People who you don't know, but you find them irritating!

[ADHDposs]

There a guy who lives near me, who I cannot stand, and I don't even know him. He's late 60's and has a Head Teacher vibe. He walks his dog at 7am with a neighbour, and the pair of them chat in BOOMING voices, as they stroll along the path. Tough luck if you are still in bed.

He had a lovely little dog, but it was never on the lead and was always miles behind or ahead of him, so much so, that I almost thought it was a lost dog and almost took it home. I presume he's not picking up the poo.

HIs wife took to Facebook the other day, with a long ranting post about how someone had deliberately put down poison and now the dog is dead. I obviously didn't comment, but I'm thinking Nah mate, you just don't watch your dog. I can't believe that anyone would have done that on purpose, but of course there were loads of comments supporting this version of events.

Silly me thought he wouldn't be out early in the morning anymore, but no, there he was this morning, at the crack of dawn, laughing at the top of his BOOMING voice with another local lady who HAS TO SHOUT ALL OF HER WORDS even when the person is stood right next to her. Don't people think they should keep at down when it's so early?

To top it off, a neighbour had a cherry picker delivered this morning. For some reason it has to emit an ear splitting BEEP when it's turned on, even if it's not moving. It started at 740am. Is this not really antisocial? I was walking the dogs, and as I went past the driveway, there was a MAMIL getting ready to go on an early bike ride, and I actually said to him that he'd probably woken up the whole neighbourhood. He mumbled sorry.

I don't know whether IABU, or just the older I get, the less tolerant I am of these types of people, who seem to have no regard to anyone else's peace.

Has anyone else felt similar irritation (not necessarily about noise)?

On local FB groups “what time does (shop/service/whatever) open?”

Why not Google it???

Yeah. Next door neighbours had their friend over, probably in his 50s, arrived 8pm Friday night, they laughed and talked loudly until 2am. STFU. Some of us need to sleep and are up early at weekends!!! Selfish pric%@.

Two school mums joined at the hip who always dress identically to each other with matching Dry Robes, black Crocs and black leggings with tight little buns on top of their heads. They're not very nice so I don't feel bad judging them.

"I was walking the dogs, and as I went past the driveway, there was a MAMIL getting ready to go on an early bike ride, and I actually said to him that he'd probably woken up the whole neighbourhood. He mumbled sorry."

Sorry...I don't understand? What was he doing to wake anyone up?

Ooohhhh the bloody Co-op Knobhead

YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU DO 😡

stares angrily in the direction of the Co-op incase she’s in there

A woman next door but one.
Pulls her bin outside her house on bin day then stands and surveys the street, left to right, up and down. For many minutes.
She honestly looks like she owns the street and is looking to see if anyone passing needs her permission to use her road.

And this next one , tell me you wouldn’t hate this woman:
At the airport approaching the security belt about 10 people in front of her near the belt, I’m about 4 people behind her. The queue is steadily moving forward, not static.
Decides suddenly that she needs her liquids in a plastic bag.
so
lays case down and opens said case across the entire lane.
proceeds to search through every section of the case to find liquid bottles. Lines each liquid bottle up on the floor. More and more bottles recovered from various compartments of the case. I counted 12.
Then, starts to search whole case again until finding the teeniest plastic bag.
Begins to put bottles into tiny bag with not a chance in hell of fitting the bottles into the bag.
Then starts to zip up every section of the case and try to close it. It won’t close due to the clothing sticking out, so pushes clothing which repeatedly flips back out and is overpacked so can’t close said case without great effort.
Then tries to stand up holding teeny bag, hands full of extra bottles, 2 mobile phones, one iPad, one set of headphones, one passport and ticket and the handle of the case.
Meanwhile, the people in front have well gone, no fucker can get past her, step over her and case and lined up bottles, the queue behind is huge.
Then gets to the belt, throws everything into the tubs, lady at security gives her another 2 bags.
Alarm goes off as she goes through the body scanner and guess what… her bag doesn’t get through but gets shoved to be opened and examined!!!

I just know with no evidence whatsoever that she would also be a fucking nuisance when getting on the flight holding everyone up putting her bag in the overhead bin, then taking it down to get stuff out holding up the other people trying to find their seats then when landing fucking around putting all her shit back in holding everyone up who needs to get off.
I felt furious with that stranger at the airport.

