What irritates you about other people?

[CruCru]

I get really irritated when someone won’t accept “I don’t know” as my answer. Something along the lines of:

”Sarah is having a baby! Do you know when it’s due?”
”No, I didn’t know she was pregnant”
”Her oldest is four and she didn’t want a big age gap so it’s probably soon” <Looks at me expectantly>
”I didn’t know she was pregnant so no idea I’m afraid”
”But when do you think it would be?” <Looks at me expectantly>
”Still no idea. Between now and six months?!?”

Or

”I need to hire a nanny. How do you recruit a nanny?”
”I don’t have a nanny so couldn’t say. Have you talked to Sarah, she will probably know?”
”I should probably talk to a nanny agency, which one should I call?”
”I’ve never hired a nanny through an agency so no idea I’m afraid”
”But you must have some idea!”

It has to be okay to sometimes just say “I dunno”.

People who write 'ddog' or 'dcat' or 'dhamster' or 'dlizard' or 'dgoldfish'. Please - just stop it now. Thank you.

People who don’t read emails or letters properly then proceed to ask questions WHEN IT’S RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM

I have one of these 🤣

Always questions I would never know the answer to either. I just make shit up now and see how long it takes him to cotton on 🤣

Fucking everything

Yes, so annoying. Just when you think you're going to escape, Darren-who-is-trying-to-impress-the-manager pipes up "Just one last question ..."

Agreed. But I have a visible disability and people still ignore me when I get on a bus where all the priority seats are taken!

So much. I'm equally annoying to people I would assume.

Today? People who insist on meetings when it could have been an email.

Those influencers who make money restocking (so much) food into different plastic containers. But really, that's capitalism...

People who dawdle and take up the whole path. I walk with a stick and STILL often find myself stuck behind groups of people who are just sauntering along chatting aimlessly together, while I'm trying to get somewhere, like catch a train.
Cyclists who totally ignore all traffic lights and road signs.
People who tell lies even when they already know you know the truth

I’m ’inaudible Blah blah blah blah’ me ‘sorry I didn’t hear that’.
them ‘grass’
Nope sorry I said I didn’t hear what you said. Not that I didn’t hear one word. Bloody mumblers.

@AgnesX couldn’t agree more

People who let their kids spread out colouring books on the table in a pub whilst you’re standing looking for a seat. It’s a pub. Piss off with them.
People who will never say “ooo you might have a point”. Everyone is right.
People who have dropped a massive bollock who not only defend their decision but sugar-coat it and add sprinkles.

Just other people. It's my time of life.

Oh yes, liars who still lie even when they know you know they’re lying.

Even worse are the ones coming towards you taking up the entire width of the pavement (especially rambling groups) who won't go into single file and just expect you to leap into the road or hedge so as not to disturb their walk/conversation! These days, I just stand still and make them go around me!

People who do not know how a conversation works. Those who literally do not stop talking at all to allow another’s offering . Those thst constantly interrupt before the talking person has concluded . Those who think they know what you are about to say and jump in before the sentence is complete.

Rude And boring .

Gosh where shall I start….in no particular order

entitlement
narcisism
greed
rudeness
obliviousness
Ignorance
thoughtlessness
dithering behaviour

that probably covers the bulk of things!

Stupid people
Ill-mannered people
Anti-Semitic people
And pretty much everything else all the other posters on this thread have mentioned!

When someone waits until they are being served at the bar/till to transfer money on their phone to the correct account, only to find there's no WiFi. These people are absolute dickheads.

People who take their shoes off on public transport, especially if their feet stink

Everyone annoys me really, but here goes:

cyclists
drivers who don’t fucking indicate
couples walking hand in hand on a narrow pavement. No, I am not going to step out into the road.
Other people’s children. Yes, all of them.
People who talk through films/plays.
Men. Pretty much all of them.

That feels better

People who send texts saying ‘how are you?’ - this is not a fucking conversation starter, now piss off! Same goes for people who text me and then don’t reply to my response. Chronic waste of my time.

Conspiracy theorists - no, I do not believe Wayfair are harbouring a secret child trafficking catalogue via their firniture bar codes. Or whatever this week’s weird internet conspiracy is. Usually pedalled by some middle aged bloke I used to go to school with. Such a turn off.

People with very small minds or close horizons, who can only relate to anything in terms of their own experience. It happens a lot on here - someone posts an OP about a big or medium-sized issue and, within the hour, the thread's dominated by a handful of people banging on about how it doesn't affect them or isn't like that for them. Or they'd never go to London because they've heard it's busy 😕

I'm ever so patient with people like this in real life but, inside, I'm silently screaming "FOR GOD'S SAKE GROW A BRAIN!"

And while I'm on a roll ...
Totally self-centred people. I'm sure there are more than there used to be!
Sexists and racists.
Arrogance (crosses over with the above) and hubris.
Ignoring a conversation in favour of your phone. If you're that bored, fuck off.
Telling people you prefer animals to people. Sorry for being the wrong species, and what a pity you are as well!
Telling humans you think the human race should all die, or certain sectors of it should. Always shocks me, and it's irritating that they never see what a psychopathic statement they've made.
And lecturing vegans 😆

My DH is king of "don't know", lol. I'm like, you have to know, I'm not even asking you a factual question, just an opinion' Haha.

So mine is people saying don't know when what they really mean is 'shut up, I don't care about what you are talking about' lol.

I guess I don't like people shouting and yelling in public, but most folks don't really do that. Some random posh fella barged into me today, knocking my drink onto my jacket. Nearly sent me flying. So yeah that annoys me big time too.

People who listen to music or other crap at top volume on headphones....so it defeats the point of wearing headphones when I can hear that annoying tinny sound from about 4 rows away on the train.
I dread to think what it's doing to their ear drums but sympathy is limited if they are too inconsiderate/stupid to find the volume button.

I fear my transformation into a grumpy old woman is nearing completion....😬

People what stand still in the middle of the supermarket aisle with nothing in their trolley, blocking everybody else trying to get passed or the two old dears holding a conversation oblivious to the rest of the planet that have decided to go shopping at the same fucking time you just want to get in and out. And then the automatic checkout machine triggers a "till roll check " and you have to try and attract the attention of the disinterested girl who takes a millennium to check bloody 5 items. And when you get home you realise that you forgot the one thing you went in there for so you pour yourself a class of wine only for husband to chip in with " starting early then !!! ". Followed by, " what's for tea Nigella ?". " " Fucking cunt that's what's for tea, and no , not the sort you're thinking about "
