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.

Would love to know if the wife even gets a look in or if it's spent on a new train set for the loft

When you cook the evening meal and shout DH and DC's that it's ready and they take so much time coming to get the HOT meal you've prepared. I sit there watching it go cold and seethe. I am not sure why it irritates me so much but I get the rage every time.

I work in a shop and when it's a lovely day I get "ooh it's a nice day outside shame you're inside" yes it is and you pointing it out doesn't actually help.

Likewise people who remember they forgot something when they are at the checkout and decide to go off and hunt for it with absolutely no rush at all !

One of my pet hates! If you forget something, other people shouldn't have to suffer. It's incredibly selfish. A woman kept us waiting for ages last week. She came back all flustered apologies. DP said 'Awk don't worry, it's easily done'. I channeled Paddington with a hard stare. You can tell who stands in most of the queues🤣🤣 I suppose at least she apologised. Plenty just brazen it out.

When you indicate for the bus to stop and everyone pushes in front of you and then they realise they need to pay / get their bus pass out

I never do that, but will say "this is the place to be" when the weather is either stinking hot or cold. It's meant to be a nice comment, but would you find it annoying or repetitive? I don't have any friends in retail, I'm genuinely asking, because I don't want to be one of the annoying customers!

Ha, timing - I forgot something at Aldi today, looked at the queue and decided to get it at the other store near me.

People who who are really easily irritated by minor things. And complain about other people doing minor things. Nothing more irritating!

Saying things that are obviously not true ,like ‘your hair looks nice’ when it clearly needs washing or ‘ the tulips look great’ when they’ve gone over.

Not putting the shopping basket in the pile properly so I have to sort it out before I can put mine in

Walking out of a shop without looking right in front of me, and then stopping!

People who talk very loudly in restaurants.

I could give yourself a list with some pacifics

People who pack bags in the trolley at the checkout instead of moving over to the shelf in Aldi and Lidl, then spend ages finding their phone or their purse or wallet in order to pay.

If there are several bags in the trolley, they can never keep up with the rate the stuff is scanned through as they carefully pack each item so the checkout operator sits and waits for them to finish packing and the queue gets longer and longer ... 🙄

I could write a book. I'm so intolerant

People who use Americanisms when they aren't actually Americans. Pissed, parking lot, store etc

People who say hubby and tummy and other infantile words
People who grab and chuck and bung and throw food around.

When people do that leg bounce/shake thing when sitting down. Drives me mad.

People parking their bikes on the pavement in such a way that they're almost horizontal across the pavement and difficult to get past.

People who show exaggerated performative pity over some symptom such as a hoarse voice, and conclude with, 'Well, at least it must get you lots of sympathy!' (One thing that has become much less common since the pandemic.)

People wishing me a happy birthday, or trying to find out when my birthday is.

The whole concept of milestone birthdays!

People who are in charge of maintenance, who don't do their job, or do it partially and leave a lot of mess behind. A constant issue, both where I live and in my workplace.

Young men who walk around with their hands jammed down the front of their joggers 🤢

Other quiz annoyances

It's a bit before my time

Mum/dad/wife will kill me if I get this wrong

People who send a Teams message “Hi Merluzzo, how are you?” and nothing else. Then wait for me to respond before asking their question. I never do as I’m busy, just tell me what you need from me in your first message.

Heavy sighing with self pity in the staffroom, corridor and then when asked if ok saying, 'Oh nothing, I'm fine... you know me'. My DH silently appearing right behind me because he's wanting to use the sink, bin or whatever but can't move out the fecking way and wait a few seconds, creeping bloody Jesus giving me a huge fright. Eating noises from anyone that are not my children. My neighbour hovering around to speak/brag about something inane, leaves me seeming an utter cnut as I busily walk straight past breezily saying, 'Hi Gemma, lovely day' and into the porch. I have a low tolerance for many adult things but v high for kid things!

Ooooh...

People who can't work out that 'merge in turn' is a/ what they're supposed to do and b/works if twats like them don't actively fuck it up.

It is fascinating that the human ego cannot stand the idea of letting someone in, so much so they'd rather cause one long tailback that reaches a junction or roundabout, rather than have two shorter queues that do not.

The irony is they don't like that someone has 'flown up the empty lane to the front of the queue'... but if everyone used both lanes until the point one lane ends, there would BE no empty lane for anyone to fly up!

And..

People who miss out lots of words in posts, so they post like this:

"Went to shops Friday, no beans! Man said not been delivered, disaster!'

Instead of:

" I went to the shops on friday and there were no beans. The member of staff there explained they hadn't been delivered, what a disaster!"

You're not being charged per character and there is no character or word limit!

People that let their kids run wild in public places.
Loud people and screaming children.

DP has this thing where every time he gets into the car he has to touch every single button/dial and it drives me insane. He starts with the climate control, then changes the radio station and then messes around with the drive mode. Fine when it’s his car, really fucking annoying when it’s mine and I have to change it all back. He doesn’t even set and leave, he’ll continue fiddling the entire journey 🤬

Not understanding percentages. This a big one on TV shows, especially anything involving a mentor or judge. 'You've got to give it everything, I want 110%!' And the contestant replies 'I'll give it 120%!'. It makes me wonder why not say 400% or 1000% or a billion willion zillion, as you're only making up rubbish anyway.
