Cyclists

Another one here who cannot cope with glottal stops or “haitch”

People who don’t indicate

Couples who hold hands in public (totally irrational)

Tories

Cheese

Dc standing in trolleys..
Slow drivers..
People who don't indicate.
Cyclists..
Drivers at service station pumps who don't park so you can get past when you are using the one behind..
Shoppers who wait until the very last minute to get their purse out. Like they suddenly realise they need to pay...

I used to work on a checkout and so many people would be waiting in line for ages, unload their stuff then pack, THEN spend ages faffing around looking for their purse/sort through their coupons once I said hoe much their shopping is ( why not get this all ready while waiting in line?)

Poor parenting
Spoilt kids
Men
Tories
People who walk into a shop and immediately stop and block the door.
Slow walkers.
People who make instant negative assumptions about northern accents.
Gentle parenting
Too thin bin bags that are neither use nor ornament
The phrase 'circle back' or 'amazeballs'.
City boys
Grabby bastards
Losing things (everyday... i have adhd)

Yes im due on.

So... periods also ha

Completely agree.
I did misread as slow wankers and immediately thought of those drivers who take an AGE to turn right or drive at 20 on a 30 road, bumbling along.

I get annoyed by dog shit.
This leads me on to dog owners who look at you as you walk past and then don't pick their dog's shit up.
People who don't share the pavement, forcing you nearly onto the road. This happened a lot when I had a pram.
Politics.
Tik tok and social media.
My prick neighbours who tried to steal some of my land when they moved in. Cheeky bastards. They have nearly run me over more times than I can count AND blocked me in about 20 times. Yet when I get a bed delivery once, the wanker is straight out shouting at the delivery man to move. Tossers.

People on this site and others who don't read thread titles/OPs properly, and glom onto some totally irrelevant detail and go on and on about it. I hate it when it happens on threads I've started, and I hate it when it happens on anyone else's threads as well! Such annoying, ignorant behaviour which makes the commenters seem stupid.

Gruffallowhydidntyouknow · 24/02/2024 22:07

Other peoples Children approaching me in soft play

Slow drivers

Seeing children with dummies over the age of 12 months.

Seeing children in pushchairs watching phones/ ipads.

Hearing other people's music

People that don't speak properly "innit" " like"

And oh my, the pinnacle.... People that use of instead of have. Must of, should of.

  • People pronouncing TH as F- 'I've got free eggs', no, you have three eggs

My DS has the most gorgeous Essex accent because he was born in Essex
He also has a Masters Degree .

His pronouncation doesn't seem to have hampered him and I personally love accents .

UnctuousUnicorns · 24/02/2024 22:41

Twats who sit on their mate's shoulders at gigs, so the poor bastards behind them can't see fuck all. It doesn't affect me, as I'm always on the front row at gigs, but it annoys me nonetheless.

EasterEggsComeAtMe · 24/02/2024 22:41

People who aren't willing to put the work and sacrifice into keeping in shape but resent those who do!

I love the Essex accent too!

UnctuousUnicorns · 24/02/2024 22:47

I don't think I (from NW England) could ever have dated someone from SE England - the accent is like fingernails down a blackboard to me. I think it would drive me crackers if I had to listen to it every day. Sorry if that makes me accentist. 🤷‍♀️

"Thatcher era'!! Are we that old?

Happily yes. I've less years ahead of me than behind me. I've not yet decided if this is a good thing or not 🤔

TooMuchPinkyPonkJuice · 24/02/2024 23:15

My cannabis smoking new neighbours and the smell seeping into my toddlers room, the noise from them and the popping balloons from their nitrous oxide taking.

Shithole101 · 24/02/2024 23:18

I annoy myself

Smell of weed
Late/missing bus.
Early mornings
Bad sleeping

twingiraffes · 24/02/2024 23:20

Arsehole MAMIL cyclists (ordinary 'getting from A to B' cyclists are fine).

Brighter-than-the-sun headlights dazzling me.

Being unjustly criticised.

Being accused of lying, or being lied to.

Yappy dogs, especially the vicious ones that bare their teeth and snarl like a demon at you whilst their owner lovingly cuddles them and lets them get away with it.

Most politicians.

Overloadimplode · 24/02/2024 23:21

Not a lot, really, reading this.
I'd say 1. Uncomfortable clothes 2. People who make no effort to stay in touch.
Having to work for a living is quite annoying too.

RockItLikeRocketFuel · 24/02/2024 23:23

Perfectly fit and able-bodied people standing still on escalators.

sashh · 25/02/2024 02:25

People in the supermarket who put their shopping on the conveyer belt and then stand at the end, watching their shopping move to the cashier but not going there themselves.

Untilitisnt · 25/02/2024 07:32

Thedogscollar · 24/02/2024 23:03

I feel the same!
Just decided to live life to full while I still can!
"When I grow old I shall wear purple" brilliant poem!

LadyEloise1 · 25/02/2024 08:51

People who say "I seen it."
People who say "I done it."
People who say "I must of ........."
People who say "I'm bored of...."

We've had free primary education for a long time. There's no excuse.
🙄🙄🙄

Ordering curry (usually in pubs and similar places) and having to ask for a spoon.

Thats the weirdest thing I've ever heard. Who Iver the age of 3 eats a main meal with a spoon.

HelloDarlingWhatAreYouDoingHere · 25/02/2024 21:54

Katemax82 · 23/02/2024 19:06

A lot of things...
People who pronounce the letter H as "hayche"

You are not being unreasonable about this.

I would add the way my mil pronounces "bottle". She omits BOTH T's and it takes all of my strength and willpower not to correct her.

You eat curry with a knife and fork?

hopscotcher · 26/02/2024 07:43

People having conversations on trains on speakerphone.

Being asked if you've booked in a restaurant when it's obvious you haven't.
