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.

Then you need to stand. You can’t inconvenience other travellers.

People spelling kerb wrong 😁

The slap-slap-slap sound of people’s feet in flip-flops when they’re shuffling around drives me nuts.

This isn't petty, at all. You need to tell her how much it inconveniences you. If she still does it then can you have her car towed? Even reading that is infuriating, the inconsideration of some people is just baffling. What a selfish, selfish woman.

Sorry, just realised I've assumed it was a woman when you didn't say it was, so I'd like to change to 'selfish person' (I wish I could edit).

When there are plenty of empty seats? You would just stand?

It's absolutely commonplace to have luggage at your feet on the trains I get - although that may be because I live very close to Gatwick Airport. Nobody bats an eyelid I assure you.

Going to the supermarket doesn't need to be a family outing.

I work 37 hours a fucking week. I’m currently doing the jobs of at least 3 senior HR managers. No I bloody can’t write a pointless fucking paper for a pointless committee when we have already been directed by others on what to do.

This makes no sense

Why specifically a table of 4?

This was inspired by me barely having space for me feet as the opposite person had a suitcase under the table... this wasxan LNER train fully booked out today. It was more about taking up someone else's space than the bag.

@OldTinHat you absolutely need to tell this neighbour that the disabled space is there for you, and very officially so. This isn't one of these awkward unreasonable conversations to have. You simply say that the space was designated and painted in by the Council, allocated to you and your disabled badge which has to be displayed.

Put it to her that that if her car is parked in it she might well get a parking ticket

@Eudaimonia5 I’m so with you! I’m doing a pgdip as an nhs apprenticeship. Nick the dick as we call him loves to tell us he’s already got 2 masters and he loves learning about leadership. I can’t think of anyone I’d hate more to be my manager. He actually spoke to the lecturer at our last face to face session to say “please say no to me if I’m sharing too much because I struggle I stop myself.” (I assume someone said something at some point). He often just repeats back what the lecturer said so if course the lecturer replies “yes, absolutely!” Well, duh!!! Every time he opens his mouth I want to punch him.

his name isn’t actually Nick but we thought it was so we’ve kept the private nickname.

@Madamecholetsbonnet you put bags bigger than the over head space in the larger luggage space where suitcases go or day your feet in a normal seat, under the table needs space for the legs of other passengers.

To be fair it is actually illegal to park across any dropped kerb including your own but I do get parking issue frustrations.

Mine is don’t stand in front of the open and close fridges in Aldi picking up each pack of chicken and turning it over to read the labels. It’s chicken, it contains chicken, just pick one and let the next person in!

Take your kids and their dirty shoes out of the shopping trolley!

The way my friend pokes her tongue slightly between her teeth for every single photo.
For some unknown reason it Winds. Me. Up!!!
And everyone else who does it too!!

Queueing to board a plane when a group of passengers give all the passports and boarding cards to one person. Then the agent letting people on have to watch them up and say right who is Peter, who is Mary etc. Heck's sake HOLD YOUR OWN DOCUMENTS!!!!!

This gives me the major ick too - no idea why.

When people say they have been gaslighted instead of gaslit.

People who stick their tongue out for a photo. Grow up.

People constantly using the term gaslighting incorrectly.
Irritates me quite irrationally, to the degree I have recently rewatched the film to check if I had it wrong.

I volunteer for you, I have been doing a while. I don't expect you to give me the job but it's entry level, I know I met the criteria. It's actually hurtful of you not to have given me an interview. I will leave and no doubt you'll be nodding away that you "knew" I was a quitter.

Look up Egg Corns on YouTube!

I do this and I do NOT know why!
