Ridiculously petty things that you can’t even say out loud

[TheSlowRush]

I’ll start.

This has been bugging me all day but I can’t say it out loud to anyone as it’s really not that bigger deal.

Parking is a huge issue where I live, not many people have ORP.

My elderly neighbour got rid of her car a few years ago, we are quite close and she has a driveway, so it was agreed that I could now park over her driveway meaning I am pretty much guaranteed a space right outside my house, rather than having to park halfway down the street.

My lodger has now begun using this space, she works from home a lot too so it’s there for days now sometimes. WAAAaa 🙈🙈.

I can say anything as I will sound like a selfish loon.

That was in response to the post about the smiling for photos with toenails slightly poking out

Tongue!!

@OldTinHat you should leave a note on the windscreen. That would give me the rage too!

She gaslighted you

@2021x The aks/arks thing gives me rage too 😡

Evri delivery person rings doorbell, I interrupt my phone call to answer the door, she's not ready to give me the parcel and says "hang on, I just need to take a picture first"

Why. Didn't. You. F-ing. Do. That. While. I. Was. Coming. To. The. Door.

Too petty to actually say.

My neighbours over the road with SIX cars! They live right on a junction and they don't have a drive, only a double garage and they park like dicks. It used to just be 4 cars between 4 adults, and none of them were kept in the garage. But the dad has recently bought himself two hobby cars that live in the garage overnight, during the day he has either one or both out on the street working on them so on a weekend the street is ridiculously busy!

People holding their cutlery the American way. It’s like fingernails down a blackboard to me. Can’t explain it but it would honestly put me off living in America. The way they cack- handedly cut up their food like you would for a toddler and then hold their fork in a moronic way. Urregghh shudder.

Because they don't know if you're coming to the door until you open it. They have to take a photo of it delivered, not waiting to be accepted.

I'll say parking across dropped kerbs too. I'm not disabled, but often need to push a double buggy one handed while I deal with a baby in a sling with the other hand and the repeated slopes caused by dropped kerbs, as well as the fact that they indicate an additional hazard to watch when a child is walking are a pain in the neck.

So if nothing else it seems like it would be a fair payoff that pedestrians should be owed a break in the row of parked cars from time to time either to cross or to get past another pavement user or far too often to have a chance to get around a vehicle that's parking on the pavement. As previously mentioned, that's going to be doubly important for wheelchairs that can't get through at all without using dropped kerbs.

The neighbours who have 3 cars and insist on parking the shittiest one outside our house and never move it (we’re in a terrace and all on street parking)

Our cleaner who appears to have an aversion to moving things and cleaning underneath them

my team at work who have not grasped the concept that you don’t need to do a reply all to general info emails - thanks Bob, I don’t need to see 40 versions of ‘welcome to the team Sue!’

I work with autistic children and have to hear about their hyper fixations all day, every day for years.

When they ask me to guess what their favourite thing is in my head I’m crying saying I don’t care!! But then I have to smile and pretend I’m really interested.

I sometimes have to go into the staff room and rant about how I don’t give a shit about X and others do too but I’d never say this in RL to someone who does work/live with autistic people.

Some of them change their fixations which isn’t so bad but there are some that have loved the same thing for years and I wonder how do their parents cope. I’ve got other students who I need to sort and go home at the end of the day etc but their parents must hear about it literally everyday and the holidays must be exhausting!

Teeth brushing is to be done AT THE BATHROOM SINK (downstairs) not walking around so I hear the scoosh scoosh noise and smell the awful toothpaste (my problem for disliking mint). And that's before I think of you flirting tooth brushy spit all over the shop

IT.DRIVES.ME.MAD

People coming over to chat to you when you are working late. Yeah, I am lingering here until 7pm just in the hope that we could have catch up about your week’s gripes…

People who use the wrong 'Bear' it really winds ne up and I have no idea why!!

This is funny. Your colleague is delusional -no one will read them 🙈

It also makes the trolley harder to push! So annoying! Haha

When we stay with MiL or she stays with us, she'll give a running commentary on her morning routine and it's always exactly the same. 'I've just put the oil on my face', 'The oil's soaked in now so I'm going to put xyz on now'. This continues until her routine is finished and we get a full description of every step. At night it goes 'I've cleaned my face and now I'm going to put the oil on' followed by an account of brushing her teeth.

She does the same with the medications she takes. 'There, I've had breakfast so now I can take drug #1' and this continues throughout the day until all drugs have been taken. It drives me mad.

And, for the love of god, please stop saying 'Good moaning' in a silly voice every single day!!!

Ask them to move.

Every time I see aloud written when it should be allowed. It irrationally grates on me…..

Are you bloody thick? Lift the fucking fish up and put salt and vinegar on the chips underneath it too.

To every single person at the front of every shopping queue ever:

You have been standing in line waiting to pay for your shopping for several minutes. In that time did it not occur to you that you would actually have to pay for the shopping? In which case why the Hell don't you have your money or card in your hand ready to pay? Nobody wants to wait for a minute or so while you dig through your disgusting pocket or handbag full of snot rags for some means of payment.

Minus several million points for the people who give a simpering 'Ha ha aren't I silly' look to the fuming queue behind them and a laser powered deathstare to the ones who quaintly observe 'Oh I have to pay?' you aren't nearly as funny as you think you are.

I'm a stupid pedant... When people write 'bare with me' ie 'get naked with me' instead of 'bear with me', I want to swallow my tongue! And don't even get me started on 'their' and 'there' etc. I mainly taught primary school children and it's left its mark.

Disabled bays marked out on the road outside your house are not exclusively for the person who applied for it and in fact sometimes if too many disabled people apply in a very small area the council will space the bays out around the immediate area.
Any disabled person can use them.
In most councils ( and I do mean most ) they are advisory only so anyone can park in them.
However if someone without a blue badge parks in them they can be asked to make way for a disabled person but this is not the case in councils where the spaces are advisory only.

So the space you applied for outside your house as it does not sit on your land but on public land is not exclusive to you.
