What annoys you in everyday life.

Selfish drivers parking their car halfway up the sidewalk - forcing prams/wheelchairs out to road.
Tomatoes.
Smokers.

Everything. Literally everything.

People who insist on giving way or letting you out of a junction when it's actually their right of way when it would actually be quicker for everyone if they didn't.
There's no cars behind you, but now you're slowing down. Why? Oh, now you're arm flapping at me. Are you giving way? You don't have to, why not just keep going? If you'd just gone by at a steady speed we'd both be on our way already!
Special mention for people who do this when it is really unsafe. I'm trying to turn right at a junction, the guy coming from my right decides to wave me out, but I can't go as there's still traffic on my left. Then Mr Magnanimous gets angry that I'm not going.
I don't need people to "be kind" on the road, I need you to be predictable.

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.

That's almost as bad as my 18 year old son pronouncing sausage by ommitting the s in the middle (soh-idge) cringe!

daliesque · 26/02/2024 20:22

With my MIL it's "covic"

My dad says Cody 🤷‍♀️

When people selling things on Facebook market place has things listed as free, and then you read the description and it's not free and there's a price. Or they want people to make offers. Do people do that so they appear at the top of filtered by price searches?

UnctuousUnicorns · 28/02/2024 14:24

People who talk at gigs, during the songs. Twats. 🤬 I wish the singer could pull a lever, and send them down a trapdoor in the floor.

1-No names mentioned but there's a woman around here who owns/runs her own business but she always moans that she has no/very little sales and customers but most of the time she's not open!
2-Smokers/vapes/e's etc.
3-Parents who think they have the right to demand things because they chose to breed.
4-Anti-disability idiots.
5-Any form of animal cruelty legal or illegal.
6-Supermarket trollies with wonky wheels!

decionsdecisions62 · 28/02/2024 16:19

Most things annoy me tbh. Mumsnet also annoys me and yes I'm contemplating stopping my endless scrolling of idiot threads.

Soooo agree re the parents one! Massive issue in my work with the parents constantly fucking off to do the school run when the rest of us have to stay late. Was poorly once and ended up in hospital after a 16 hour shift because I couldn't go home when I needed to as the same woman had child care🙄she makes no effort to arrange it for the days she knows she will potentially be off late and no effort at all to change role despite there being plenty available- not as interesting but garunteed hours and a finish time.

Cyclists
The person in the office who bangs on about renovating their house.
colleagues at work who keep asking why I don’t want a man and I should get on a dating website.
The one work colleague that constantly bangs on about batch cooking .
People that drive like absolute idiots
Teenagers that talk like they are in an episode of top boy.
people that walk along on their phone ignoring their child who is trying to talk to them .
people dumping their dirty plates and cups in the sink expecting someone else to put them in the dishwasher.
people who park on the road where I live even though they have a driveway .parking is awful so this makes it a lot harder to park.
Finally my brother who we don’t see anymore as he has a new controlling girlfriend.

Celebrities. All of them. And the 'news' stories about them. 'Brad Pitt eats two banana's for breakfast every day'. NOT NEWS.

Even worse when they pipe up with their opinion on world events, health issues etc. I'll listen to the experts thanks.

25thCenturyQuaker · 04/03/2024 01:12

Noise annoys. I went to a wedding last weekend, and the music at the evening "do" was unbearably loud. How the hell anyone managed to communicate with anyone else over the screeching, pounding cacophony is beyond me - I ended up leaving early, I just couldn't bear it.

LadyEloise1 · 04/03/2024 14:38

The corruption in the world.
Nice people finishing last.

Slow walkers, along with people who don't walk in a straight line so when you try to get around them they suddenly weave into your path. Pick a line and go in that line ffs

People who walk around chewing gum with their mouth open

Slow drivers, yes I get that the speed limit is a maximum but bimbling a dual carriageway at 25mph isn't helping anyone

My dryer eating my socks

My glasses having fallen into the mysterious black hole of my house never to be seen again

TigerRag · 04/03/2024 15:03

How loud some drivers play their music. Usually far too early and never anything decent

Flumpie59 · 12/08/2024 09:43

LINKEDIN!

Three bloody times over the past 12 months I've created an account on 3 different email addresses/phone numbers, they let me create my Profile photos etc. I create some posts. Everything is good for 2 days.

On the 3rd day I can't log in because it's ''temporarily restricted'' and I get a load of crap saying I should upload ID to sign in. I've never had a passport or driving license and the only photo ID I have is a Blue Badge. Also, it's only a stupid social site so I wouldn't send them my ID anyway even if I had it!

They tell me to go into my Profile then on to other sections but how the bloody hell can I when they've stopped me logging in?!

WHY do they let me create an account for 2 days then block me?

Bollocks to them, I'll never have anything more to do with them!

  • People walking along a pavement who just stop for no apparent reason
  • People in supermarkets chatting on their phone with the trolley blocking the item I want. Despite multiple 'excuse me, excuse me' they don't hear till I've had to get loud and now it sounds like I'm just being rude and loud
  • People pronouncing TH as F- 'I've got free eggs', no, you have three eggs
  • People who say 'I've got The Covit' (MIL)

Or 'the' anything..
He got the cancer, she got the anaemia...

Flumpie59 · 12/08/2024 10:03

I know what you mean!

Amanda Holden STRIPS NAKED. Oh big deal! Bimbo!

Billy Ray Cyrus and Firerose SPLIT! Who gives a hoot?! Although I love her name! ''Firerose'' is gorgeous!

Nicole Bass GIVES BIRTH! So what?! The kid isn't exactly the new messiah!

So-and-so BREAKS SILENCE .... 3 seconds after the incident!

Not forgetting Katie Price every second of every day on all the news!

People who pronounce th sounds as f and v sounds.

Yes it's petty and no, i'd never point it out to anyone as that would make me an enormous twat but I know someone who does it and seems to try to insert as many th words into her speech as possible.

e.g Did you hear the funder last night? It wasn't forecast and I wouldn't be bovvered normally but I jumped and yelped and DP who'd just been sat there twiddling his fumbs said what would you ravver? a bit of funder on a hot day to break the humidity or free days of rain like we'd been forecast? and I fought what i'd ravver is not being so scared I jumped and pulled a muscle in my figh but I didn't fink that would go down well so I fought better of it.

Scorchio84 · 12/08/2024 20:17

slow walkers, couples or groups who take over the pavement

people who kill marine mammals

Vague posts on Facebook then the comments 'You ok hun?' 'Messaged you'
