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.😛

The automated checkout telling me 'Please take your items' when I've only just paid, especially when I'm using the trolley checkout with a full shop and it tells me repeatedly whilst I'm actively engaged in taking my items.

Alright, fucking hell, give me a chance!

I've started flicking the Vs at the one in our local morrisons

Male joggers huffing out their breath loudly into my air area as they go thudding past "HUUUUFF HUUUUFFF HUFFFF HUFFFF", urgh.

Got a tip for that. If you feel along the box for the date (it’s usually slightly raised) That’s the end where the instructions will be. Open the other end.

But that is literally the definition if you care to look it up.

Every.Single.Time!!

Just seen this is a resurrected thread!

• Dogs on extendable leads — stop pretending you’re controlling your dog when it’s just clotheslined me!
• Walk-and-texters — if you’re on your phone, move to the side instead of shuffling along like a hunchbacked zombie
• Middle/third lane hogs — if you’re not overtaking, fucking move.

Well, literally kind of...

Oxford English Dictionary 2nd Ed.

Ignorant (adjective)

1. a.A.1.a Destitute of knowledge, either in general or with respect to a particular fact or subject; unknowing, uninformed, unlearned.

[...]

  5.A.5 <strong>dial.</strong> and <strong>colloq.</strong> Ill-mannered, uncouth.
¶Sometimes written as<span class="italic"> iggerant </span>in imitation of vulgar speech. 

Dialect and colloquial.

So we're both right...

I'm a writer (author). On hearing what I do, nine times out of ten the answer is 'oh, I'm going to write a book one day/when I've got time.'
Gets old very very fast. Next time someone tells me what they do I'm going to tell them that I'm going to do that one day, when I've got time...

Why would it annoy you then if it is a recognised definition of the word?

If I travel with my DH he is constantly telling me what to do. He will tell me eat terminal to go to, where to stand on a station platform, what side of the train to get off, where to change platforms, what exit to use. He treats me as if I am some sort of yokel who has never seen public transport before.

I use trains and public transport pretty much every day of the week perfectly well without him and have done for over 50 years. I have navigated mass transit systems in countries and continents he's never even visited.

I know he means well. I know it's his own anxiety over travelling that makes him do it but it drives me crazy.

Please do your best backstroke straight into the 4 pool wankers.

Same with Tesco, reckon they own a super glue factory.

Also people who act that the UK ends at the M25.

Then it's "insert your card"
"Do not remove your card"
"Do not remove your card"
"Do not remove your caREMOVE YOUR CARD!!"

I agree, it’s so lazy, boring, and inaccurate.

Putting a bra on when u are still damp from the shower or swimming.

On here. People suggesting you give a made up scenario rather than just addressing an issue truthfully.

The type of thing that instead of telling someone that you don't want to go out with them posters advise you to "tell them that you're already going to an event that night and there's no spare tickets so they can't tag along"

Some of the scenarios suggested for more complex issues are utterly bizarre. There's a difference between tactful rather than blunt without having to make up outright lies!

Apparently if you always open the end opposite the expiry date you won’t get that problem!

Great tip🙏

Seeing people use the term “rest bite” when they mean “respite”. Just noticed it again on another MN thread

I may do this actually! Thank you 😈

Saying etc where there should just be a full stop , there is no etc to it

Youtubers who 'pick up' items of clothing and other shopping instead of buying them. You didn't pick it up and walk out, did you?

😆

I wear a old bra thats streached and to big... I hate trying to do my bra when swimming😩
