Silly things than annoy you

[Nottodaythanku]

just a light hearted one..little things that annoy you.

I will go first…

going out for a meal with a friend tonight and still having to cook for kids before you go

your turn.😛

Going to the gym and a group of men hang around the next piece of equipment. They watch their friend and offer words of encouragement like "do it, do it, do it" or "work that burger off man" and "give it, give it bro."
Oh do fuck off and let me work out in peace without a running commentary.
Also people who drop the weights on floor or clunk drop the stationary machine weights.

When asking a member of staff something (any staff, e.g. shop assistants, railway station staff, bank tellers, customer service people etc) and they just answer your exact question without offering any further useful information. E.g.

"Hi, can I pick up my tickets here?"
"No."

(Rather than: "no, you have to go round the corner to the next desk" etc)

I don't know if I'm being unreasonable or not but it really annoys me to have to ask the obvious next question ("Where should I go then?" "When will it be open?" "How do I fix it?" etc) instead of them just bloody telling me 🤣

hello! I’m definitely still very full of life and joy don’t worry! It’s the reason why it’s such a silly annoyance, because I hold no bitterness really and I am loving life, but that small side of me would like to be petty every now and again!

I know it's probably regional or a class thing, but people who use 'ignorant' to mean 'ill-mannered'.

Worse are people who write 'women' when they mean 'woman' or vice-versa.

Grammar pedants on here ! They need to get over the facts that languages evolve, some posters may struggle with language due to dyslexia , gaps in their education or that English is not their first language!
They just need to stick to pedants corner and stop correcting posters elsewhere!!

Stupid stickers that don’t come off things properly and packaging that’s impossible to open . They make my dyspraxic hands ache !!

Should probably see a doctor about that...

It helps to actually look at the little screen and wait for the big green tick?

A colleague once said she literally died of cold waiting for the bus, and I got a (literally) blank look for saying 'so how come you're here then?'

DH watching videos on his phone with sound on.
Noisy eating.
Parents letting kids watch cartoons/play computer games in restaurants without using headphones.

Adults who post pictures of plated meals and an alcoholic drink. Just fuck off most of us have had a fancy meal and a glass of wine by the time we are 25 years old
Ditto similar irritation with adults who attention seek. Anywhere.

Dh asking on a nice day, so what are we doing?

You tell me for once

Also card machines that don't beep when the payment goes through and card machines that don't show you the amount.

(And Sainsbury's self checkouts in general, although they actually aren't guilty of the two things above!)

Oh I hate the coat hanger thing.
Also when you inadvertently create a domino effect by taking something out of the cupboard or lifting it from a shelf/ table and in the process, it knocks into other things which in turn knock over other things and everything falls over.
Hate that.

And 'he's written as 'his'. Just awful.

That sucker pad on my bath scrunchie rope that has the ability to stick so fast it has me literally dragging it round the shower tray trying to get it to unrealease.

Plastic bottle caps attached to bottle necks! I pull or snip every one off. Utterly stupid idea!

Just had this with a company about a catflap. They must have splashed out lots on an online ad campaign. I click the link and message with what I need and would it possible (odd door).

They just reply 'hi, yeah'.

I write back for a quote, what info they need, how to get things started etc.

They reply with just 'Need to see to quote'.

OK...I send all the info I could imagine they need and ask for a quote to the nearest £100.

They reply with 'Will need to see it'.

I've just left it because I'm already pissed off. I don't want them to creep and crawl to me but what is the point in paying for advertising just to let a genuine customer go. If they'd offered to book a visit- some times/dates etc maybe even a hello they would have had my money by now. I felt like a pest to them.

When it rains solidly for a whole day but my garden is still bone dry the next day and needs gallons of water. My 'garden' being a terrace with pots. Haha.

When you open a new box of paracetamol/ibuprofen at the ‘wrong’ end and the folded paper leaflet thing is in the way 😡
This always happens to me😂

'Literally?'

I'll bet it don't 😜

Flimsy vegetable drawers in fridges and freezers.

People who answer just the first question in an email which contains two equally important questions.

Trying to unwrap the plastic off wrapped water bottles or cans of beer or pop.

Grrrrr, yes, why is it seemingly impossible to open them any other way, although logically speaking, we should get it the right way around at least 50% of the time?!

Endless need for passwords to do absolutely anything on the internet and having to re-enter everything if you change your computer.

People who sit in the aisle seat on a packed commuter train and don’t move up when you go to sit down.

People who walk three abreast holding hands on the pavement.

People watching videos on their phones on a bus or train without headphones all deserve a special place in hell.

I seen it
I done it.

People you let out in traffic who don't say thank you.
