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"

People saying 'Can I get...' when asking for something in a cafe,coffee shop etc. It's 'May I have...'! The person serving you will 'get it'! Seems to be a thing nowadays. Thought it was just a younger person's thing at first,but now I'm hearing people my age (60) and older saying it!

Seat blockers. Someone standing right in front of a seat (e.g. at a bus stop) instead of either sitting on it or moving away so someone else can sit down. Selfish oblivious bastards.

Yes!

Yeah those pesky dogs not learning to use toilets. Bastards.

My current one is seeing everybody on FB, Instagram, any phots basically doing the bloody peace sign - just why? Can't they just pose for a photo without doing this?

I asked somebody why they did it recently and their reply was, "Just cos......."

Non Spanish people flamboyantly calling chorizo 'choritho' . Just fuck off.

But that (or choreesso) is how you pronounce it. Do you pronounce 'croissant' as croy sant (rhyming with 'pant')?

Men who try to direct me out or into parking spaces. Fuck offffffff!

I had exactly this today - the driver in front of me decided to let about four cars out in front of her when the lights went green!

I have a friend who calls paella pie-ey-ya. Yes I know you went to Barcelona once............

🤣🤣🤣
that’s extremely specific but I get it

Quite niche but the parents at DC's school who just stop right in the middle of the road to let their kids out! Not only that it's usually right in front of the gate which is lazy, stupid and bloody dangerous. Irritates me every single day.

Adding to this, people who speed down the wrong lane & then indicate in at the bottom & some stupid idiot always lets them in.

I wish I didn't have to commute.

That's the one that I hate the most! It's spread so much over the years.

How do you pronounce paella?

It’s an Americanism. Sounds so grabby !

Pie-ella as I'm not Spanish 🙂

When I’m engrossed in a MN thread & the page suddenly refreshes so I have to then start scrolling to find where I was up to

Babies or toddlers in jeans

Self service checkouts that ALWAYS have some issue that needs the staff to come over and sort.

‘Couple goals’

How normalised big collagen lips have become

Colleagues eating stinky fish lunches. So inconsiderate!

Colleagues constantly discussing Netflix dramas every lunchtime like they do nothing else with their lives

My neighbour slamming his front door every morning at 5.30am to ensure everyone on the street has to suffer his early starts too

Ridiculous levels of traffic in this country and how overcrowded we are. Long queues for anything these days

Colleagues asking what I’m doing on my day off every time I have a day off. I’m doing fuck all Sarah in order to rest & keep my sanity but you wanna hear some socially acceptable list of busyness so I’ll give you that every time to keep you off my case! Stop asking you nosy fucker!

Ahhh that felt good 😅😅😅

People saying ‘my bad!’ Arrrrrggggghhhhhh!

The team tag of lawn mowing that occurs on our street. One stops another one starts.

My husband being the last person to do the lawn…. at fucking dinner time on a Sunday!
(Apart from the last two weeks - I’ve been doing it!)

So you pronounce the "L" s?

I'm not French, but I don't call the dance with the people in leotards and tutus "bal-et."

Yes I do pronounce the Ls as does everybody I know. I'd say cho -reet-so not ho-ree-tho or whatever.

DH. shouting 'where are you ' in our small bungalow..FFS. eight steps and he's walked from the kitchen to the room furthest away.. so I don't answer..
Coat hangers getting in a tangle..the bastards

Completely normal where I live (NI). If someone said 'May I have ...?' they would sound a bit up themselves. Even if it's correct in English, it's not the norm here. Poor Americans get the blame for every grammatical faux pas.

Oops sorry @ALongHardWinter, it was another poster who said it was an Americanism!

Absolutely the norm in my part of Scotland. There would be much laughter if somebody said "Please may I have"
They'd appear frightfully pretentious.

WRT to the pronunciation of foreign foods, 'cross-ont/ant' sounds a lot less wanky and pretentious than the dreadful 'kwasson'.
