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.

Yeah. She was a total user she just wanted me to fill an hour (and for my 9 year old to babysit her youngest so she could sit on her phone). She wasn’t interested.

People who sit holding a retractable pen and constantly press the top - the ‘click, click, click’ goes right through me.

The person in front of me in a shop not putting the divider between their shopping and mine. I know it’s not a compulsory thing, but it’s polite, and it maddens me when they don’t do it 😕

People who think other people's boobs are their business 😛

No, seriously, before I had mine reduced (34G, for the statisticians) I had to make the hideous choice between putting a horrendous strain on my back and shoulders and being the oldest swinger in town. No fun at all.

@Applescruffle I agree with the Christmas tree in November thing!

Had a colleague who puts up her tree mid Nov and about 10 days before Xmas Day, she’s moaning about she’s sick of the sight of the tree etc. DON’T put up your tree that early then!

Based on the few households in my road, my parents’ - those who have their Christmas decorations and tree up in Nov, most of them are down by 27th Dec!

Shoppers that park in the pick up/drop off area in front of supermarkets and do a shop! My work fortunately doesn’t have one.

As last week i entered a supermarket at the same time as a woman parking up in the drop off. She left the store when I was putting trolley away with 3 bags!

Woman was one of those mid 40s with Botox hair dyed silver and obviously extensions (too straight) with oversized sunglasses

I have to do this otherwise I literally can’t turn pages, but I absolutely hate myself for it and cringe and die inside every time I have to do it.

I need one of those little wet sponges they have in post offices

My dad has no concept of personal space and will come mere inches away when speaking. If I take a step back he takes a step closer it’s awful.

”gentlemanly” behaviour like stopping to let me walk through a doorway first or rushing to grab bags from me bringing in the shopping it drives me fucking nuts

@CultOfRamen my MIL does this. It’s so weird!

I would add people who take 10 minutes to withdraw cash from an ATM.
That's a 90 second job, surely??

My ex MIL used to have long nails and used to click them together all the time. I don't think she realised she did it as she was widowed and lived alone. She also used to ring me, talk at me for about ten minutes, and then abruptly ring off without giving me a chance to say anything.

Me too.
I'm convinced that i turn into a hologram whenever i leave the house.

My husband didn't believe me when I told him, until we went shopping one day.

And the twatarses who use both sets of stairs to climb up from a train/tube platform - and do it verrrrry verrrrrry sloooooowly to boot - then look at you like you’re the arsehole because they have to move to let you past to get down. Just walk on the left you cuntfaces!!

People walking down the middle of the pavement and expecting me to move into the road. Because I'm happy to almost get run over instead of you moving a few inches

It’s baffling isn’t it? I try to stay put and let them move for once but I’m so used to them just standing there or tutting that I move.

Maybe it’s not even conscious for them and they’re just unconsciously entitled.

Honestly, it drives me mad every year.

People think its because I am a misery who hates Christmas but it's because I love Christmas and don't want it spoiled and the magic diluted by dragging if out for half a year. November is still autumn FFS.

I just feel like noone wants to wait for anything any more. Noone wants to just enjoy the wait and the build up and get excited for something. Its just now now now.

And it does affect me because there's lights and decor everywhere from Nov 1st. People don't just keep it in their living rooms, it's right not there everywhere I look and shops follow suit to meet with demand. So I can't get away from it and I feel its actually ruining the season for me and getting in the way of enjoying Autumn before winter.

Loud chewing/gulping.

And those people who swallow compulsively halfway through a sentence, which always looks really painful and odd, when they stop randomly, do a huge grimacing swallow, then continue the sentence.

And people who sound really "wet" when they talk. Like they've got a mouthful of unswallowed drink in there, swishing about.

People who phone to book something we offer either in the windiest place on earth, from what sounds like the middle of a concert or with appalling signal - and then get shitty with me because I can't catch what they're saying properly.
Go somewhere quiet and don't ring me from somewhere you've got one bar signal and then blame me for it when you can't be heard or can't hear me!

First audiobook I bought was a dramatisation of Dracula, many years ago. It was awful - the bloke playing Dracula did that slurping talking. I listened to it once, that was more than enough.

Ah, I see. I think I'd have done the same!

Christmas bedding? Fuck off

The whole family wearing the same PJs at Christmas. Chavvy SM sadness.

For me working in retail we have the crappy Christmas music. It’s torture! No other time of year are so few songs played to death.

@Auburngal I always feel sorry for retail staff having to hear Xmas music - seems to start earlier every year too! you have my sympathy

The thing of playing Christmas music was to make people feel festive and buy more.

That psychological idea no longer exists. It makes us more miserable and want to do shopping online.

What I don’t get is the toy shop The Entertainer. CEO is a devout Christian - shops are closed on Sundays. Yet play Xmas music in mid October! It was the Friday before Oct half term and walked past the shop in my town. Heard Rocking Around The Christmas Tree. FFS!

Having been back into the office today I would like to add another one - people who use the communal microwave to heat up fish 🤢

That's just selfish 😁

Friends of mine went camping, it was a completely empty massive 5 acre field and were told to park anywhere they liked then another campervan arrived and parked right next to them (They then moved)
People are weird
