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.

Most things about shed-sized 4x4 cars and their drivers, but particularly when they spot a parking space on our narrow high street and take an age to parallel park, or stop dead in front of you and expect you to reverse to allow room for them to do this.
No, I cannot back up, there are cars behind me.
Bonus rage points for doing this on the wrong side of the road.
You forked out £££kkk for your bloated gas-guzzler, FFS pay for a space in a proper carpark, but not next to my modest little car so I can't see to get out. Grrrr.

People who sneeze more then twice in a row like seriously i get it now stfu or leave the room.
People who eat or breath loudly. Oh the murderous thoughts in my head.
When someone has a cough, I can't hear the telly and you need to move out for 7 to 10 days

@MrsDanversGlidesAgain

Ha ha ha, the brutality of having siblings

Anyway, I bet it's because he went by his middle name that he was so nice!

Tell you what's worse than that, grown-Arse cyclists on the bloody pavements !

Actually that's a fairly rational one 😂

I used to be quite a chilled laid back person but as I have got older I have become more and more intolerant.

On the whole people in general just annoy me. A couple of things that annoy me the most are people walking along the street looking at their phones. On a busy street I seem to be forever dodging them. Also when they were walking in front of you looking at/using their phone and stop dead.

The other thing that really really irritates me is on buses where so many people ring the bell to get off at the same stop. Once one person has rung it no one else needs to but, often, about another 5 or more will ring it. In London it drives me mad

People who stand on the left. (and people who stand in the middle of the airport moving walkway!!!!)
People who write/say 'could of'.
Wisteria plants (they're pretty but definitely something that came out of Alien given the speed with which they spread and try to kill any other unsuspecting plant on their way)
My husband leaving his closet door open! (the only reason for this being that cats then go in and sleep on his clothes which then needs significant de-furmination).

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Mine is people who are so wrapped up in themselves they can't be bothered to thank others for a simple pleasantry such as holding a door open

They’re not being rude by pointing out your rudeness

People having phone calls on speakerphone on the train. Or playing videos. If you have a hearing impediment, you're excused but for the other 99% of inconsiderate passengers, I do not want to listen to your crap for an hour.

Driving down my road beeping your horn. Yes it's single track with blind corners so drive at an appropriate speed. Would you like me to honk my horn outside your house all day?

Followed by people that don't realise that if you don't stop in a passing place on a single track road, no one can get past anyone. Yes, this has resulted in two hour gridlock that stops people that actually live on the road getting into their drives.

Pegging washing poorly on the line (I realise I'm being pedantic on this one).

Drifty people in the supermarket.

Yes! This drives me mad. DP does the same, even for things that he knows I am in no better position to answer. What time is the show? When is DS moving to preschool? Is there mince left in the fridge? The worse one, at least once a week: "Is it going to rain today?" How the fuck am I supposed to know???

Very loud sneezing. Standing in doorways.

Yes!! The weather ones!! Do I need to bring an umbrella? I don't know!!!!!!!!

Yes! It's awful

People who start a conversation by saying, "Don't even ask me about my day" and then feeling trapped by convention to now ask what happened and compelled to literally not ask, at the same time.

People having phone calls on speakerphone on the train. Or playing videos. If you have a hearing impediment, you're excused but for the other 99% of inconsiderate passengers, I do not want to listen to your crap for an hour.

This. A million freakin' times over.

Mines really specific. When a Bodypump class finishes and everyone is putting their equipment away, and someone goes and stands right in front of the rack where they take their weights off the bar, wipe it all down, hang it up as they go and just get in everyone else's way. Most people disassemble, wipe down and then carry stuff over to hang up quickly. I feel proper rage every time that happens!

Just get rid of the mugs!

Yep, that gulping sound makes me utterly murderous.

Also, anyone commenting on what I'm eating. Positively or negatively, doesn't matter. Keep your eyes and your opinions away from my food. 😡

My husbands inability to leave doors fully open or fully shut. Instead he'll just leave them slightly ajar so they let a breeze through (from downstairs loo) or bang against the door frame when the wind blows through.

He also puts spoons the wrong way in the dishwasher.

Oh, and if he empties the washing machine he always shuts the door fully despite me repeatedly (and very politely) asking him to leave it open a bit so it can air.

All these things are inconsequential to my life but they irritate the hell out of me.

Sentences where 'me', 'myself' and 'I' aren't used correctly. I know what MNers always say about benefits of education and not to be judgy about things like SPAG but it's SO infuriating because everyone does know it really - they would always get it correct in single-person sentences so why do they think adding someone else changes it?

'Myself and my husband always go to Bournemouth for my holiday'. No one would say 'Myself goes to Bournemouth'.

'I go to Bournemouth'; 'My husband and I go to Bournemouth' . So simple.

'The school phoned my husband and I and said....'; just why?? No one would say 'The school phoned I...', so it's 'the school phoned my husband and me'.

Annoying every single time.

People who spell the word appalling as appauling.

When bloody parents stand in the fiyer watching swimming lessons WHEN THEIR CHILDREN AREN'T EVEN IN THE F*KIN POOL. Stood next to them waiting for their lesson.
MOVE out of the way and let the actual parents of the children who happen to be in the pool watch. It's only half an hour and you will get your turn. Or, even better, don't turn up until 5 mins before! Why wait for half an hour?! The mind boggles.

Also when my mother swears blind that she hasn't told me things or done things in the past, or, she makes up complete nonsense and says that I have told her.

Drives me fucking crazy and is definitely a form of gaslighting. Stop rewriting fecking history too!!

People who reply to posts on here, facebook, etc with "so and so here".

Like, "Nurse here", "Dog owner here", "Planter whisperer here". I can't explain why but I find it so annoying.

Also companies who, when you message them to ask a question, reply by saying ‘thank you for reaching out to us’. 🤬

My thing is when people put 'Want gone now' on Facebook marketplace ads. 'Want gone now' is a horrible expression. To me it sounds so ungrateful, throwaway and entitled. Like - I think this tat is too shitty for me, but I'm sure there's some loser out there who should be grateful for it...'

I understand if people are moving house or doing a clearance or something they may well want an item to sell quickly, but how about saying something like:
'Due to the urgency of house move, we are keen to sell this at a competitive price'

Something that conveys empathy for the buyer and doesn't make you sound like an ignorant rude dick.

I know I'm over-reacting and it probably isn't even meant like that, but it definitely stirs an irrational cringe/rage response in me!

Actually. I've got a few more.

People who aren't accountable. If you can't do something, say you can't do it. Don't tell me you can do it and then 3 months down the line claim you can't when it's too late and the project falls flat on its face. Ditto people who try and change the task to cut corners when we have specifically agreed not to cut corners because it will lead to the problem we are actually trying to sort out with the new task.

Also DHs inability to recycle properly. Stop putting plastic wrapping in the glass recycling. Stop putting minging takeaway trays that are still covered in food in. The bin men won't take them!!!!!
I adore my husband but I swear to god that will be the reason that goes on the divorce papers.
