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.

My MIL is 93 this week and while she's relatively independent, her short term memory is going and she basically gives you her life history every time you see her. Every sentence starts with "of course".

"Of course the war started..."
"Of course I went to Blackheath Road School"
"Of course the country people hated us Londoners [during her brief evacuation]"
"Of course my school was bombed"
"Of course it was easy to rent then"

I FUCKING KNOW!!!!

People who block the escalator/stairs at railway stations. My local one has signs asking people to keep right, but there's always some dingus obliviously managing to take up the entire step. It doesn't cross their mind, that perhaps people could be in a rush to catch a train?

Anyone who shoves their phone in my face and orders me to watch a video-especially a long one.
Just fuck right off. And fuck off again.

I've got my suspicion it's DP although he won't admit it, he's also got a habit of switching lights on whilst it's not dark 🙄

Oh yes, this!
And also insisting “you gotta read this” I can’t read my own bloody phone without my glasses, so don’t expect me to read your minuscule font!😡

• “People that use a shopping trolley as a mobility aid, hunch over it and shuffle along.”

Aww that’s my DM. To add to your annoyance she needs a rest right at the entrance, creating a queue. It pains me.

Anyone who licks fingers before turning a page or handing me a bag.

Sniffing, sucking, breathing too loudly.

Surprise visitors.

People who give their kid a phone or iPad to watch as they're pushed along in the buggy

Annoying people in the way at the supermarket

My friend puts 'could have' and even worse instead of 'respite' she puts 'restbite' (wtf?) she's been corrected on both yet still does them

People who let their kids run riot / be a pain in the arse with zero consequence

Many more!

DP and the remote control…

We will be watching something, and the minute there is adverts, off we go, whizzing round the sodding channels… all the bloody channels, including the God channels, Al- Jazeera, all the foreign news and the obscure sports ones - but at such a pace, they become a blur!
If I leave the room to make a drink, we have quick snatches of programmes blaring out, and he thinks I don’t notice🤷‍♀️Just leave the sodding thing alone, for Gods sake!
He falls asleep with it on him, so I creep over and pinch it back, turn down the damn volume and then I leave the remote alone…
Good job he works away a few days a week… im too old for prison!😵‍💫

I can't stand this. My sister does it all the time and they are so incredibly unfunny and very obviously fake but she thinks they are hilarious so I do a fake polite laugh and hope she doesn't show me another one.

Loud sneezing
Speaking too loudly.
The saying 'To be fair.' Or "Fair enough.'
Loud sneezing.
Humming and whistling.
People who walk really slowly in front of you or really fast behind you.
People who 'hover ' and get in the way on public transport.
People who chat at the check out tills holding everyone else up.
Facebook attention seekers.
People who narrate everything they are doing.
Many, many more.....

That radio 2 doctor. Moist mouth Jarvis

Alot

abit

just incase

Aswell

@bakewellbride Oh god do I hate mothers handing their toddlers their phones or tablets and play or watch. E-babysitting shouldn’t exist.

Customers who claim that we keep moving the eggs.

I’ve worked there for 17 years and they have only been moved…….once and that was 12 years ago!

I’m currently on holiday transfer bus to the airport, so right now:

the person singing along to the radio
the person listening to TikTok videos without headphones

It’s not 8am yet 😫

Or when they do the same thing having got to the top of the escalator.

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

I'm severely allergic to wasp stings and always have to get up and move, if one comes near me. I can't help it, I'm terrified of the bastards, my heart rate goes up and I start breathing heavily. I'm sorry, it's not something I can control.

Bees, on the other hand, don't bother me in the slightest, nor other insects.

How rubbish some people's reading comprehension is

People who drive and tell me as a non driver it doesn't take long to get somewhere. It takes longer on public transport even without delay

Special points if this one comes from a recruitment agency who can’t see past their commission saying “But town X can’t be more than 45 minutes from you!” and refusing to acknowledge that you actually have to trek across London to Waterloo in order to get further away from said town and then take a 50-minute train there, before even considering that they’re on an industrial estate 20 minutes from the station.

Before I had a car, I had a job interview and said it’s city centre based. Nope! I don’t call 2 miles from the city centre the city centre. Plus the bus from city to where this place was were hourly and 15 min walk.

Game show contestants who bore on and on before giving their answer: "It can't be A because ... bore, bore, it can't be B because ... yawn, yawn, yawn, so it must be C". Just give the answer, Trevor.

Also game show contestants who start every sentence with "So" (especially looking at you, Pointless).

People (always men) who just stand in the doorway of a room, gawping, and not sitting down.

People who constantly say "obviously" when there is nothing obvious about it. Bit similar to the "like I said" ones.

People standing and yacking on the pavement with their backs to you, taking up all the space. And can't or won't hear you when you say "excuse me", forcing you onto the road.

But I don't get the ones about not having your purse / card ready at the checkout. Usually the first chance to get it out is when you have packed. Too busy up to that point.

Yes, I agree with all of these.
And… whilst queuing at the checkout I put my card in my pocket. Easy. Why can’t everyone do that? 🤷‍♀️

Lol! This is hilarious. The post was a joke.

Sigh. Yes, I know the multiple commas were a joke, but I don't think it was all intentional.
