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.

People shouting something at you when you're in the shower/another room - I can't fucking hear you!

People who stand chatting in doorways and don't even move when you try to get past.

When someone says "I'll empty the bin", takes the bag outside but then gets distracted and forgets to put a new one in the actual bin.

When someone keeps getting in your way when you're trying to cook/make packed lunches - just fucking move!

People who suggest "a white lie". In the vast majority of cases they are suggesting outright lying.

Leave the toilet blocked so the next person ends up with an overflow 😡😡 putting empty packets back on the shelf..... walking past the sink full of dirty washing up and ignoring it ditto the wash basket

People who let their dog poo on my strip of grass verge and don't clean it up. This morning's lawn mowing seesion was pleasant not

'People' who offer to make you a cup of tea, switch the kettle on, then wander off for over an hour, emptying bins and mopping up crumbs with tiny, postage stamp sized pieces of kitchen roll, while you sit there like a sad, deflated balloon ...

Oh god, my Mum!

Every single time I ask her if she'd like a coffee she says "d'you know, that sounds like a really lovely idea!" as though I'd come up with something unusual.

Saying 'your phone's ringing' when one is well within earshot of said phone.

Making that 'uh, uh, uh, uuuuuuh' noise when yawning. Just why?

Saying 'Are you going anywhere nice?' when told someone is going on holiday. No, this year I thought I'd go somewhere horrible for a change... 🙄

Saying 'I'm a poet and I didn't know it' after inadvertently saying something that rhymes.

Saying 'bless you' every time someone sneezed. Gets old very quickly for someone with chronic allergies.

Trying to have a full-scale conversation from another room.

Or even worse: offer to make you a cup of tea, pour the water in, wander off while it brews and get engaged in some random task. Then suddenly remember the tea and deliver you some luke warm, over-brewed tea complete with the floating scum on top from where it's been stewing so long.

Mentioning no names, of course...

@Isittimeformynapyet my dh only drinks coffee - but manages to turn a yes/no answer into entire novel, usually starting with a long drawn out eeeerrrrrmmmmmm well…….

it’s teeth gnashing territory!

Two of the women in my office type with just their index fingers and both have big false nails and it's the loudest fucking thing.

Oh and another one: people in offices who hold the door open for you when you're miles away from the door, forcing you to break into a trot so as not to keep them standing there too long... and then you have to thank them for doing it.

Yes, I do know I'm a grouch. 😄

Another hot drink one: you ask someone if they'd like a tea or a coffee.

Them: yes please
Me: ... which would you prefer?
Them: oooh, whichever's easiest for you, dear
Me: it would be easiest if you just told me what you fecking want

I like this thread

Dawdling

This is me, I think. Such a narrow build, with stupidly football sized boobs. I despise them and really should get measured again so they can be tamed into submission.

Your post was full of bad grammar!

The hapless husband that doesn't go supermarket shopping often following wife around, getting in my way at every bloody turn.

People who stop dead in the street as though there couldn’t possibly be anybody walking behind them.

I quite often see that fast walkers are “statistically more sad”. This is true in my case, slow dawdles do indeed make me sad! Before the above is jumped on, I don’t mean anyone with mobility or sight issues which will naturally impede walking speed.

When people ask what I consider to be stupid questions.

I work in a community café where customers put milk and sugar in their drinks themselves. There are teaspoons, jars of brown and white sugar and a bowl for used teabags.

It's not uncommon for people to point at the white sugar and ask "is this sugar? Or salt?"

I really want to say "it's sugar for fuck's sake! What kind of arseholes do you think we are?"

Dumping a wet towel on the bed after a shower and just leaving it there.

People who stop at the top of escalators

Or the same group having a meeting in the aisle, blocking access especially now shops have those annoying glass cabinets, I take great delight in getting them to move so I can open the pesky doors. Most big shops have a cafe, go there to chat.

People men who expect me to move out of their way all the time. It’s unthinkable for them to move around me for some reason.

Or the other end of the escalator, especially on the Tube when a group with suitcases just congregate right at the bottom because they don't whether to turn left, right or just go forward.

In that situation I once drove round then reversed up to the front pump, the dawdlng driver was furious because he now has to wait for me as a large van was on the opposite pump stopping him getting by me. I took my time a bit.

DP has a habit of standing in a doorway I want to use, or in front of a drawer or cupboard I want to open, and it drives me mad!
