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.

I've just remembered 'I'm excited for' instead of 'I'm excited about'. We're losing the battle on that one

Could you put some decorative rocks at intervals along the perimeter, or one of those low border markers?

I'm sat. I'm laid. NO YOU'RE FUCKING NOT. (Note the correct fucking you're which is short for you are...) You mean I AM SITTING. I AM LYING.

I had this, and one day... she gave it back! Hang in there.

Aren’t white RRs, along with white Mercs, the hallmark of ‘network marketing’ con artists like Forever Living and Younique?

@CountingMareep yes! white Mercs are often Arbonne. I’d expect entitled parking from people who feel entitled to rinse others in their MLM scheme.

🤣🤣l thought it was just me!!

Super as in 'super excited' or 'super nervous' why the feck can't people just be very instead of exaggerating themselves into super?

Also I'm hearing more people using the word floor instead of ground when referring to an outside space e.g. he fell to the floor on Main Street. No he didn't, he fell to the GROUND!

@Trez1510 The ground v floor thing, I’m glad its not just me! And there’s no such thing as prostrate cancer. The word is prostate.

'Parkray flooring' is another one.

I'm on holiday with a friend. She can be self-absorbed and I've really had to bite my tongue on occasion.
She has just gone and ordered herself a drink without asking if I'd like one. I'd never do that!

I've found my people!

Start doing it to her!

Anyone who asks the person behind the counter
’Can I get…’.

Grrr.

Seeing the names of the seasons written with a capital letter (unless it is at the start if a sentence, when it is obviously correct). Even more annoying is when bloody autocorrect changes the correct version to the incorrect version!

Yes, ridiculously petty, but the OP did ask.

Dont come to Scotland if " can I get" annoys you. It's standard use and always has been,not a new thing.
As is " the plants need watered" or " the cat wants in". Its a linguistic thing.

@Oldnproud

No!
Bugger. I do want to travel around west and north of Scotland too.

Then again the midges will sense I’m coming even before I cross the border.

Using bring instead of take 😩😖

Drives me mad but I can't say it out loud. If I ask my mum how she is when she has a cold or is just getting over one, she'll go into a dramatic performative coughing fit before she answers me in a very faint, brave but wobbly voice. It doesn't matter that we have already chatted normally for 10 minutes with no hint of a cold or sore throat in her voice. I actually avoid asking her how she is as it winds my up so badly. When she is genuinely poorly she will refuse to see a doctor because they work so hard and she doesn't want to waste their time. That also winds me up.

If you’ve got a seriously colossal arse, and like to wear thin, skin-tight tights or leggings, it might be considerate to wear a longer than waist-length top - say at least crotch-length - so that innocent passers by don’t have to witness every ripple and wobble of your bum. Thank you.

Look at something else?

Please dear person in front of me in sainsburys be more bloody organised next time. I am watching you rummage in your handbag pulling crap out whilst the queue is getting longer and longer while you search for your purse.Oh you have found it! Took you 4 mins,so slow..thing is you know you will have to pay for your shopping so why not get your card out whilst unpacking the trolley? No you keep us all waiting whilst you take your sweet time..my piss is boiling if you turn around to look at my face you would know that.

Someone I once knew used to put on a really ridiculous posh voice, she came from exactly the same place that I did. She once told a story in THE voice of how her son had to sit next to the cleaner from his school whilst on a bus. Did you forget Smithy that you once did laundry at the hospital? So do not look down your nose at anyone else’s job, because apart from washing sweat, snot, & 💩 out at the hospital, you’ve never worked. Perhaps that’s why you have a look on your face like you can smell 💩 all the time.

This. Have your bloody card in your hand and finish packing after the payment’s been processed if you must. And don’t spend ages putting your bloody card back and zipping your handbag up, stick it in your pocket until you’re outside.

There is a house down the road from me that has a big drive and has been up for sale for ages. It is on the end of a terrace of 4 houses that were built at the same time. They all sold for £500k ish. They are massively overpriced, but that's another storey. Then the housing market crashed and the end one with a big drive didn't sell. A year later and the price has dropped to £400k. But it won't seem to sell. Anyway, my petty thing is that I've noticed that the neighbours have now started to use the drive as if it's their own!!

This has zero barring on my life but for some reason the cheeky fuckerness of this really pisses me off!!
