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 live very close to a primary school. The disregard of the parents blocking the pavement every morning with their pre/ after drop off chats or after pick up chats/ ignore the fact that their kids/ scooters/ conversations are annoying pretty much everyone who isn't them is insanely annoying,

I have teens so I don't need to be actively involved in the pick up: drop off thing anymore - but when I was, I was always mindful of not doing this as it's so fucking annoying

Can I give you, from my late OH, if I said What do you fancy for dinner? He would usually reply I 'm easy. Drove me mad!

Traveling to Dr's/Hospital appointments in packs! Drives me insane

I was generously assuming irony to be involved.

This is so selfish - and potentially dangerous. Exactly where do they expect the people behind them to go? Serves them right if they end up on the floor with all the people who were behind them on top of them in a big pile.

Slightly niche, I'll grant you, but I would add contestants on gameshows who are about to begin an important round of questions or big finale - those who, when the host asks "Are you ready?" answer "As ready as I'll ever be!!!!", as if they thought up something amazingly witty and original to say, rather than a massively irritating cliche.

Ooh, I hate it when people try to pretend they're being flexible and easy-going, when they're just forcing you to make a decision for them that they can't be bothered with.

Especially the ones who make out that they're happy to leave it entirely up to you, but then look crestfallen when your guess on their behalf happens not to be their preference that they refused to share with you.

Genuinely easy-going would be something like "I quite fancy X or Y meals, but what do you feel like?" or "Coffee if it's no trouble, please, but if you're making a pot of tea, that's great too."

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

@CJ0374 So how do you expect people who have problems walking to do their shopping then? You can't push a trolley and use a walking stick at the same time, so you have to use the trolley as a mobility aid.

This is my dad. He's one of those people who somehow always occupy a space far bigger than their mere physical dimensions.

People who don't bother listening when you're giving them information and then ask again, not realising they're asking the same person and blame their inattention on you.
"The pool and gym are just through those double doors" on way to room.
5 minutes later call from room "How do I get to the gym & pool? The lady that checked us in didn't tell us"
I am the lady that checked you in and I fucking did tell you so don't try and make out I'm incompetent because you couldn't be arsed to listen!
Or you know, give directions through gritted teeth.

Yeah, that one sounds very ableist and, by extension, ageist too. Quite unpleasant.

What difference does it make to you if a person with very limited mobility finds a trolley more suited to their needs and preferences than a walking frame?

Are you me? 😁

Where I live, lots of drivers don't understand how roundabouts work. You give way to the left. People will just stop mid roundabout to let you go. I know they are trying to be nice, but that's not how it works. It drives me nuts

Putting a smiley face emoji at the end of a work email. I don't have a high powered job or anything but really, just no.

Stopping in a supermarket aisle with the trolley sideways blocking the entire way

I hope you don't live in the UK if you give way to the left!

That does my fucking head in ,so oblivious of other people.

People sitting in long lines of traffic, or at a red light, who don't leave a gap for others to enter or emerge from major roads to the side. So selfish and pointless.

@SeanBeansMealDeal - Canada

Phew - all good, then!!

That will be me
I do it to myself as well....

People who don't commit to a time and date for an event, even when they suggest it!

Ex.

(Via text message)

Does your ds want to come and play with our little Timmy at some point?

Sure, when?

Oh, whenever is good for you

Okaaayyyyyy....

Like, how long will this conversation go on for??

Grown adults scraping their chairs along the floor to get up, rather than lifting them.

’Little Prince/Princess on Board’ signs - fuck right off.

People who can’t drive on country roads, driving on country roads.

When kids are allowed to completely run riot around the supermarket/shopping centre. I was nearly knocked over on the escalator by a couple of little boys recently. Their dad didn't even apologise.

People who watch reality shows and then talk about them at length for ages. Sorry I know I sound like a culture snob, but I've shared so many offices with people who only talk about e.g. Love Island and ahhrgh. Please watch something else.

When people do the "we must meet up" dance when both of you know you're never meeting up. Annoying and very UK-specific.

When people turn the heating up to 1000 degrees.

People who tell interminable stories that go on forever and you have to feign interest. I love my mother but she does this.

Drunk people screaming/singing outside your window at 3am. Bonus points if it's Mr Brightside.

As a single person, everything couples do is vaguely irritating.

(I may be a miserable git.)

Mumdnet thread titles. Specifically something like "To think that school admissions is complicated".... in Education.
It makes sense in AIBU as the Abu bit makes it a sentence. In every other board...its half a sentence.

People who write of when they mean off. Also past/passed, your/you're and breath/breathe. Each one means something different.
