To ask what irritating things do you unashamedly do?

[ChilliHealer]

I'll go first. I love puzzles. Every time I get a piece that fits I'll celebrate with three little taps on the piece with my fingernail. Every time. It must be infuriating to witness.

I also crack my toes and wrist joints which does drive dh crazy. I do my best not to in his presence, so not exactly done unashamedly..

my sister has a habit of tapping her finger nails tap tap tap tap it drives me mad

helpfully my kids have been telling me all the ways I annoy them

-bring any subject back to whether they’ve done their homework
-every time anyone mentions genes or DNA I hit them with the shared banana DNA ‘fact’
-going on and on and on about people leaving stuff lying about while leaving stuff lying about

that’s me told 😬

Hi my late MIL too!

Guilty as charged, well over 70 too.
When reading about how horrible we boomers are and how we should give up our homes to go and live in a tent, and all the other anti-boomer comments, I sit here and think how lucky we were to be such annoying people!

You'll be called 'smug', enjoy it, that will annoy a certain type of whiner.

I yawn loudly. It’s so obnoxious but I don’t realise until I’ve done it.

I retired in my early 50s and have no intention of ever going back to work.

I have an irrestible urge to rearrange dishwashers. It's like a compulsion especially when it comes to the cutlery section - why anyone would not seperate the knives, forks, spoons into each section so they can be emptied properly & quickly baffles me!

It drives my partner mad - he just chucks things in any old way and thinks I'm bonkers.

Very relaxed about everything else.

Because he doesn't know where it lives. I don't blame him! 😂😂

WTF are you scratching? If it's your crotch/arse/armpits then no is the answer to your question. 😷

According to my boss, have a look she herself can't look at when someone is spilling bullshit.

I do this. My new years resolution this year was to stop so I'm really working on it

Me too. I'm getting very upset about it because I really don't do it on purpose.

I interrupt people. I’m terrible for it. I don’t mean to so I guess it’s not unashamedly

I also burp a lot, quite loudly

You ok?

I unintentionally steal pens.

But only nice pens like uni-balls.

If you've lost a pen, it's probably in my bag.

• Tut alot (according to DH).
• Overshare, like a couple of PPs, and then cringe about it for days.
• Lots of beige/freezer meals, as one veggie, one pescatarian, one fussy and one ok, so often different meals from the freezer and frozen veg as can't be arsed to make from scratch three or four different meals.
• Room-clearing wind

tell bad jokes

break into song

if there is a phrase spoken, at work, or a name, there is bound to be a song related!

If my mouth isn’t saying it, then my face definitely is. My dh is always saying my facial expressions are off the scale 😂🤷🏼‍♀️

Similarly to @UnctuousUnicorns, I can't relax if the volume on the TV is an odd number. Luckily, DH has cottoned on and if one of the kids changes it, he'll amend it for me, without me having to announce my weirdness to everyone in the room!

In a similar vein, when I'm reading I always have to pause on pages which are a multiple of 100, to make a proper note in my head of having registered the page number. If I get carried away and don't notice page 200 (for example), it doesn't feel like I've properly "finished" the book at the end. I do have mild OCD, but these are a couple of things which although they don't bother me hugely, definitely make me feel a bit "wrong" if I don't do them.

I used to spend ages fiddling with the balance control on the stereo amplifier when listening to a CD to make it exactly in the middle, so one speaker wouldn't be 'louder' than the other. Then it went kaput (was old) and we got a new one. The balance knob had a sort of 'notch' in the central position so that cured me of fiddling. Then I got obsessed with the bass and treble tone controls that also had notches for the 'flat' position (no boost or cut). Did the bass sound a bit thumpy? Cut the bass a bit. Did the treble sound a bit screechy? Cut that. Did either sound a bit thin? Boost it. Then not sure. Put it all back to 'flat'. Leave it alone for the sake of my MH, and because half the CD had played and I hadn't really heard it. Imagine my horror when I dusted behind the stereo setup and found that the left speaker was plugged into the socket for the right one, and vice versa, and had been for months. The fact that neither me nor husband had noticed convinced me to just stop worrying about the whole business. At least I am not like my husband's friend who has special wires that have gold in them or something, that cost £500.

<nods along while moving a fork from the teaspoon compartment to the one for forks>

oh no, the dishwasher cutlery needs to be random, i read, so they get cleaned properly and dont stick together, in my house!

Performance sneezes is me! no choice in the matter but never just one or two sneezes and loud even if I stifle them (by the 5th one I give up!) 😂

And don't get me started on my DH putting dessert spoons in upside down! 😱 😤
