For me it's when I'm sleeping in, maybe at the weekend or if I've worked a late shift and I hear cars going past in the morning around 8am and they are blasting music. It gives me a desire to want to slap them. I know they are well within their rights to do so, and therefore I am being unreasonable but I am just convinced they are annoying people inside 🤣 I'm not a morning person. Obviously.

Full fat coke please - are you asking for a can of liquid lard?
Can I get blah, blah? - No you can't, you have to be served by an assistant like everyone else, now fuck off with your stupid requests.
Gobby people performance talking on their phones /phones on loud speaker esp. on public transport.

Yes! There is no fat in coke

WhistlingStraits · 09/07/2025 16:28

Posters on here that put ‘D’ in front of everything.

I can barely stomach ‘D’H, but I accept it was an abbreviation and harks back to the days when typing in full on a phone was a faff.

But DDog, DCat, DNiece, DNephew etc? Ffs. It’s ridiculous and is JUST ADDING TO THE TYPING!

One of my colleagues at work who always has “concerns” she needs to share with whichever manager happens to be in at that time. Every day, several times a day and never massively important usually stuff she should deal with herself as per her job description, but she goes on and ON for ages. It’s not me she’s whining at and it’s not me that has to solve it, but we all have to hear about it as she ends up making damn sure we hear how hard she has it. I just want to yell “we’re short staffed! We don’t have time for this we need to crack on!” Instead I seethe.

People who call the person they have been on a few dates with My Partner.

People who call their 14 year olds boy/girlfriend their partner.

You’d lose your mind at the noise my husband makes when he sneezes. His whole family are the same. Incredibly loud and annoying.

Mine is the same actually all the men in his family sneeze like they are summoning a demon even more annoying is he follows each sneeze with an exclamation of "oh my god" 🙄

Ramadamadingdong · 09/07/2025 16:41

When the road splits into 2 and where its barely started people driving on the edge of the line like it makes a difference, them giving an extra 3 inches of lane makes no fecking difference! You're just protruding into the opposite lane!! Stay central people!!! And breath...

SkibidiSigma · 09/07/2025 16:42

People taking mounjaro without doing any research first and then complaining that they are disappointed in the amount of weight they have lost.

Just read one who has lost over a stone in 4 weeks and is moaning it's not enough. It's nothing to do with me, but makes me irrationally angry

Newname71 · 09/07/2025 16:44

People in shops or restaurants asking “can I get”. No you fucking can’t get! You can have! We’re not in America!!

The way my husband hangs washing on the line, to the point where I have forbidden him to touch any of my clothes.

He hangs his boxers along the leg seam, for example, instead of from the waistband. He hangs t shirts without straightening them first. He doesn't straighten socks before pegging them out. We don't iron, so these things are important.

And probably worst of all, doesn't colour co-ordinate the pegs with the item, or even use the same coloured pegs on each item.

I really have to restrain myself from going out and re-hanging his stuff correctly 😂

Edited

😂.We don’t hang washing outside because we can’t see the garden from inside the house and I forget it’s there. We have 2 airers in the utility room and gods honest truth it looks like he just grabs a handful of clothes and throws them at the airer!! When I hang clothes they rarely need ironing. When he does it……

People walking their dogs at the same time as me. I have a reactive dog and I feel I want the ground to swallow me up. I believe a rota should be put in place and every house gets a staggered start.

Same!

ToWhitToWhoo · 09/07/2025 17:00

Men who walk around shirtless. And especially if they flex their muscles,

Not much of a thing at this time of year, but people who sentimentalize 'white Christmas'.. I have co-ordination disabilities, and can't walk safely on slippery icy ground, so for me 'white Christmas' = 'lockdown Christmas'/

Anyone who wishes me a happy birthday, or tries to press me to tell them when it is (and no, it's not today!)

BigAnne · 09/07/2025 17:01

People who park on zig zag lines outside schools. Selfish moronic bastards.

terracelane23 · 09/07/2025 17:04

When people say yous instead of you. I totally understand what they mean but it irritates me.

Bluevelvetsofa · 09/07/2025 17:14

People who have their phones on speaker and hold them horizontally walking along. Extra annoying if it’s in the supermarket. I have no wish to hear your conversation.

People who leave trolleys in the middle of the aisle, then stand in front of the shelf for ages, so everyone else has to take turns to move on. I’ve taken to shoving them out of the way.

People who rummage for ever, right to the back of the shelves. I get that you want the longest date, but you’re messing everything up and they’re probably all the same date anyway.

My neighbours at the moment.

ForOliveSnake · 09/07/2025 17:39

I have one more! (Jeez, I’m angry)

Anyway, it’s people who are ‘quirky’ and ‘kooky’ at their weddings. Yeah, it’s not my wedding, but honestly seeing you and your bridesmaids/ushers/groomsmen or whatever jive down the aisle to some Disney song whilst wearing sunglasses makes my insides wither up and die.
Not once has it ever been funny, cool or cute. Sorry (I’m not sorry).

It's people sneezing really unreasonably loudly that does it for me. My DM is one- when she sneezes people dive for cover because they think a bomb has gone off/ceiling caved in/car crashed into building. She has no awareness of how loud her sneezing is despite being told of this fact for 40 years.

I have inherited my DM's sneeze but I have trained myself so I hold it in and do a little 'tish' rather than an 'AHCHOOOO!' I once held in such a big sneeze that I pulled my shoulder.

See also- genuine yawning which the yawnee then overexaggerates

I do the over-loud sneezes. I can either sneeze quietly and wet myself or sneeze loudly and not wet myself. I choose the noise over the incontinence.
Pelvic floor exercises have not yet been suitable effective.

"Hence Why" is my petty, irrational, rage-inducing quirk. I want to slap the wrist of anyone who says it with a wooden ruler like my old head teacher in the 70s. Hence. It's just hence.

Shetlands · 09/07/2025 18:01

People who put on a fake ‘I’m mad me’ persona.

People in public facing jobs who have an expression like a smacked arse (yes you Andrea in the pharmacy).

Male doctors speaking to me as though I’m 5 or have dementia - get in the sea!

Shop assistants not asking me for proof I’m over 60 on ‘over 60 discount day’ - rude!

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 09/07/2025 18:02

I’m with you, @WaitedBlankey. Trying to suppress a sneeze is a risky manoeuvre when your pelvic floor has all the strength and elasticity of a wet paper bag, as mine does. I do the exercises religiously and take a supplement that is supposed to improve things, but no joy.

It really is shit being a woman sometimes isn’t it. I’m not against men, it just feels so unfair.

And the damned kids who are the reason for the state of my pelvic floor won't remember to tidy their mess up in the kitchen without nagging.

I have given up the ability to not pee when I laugh for you, you buggers, so the least you can do it put your rubbish in the bin!

Yep, it isn’t fair and we have to live with that every bloody day!

ImthatBoleyngirl · 09/07/2025 18:11

Sex scenes and loud kissing in movies and tv programmes. I'm no prude, I just want them to get on with the bloody story. I don't need to see that! It gives me the rage!
