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.

luckily wednesdays were oap days at the supermarket I worked at. unfortuneately I worked on wednesday

People who toss empty energy drinks cans everywhere. On litter picks, we can’t do one without picking up these.

Obviously they don’t contain enough energy for them to put can into a bin……

Plus the smell of original Red Bull and Monster! How can anyone drink that foul stuff?

People pronouncing ask as aks/axe 😝

People in lifts who don't move back to let others in, people who try to squeeze into a lift when there's no room

The loo roll thing, replacing it and not putting the card in the bin to burn.

leaving the fridge door ajar.

flushing the loo with the lid up

there are many more!

Adult son had a mate for many years. Mate had a girlfriend for 5 years then they moved in together. Lasted 5/6 weeks. All in their late 20s.
Adult son offered mate a house share. Lasted a few weeks and my son said he knew why relationship had ended.
He said his mate lived like a six year old. Made jam sandwiches and tea; left jam jar open on worktop, left bread open and all the slices fell out like a concertina and started to go stale, butter left out of fridge, milk left out, used teabag on worktop, buttery and jammy knife left out, tea caddy left open… That’s just one small example. he was like that throughout the house in every room. My son ( who is no domestic god lol) couldn’t stand it. Mate went back to parents.

Mums telling their kids to stop fucking swearing.

I'd not heard of vocal fry before, but having looked it up and watched a video on YouTube...

Snap! I hated this speech habit and now I know what it's called and that other people feel the same.

It's a real American teenage thing, but other demographics are guilty too. I saw the most recent version of A Star is Born and afterwards Googled Bradley Cooper to see if he'd had his some kind of surgery on his larynx. He hadn't, but he spoke with 100% vocal fry throughout - it was SO distracting. I've heard him in other things and he didn't do that, so it must have been is take on the character.

It hadn't really bothered me hitherto, but I'm now worried that I won't be able to miss it and be driven mad!

I absolutely HATE vocal fry! Equally with ‘up-talking’ - making a statement sound like a question. I want to scream.
Sounds v unfair but, if I were interviewing someone and they used either of these speech habits, I wouldn’t give them the job as I couldn’t bear to work them!

People driving really slowly, under the speed limit, approaching a set of traffic lights. They then floor ot, make it through the lights and leave you sat at the lights waiting. Drive to the fucking speed limit and then we could have all made it through.

When people drive really slowly and you're not sure whether to cross or wait

When people post screenshots of photos instead of downloading them to post or cropping out the bits that aren't the photo.

Haha, never go to Poynton.

I love this thread and I keep thinking of new things…
you send people a text/ email with time/place venue/ cost etc and there’s always someone later who asks What time? where?
I want to text back with READ or SCREENSHOT the f*cking text!!
Bloody lazy.

Mercifully my travelling days are over! I'm in Australia. It's bad enough in the main shopping street of my city.

Residents down my road park on the road and not in the space at the back of their home. Laziness.

A couple of residents down my parents’ road who have drives which can fit 3 cars on each - park on the road. Why?

Oh yes, and by extension, people who can't be bothered to exert the mental energy to retain this information, and instead prefer to ask you every time they fancy it. It's exhausting.

You are right GreenWheat.
Several years ago I was part of a small social group who used to do the occasional theatre/coach trip etc.
One trip was a short internal UK flight. I checked the airline for details about luggage.
I emailed the rest of the group saying that the airline made a point on their website about exact measurements of overhead luggage, a photo of a luggage basket’ pointing out that if your case won’t fit it won’t be allowed on as hand luggage. I gave the group the maximum measurements etc etc.
You can guess what happened. Mine was the ONLY case which fitted.
They all made an indignant fuss, one had to pay for her case to go into the hold, which meant we to bloody well wait at the carousel at the other end! the others took items out of their cases and squashed the bags in. Airport staff pissed off with them.
The most infuriating thing was that they had ignored my information, clearly thought they knew better, considered they had done nothing wrong, thought the airport staff were unreasonable and they moaned all the way to the plane.
I said ‘ I did tell you about the measurements’
I was furious. After that, I bowed out of future trips.

Give unsolicited opinions on decisions you have already made, never wanted or asked for opinions on and are very happy with.

I mean all the "ooh, but you should have done xyz instead of abc". Usually said by the thickest of people. I have just, finally, blocked one of them (have never blocked anyone before) and it is a very satisfying feeling.

AT LAST I thought I was the only one who had noticed the worse and worst thing - where is it from? I don't think it's US English.

People that cross the road into traffic when there’s a crossing twenty feet away in the direction they are headed!

What really irritates me in here is a big long story with all the Df said to Dh that Fil and Dc will go out after Sil comes home.
I give up straightaway.

I see it all the time too - I can only think people were never taught the difference - or just didn’t pick it up naturally, same as good, better, best.

You don’t hear or see people confusing better and best. I haven’t, anyway.

Not an Americanism AFAIK - I’ve only ever heard or seen it written by Brits.
