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 😉😂

DH talking loudly when there's no need. Also, he's started turning the radio volume up far too loud.
DS on his PS4 and expecting me to want to talk about football 24/7 when I just don't care.

Very annoying.

When you've put hot food down in serving bowls on the table and ask people to serve themselves while you finish off the gravy/crackling/garnish and the dumb fucks just sit there gormlessly no matter how many times you encourage them to get stuck in. It's like they think they're being polite by not being the first person to take something, but it's infuriating that they then start servinh themselves when you get to the table so you can't serve yourself immediately and the food gets colder and colder and colder!

And on the topic of food temperature, my partner without fail will dig his fork into the very hottest bit in the middle of his food, burn his mouth and look surprised, then continue to take food from the deepest, hottest bit in the middle and theatrically blow it from all angles, whilst the bits round the edges of his plate get colder and colder and colder 😤🤯

Mine will circle the car park many times to get as close to the store as possible. By the time we've parked we could have nearly done the shopping! It drives me nuts.

Buying coffee for over £3 and it's not hot. Just warmish.
People who park trollies messily in the supermarket trolley park, not economising on space.
People who say marsh mellow
😳

When my two were younger I had many a row about swimming lessons and people reserving the cubicles with clothes so everyone else had to change in the open area. I used to dump their clothes outside near the lockers they should have been using. Makes me mad now thinking about it 😡 fuckers.

People who don’t wash their cups up in the office. It is your job, people leaving them with the assumption the cleaner will do them really hacks me off.

Loud and helicopter parenting. Darling Florence might be able to count to 100/see the digger/want the brioche for breakfast, literally no one else cares so why some parents speak in such a loud tone to get the attention of everyone around them is beyond me.

People who can’t comprehend the idea of going somewhere and not having an alcoholic drink.

People who tell a story and constantly worry about details which are superfluous to it. And have to confer with a person familiar to the story. I understand locations are important but the exact minute details are pointless and bore me to just switch off from it altogether. Grumpy I know.

People who walk slow

People who don't understand that the NHS isn't actually free.

When I'm watching TV and the whole show or film is people shouting.

Yeah. I always frown and say, “Can we sit over there please?” with a wave of my arm towards a distant table, and the staff member always looks amazed that we don’t want to practically sit on the other diners’ laps, but demurs. Re exclamation marks .... my DH does this in his texts and it’s very, very annoying....and those who write like this.........instead of one full stop......or a capital letter starting a new sentence.........and worse still, never using paragraphs......so it’s just dots.......

And on the topic of food temperature, my partner without fail will dig his fork into the very hottest bit in the middle of his food, burn his mouth and look surprised, then continue to take food from the deepest, hottest bit in the middle and theatrically blow it from all angles, whilst the bits round the edges of his plate get colder and colder and colder 😤🤯

I’m crying 🤣

I am like you. I can't stand the sound of tutting, loud eating and kissing/blowing raspberries (a lot of mouth noises). It's more than just an ick, it really makes me irrationally want to punch something.

People who park in parent and child spaces without a child. Parents, especially those with prams, need the space to get baby out the car seat!

Poor spelling.

I second those who answer calls during medical consultations. I don't mind it generally but don't take forever on the phone please. I'm on a timed clinic here...

Oh christ be easier to say what doesn't annoy me.

People pointing at items in a shop using a walking stick just as you're trying to pass them.
3 couples congregating for a catch up usually in m&s food aisles.
Outside lane of a motorway doing 60mph.
People standing too close to you in a queue.
Someone spitting in the street.
To name but a few......

Dh sleeping. I have insomnia and he can fall asleep at the drop of a hat, and the bastard Does It On Purpose. Then he snores - just to make absolutely sure I know he is having a lovely sleep.

Dh furkling in his ears because the wax is irritating him. I don’t mind during the day or at night if we are both awake, but he does it in his sleep and the bed shakes as if there’s an earthquake, it goes on for bloody ages, and there I am awake again. It doesn’t wake him up - he is still fast asleep. On purpose.

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

Also, a more recent one, in freezing weather, seeing little girls with thick coats on but just leggings on their legs and tiny shoes. They must be freezing!

Then they glare at you if their dear sprog bumps into you and falls over, they look at you as though you're Johnnie Wilkinson going for a drop kick.

I always find it amusing how the MN generally demonises the DM yet almost everyone knows what's in it! Years ago candidates for admission to Sandhurst were asked what papers they read, Times and Telegraph being the usual answers yet in the Officers' Messes it was the Sun, Mirror and DM that were most read!

The road sign 'Road liable to flooding' always sounds wrong to me, I think it shoud be Road liable to flood or Road prone to flooding.

Oh god this drives me mad. Especially if you're still in your car just getting your bag or whatever, just about to open the door to get out and someone parks right up next to you so you have to wait for them before you can get out when there is a million other spaces 🤦🏻‍♀️

And syrup tart sounds wrong, syrup and breadcrumb tart even 'wronger'.

Idiots using extending dog leads on pavements, dog runs into the road, gets run over. Saw this the other week, dog belted off to see his pal just as cars moved off at a crossing, cue yelping and people running all over the place. Poor dog.

Also dog runs on opposite side of road with extending lead and owner on other side, car drives along into the lead and takes dog with it. We narrowly missed doing this too.

Extending leads should be banned on pavements/roads and used only in open spaces that are fenced off.

Motion activated security lights on the front of houses that I keep switching on by walking past on the bleddy pavement 😠

Theatrical yawning or sneezing.

By which I mean adding unnecessary vocal flourishes and/or volume.

People who dart through the lift doors just as they are closing making the doors open again thereby delaying the lift. Extra stink eye if this then allows ANOTHER fucker to perform the same manoeuvre.

Ah, the roadworks sign you've just reminded me of: ADVANCED WARNING.

It's ADVANCE WARNING.

And the road marking at the pedestrian crossing: LOOK BOTHWAYS.
It's BOTH WAYS.

You can line them with old newspapers! Plus, why does it have to be food safe? You're not going to eat the scraps?
