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.

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

Good choice @anonymous98

Absentminded drivers plodding along at 40mph in a 60, but then when the speed changes to 30 (going through a village for example) they continue to do 40!!

I have always had black eyebrows and blonde hair even from a small child when my hair was white blonde.

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

How does this impact you ? Be grateful you don't need mobility aid FFS.

@toomanyy No. Read the post. She hates bad grammar and too many emojis….

I did read it but I think she has genuine issues with grammar as well.

Cyclists who use the road when the pavement alongside actually been designated a cycle track.

Drivers who don't indicate especially on a roundabout, how hard is it??

Also drivers who stop as they approach a roundabout when they dont have to! The whole point of a roundabout is traffic keeps flowing, otherwise they would have kept the junction that was originally there.

Indicating is not just for drivers but alao for pedestrians. Waiting to cross at a local crossroads and trying to guess are you not indicating because you're going straight ahead or because you're a selfish shit who doesn't feel they have to, and then they turn at last minute and I could have easily been across. Take more notice of what's going on around you?

People who are waiting at a bus stop/till /station barriees etc and seen surprised that they need their pass/ cash out and then spend time finding it?! Once you're in the queue get it out ready.!

Yes, and instead of just moving aside they stay there then are shocked when people concertina into them as they have left no where for other commuters to go.

I get public transport a lot and I cannot stand people who sniff constantly (use a tissue) and people who eat loudly on buses.

There is absolutely no need to eat a full meal/share bag of crisps/pasty/Mcdonalds on a 20 min bus journey.

Not being ready to eat when you have made hot food and given them a heads up that it's almost ready.
It's sitting there getting cold while dh goes to the loo, puts some music on, gets a drink....🙄

People who are shocked when they are asked for payment after their food shopping has been scanned. They've been standing there looking about idly. Instead of being ready with payment and bags, they then have to faff around while everyone else waits.

People who drive through red lights when they should have stopped.

People who are trying to turn at a crossroads where no turn into that lane is allowed. They just sit there while 4 cars honk their horns and traffic is backing up until they get a chance to turn. They never think, wow everyone is honking their horn at me, maybe I am in the wrong.

People who eat while walking in the street/ on a train/ bus.
People who can’t go on a walk or walk the dog without a coffee in hand.

So many of the listed things irritate me about people. I don't like people for the best part and so many are a pita anyway.

My SIL. My husband ( her brother ) will text her and their other sibling about a date for meeting up. Meet up, with spouses as well ,every 2 months or so. Great fun once we get there. " Hi everyone ,how about a get together. We can do 5th, 9th and 14th. Any of those any good ? SIL will reply ' Sorry, we can't do those" without saying " But we could do XYZ dates". Or she'll say "Sorry can't do the 5th". Right but what about the other 2 dates. If you text back and query the others she'll say " I can do those but John can't . She's not ever going to come along without John so she can't do those dates either. John is far too superior to look at his phone and actually reply. I stay out of it now and just wait to be told which date we are finally going. They are lovely people but ND so she answers the direct question " Can you do? With a direct answer. No I can't. The added bit of " But we could do...." just isn't something her brain can do. She's 76 so she isn't going to change. It's become a little dance we all do

My SIL, who always, in deepest winter, gets up to leave, then decides to start a new topic of conversation while I am standing with the front door open letting all the heat out.

People who get to the top of an escalator and stop walking until they figure out where they’re going. Pretend you’re a car! Keep walking until you can pull over to the left somewhere and figure it out!

People who shake out their bags for life at the self service checkouts so it fills with air and makes such a loud noise it jumps me out of my skin. Just put it on the scale there’s no need to throw it around to inflate it!

when two people slightly get in each others way (usually in a supermarket) and one says a very British ‘oops sorry’ expecting the other to mumble ‘ha, yup, sorry’ and then the second one says “it’s ok!” 😡😡 no it’s not ok! You’re supposed to mumble ‘sorry’ too and now I want to retract my apology!

people who don’t understand that you should walk on the left!

Cyclists in groups. I live in the countryside. I have no wish to kill anyone. I often follow the members of cycling groups for miles because the road are too narrow and winding for me to safely overtake. I end up in the lowest gear, crawling along behind. The groups are usually quite spread out ,many yards apart. The first people get to the junction but they don't wait for the others to gather, wave me past and then exit the junction and carry on whilst I have been able to drive off and get on with my day. Oh no. They exit the junction in dribs and drabs so I have to follow them for the next 3 miles at 5 miles an hour. FFS regroup at the junction, let me get past you and then carry on.

Having loud conversations on their mobile phone on a bus. All trivial nonsense.

I saw this on Facebook and remembered your post! 😂

People who walk behind me when I am reversing.
So many parents with children just carry on, even though I am moving, with hazard lights going.
I drive a van. Don't they realise I haven't got X Ray vision?
This happens most often in car parks.

I stopped and pointed out to one woman with a child in tow that she had decided to walk behind a moving vehicle with said child.
She said that she could see me “start rolling backwards”
“NOT rolling backwards, I was actually reversing, you foolish woman,” I explained politely.
Not exclusively women with children either, I actually had a man cross the street diagonally, going out of his way to walk behind me when I was reversing out of a drive. Wtf?

I now have a sticker on the back, explaining to idiots that if they can't see my mirrors, I can't see them.
It won't stop the ones who just decide that they are entitled to get in the way of a moving vehicle. Yet if I hit one of them, it'll be me who will be in the wrong.

Yep, that's the eternal problem with signs: the only people who ever bother to notice/read them are the ones who were smart enough not to need them in the first place - and then they wonder why on earth you needed to put a sign like that up!

Anyone who says 'super' in front of everything and 'reaching out' can fuck right off.
Red mist is descending.....

my MiL when offered a tea does a whole thing “only if you’re putting the kettle on anyway, don’t go to any trouble, ooh I don’t know are you having one?”

Would you like tea or coffee?
What are you having?
I'm having tea.
Yeah, okay, I'll have coffee next time then.
I'm building a patio......
