Things other people do that irrationally annoy you

[HuzzahIndeed]

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 call when they could have emailed.

People who lean around you to push the button at a crossing when you’ve clearly already pressed it.

People with loud ringtones. Usually something embarrassing like “Born to be Wild” - get in the bin.

People (my DH) who leave dishes in the sink to soak and then never take them out again and drop teaspoons and all sorts in the grimy, cold water that I’m expected to fish out when I need to use the sink. Absolutely not. Just put them in the dishwasher like a normal person!

People who leave doors a jar , not open or shut completely so they do that fucking random tapping
Arghhhhhh

The state of the roads are sometimes better than the pavement. Also a bit easier when it's bin dodging collection day

Does the mushroom mug have pictures of mushrooms on or is it shaped like a mushroom? Why the mushroom one in particular? What do the others look like?

I'm invested in these mugs that you hate but refuse to get rid of...

Dh asking me shit he can look up himself. Hundreds of times. "What time is Harvest festival?, when is parents evening, is it inset say this week or was it next week" it I have booked his ticket, sent him a screens shot. Its in the family calendar. The school sends emails to both of us. Its so rude.
I have stopped answering now and just walk off.

I told a friend this morning I think if it was womwn who traditionally were in power, I dont think secretarys or pa's would exist. We'd just get on with remembering our own meetings, booking our own travel and get our own coffeee. Ffs I am fuming today

When people have a habit of saying the opposite of what you just said, as if they're trying to give the alternative but really you just want them to fucking agree with you so you can get over your hormonal bad mood!

Oh and the fooookers who hug the pole on the tube for dear life as if it is their long lost love. I am 5.1. I cant reach for the ceiling ones. Just hold the pole tjing woth ONE hand!!!!!

In some people's case exist near me. That count?
🤣🤣🤣

Cyclists on main road when there's a designated cycle lane.

Opening one of those insulated water bottles every 5 mins in meetings.

Wandering round outside with Costa or Starbucks cups.

Another one for people with loud voices.

Looking at you woman on the bus last week having a braying decibel beating conversation with the woman sitting in the opposite aisle. Heard every repetitive opinion of every art exhibition she had ever attended. People looking round at her had no effect, boom, boom, boom with her sodding voice. No where to escape to as the bus was full My ears were ringing by the time I got off, luckily she didn't follow to the train station.

When you've filled in an online form for more information, declined to give your phone number but provided your email address and asked to be emailed the info instead (so you can read it at your leisure) and they reply to your email saying "please provide your phone number so we can call you". No! Just fucking send it via email like I asked instead of wasting time with this bollocks reply when you could have just...included the info I asked for?
This happened this morning and I'm so bloody cross about it. They would've got money by me using their service but I won't be now out of principle.

People who don't say please and thank you when asking for/collecting things you've offered on facebook/freecycle.

I'm currently waiting in for someone to collect something I've offered. His reply to my post was literally "I'll have this. Where are you? I'll come tomorrow". He made me so cross but I need it gone and no one else wants it so I have to let him have it. I'm fuming with myself over it. But I know I'll smile and say thank you when he comes. Then I'll be even more cross with myself.

@Glitterblue

People who suddenly stop at the top of an escalator just after they've got off and you're behind them practically having to run on the spot

When I am queen of the world, it will be legal to murder these people, along with people who insist on wearing enormous, Everest-conquering-type backpacks on the Tube at rush hour.

The stinky ones who don't wash but think its fine to use public transport or go in shops-rank ! I'm talking about people who go days without soap and water and stink so much it makes you gag.
No it is not okay to let your little darlings run around in the bus shrieking and jumping on all the spare seats.
Vaping outside a shop doorway so you have to walk through a cloud of sickly strawberry vape.
There is a whole empty beach/field/ park why do you have to sit down three feet away with your feral kids running riot, just go away !
Sorry but people just drive me nuts, not all but most !

My mum annoys me as she constantly messes with her phone. She was even looking at facebook last week when getting off a train. I was seething. What is so good about facebook that you are incapable of putting your phon e away for 2 minutes in order to get safely off the train

Constant lateness. Yes I do understand roadworks, traffic, etc.

People who don't listen or read the information properly that you send them about an upcoming event. Then they ask you questions about it later - stuff that you've already answered - or they tell you they didn't know this and that about it - aarrrgh!!

My teenagers asking me important questions or to help them with awkward things when I'm literally on my way to bed.

I don't like irony much either 🤣 but in my defence my keyboard keeps fucking off making typing hard and at least my misspelling sounds the same 🤣🤣

I was at my sisters house for dinner once and one of her friends was there. He kept pouring himself a mouthfull of wine, drinking it and 5 or 10 minutes later poured another tiny glass and drink it.

I don't know why it bothered me so much - I wasn't drinking so didn't effect me in the slightest and had nothing else against the guy - but everytime he did it I just wanted to yell at him "Just pour yourself a proper bloody glass of wine!"

I've been wracking my brain trying to think of what gives me the irrational rage 🤔Can't think of anything. I must be either so laid back im horizontal or go about in a daze. Oh wait! Just thought of one. The way my ex husband ate crisps. He held the packet about an inch from his face, had to twist his hand like a contortionist to get a crisp out . Then it was crunch sniff....crunch sniff...every.....fucking ...single .....crisp. i had murderous thoughts but that was 40 years ago so I'm over it now.😁

People on FB Marketplace who ask "is this available?" then just disappear. How long would it take to say, "sorry I've changed my mind but thanks anyway." Have some bloody manners!!!!

People who press the bell on the bus when it's only just stopped.

Hiccups fill me with murderous rage. Even when I have them myself.

When one of my kids goes straight in the toilet for a shit just after I've cleaned it. I know that's what it's for, I know when you gotta go you gotta go but just AAAARRGHH!

Also when my opposite neighbour does not turn their porch light off at night and it's still on in the morning and sometimes all day. I know it's none of my business but for a one inexplicable reason it makes me cross.

The word 'physicality', don't know why I just hate it.

My partner asking me what's for tea. I think it's partly, if someone (me) is good enough to cook for you, you'll have what you're given and be grateful, partly he'll mansplain how to improve whatever I'm cooking (onetime he burned water) and partly because he wants to know what to drink with it, like some fancy arsed wine officianado (we don't have a wine cellar, it'll be the sole bottle that's in the kitchen).

I'm also agog with curiosity about these soup mugs.

Oh, a new one, these bloody ads that keep coming up while I'm trying to read this thread telling me to rotate my device. Ffs MN!,

I have loads, but probably can't think of them all!

My DP clears his throat when he's congested etc but it's not a quick process, its a 10 minute long saga where i'm sure one day he's going to cough up his lung with the amount of effort and noise- i'm sure the neighbours can hear him down the street. He also tends to do this mostly when i seem to be eating!

People in the house using a bigger plate/tray etc to what they need, for example my DS will use the biggest baking dish to cook a single piece of chicken breast or my DP will use a large plate to microwave a tiny burger, why does this annoy me though!?

Also a family member of mine moved house x number of years ago and insists that i purchased my dog after they moved house. Aside from my memory i have paperwork, vet information, fb and instagram posts to prove what year i got my dog but family member insists that i am wrong 😅we have the convo every few months, i think they think one day i will realise i am wrong, i can't change fact!
