What annoys you?

[YesIknowIcare]

What annoys you in everyday life.

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

Some women's screechy voices.

Elon Musk

Neighbours putting rubbish in your bin because theirs is full up 😡

@Katemax82 but a lot of people from other countries pronounce it that way…that’s like saying I hate people with Liverpool accents etc?!

When someone you vaguely met once comes up to you and says hello. Asked who it was and they seemed shocked that I asked? My running bib with the words "visually impaired" should be a bit of a given away.

The poxy lids attached to bottles and cartons. Spent the whole morning mopping fucking strawberry milk out of the fridge !!! Of course it was on the stupid top shelf so ran down the length of the fridge soaking everything !!

People that find it cute to let kids pay for the car park when there is an enormous queue

People who have lived very sheltered or lucky lives who refuse to accept that other people can be extremely dangerous and irrational and pretend we should all hold hands and sing Kumbaya and everything will be fine.

People who tell others to just have a little chat with their loud, shitty anti social neighbours. Never. Ever. Do this. See above.

A lot of people in the UK too, depending on where you're from.

On that, suppose one of my pet hates is provincials who think they have the right to tell other people how to pronounce words or letters, not realising that what is normal for them is just regional and not, in fact, universal.

People who drop litter and selfishness, generally.

Escalators are indeed for standing still on.

Though I always stand to the side so that people who wish to rush up them can do so.

Omg this explains why my daughters Catholic northern Irish teacher says haitch

There's no excuse for people who are not culturally inclined to say it (like my sister)

Ok my pet hate, being the only one on this thread being bollocked for my pet hate!!

When I'm loading my shopping onto the conveyor I start from the end near the till. Then some inconsiderate person comes along and starts putting theirs on when I have a massive trolley load. I usually say excuse me but I'm going to need that space. Sometimes the cashier starts moving the belt and they keep moving their shopping back. Arrrgh! Just why?!?

Yes!
As a teenager I was once asked to clear the table.
Had a stack of 5 plates and my sleeve got caught on a cupboard door handle causing the topmost plates to crash to the floor and smash.

NOISE.

So much noise irritates me.
Wind chimes, screaming kids, barking dogs.

People who say “End of” ( End of what?)
Or “Needs gone”

Now the abbreviation “ Cos” is used that reminds me of how a toddler talks

It’s not that hard to type “ Because “, surely?

” Could of” also is irritating.

Haitch is the standard, correct form in ROI too and the pronunciation taught in schools, so the vast majority of Irish people will say it like that.

Groups of people walking abreast, taking up the whole width of the pavement and forcing anyone coming the other way into the road.

People who recline their seats on planes.

Couples who book a window and aisle seat in the same row obviously hoping the middle seat will not be booked. . Why not book them in adjacent rows, thereby not preventing people who do want to sit together from doing so?

Everything.

Just come back from holiday - people wearing bikinis/swimwear in the buffet .
It was casual , fine to wear shorts/vest there
But wear a slip over dress on your swimsuit . Not one of those daft little lace wraps that looks like a curtain.

Out by the pool , the poolside bar or resturant - fine .
In the buffet resturant I do not want to see stomachs and thighs thanks ( and all the rest that isn't covered up)

Those ridiculously black, curled, obviously fake eyelashes that are so unbelievably thick and dark that no-one could ever think they are natural.
I think they make girls/ladies look grubby when wearing them.
You can get really good natural looking long lashes done. I have no idea why this fake look is so popular. When I see them, I feel weirdly annoyed at how odd humans are.

I work in retail and strangely enough i can take most customers, even the batshit crazy ones....but a hankie in the wash makes me feel murderous

I think they look odd, like half a tarantula on each eyelid...
