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 😉😂

Oh shit you were joking weren't you... sorry @LaPerduta

People doing a big supermarket shop and then going through the self service area when they haven’t scanned as they’ve gone round. Takes longer than going to a manned till and means big queues build up.

My DH sniffing. Almost like it's just his normal breathing in sometimes. A double sniff. Sniff sniff. It's just a phase but my god it's driving me fucking insane. Right now. Sat here. Want to rip my ears off. Feel if I mention it it might make it worse though so leaving it for now. HELP ME. Also. Loud eating noises, breathing in loudly whilst taking a sip of a drink. Noises obviously for me

Both oriented and orientated can be used in these sentences. However, in common usage, oriented is preferred. The word orientated is a meaningless variation on the word, and it is most likely the result of people thinking that " orientated " is the past verb form of the noun "orientation." Instead, the verb form is oriented.

Should of , could of, would of....
No no no
Should have, could have, would have
Or
Should've, could've, would've

Oh yes. The slightly hysterical over use of exclamation marks too!!!! Everyone is doing it all the time and it does my head in!!!! So dramatic!!! I've even seen people comment on social media when someone has lost a loved one and ended the sentence with exclamation marks or written 'RIP!!'

People driving down the middle of the road as well and then looking put out or even angry when they have to move over to the correct side.

For those logicians on 'railway station' telling me that it is the train that moves or alternatively is stationary and why is a bus station not a road, have you ever heard of travelling by rail, sea, air (I don't actually put on wings when I 'fly' or 'catch my flight') or of the expression 'rail travel' or a rail card?
You've reminded me a shop near me has a sign reading STATIONARY - which could be another annoyance, and a bus station can be a road all day long. I don't care. But thankfully my town still has 'the station' meaning the splendid railway station, and bus stops. Not road stops, you'll notice.

Here it is explained

That's the whole point!

😂😂😂
This had me laughing out loud AND made me realize how petty I am! Much needed, I'm sure. I'll try to be a better person going forward 😂

DH being unable to decide whether he'll want food when he gets back home or while he's out on a day's jolly, then being astonished on arrival at a random time to find there's no magic plate of hot food waiting to be eaten at his convenience. Don't mind the indecision. Do mind the expectation of magic food that appears effortlessly and without notice on request.

@LaPerduta Brilliant!! 😆It's my pet peeve too. Can't tell you how many 'dinning tables' I've seen for sale on local FB pages..I answer a LOT of complaint emails in my job and the utter crap that people write just amazes me.

My DP driving SO slowly. 23mph in a 30 zone, for no reason at all. 15mph along our road 'in case there are children' at 11pm???
Ironically he's got 9 points on his licence for speeding.....

Oh , and women (it's always women) who hold up something to their mouths to eat and just use their forefinger and thumb and keep all other fingers bolt upright then keep passing it ( burger, chip, sandwich, panini etc...) from one forefinger and thumb to the next forefinger and thumb.
No other fingers can touch the food .
Yet they barely seem to eat it.

Out of date posters for past events

People, usually women brushing their hair in a cafe. They'll whip out the brush and give their hair a good going over.

People setting their carrier bags/hats on the table in a cafe. DH, I'm looking at you!

Thought of another more. DH making a haroop sound when he's eating soup. People snorting the snot up their nose instead of blowing it, or sniff, sniff, sniff.

People burping and breathing the smell of the contents of their stomach over me.

Parents who just stop in the road, in front of the school gates, let the kids out and then watch them meander through the gates. Whilst those of us who bothered to arrive early and need to get to work, wait for them to move…eeeeeeeee

I don’t understand this. What do you mean it’s not food safe, no one is eating the stuff?

Ha! Can relate to so many of these!

Mine is when people write on the local Fb page posts like
'to the silver Mercedes that overtook me / nearly ran me over / didn't give way etc etc'. Like the driver is ever going to comment and say oh yeah, sorry that was me. Sorry I'm a terrible driver! 🙄
And, when people put their hand up to thank you on a roundabout! You don't have to thank me, I HAVE to give way to you!

When parents speak to me like I’m being paid (usually like I’m shit) after looking after their kid in a uniformed group.

Dh not putting Ds to bed on time. DS is ready for bed but dh is still busy on his phone so ds is of course happily playing. I'm feeding the baby and quietly seething. Well quietly sending dh passive aggressive messages. FFS it's 8.30. he does the same on weekdays but then complains when ds is too tired to eat his breakfast quickly or to get ready quickly. He's just setting him up for failure. What an asshole.

Problem is when I put ds to bed ds takes ages to fall asleep so doesn't get more sleep either.

Doorbells. It's when you go up to a house, ring the doorbell but you don't t hear it ring. You are now wracked with anxiety and don't know how long to wait until you try knocking instead. Hideous.

When you ask someone if they'd like sugar in their tea and they say, "no thanks" (insert tense pause here), "I'm sweet enough!" Bugger off!

Eddie Redmayne.

Just about all packaging on any product I buy, and lots at work too.

Noisy eaters, I can avoid them at home, but at work it takes every nerve not to react to the spoon suckers, tea slurpers and loud masticaters, we have a couple who are Olympic standard !

Men in work vans who think its clever to drive just over the white line at you, I have a shit car and more insurance than you can shake a stick at, bring it on ! I don't give way even when I can see the whites of their slightly terrified eyes

Most of the Government, they are depressingly small in so many annoying ways.
