To want to know the pettiest things that annoys you.

[IseeNarcPeople]

Just for fun to take our minds off the huge, horrible stuff in our lives.
Me :
Tiny, tiny cloves of garlic
"Pull tab here"

While I’m at work (small supermarket)
Customers who won’t put the basket up and instead insist on handing me one item at a time. Sweetie, there’s space for the basket for a reason so pop it up and let me scan it at a more efficient pace and help you pack it, while we’re both still relatively young. Anyway, you’re doing your back no favours bending down repeatedly like that.

”I want that one” while pointing at the vapes but see, there’s loads of them, literally hundreds back here so you’re gonna have to tell me the brand and the flavour you want instead of wasting everyone’s time while I hopelessly try to read your mind while you roll your eyes in the most patronising way at my “stupidity”.

Newspaper articles which report on police cars, ambulances etc being 'scrambled' to a scene...they're vehicles, not eggs! Grinds my gears when I read it

That's a correct use of "Scrambled ".

It was used during WWII when fighter planes were sent up due to approaching enemy air craft.
I don't know if it dates from then or earlier.

Still annoys me.

Well I imagine for most people it is not the poo that has been safely disposed of that is the problem. It is the multitude of twats who let the dogs shit on the pavement, in play areas down the park, on beaches etc and do not clean it up. Or the morons who think hanging their bags of dog shit in shrubs and trees, or dumping it in someone's domestic waste bin so it stinks out the place.

The poster in question said dog walkers should carry anti vac spray to clean up where the poo has been after picking up

Insane

People on the radio who make lots of mouth noise (wet or sticky sounds) whilst they talk. Drives me INSANE (and also does all sorts of horrible squirmy things to my innards 🤢)

Oh and another ...

The new mince packaging

So you are happy to leave smears of dog poo!

Dog mess: In the UK we fail to legislate, and so people do what they like.

Try this for size:

My husband seemingly being unable to put dishes in the dishwasher, instead puts them on the counter ON TOP OF the dishwasher.

My husband, also the one who can't put dishes in the dishwasher, then rearranges said dishes in the dishwasher after I've put them in. Drives me up the bloody wall.

Also, this thing about people not using headphones when they're on a phone call. I am severely hard of hearing but I can still manage to use them. See also - voice notes: WHY?! Any time somebody sends me one of these godforsaken messages my response is "Can't understand you, can you write it in a message please". Actually lost a friend over this - she thought I was being rude by making her say the message twice 🤔

Saying or even worse, writing "I done x, y, z" rather than "I have done", or "I did". I am incredibly judgemental towards people who do this.

People who write ect when they mean etc.
'Didn't used to' annoys me too but I suspect I'm losing that one.

It’s espresso, not expresso
It’s strive, not thrive (two separate words with entirely different meanings)
It’s specifically, not pacifically
It’s definitely, not defiantly
It’s thing, not think
It’s Etc, not ect,
It’s swung or swing, not swang,
And I can’t bear plastic shrink-wrap on bottle tops - nail breaking guaranteed!

People who look at a public loo door to see if it's engaged. They see it's red.
And then still try to open it. Ooh the rage

Discusting 🙄😡

Seen all the time on local FB. Used to make me laugh first couple of times I saw it, now I grind my teeth.

Usually seen on daily mail or express forums in capital letters.

People calling their baby boy 'little man'

I'd agree with most but I think the "swang" is regional.
It's what we always said growing up, and I'd also use "span" when dh would use "spun".
I was quite surprised to find "swang" objected to on spell check.

from Grammar Wiki:
"According to Collins dictionary, the past tense for swing is swang or swung. Usually, “swung” is the normal usage and “swang” is the literary usage."

Anyone from the UK using the word perpetrator or even bloody worse "perp"
Cockwombles.

Sounds good to me. It protects dogs as well

Workers in customer-facing jobs who clearly hate their customers.

Babies dressed as adults. Often at weddings. You didn’t give birth to a Peaky Blinder.

Joolery instead of jewellery.

Joolery instead of jewellery.

Yes!
And "sekkertry" instead of "secretary".

The type of families who proudly describe their sadly-missed young male family members as “cheeky, a real character”…. Euphemism for “total fucking pain in the arse”.

Especially when parents call their babies / toddlers “cheeky” as if it was a good thing. Since WHEN was it A) normal for a BABY to be “cheeky”, or B) seen as being a desirable attribute to crow about???? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Totally with this! A peaky blinker 🤣
