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 😉😂

That irritates me too, as does starting sentences with "So". There's no need. Why do so many people do that?!

Starting answers with "So" is even worse!

My mother. She comes under the 'small things' heading cos shes 4'10. Drives me scatty that woman.

Yes to cars waving you across the road at pelican crossings. I cross a duel carriage way on my way to work. Quite often car drivers will stop at green and wave for me to cross. Well I’m not crossing because it’s a duel carriage way and there could be another car coming in the other lane you Pratt! Just drive on and I’ll cross when the lights tell me to.

Arrrgh, that too! 😬It gets everywhere, and once noticed you can't not notice.

"What do you do for work?!
"So, I'm a..."

You what?! Why start the reply with "So"? 😬It's nonsensical

When you go out for Sunday lunch and they bring your meal with the gravy already poured on.

Vicious ‘cycle’ is not an expression.

’Mental health’ is not a condition. You don’t have mental health, you have poor mental health (is this just a northern thing?)

People who constantly laugh after everything they say regardless of whether it was meant to be funny.

Arctic Monkeys.

The escalator blockers. Oh god yes. They stop immediately when they get off and discuss which way to go. I brace myself and let the escalator ram me into them.

That last paragraph made me properly laugh! 😂

People who say “I could care less” and can’t understand why it’s wrong.

Aty sons St Patrick's Day concert and the amount of people talking over it was awful.
Even the teacher had too shout
Really ruined the experience.

Every other sentence seems to start with wait!
And even worse... wait... what?
I feel like asking where would you like me to wait?

No, I'll trust the Italians I know with how to pronounce words in their own language. 😁

When there's a sign saying road closed ahead but it doesn't tell you which road. How do I know if I need to turn round? Which fucking road is it?

People who expect you to engage with their kids in shops or restaurants.
This particular woman who sniffs every 10 seconds or so on the bus.
People who walk up really fast behind me.
My sister putting on a baby voice when she speaks to her partner.
The word 'Hon'.
Cyclists up on the pavement cycling really fast towards me.
Noisy eaters and slurping tea drinkers.

Adults scooting on the pavement. There's a man who passes me on my way home from the station and I hear the scooter well before he passes and just the sound annoys me... and then him scooting along also annoys me.
but I'm possibly a bit jealous that he will get home a bit quicker

When you go to a concert/theatre with those fold up seats and people arrive late, force most of the row to stand up and breathe in so you can get past, all while the show is starting.
Especially annoying when they're sat near the end yet they insist on entering the row from the other end. Go fucking round.

Drivers who decide to indicate off roundabouts as they're already exiting it.

People who park opposite junctions or on dangerous bends without a care in the world.

Oh God, yes! I was on one in a railway station in Denmark. There was a group of tourists, all congregating at the bottom and I was yelling "Move! Fucking move!" and gesticulating. They just gawped.

There was a huge pile up, there must have been 30 people down. Someone pressed the emergency stop and more people on the actual escalator went down. How there were no serious injuries amazes me.

When it cleared and I got to the bottom, a woman reproached me, saying that there was no need to have been aggressive!

People posting on social media #family #makingmemories #justfuckoff!

When I'm at the supermarket waiting to get to the milk and the person who is getting their milk stands in front of the fridge for 5 minutes fiddling with their bags, repacking their shopping, and keep looking at you so they know you are bloody waiting to just grab a pint of milk but they don't have any bloody rush about them!
(Yes, it happened yesterday, and yes, I'm still mad about the 5 minutes of my life I won't get back).

DH taking his socks off at night and dropping them on the floor every time. Dogs then take them under the bed etc. Then complaining he never has any socks. Taking a clean t shirt and undies, wearing a day and putting them in his pending basket then taking a fresh t shirt the next day etc. Pending items never get re worn, I have to sort them out when I put a wash on. Wash basket in plain sight in bedroom. MIL (lives with us) passive aggressive bullshit, I did the washing up 'for you'. Why for me, does no-one else use plates in this house?? And actually spending an hour washing some fucking cutlery and ignoring the pile of dishes by the sink because you didn't know who put them there is not washing up. On that note rinsing used pants through before putting them in the wash bin is not saving me time, the pants are not clean and still need washing! She's lovely actually, I'm just a pre menopausal crabby cow.

People who write "could of" instead of "could have" - and still don't understand why it's wrong!
