It's 'myriad' ... not 'a myriad of.'

There were myriad colours in the display.

Not...'There were a myriad of colours in the display.'

People who get up from their table at cafes/ restaurants/fast food places, push out their chair then casually walk a fucking way meaning that a queue of people have to stop while some one else pushes the bastard chair in.

Dog shit on pavements. Don’t get me started.

People on trains who put music or a phone call… on loud speaker.
It enrages me. I want to grab the phone and throw the fucker.

flapjackfairy · 04/03/2023 17:32

people with those bloody awful v loud exhausts on their cars . They love to make as much noise as possible and the noise really triggers me. I wish they would ban them

LividNC · 04/03/2023 17:34

Absolute scrubbers eating in restaurants of the up-to-Nando’s price bracket, with their outdoor coats on.

I want to throw chicken at them.

Mischance · 04/03/2023 17:35

Dogs loose in cars.

GoodChat · 04/03/2023 17:36

Parents who park up with their toddlers napping in the car then open the window a smidge and light up a cigarette.

Just get out the fucking car!

Indigoshift · 04/03/2023 17:38

People who hog the aisle in supermarkets walking 2 across.

MrsWojadobakowsky · 04/03/2023 17:38

Calling treacle tart 'treacle' when it is actually not made with treacle and never has been, it is made of syrup but has always been called treacle tart.

ClaraThePigeon · 04/03/2023 17:40

People who say "What's not to like?"It makes me positively murderous.

People referring to 3 and 4 year olds as toddlers.

Crispymandm · 04/03/2023 17:42

I don’t know why but slowness.
slow walking
slow talking
slow at getting to the point
slow at completing tasks.
I have no idea why I am in such a rush but it can really irritate me.

daffodilday · 04/03/2023 17:42

People who go up to supermarket or cafe cashiers while talking on their phone. So rude

Silverbook · 04/03/2023 17:42

Faffers
people who queue in the supermarket only to be surprised when they reached the till are asked to pay and start the long rummage in their bag.
People who walk while looking down, texting and expect everyone else to move.

Please explain 😅Is it their outdoor coats that annoy you ?

LumpyandBumps · 04/03/2023 17:46

Going into an almost empty restaurant and being seated right next to the only occupied table.

It's 'railway stations'. 'Train stations' is American.' Copying everything American is an annoyance.

you can understand why though, when you search for information and it comes up with ‘train stations’

I work in retail so most people annoy me all the time for one reason or another. Can identify with almost everything on the thread so far apart from Train stations ( you're not going to get on a 'rail'), the waste bin ( might need that explained to me) and outdoor coat scrubbers in Nando's.

But it is the train that is stationary

GotABeatForYouMama · 04/03/2023 17:53

Current one (I'm sure something else will up the grump-o-meter by next week), people who ask if I have seen a particular tv show/film etc and, when I reply that I haven't because it's not something that interests me, they insist on telling me the plot/twist/all about the characters. What part of "I'm not really into that genre, it doesn't interest me" do they not fucking understand??

WonderingWanda · 04/03/2023 17:53

When there is a huge expanse of beach and people come and sit right in front of or next to you ruining your view and the peace and quiet.

Cosyblankets · 04/03/2023 17:53

When you're in a queue and the staff say are you OK instead of next please. I want to say yes I'm fine thanks how are you

SlouchingTowardsBethlehemAgain · 04/03/2023 17:55

Absolute arseholes who cycle with their poor fucking dogs on a lead.
Cunts who park on the grass verge.
Twats on their phones who can't walk in a straight line.
Selfish parents who let their primary age kids scoot to school getting in the way of every other poor fucker going about their business.

outdoor coat scrubbers in Nando's. I don't know why but this made me laugh out loud.

I know "railway station" is correct (my BIL is a train - or do I mean rail? - driver and this is one of his wife's bugbears) but then surely a bus station should a "road station"?

CharlotteStreetW1 · 04/03/2023 18:01

Anyway my current annoyance is Jeremy Vine and his holier-than-thou cycling tweets.

As if his radio show wasn't enough.

BucketHatCrew · 04/03/2023 18:08

Pavement hoggers

People who block the aisles in the supermarket with their trollies, then look at you like you’ve done something wrong if you say excuse me or gently move their trolly out of the way.

Dog walkers who let their dogs off the lead in public places.

People who are crap at parking and park as close as possible to me so I can’t get my dcs out of their seats properly. You suck.

MissingMoominMamma · 04/03/2023 18:09

Whistlers. I get really anxious and angry!
