what I liked, what could be better etc. And the answer to whether I'd buy/use/follow it again depends more on whether I need another than if I specially liked yours.

And if I graciously condescend to fill in your 1000 question questionnaire, for goodness sake don't contact me again with even more questions, or the same ones again.

Ooh, that feels better!

Covid oneway systems have me at aaargh level within seconds. Particularly in places that are empty.

Yes, this drives me INSANE! I have a few companies/brands I refuse point blank to buy from now because of the incessant fucking emails asking for my opinion. The absolute worst is bobux (children’s shoes). What pisses me off no end, is they are literally the only shoes my son gets on with. I will only buy them from a local independent now (used to buy direct on their website), and will only buy in store so they don’t get to track my purchases and bombard me with 5,000,000 emails

Those annoying Cookies on every website!!

Taking the last thing of something and leaving the empty packet or box in fridge or cupboard. Teenage dc do it alot Fancied an egg early; opened box and none left. Also when dh leaves the bit of milk in bottle. Just use it or throw out.

And it adds insult to injury to call them cookies: Actual cookies are fantastic and don't deserve to be associated with online stalking! 😡

Oh yes to the pigeons hooting away shouting ‘my toe bleeds betty, my toe bleeds betty, my toe bleeds betty oooh’ and to my fecking DH for telling me that was what they say, i cannot unhear it now 😡

Ps apologies for passing this annoyance to others 😳

Our pigeons don't do anything like that!

Is it a regional thing?

Our standard Annoying Pigeon Call has three syllables, middle one longer and curved.

I think I can top your annoying bird noises...

We have a line of trees next to our house which is always a favourite with nesting birds- lots of pigeons, blue tits, blackbirds and sparrows etc, all very noisy and cackling away to each other but that matters not as they are all drowned out by the BIRD NOISE SPEAKER that my neighbour currently has hanging out of his window!!

He’s trying to entice a different kind of bird into his new overly expensive (yet very ugly) nesting box but I think he’s scaring them away because, as dd2 pointed out in her loudest possible voice as she was getting in the car, it sounds like a rubbish car alarm

I have not "been" since Friday.

Is it too much to ask that the startled meerkat face actually results in a poop, not a massive piss and a small fart.

I am taking something for it but the wait is annoying as hell.

Oh, and the tweety little fuckers that sit in the trees outside my bedroom window at night advertising for a shag incessantly can fuck off and then some.

@merryhouse loving the idea that pigeons have regional accents!

The ones trespassing in my garden sound like you describe: hoo-hooooo-hoo. Aaaargh! Go away!!!!!

Whhhhhaaaat?! He's deliberately making more of these noises? What a nutter!

Bloody cuckoo started up at 4.30 last night.

The clothes I ordered arrived and most of them don't fit. Despite being supposedly the same size some are too big and some are too small so now I have to return them.

Everything is annoying me today.

Labels on clothes, they seem to be miniature novels nowadays and they are beyond irritating. I have to pick the whole thing out and resew the seam or I will be driven mad by 6mm of nasty plastic paper scratching me every time I breathe.

I have to listen to the racket of the dreading ‘cooing birds’ in stereo as they sit in the tree at the front of the house and in the ones at the back. So it’s ‘hoo hoo hoo, hoo hoo’ from dawn til bloody dusk. As soon as one nears the end of the dreaded 5 syllable repertoire another one pipes up. I think they are driving me slightly mad. I wake up to them cooing, listen to them cooing all day then lie in bed at night listening to them again. Aaaargh.

@merryhouse Collared dove just says "My Toe Hurts" so could be those you are hearing.

We are away visiting relatives and next to some woods and I am actually enjoying the birdsong but we also had a cuckoo at about 4 am and then I imagined it was the doorbell ringing and had to get up to check and then I finally fell asleep at about 5 and then the doorbell did actually ring at 7. Fortunately it wasn't the cuckoo ringing it though. MrsCuckoo was probably off scouting for someone else's nest to lay an egg in. Sneaky bugger.

My son lost my bank card on Friday at 11pm at a very busy park where anyone could have found it & used it. So I called to cancel immediately. On the dedicated lost or stolen cards number. Only to get a whole load of recorded waffle about other things the bank can do and all the things i can do online. Not helpful as it was quite important to get the card cancelled ASAP! 😠😠

Why do so few baby changes have a toilet for the parent? And then the actual toilets are too small to take a pushchair in anyway. So I have to do the twins then spend 5 minutes trying to get into the toilet block with doors positioned at weird angles to one another and then leave the door open whilst I pee so I can see the pushchair

Just attempted to change broadband from Virgin to BT. Good offer available ( till 3 june) for those with the stamina to withstand the phone call. Password? Other stuff? Finally got round to reason for my call but was blinded by what seemed to be science and gave up. Am cross with myself.

I can put up with the sound of birds, it's just the 14 effing horny peacocks that frequent my garden that are driving me mad. They may be pretty, but they are bloody noisy at 530 in the morning. Plus sick of trying to play dodge the peacock poo on the lawn,especially with a 13 month old that wants to stick everything in her mouth. So constantly making sure the grass is clear fof her

It's the middle of the night here, and it's winter. My bedsocks fell off so I woke with cold feet. Now I cannot get back to sleep. Stupid socks.

i'll take noisy birds over loud shit music, screaming kids, noisy hot tubs and twats in general. just moved away from all that and so thankful fot it .
