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.

Just thought of another.

when you have to leave your things in a communal locker room and people think they can just manhandle your stuff and shove it elsewhere. Fuck off.

Butt comes from buttocks and was first discovered in writings of the fifteenth century in England. It was taken to the US by the British. It reminds me of when Halloween is declared American.

Butt is ok. "Booty" is really cringe

(and I know people on here think "cringe" is really cringe too )

DH it did not take you ages to fall asleep, I know this because you were snoring within minutes, which then kept me awake.

I catch the bus from the train station - the first stop after the bus station - back home when I commute back from work. Apart from morons with a £20 note thinking the bus is some kind of mobile change machine, someone gets on the bus every day (usually but not always different people) and asks ‘Does this bus go the hospital?’. All buses that go to the hospital have the name of the hospital in big letters on the destination blind. There’s also a departure board and a detailed timetable, but no, they have to ask the driver, and then follow up questions asking if they go ‘near the hospital?’ or ‘what buses go there then, eh?’ - annoyed the destination of their choice is not immediately available.

You’re fat. But if I tell you this people will accuse me of fat-shaming. But really you’re shamefully fat.

@CableTidy I once worked with a women like that-she was a very nice lady- however obsessed with keeping everything. she had shelves full of folders. aswell as printing every single email she also kept every email filled away in her inbox. never deleted anything printed emails saying thank you 😊. then one day an email was sent around by head it they were looking a costs cuttings ,storage and printing was one of their starting points. they had a file of the top people and their storage and printing usage. my college was number one by a mile out of approx 900 staff. strict rules were sent out and if you didn't reduce your usage by a set date (which she didn't) you got pulled up by your manager and even sent on a training course for a day to better use your emails etc. she was mortified into changing her ways

People who stand on busy traffic crossings on the opposite side of the direction they’re travelling. Eg they stand on the left side of the crossing then get all huffy with people when they go to the right side of the road. Just stand on the correct side to start with ffs!!

Yes...I try and resist but sometimes a similar response escapes my lips😂

Bit harsh. I very rarely get the bus, and can get confused on which direction the bus is going, especially when the bus stops aren’t linear on a straight road and are spread across lots of smaller roads.

Your climbing plant that grows all the way over my fence into my low maintenance garden.
Your loud voice monopolises the back gardens on every summer day, mixed with your crap taste in loud music and your stinking pot smoke.
You encroaching over our drive. Yes we can still get in and our we are good drivers, but still there’s plenty of room for you not to do this and parking would be a nightmare in our cul-de-sac if we parked our three vehicles on the street.
An old one for me was ignoring your parcels because you were on night shift so they were delivered to my house disturbing my napping baby.
Taking days to come and collect the parcel that I kindly took in for you. (Not all the same neighbour).
Emphasising emphatically that you are doing me a favour when really I’m helping you out.
Collections for gifts that are dictated but not equal for everyone.
The one person in the group who always tries to dictate what everyone should do (where to go out, where to eat, how often to meet up etc.) not the helpful organiser one I like her, this is the dominating, overpowering one.
People who don’t say thank you when you hold the door open for them.
Adults who ignore my DC when they wave (when they were younger).
The list goes on and on. I don’t know how I get through the day without exploding. I must be really petty.

People who let their toddlers hoard toys at play time drop-in sessions, making zero effort to encourage sharing.

People trying to queue jump because they've got slightly fewer items. Fair enough to ask to go first if you've just got a bottle of cola or something, but if we both have baskets of shopping, it is rude to assume your time is more important than mine.

Charity chuggers who get affronted when you don't want to stop and talk to them.

Of course you can tell her!
mrs X gave me her space when she got rid of her car. It’s my space. Please don’t use it.

But why would you want to tell them? Do you also want to tell people they are too thin? Ugly? Short? Have bad teeth? Acne, Big nose? Pigeon chested? Etc…Or is it just fat people you like to be rude to?

If they don’t fit above then you have to - they are more of an obstruction in the aisle. And if you put them on a seat and stand then somebody will ask you to move them so they can have the seat.

I've been on busses where the driver has not changed the sign so it is still using the 'old' destination. Better to ask the question then end up in the wrong place and spend an hour waiting for a bus to the right place.

No, you can't have 5 full days of bereavement leave because your 98 year old grandad died peacefully in his sleep.

I don't believe you when you say that you need a few days to process things. You're a lazy waster who just wants extra days of paid leave. No one is relying on you to do anything related to your grandad's death or funeral. I know this because I have managed you for years and you are fundamentally and consistently unreliable.

Can't say it but god that would feel good.

What's the correct side?? I have never witnessed this phenomenon

People who don't have their purse ready at the till, then spend 5 minutes rooting around for it in a bag large enough to emigrate with! GET IT OUT IN THE BLOODY QUEUE!!!

And advise them that when they're older, they'll have a mouth looking like their arsehole! Really irritates me too.. why do it?

Sorry I wrote it and could see it was confusing!
so if standing at the crossing and someone wants to go to the left after crossing, I think they should stand on the left of the lights, not try and push past everyone going diagonally. Same if they’re going down the right side of the road, stand on the right! Otherwise they have to battle through people figuring out which way they’re going. I live in a big busy city- maybe its an over population thing smaller areas wouldn’t even think about.

And for the love of Odin/Ra/Sky Fairy/Richard Dawkins/whatever does it for you…please, if you’re going to use an online voucher, make sure it’s ready (and screenshot if necessary) BEFORE you get to the till. Don’t make us all sweat for twenty minutes while you wrestle with the shop’s dodgy WiFi to retrieve your means of payment.

Slow walkers....for goodness sake! Who has the time to amble down the street...get out the way!!

Yes especially the ones that look like a bow has just been stuck to their head, ridiculous!

Well, my goodness me. Thank you for telling me. I might not have realised that was the problem. I didn't know what it was on my body. (You're rude as fuck by the way.)
