Things that PISS you off, but you can't really say so.

[pinknailvarnish1]

I have a few. Can't say them out loud (except to DH).

MIL & FIL - multi millionaires. Spend loads of money on themselves, lavish holidays, sports cars, only the very best restaurants etc. Never ever do they give a penny to their adult children (and one is flat broke). This is despite them both having been given property and a thriving business by a parent themselves.

My Dad - Overbearing, alcoholic, violent outbursts etc, all through our childhood. He's now decrepit and I have to do so much for him. I resent it.

Brother - keeps saying he's broke, whilst living like a rockstar. Just spend £20k on a holiday, lives in a £600k house, drives top of the range car, but often claims poverty - stop lying!

And breathe......

Anyone else?

People who stop me in the street to tell me they/their mum/granny/cat used to have ginger hair. I always want to do that Alan Partridge hands in the air so-what face. Extra points to the old lady who went into her purse to get a photo out to prove it, it was a black and white photo.

I have several, I am super sensitive to things so with no names,

• slurping cereal or spaghetti,
• refusing to use a knife to eat,
• walking around whilst brushing teeth making a squiching noise like swirling saliva,
• singing a song you only know one line of so this gets repeated over and over
• people calling me pal, I am a grown woman and probably not their pal
• people copying me and claiming it's their idea
• not reponding to messages for days on end then apoogising for not responding, literally every time
• doing the dishes and not putting them away
• drying your hands with your hair
• inside out or scrunched up socks in the wash
• changing the toilet roll but leaving the carboard inner part in the toilet

I could go on forever....

All understandable, but just a few points:

• The majority of people don't save enough money into their pensions, so although you can't touch them until late 50s or retirement, any money put into your pension is money put in a good place.
• Is it still possible to have a rainy day fund that's smaller than £30k and allows you to receive child benefits? I don't know the threshold, but something to look into maybe.

I am unreasonable but my neighbour parks outside my house every night despite having an empty drive.
I know it’s a private road and anyone can park there but it makes it awkward (but not impossible) to get off my drive and it beyond pisses me off

Those twatty cars with young male wank stains at the wheel, whose exhausts are designed to pop/bang/roar at ear splitting levels. Blowing a loud exhaust used to be an offence. Like most other daily aggravations, the 'authorities' couldn't give a shiny shite. Every time I hear one, I want the driver hunted down, the car burned to ashes in front of him and his licence revoked forever.

My nine-year old granddaughter's appalling manners and my son's total lack of interest in doing anything about them. She's my only grandchild and my son's only child and we all love her. However, he's got the classic guilt going on because he split from her mother several years ago, so he spoils her by way of some kind of 'compensation'. She doesn't need 'compensating'. She's had the best of everything since the day she was born, she has two co-parents who are on cordial terms. She just has to open her mouth to say, 'I want' and he makes sure it's there. It infuriates me when we go to family meals and he won't tell her to get her face out of her tablet and speak to the assembled company. 'Please' and 'thank you' got out way down the road.

My lovely partner's completely over the top driving manners. We have to have a running commentary. "Oh dear! Maybe I should have let that chap go. He wasn't indicating, though". This will go on for a mile. Meanwhile he's not looking at the road and not paying attention to where we're supposed to be going until I remind him. Majorly thanking, flashing and waving to someone who has just let him in on a filter lane. It drives me insane. I feel like saying, "Why don't you just pull over and offer the bloke a nosh and really make his bastard day?" Fuck's sake! JUST DRIVE!

Thanks for that.

I would include younger people who like to blame oldies for all the ills of the world. Lazy, ill-informed thinking based often on a very small sample usually.

People wearing thongs to swim in. I've seen it round pools at family resorts and even in UK leisure centres

even if you're gorgeous we don't need to see anyone's arse. It's gross.

@Thehop even if you're gorgeous we don't need to see anyone's arse. It's gross.

Disagree, some people clearly have a nice arse.

People who say they will look after your dog whilst you work away for 10 days. I had planned a trusted petsitter booking which offended them, and now they can't do it for one of those days. My dog is an elderly rescue and can't go to boarding kennels as she made herself very ill with stress last time.

Inlaws signed house over to their daughter. She is one of 3 siblings. There was no family discussion between siblings and parents. 2 brothers were given £20k each. House worth in excess of £550k. No mortgage as inlaws had cleared it. Kitchen was extended to accommodate 4 adults 3 kids. Loan out through her hubby's company. Lian was £30k. Theyalso owned their own house about 80 miles away from parents. Sold that and made a profit of £260k.
Am livid that the boys were dismissed in the way they were. Don't give a crap about the money as everything we gave we did ourselves but I just feel the boys weren't even considered.

People using 'ect.' instead of the correct abbreviation of 'etc.' when they want to say 'et cetera'. It's rife on here and people will use the wrong one multiple times in the same post so it must be intentional.

I'm not going to be that person who deliberately points it out, but it annoys me.

reading the ones about yoghurt pot scrapers, my partner tiddles with certain food dishes, such as risotto or savoury rice. I don't think he realises but every fork full is preceded by moving bits around several times before he's satisfied with the combination of food on his fork, it irritates me so much, but feel mean to say anything, so I either seethe or eat separately.

This drives me mad too. They probably pronounce it "exetra" too 🙄

My sister and her partner who are on the second year of their round the world tour sending me WhatsApp photos from some fabulous beach somewhere while I'm in a shitty work meeting.

DH does this…… makes me murderous

To be fair,
those are all very annoying !

Girl math, girl boss, girl .....(anything)
People who use one hand for cutlery stabbing at things, who don't cut food but manoeuvre it to fit into their mouth, whose general table manners are awful.
People who say "it fit" instead of "it fits", or "fitted".
Americanisms - any/all.
How posh people on UK Homeworthy absolutely live on a parallel planet and don't comprehend their generational privilege (yes I still watch).

People who still talk about their time at 'college' , ie Oxbridge, thirty years on.

People who talk about their children's achievements/lives/sports etc without taking a breath to actually have a conversation. Luckily I only know one or two of those, but it is so fucking boring. Our kids are all practically grown up. No one is interested.

My lovely friends who say 'ladies' instead of women. That pisses me off but no way can I pull them up on it.

People who have to be the main character at all times, even when the situation has fuck all to do with them. If they can’t claim to be personally affected, they have to be the hero who saves the day.

And air drumming.

I cook my Kievs in individual enamel pie dishes now, no fighting over the garlic butter and they go in the dishwasher too

Ooh, that's genius!

Loud, rough people who shout at each other and their kids. I fantasise that they get operated on and something is done to shut them up.

The cats constantly asking for food then refusing what I give them. I buy them nice foods and they look down their noses at it. Obviously they're still eating as they're alive and healthy, but I dread feeding time. Sometimes I just give them some kibble and tell them to sod off.

The placement of the comma 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

The Americanisation of our language. I hate, hate, hate it.

Friend who always goes for completely shit men. Loves male attention, it's all she talks about and it drives me nuts.
