Little things people do that are irritating....

[TooTiredAndFedUp]

Just for fun.

I'll begin...

Taking the toilet roll of the toilet roll holder and not putting it back on...why take it off to begin with.

I don't mind engaging for a short time. As in a sentence or two. If they are very cute and polite kids. If they're little annoying brats I've got no problem saying loudly to whoever I'm with after they've gone back to their seat "Poor thing, obviously not getting enough attention from the parents....."

My partner takes his coats off and then hangs them on top of the door/gets out a hanger and hangs it on the handle of the door. If you're going to the effort of hanging it up just put it away ffs!

People at work who load the dishwasher from the front. As in plonk their cups in the easiest place, thereby forcing the people who come next to have to negotiate past their dirty crockery in order to fit theirs in. Load from the back you lazy arses!

People who wander down the street glued to their phone which then makes them meander back and forth, unable to walk in a straight line, and so makes them impossible to overtake.

Then cross the road without looking up.

Look at the ROAD not your phone

Customers holding up the queue as need to transfer money on banking app from one account to the one linked with card. Or ring up their OH “transfer £20”

My first mobile phone had a calculator and please use it. Transfer any money it required then go to the tills!

Yes! That reminds me of a thread from some time ago where the British OP had a British DH - with no links to the USA - who nevertheless constantly used Americanisms in his speech. She (quite understandably) found it intensely irritating.

Then again, we get a lot of apparently British people on MN who talk about 'living from paycheck to paycheck' - a phrase that we simply don't use in the UK, much less do we spell (a monetary payment) cheque that way.

Normally I'd agree with you, but I'm so fast at packing bags in my trolley that I end up ahead of the cashier in Aldi. I once got a round of applause from the person behind me....

Didn't we have lots of pages on this topic only last week??

I hate how my predictive text makes no sense, last week teacher morphed into screecher, I sure it never knew me that well back in the day.

People without mobility issues bending over their trolley then shuffling along (having previously been in training for next year’s marathon in aisle 5) because they’re lazy.

People using a trip to the supermarket as a whole family outing then allowing the children (who were too small to properly control it) yank the trolley by the front so it swings round wildly into my path.

People leaving a disgusting mess in the supermarket toilet.

People who ignore you when you’ve obviously waited for them to go past someone who’s parked their trolley so 2 trolleys can’t then fit alongside. Next time I’ll bloody ram you.

It was frankly wild in Asda today! 🤣

When Aldi first came to the UK I did the correct thing, swiped all my stuff back into the the trolley to pack at the bench and the checkout person said, You can always tell those who've lived in Germany!

I have bags ready in the trolley and am always ahead of the checkout staff.

People who don’t put the toilet seat down on those toilets where the flush button is literally hidden behind the open toilet seat so that you have to put it down and stop shit and piss particles flying at you, to reach the button.. how are these people flushing and not putting the seat down?!

People who I call the 'Say it, don't spray it type' can't speak normally without sharing their saliva round.

😆😆😆

Do families really need to shop with both parents, 4 DC and another relative?

A certain group of young mothers all with a pushchair or pram, that visit my store together as just one of them buys just one item! They clog up the aisles and self scan areas. Why do they all need to go into the store?

Customers that think it’s ok to have their chats with other customers in front of the milk and bananas. Or even worse the recess area where the doors to the warehouse etc are.

People walking their dog on the pavement towards me who would rather make me step into the gutter/traffic than pull their dog out of the way. I think they're probably the same ones that decorate the poo bag tree.

The two idiots I saw yesterday on their bikes on the pavement, with their unleashed dog, and crossing in front of me on a busy road. They were right near two retirement villages, and it's not a dual use path (there are very few of those here). So they were putting their dog's life, elderly people's, and last and least, their own, at risk, all presumably because they couldn't be arsed to actually walk their dog safely.

Calling a cup of tea a "brew" or a "cuppa". Both make me want to involuntary heave.

I have literally ditched a friend for this nonsense on a regular basis:

her: hi! Do you fancy meeting up with the kids tomorrow?
me: yeah sure, we’re around in the afternoon.
her: great!! Just let me know what you want to do 😊

Fuck offfff you were the one that suggested we meet up!! At least fucking SUGGEST something!!

Hmm where to start?

People that try to get in the lift before everyone has come out. This also applies to buses and trains

People who play their music or watch youtube/tiktok in public

People who don't listen properly

People who don't read properly

People who zone out on their phones while you are talking to them

People who fuck about ate the checkout or cash machine while there's a queue behind them

People who have catch-ups in the middle of the supermarket aisle, bonus points if they leave their trollies sideways

November Christmas tree People.

November Christmas lights people

November Christmas lights/tree People that say "it doesn't affect you"

People who let their cats roam outdoors

People who stop their cars on pedestrian crossings when the traffic slows.

People who whisper in the cinema

People who massively over-react when a bee or a wasp comes near them

People that stand really really close to you in a queue

People that don't RSVP to invites

People that complain constantly but never want to listen to anyone's suggestions or advice or come up with any
2
People that are never on time

People that ask endless fucking questions when you've already told them all the information they need, they just haven't bothered to write it down or record it somewhere.

People that put their bags on seats on busy public transport

People that sniff constantly instead of just blowing their nose

That's it for now. Might think of more

The term 'like I said or as I said' when they never said it beforehand!

@CJ0374

Haha - my friend often says "like you said.." when I have said no such thing. I think he's trying to "cleverly" convince me that I agree with him.

It won't work though because he's an idiot and talks a lot of nonsense 😄

Being behind someone at a junction and they do that awful stop-start movement while the light is still red. Several times. Like they can't be arsed applying the handbrake and just waiting. It really really irritates me.

Definitely this. Its so annoying.

Some dishes really do need to be eaten straight away when served or it spoils them completly. Dishes made with fresh pasta, for example. The sauce won't be the same if you leave it.

I expect them to appear 5 secondary after I have called

You actually ditched her over this? Blimey.
