Small things that annoy you... (me)

[Tilllly]

I'm turning into that grumpy middle aged woman.... 🤣. Seems like lots of little things annoy me

This morning's being, stopped at cafe for breakfast
My coffee didn't arrive until I'd finished my bacon sandwich

Day ruined 😉😂

Unthinkable. I didn't know such people even existed.

people stopping at the end of the escalator. Move out of the bloody way!

This. Causing human pile ups. And people who walk up down escalators thereby defeating the object.

People standing in queues who don’t move when the queue moves.

It's always cycling

Even worse are the people who get off the escalator when they have been on the right hand side standing and step to the left. Yes, I will bump into you as we have been walking down so need the area clear

Of course the food waste isn't going to be eaten - its is going to be composted; unless its come into contact with the toxic plastic the bins are made from.
No we aren't allowed to use newspapers to line the bins. In any case I don't buy newspapers. We have to buy special bags at £2 a roll.
Why don't they just make the bins from plastic that doesn't contaminate the compost?

It's always cycling

Just once I want it to be dogging.

I get your point but I imagine most people aren't buying apraxia bags and all ending up in the big green bin?

People who walk to the front of the bus stop and lean against it so anyone behind them, seated or standing, cannot see what buses are coming

Faffers

Those who walk towards a ticket barrier on the tube then suddenly at the last second veer off and step in front of the barrier I am going for just before I present my ticket. Pick one and keep to it.

Don't try and fare dodge and get thought the tube barrier on my ticket. You are too close so I walk on slightly then deliberately stop so you are trapped behind the barrier.

Twitter users who cannot stand being called out. You post something in reply to me that is unkind or unfair, I am going to answer you mate.

That's better 😁

😂

I meant special bags!!!

People that buy cinema seats right next to you km a practically empty cinema. What is wrong with them?

My dh when he folds the washing but doesn't put it away. There isn't a laundry fairy that wants a wand so that the clothes end up in the correct wardrobes. Instead he leaves the piles and our 18 month old will knock them over and I'll find them on the floor. He isn't otherwise useless and does his fair share but this bloody annoys me. I do understand that you on occasion might need to go answer the door mid task or check on one orlf the kids but he does this far too regularly. Our older two are 5 and 6 and can do things like putting their socks and underwear in the correct drawers but both can't reach to hang stuff up in the wardrobes or put it away tidily in the chest of drawers so since it's a job an adult will need to do I don't understand why he doesn't just do it.

We don't use newspapers to line the bins. This borough accepts food waste wrapped in newspapers instead of putting it in the bags that the council supplies at £2 a roll.

Dog owners who let their dogs bounce over to me and jump up.

People who open noisy packets at the cinema and then spend half the film mindlessly crunching.

Husband snoring.

Excessively slow drivers.

People generally

DP who fills the dishwasher but never puts it on.

@Abitofalark @CaptainMyCaptain I eat Kitkats like that. I also eat pizza like this but this is mainly just to annoy DH 😆

DP who fills the dishwasher but never puts it on.

Ah. You mean the dirty plate storage unit, where one leaves dirty plates for 2 or 3 days, so that they have to be removed, soaked and scrubbed by hand?

Yes MrsSinner, I'm glowering at YOU.

Omg @Soddingcat 😮 I posted yesterday on this thread I think saying about my DH and his new sniffing habit 😭 do you think it would be grounds for divorce 🤔

I always think this with those posts too. Although once someone actually did say " oh yes, that was me, sorry"

People using self service tills and. Packing their bags after they've paid. Pack as you shop FFS

Some of them (most if them?) use scales though and have a fit if you put a bag on them. In all the years I've been using self-serve tills I have got a scale to accept my bag precisely once!

I try to use the ones in Waitrose and M&S which don't weigh your stuff and you can put stuff in your bag as you go. So much easier and quicker!

Talking of FB, people who check in to the hospital,put up cryptic posts.
And when someone asks,they say they'll pm them.
I'm invested now Susan tell us all😂

Don't try and fare dodge and get thought the tube barrier on my ticket. You are too close so I walk on slightly then deliberately stop so you are trapped behind the barrier

That could be me. I am not fare dodging. The barriers never accept my flippin ticket. I thought it was because I buy a single with a railcard so they want someone to check I have a valid railcard but it happens with the single without a railcard too! I don't keep it near my mobile phone either, sometimes I've only just bought it.

So I do tailgate because the staff are grumpy and unhelpful and never there when you need them.

This isn't on the tube though, it's the National Rail barriers.

DS and DH obsessively organising the supermarket shopping on the conveyor belt, all clean lines and symmetry, with no hint that the putting away process behind closed doors is much more of a free-for-all. If it lands in the right cupboard or section of the fridge, that's a bonus, but it's by no means a given.

My wife, on the rare occasion she goes food shopping:

Hm, strawberries, bananas and bread in first. Now, five pounds of tatties, some tins, a bottle of wine. Cheese, ham, sausages, now where's the washing powder... An iced cake? Shall I take care? Why no! Let's put it in upside down!

At home: stupid bread! Oh no, the banana and strawberries are over ripe! Christ, don't get this cheese again, it tastes soapy, eurrgh!

But you are fare dodging by trying to go through on my ticket and not asking 'grumpy' staff. If there are staff there ask them. If you try and come through on my ticket, you are a thief.

How else are you to keep the kitchen tidy? Husband doesn't know the dishwasher has a little person in there with a scrubbing brush ready to do all that for you? All you need to do is press Pre-rinse and away it goes, scrubbing and scraping, swishing and sloshing.
