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 😉😂

People who say how hard they've got it after TTC for a few months (I'm speaking about even as little as 2 months etc).
Sorry if this offends anyone.
I took a break from Mumsnet when all 'so frustrated and heartbroken, we tried for two months and I'm still not pregnant' got too much.

Also, people who don't indicate! There's a reason cars have indicators.

How else are you to keep the kitchen tidy?

I know this is probably a bit weird and radical, but I wash up, after we've finished eating. Coo, I'm mad, me!

And don't use them two seconds after the lights have changed, that doesn't help me!

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!

Waitrose self checkout is the best. They provide tables that you can put your handbag etc on so you don’t go upsetting the machine.

That Cranberries song Zombies

People who talk through gigs.
People who insist on filming a gig with their phone instead of actually watching it!

Men (and it usually is) leaving their trolley in the middle of the aisle with their back to everyone. Yesterday there must have been 10 - I've never seen so many men shopping. So annoying when I've got my trolley, my DDs tiny trolley and DD. How hard is it to leave your trolley to the side. Constantly saying move out of the fucking way excuse me

4x4s on the school run

Price stickers that just can't be properly removed from your purchase without leaving some kind of residue (TK Maxx, I'm looking at you😬, other shops do it but they're the worst offenders) I once bought some Scion Mr. Fox cups and years later, no matter how many times they have been washed in boiling water or had Sticky Stuff Remover applied, there is still a sticky area left.

Large groups of men out on their bikes taking up all the road so no one can overtake. And as if that's not bad enough... who do you think is at home looking after the kids/doing dinner? When was the last time you saw a large group of women out on their bikes? Oh yeah. NEVER!

When was the last time you saw a large group of women out on their bikes? Oh yeah. NEVER!

My cycling club has a ladies division, we go out as a group most weeks 🤣

Yes TKmaxx, otherwise known as homesense - we are looking at you

Men (and it usually is) leaving their trolley in the middle of the aisle with their back to everyone.

In my experience, it's the exact opposite!

And the ones who park the trolley in front of a shelf, hang onto it with one hand, then fiddle with something on a high shelf. For ages.

No the large groups of women are at the spa.

I once had an Ofsted inspector do this all through his observation of my lesson, about 40 minutes. After he left the comments from my Year 11s would have got the school closed had he heard them, they called his Scratchyballs for the rest of the week!

Ugh, people who just let their trolley roll into the trolley park rather than putting them in properly or, even worse, the knobheads who leave the trolley in the empty parking space next to them.

Children's tiny trolleys are a menace, no need for them at all, it only adds to the problem this poster complains about!

Or indicate as they are switching lane, turning off etc
WHATS THE POINT NOW?!

Putting lots of effort into cooking a meal to have certain young people act as if it is poisonous at the very least. I HATE cooking for small children... love cooking though. Don't want praise just eat the bloody food!

People who yawn without covering their mouths. You’re not a dinosaur.

I'm back with - people (my husband) who moan about easily solved problems

-I have a headache
-take some painkillers
-no

-this curry is hot
-want some yoghurt/water?
-nah

-I'm cold!
-want your slippers?/heating on?/jumper?
-nah I'll be OK

JUST TAKE THE HELP

People who either say ‘what do you mean?’ or ask for further clarification after you make a simple statement like ‘I’ll be back by 4’ or ‘tea is at 6’.

People who faff

People who are always late then act like it’s some endearing quality.

People who no matter what cafe or restaurant you’re in will ask the staff to amend the menu in some way (they have no dietary requirements)

People who cannot make simple decisions ‘I can’t decide if I prefer the pink top or the purple one’ ‘Oh do I want chips or a jacket potato?’ I don’t know because I’m not you, but more importantly it is of no real consequence to anyone or anything.

People who can’t possibly understand you have a different thought process to them. Their way is obviously better -NO IT’S NOT, people are different, people have different ways of doing things!

People who offer advice when you haven’t asked for it.

Most of the things mentioned on this thread. Also...

Drivers who don't move right up to the line when waiting to pull out of junction so that you have to traipse another couple of meters to get behind them if you're crossing the road they're pulling out of.

Scuffers. Particularly if they're going in the same direction and you can't get away from them.

My partner pronouncing "espresso" as "expresso" with an exaggerated X, for the love of God it doesn't have an X in it.