Working in hospitality, I encounter some very irritating people…

Those who are determined to find fault, no matter what
Those who look at the breakfast bar, at the 9 different cereals and moan
“oh-you haven’t got much choice”
The rude and abrupt man that read the pretty extensive menu, then asked for something we haven’t got, nor never likely to have… think eggs Benedict, smoked salmon, kippers etc ( in a 3* place! )
The person who threw an almighty tantrum because we didn’t do ‘pea milk’ and we were being discriminatory to her eating issues (😱)
The locals who seem to think because they live close, they should be given large discounts (Thursdays…every bloody Thursday they ask, 😢)

I’m glad I’m not alone! So many dickish people out there!

Neighbours posting on fb about the latest upgrades to the house - everything luxury, custom, bespoke, fitted bla bla bla. They don't mention that they never cut the grass, the front is full of dog sh*t, and the bin has been blowing about the street for a week!

Maybe he was hard of hearing?

At Ds's nursery there was a pair of double doors that opened both ways and often parents coming in or out would hold the door open for others. There was one mum who would just ignore those waiting and walk on through. It was so rude and she did it practically every time. And it really didn't matter, she probably saved herself a minute but was resented by most other parents. No-one really said anything to her, except a few "after you's!"

People in my road with Perfect Peter teens who voluntarily play multiple musical
instruments and do Duke of Edinburgh award hikes. Mine flatly refuse to do these things.

People on resort Fb pages who say 'what's the weather like atm, I'm coming over a week on Friday'. Why does it matter what the weather is like in over a week's time. Just look at a weather app and stop asking stupid bloody questions.

I work at a university and in the staff room at lunchtime there are always these 2 men (I think lecturers) who speak German REALLY LOUDLY to each other. Like booming. It’s not a small room but I can immediately hear them when I open the door, and even if I sit on the other side of the room can hear them above the general chatter level of everyone else. Just shut up! They seem so smug as well, like ‘we’ll just have a super loud conversation and none of you can understand us, hah!’

The 6 taxi drivers who have decided to use our road as a taxi rank meaning I can never park outside my own house even though I have a residents permit. I really really want to report them all.

Our neighbours opposite who don't speak to anyone, then moved out for 9 months to do building work with no notice to us about said works, leaving us to deal with the issues of builders vans blocking the road, noise (6.40am beeping from diggers, scaffolding being taken down at 7am on a Sunday etc) and the dust etc....but more irritating is having to make me look at their new ghastly olive green plastic windows and garage door on a 1930s mock tudor semi. So naff.

You can do. I have reported a taxi with no brake lights and TD swore at me when I mentioned it to him.

If it’s the same taxis - get their taxi plate numbers and council(s) they are registered with. There are loads of Wolverhampton council registered taxis where I live as their fees are cheaper and rules less strict. Until a few years ago only taxis registered in the council area could work in the area. Obviously they could still do journeys to airports.

Those customers who keep talking about politics to us and believe every word in newspapers. STFU we are not bloody interested. You are the idiots who voted Brexit as wanted the Poles, Romanians etc to go home. They are still here

I totally get this.
One of my friends I've met at a baby group comes with her husband, a massive backpack full of nappies, several changes of clothes etc, the babies car seat, the pram, a giant sterilising box for dummies with 4 in, wearing a sling at all times, 3-4 muslins attached to her backpack. They drive there and the walk from the car to the room is about 20 meters. The class is 40 minutes and she always says how she is going straight home for a nap

Would you have honestly felt better about this if they had told you beforehand? We told our neighbours/gave them a bottle of something etc but they still complained massively/we wished we hadn’t bothered trying to be nice. People are entitled to do building works and it’s going to be annoying regardless of whether or not we bothered.

😂😂😂

I don’t know why but this has really made me laugh.

@Angrymum22 - you don't need to quote the OP's post to answer it. Everyone will assume you are responding to the op by default.

oh yes the gym. Two women at ours who come out of a class and start taking selfies then get on the running machine and whilst walking are again taking selfies all the time. Last week one of them wasn’t paying attention and fell off the treadmill. Hoist by your own petard love.

but the worst is the bloke who moves the rower from one side of the gym to the other next to another couple of machines to form a little circuit. His selfishness enrages me! There are only two rowing machines and how dare you move it!

Don’t you find this though, the mothers of these types are always proud. My mother has no interest in me, I’ve a good job nice husband etc never caused her any trouble or embarrassment as a child or adult, do loads of stuff for her well I did - when I hear the parents of these awful adult kids extolling how wonderful they are and how much they love them I’m somewhat bemused (and a bit sad I don’t have that).

Thank you! I don't know why they all just suddenly decide to use our road for a week a month - must be something to do with the ranks but it's not fair on residents paying for our parking!
