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"

For me it depends on the road - okay if it's a long way to the next crossing and the road isn't busy, but on the road I mentioned, which is a strange one, granted, both types of crossing are everywhere, people are driving slowly, and it's usually very busy, so ducking across in the middle seems both risky and inconsiderate - and this is the petty annoyances thread, lol!

The person at work who knows ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING about what is going on and makes sure that you know that she knows, even the stuff that is on display for everyone to see for themselves. It is inordinately infuriating.

People on here saying 'use your words.' It's like they're talking to a three year old.

Be tempting to answer “Why, when I could quote someone else?” ;)

This reminds me of one of my mother's pet peeves. She used to call it "Alphonse-Gaston Syndrome". It referred to people who were so terrified of being impolite that they could never just come out and say what it was they wanted/needed.

Whenever I started hemming and hawing, instead of "use your words", she would say "just give me an order".

🤣🤣🤣🤣

MIL does this all the time

Another one from me! I went to get petrol yesterday and wondered why, when people have finished paying for their petrol, they push past everyone else in the queue, instead of going round the little shop to get out.

Also - there should be a separate till for those buying petrol so we don't have to wait for people dropping off parcels, buying lottery tickets etc. This particular petrol station doesn't have pay at pump - it did, but they took it out to force people to go into the shop in the hope of forcing them to buy something :(

I get irrationally irritated when people walk over (without any consideration) a freshly mopped floor. Especially if I’m the one who has mopped it.
My dad calls Megan Markle ‘May-gan’. Just why.
People who cut off or talk over others, just fucking rude.
People explaining things to me that I already know - annoys the shit out of me.
The washing up being done and not done in the correct order.
Rude or entitled people.

I usually put -This- including the comment because I agree with it. I regularly post my own opinions too.

Parcels - if you order something and a neighbour has kindly taken it in for you, get home, read the card, find out where it is and go get the fucker!!! I had next doors parcel at the bottom of my stairs for a week!!! DH says I'm petty, I say I'm not! I very rarely order things when I'm not going to be in, but if I have and it's at a neighbours, I'm round there getting it before my door is shut! I'm not an extension of the delivery person!!!
Mistakes - people who post long drawn out responses on posts and don't check their post back before tapping the post button!
Middle lane hoggers - I thought this was an offence, clearly there aren't enough police cars on motorways, despite myriad tv programmes to the contrary!!!
Words - Here up north, (Leeds) there was a weird thing that started, of people saying "Mine Stew" instead of mind you! That drove me absolutely insane! Don't even know where it came from and it wasn't even used as a joke!
Parking - constantly on grass verges rather than the road. Heaven forbid you should have to park further down the crescent and walk to your house! Yes you, Mr Clampett opposite and while we're on it, get your crap removed from your garden! It's been there 2 years!
Ggggrrrr...

@10HailMarys
I thought it was something special like flavoured with raspberries or something.
It was so disappointing to find out it was just food colouring!
Who invented it and why?

The beeps that sound the same as the ones that tell you you arent wearing your seatbelt as you reverse into the garage with your tailgate up.

The fact that black sharpies don't cover up the scratches on the car and look red.

When your husband asks how that tiny scratch on the garage door got there.

(I was living in the US so I feel I can say tailgate)

People at the till in front of me who pack their groceries at the slowest speed known to man. Why????

"Pull off film" on food trays that doesn't pull off. See also "peel off" labels, "tear off" spouts on juice cartons etc. I know that's why we have scissors, but really.

MNetters who say, ‘oh come on’ as if they’re speaking to a kid

People who use the phrase "fast forward" when telling a story. You're not a VCR!

Love the swearing ones, SO funny!
Drivers not folding wing mirrors inwards in carpark, especially when they're electric...
Backpackers doing snail impressions turning round and hitting me, totally unaware...
The fridge thing too! I can't pause the new one beeping, I have to physically shut the door half way through putting shopping away...
When laptop refuses to talk to printer...
(I'd better stop now) 😄

That MN hate English people and hold the French up as higher beings.

My MIL acting like she knows my dc teachers, friends etc intimately when she has only met them once. Really annoys me because I care for my disabled child so I don't know my dc teachers and friends as well as I would like to. So I met one of ds1's teachers for the first time this week and MIL was introducing us and then acting like she was the teacher's best friend and known her for years when I know MIL met that teacher for the first time a few days before I did.

Husband who still tries to pack too many bowls in the dishwasher meaning none of them are clean. Husband also not putting dishwasher on because there is room for 1 small plate and a mug, ignoring the fact that 4 people will be eating at the next meal.

Fitted sheets that never bloody fit!!! Have had to resort to buying the next size up just to make sure the damn thing doesn't pop off the corner for the millionth time in the night.

And even then they don't work! I have a king single bed with a mattress topper (not a particularly thick one) and the double bed fitted sheets aren't big enough for it all.

Drivers letting people into the traffic queue for the lights after they've gone green 😬
Also pedestrians who decide to cross in front of me when lights change

People who write 'delete if not aloud' on facebook....its 'allowed' you moron !!!!

People who mix up exasperate and exacerbate 😡
