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.

😂

This isn't irrational but PEOPLE WHO DON'T USE THEIR CAR INICATORS!

Is anyone brave enough to admit they do this? I passed my test around 7 years ago and can hand on heart say I always use my indicators even if there's no one really about because it's better to be a muscle memory/automatic thing and you never know if a pedestrian will appear.

It is completely selfish and lazy, how much effort is is? It holds up the flow of traffic at roundabouts, the amount of times on the way to work I think, well thanks I could have gone then if I'd known you were leaving at the next exit.

We have a mini roundabout down the road and the amount of times theres a sort of Mexican standoff for a few seconds and eventually some div will put there indicator on, WHY DIDN'T YOU DO IT ON APPROACH?

@honeylulu I have 2 toilets and tend to clean them at the same time. Without fail both of my children will go for a poo one in each toilet every bloody time i clean it!

Slow walkers. Meandering around in groups taking up the whole path. If you want to walk that slow then do it in single file. Maybe if you walked a little faster your arse wouldn’t be that size!

If I'm waiting to use a cash machine and the person Infront of me is taking forever.

Women who give their husbands an ultimatum!!
You either stop seeing your child from another relationship or we get a divorce!
Sick sick woman

People who sing along to music in shops. Totally irrational.

When DH breathes it irritates me

they know she’s with you, and this has happened multiple times?

she doesn’t want to spend time with you and has asked them to do this.

also, is 2 months really long a time without seeing a friend?

Yes, my mother and my grandmother both do this and it makes me furious (they also comment on people's weight/shape and what they're eating if we're in a cafe - I hate going out to eat with them). So bitchy and nasty.

My completely irrational one is other people using 'my' locker at the gym, even though it isn't my locker, just one of the lockers. I hate having to try and remember which one my stuff is in if I have to pick a different one and mine is exactly in the right place.

When people move out and don't change their address and we constantly get mail for them.

The expression “can I get”?
Irrationally annoys me every time.

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...

How old is your cat, @HuzzahIndeed - and does she seem to drink a lot of water? Have you had her kidney function checked recently?

I hate them people say "well my father always told me ....". Followed by some random well Known advice, such as neither a borrow or a lender be, a stitch in time, a bird in the hand

Just drives me mad

Well, I have never known a nice Jeremy. So being called Jeremy is an irrational annoyance of mine

People who slurp, gulp, or chew with their mouth open. People who stop abruptly at the end of escalators instead of moving to the side before checking their phone, people who eat smelly food on public transport, people who talk/shriek loudly in groups or loudly on their phone on public transport. People who are very overweight that sit half on me when they sit next to me in the pregnant/disabled seats, hurting me while I’m pregnant and already in horrendous pain. If you can’t fit, kindly let half your body hang off the seat into the aisle instead of sitting on me. Sick of arriving at work in tears of pain. I will say I have no issue with plus-sized people, I’m disabled myself with chronic health issues, just those that are thoughtless and rude.

People who press the bell on the bus for it to stop when someone has already done that. Then someone else does it. I don't know why bus drivers don't go berserk and yell 'I heard it the first time!!'

My brother's a nice Jeremy - except he HATES that name, regularly berated my late mother for choosing it ( we have no idea why our parents decided on that name) has never used it and for 60 odd years has gone by his middle name.

When we were children it was a game to see how long it would take us to make him have a meltdown over it.

When people holding a door open pointedly and sarcastically say "thank you" because I'm lost in thought, following a whole line of other people and havent said it to them. I'm not being rude, just a bit away with the fairies, as I do say thank you when I notice. But they ARE being rrude by commenting on it.

Also a lot of things my DH does or doesn't do...... but maybe that's quite rational!

DH snoring/heavy breathing - he wakes me up but not himself?!
DH sneezing has to be over 100 decibels; he makes the glasses ring
People who walk behind you in the street with loud footsteps/talking to each other...really irritating; just fucking speed up and take over!!
Hiccups...OMG...anyone, including me.
The fact that no other adult in the house can't see that the washing basket is full so a wash needs to go on or can't see that the toilet needs a clean
DS who can't seem to draw his curtains of a morning.
People who shop i.e. supermarket and slowly pack items away whilst chatting/having a joke with the cashier (totally irrational as said person probably hasn't seen another human being for a week and fancied a natter but does it always have to be when I'm busy?!?!)
The continuation of periods loooooooooong after kids have arrived and no more are wanted/planned...just wish they'd miraculously know that you don't want anymore kids and would just stop.
the menopause....which has probably caused much of my irrational anger tbh.. FFS.

This! Drives me mad every time!!

I used to get the bus home from school (London, 90s). When kids were being dicks and ringing it constantly, the driver would shout at the whole bus. One even pulled over at a bus stop and refused to move until they packed it in. I confess I was a bit scared to ring for my stop on that journey following that.

People walking through a door I'm holding for them and not at least giving an indication that they've noticed.

Be aware of your surroundings. You must know you're traversing from one area to the next. Acknowledge it.

MY DH used to cycle to work (no lycra in sight - he hated it but we only had one car so he didnt have a choice) and he started by using the cycle path, but the sheer number of people walking in the cycle lane and - even worse - walking their dogs across both the cycle half and the walking half was so infuriating he started using the road.

So before slating cyclists, perhaps we need to slate the walkers who meander aimlessly across cycle paths making them hard to use for cyclists (and the dog walkers who seem intent on tripping people up with their dogs leads)!

And yes to the people who like to announce their good deeds on FB "just want to check the elderly lady who fell over in Morrisons today is ok - I saw her fall, dived to catch her and carried her heroically to the side of the road where I waited 3 hours with her until a neighbour came to pick her up. But I just want to know if shes ok" (because the other randoms on FB are bound to know). Grr.

My husband cuts his sausages length ways when he eats them with a knife and fork and it drives me insane - no idea why!!
