Things other people do that irrationally annoy you

What do other people do that makes you really mad even though it really doesn't matter. My mum has made me so cross this morning over something that is meaningless. Logically I know it doesn't matter but I'm fuming. 🤣

The crime? She said that my youngest brother has been with his fiancé longer than I've been with my husband. I started dating my husband before he started school and got married just as he started secondary school so it isn't like she's slightly out. See, doesn't matter and yet grrrr.

Also middle brother announced his engagement at oldest brothers engagement party. Oldest brother and his wife are the most chilled people you have ever met (unlike me clearly) so didn't seem to mind but I was furious as it's such bad form.

Also the cat is a dick. She has several water bowls and fountains but won't use them. Put a mug of water down someone and her head is straight in there. We've taken to leaving water mugs in various places (which inevitable end up getting spilled) and drinking out of lidded travels cups.

People who live in London but don’t know how to use transport there. Usually people in their twenties.

If you want to get on or off a bus, you need to be ready. The bus isn’t going to hang around for you to make your presence known. Have your arm out when it is pulling in. Or at least stand up.

If you are on the bottom deck of a bus, standing in front of the exit doors means you are in people’s way. Looking surprised that an overweight woman in her 40s with a bag and a couple of children can’t magically get past you doesn’t help. Go and stand somewhere else - or use your legs and go upstairs.

Standing to go down the escalator to the tube is okay if you have a suitcase or are disabled in some way. Otherwise, if you are young and healthy, walk down the escalator. It’ll do you good. Same for the travelator between the Northern and Central lines at Bank.
