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?

And I'd tell you!

Oh God, yes, that's infuriating.

We have the same thing at church. They walk out of the door and then stop immediately so there's a logjam of people trying to get out.

My oldest teen currently wondering around going
“I have no bum hole, I am the great cornholio”

I can’t say anything because he will
just do it more. Who but the new generation of teens onto bloody bevis and butthead.

Both deserve to be shot.

People who sit with their car idling. Great for the environment. Great for people around it. Great for your wallet using up petrol.

Why do they do this? Genuingely why? Listening to the radio is a crap excuse. Most people can do that on their phone.

I live opposite a school. The amount of parents who sit there for 20 minutes with their car noisily humming is mind blowing.

Then in the winter when drivers decide that they cant possibly drive for a few minutes in a cold car so set it idling for 10 minutes before they leave, waking everyone up.

They are all twats. All of them I bet they park in disabled bays too even though they shouldn't.

And bikes thrown on the floor right in front of shop doors.

Problem is that many employers do the 3 periods of sickness in a rolling year and get disciplinary action. They maybe had two periods of sickness in the past year. They are scared of disciplinaries, getting warnings. The employers don't care if you had 3 years with no sickness.

Or these staff only get SSP which is rubbish.

People who phone you up and say, 'Just a quick call ...' at which point I think, oh good because I've got loads to do but they're still wittering on half an hour later.

I've learned to draw a line under it by saying, 'Yes, I have to go now, I have to prepare dinner/walk the dog/perform brain surgery.'

Should just be taken off and crushed.

My sister is a horrible person who lovebombs people, then belittles and humiliates them until they eventually wise up and ditch her. Our mum can't see it and wonders why sis has such 'bad luck' with friendships and relationships. I'd love to shout 'It's her! She's evil!' but obviously I can't and just mutter 'oh, that's a shame'.

Retired people that stand by bus stops at 8:45am on weekdays and every time a bus turns up between then and 9:30 (when free travel starts), they ask the driver could they board. No is the answer. Seen them standing outside in freezing weather too. They are called twirlies.

Then one day, I had a hospital appt at 10:40 and got the first bus after 9:30am. The twirlies who have been there since 8:45am then had to spend the next few minutes rummaging in their bag to get their pass out.

Tradespeople not turning up or coming to quote and then either not bothering to send it or purposely quoting too high.

1. Stop wasting my time. When I ask you to quote I always make it very clear (with pictures!) of what I want. If you don't want to do it or can't, don't say you'll quote.

1. Why outprice yourself? I dont understand! You dont want the job. Fine. Send me a text to say you are not doing it. Sending a crazy high quote just means that I think you are either a chancer or too expensive generally so I'll never ask you for a quote again.

If you're honest and say the job isnt for you, I might contact you again. Lie or be unreliable and there is not a chance you'll ever get work from me.

Tbh round here, I'm always surprised they are still there when the owner leaves the shop.

This is so annoying! I always end up making the decision

Hate this. Has happened twice this summer . If they don’t show then they don’t get a second chance .

People who don’t read texts for more than 24 hrs! Them they reply and it often doesn’t make sense because the moment has passed

What do you mean? It’s always been called nail varnish .

I usually idle for a few minutes before leaving, because my stupid car has all this automation that I have to turn off which make it dangerous to drive otherwise. Sometimes I need some time to set up my navigation system.

Haha DH’s car is like that. I refuse to drive it. It keeps doing emergency stops and it feels like you’ve hit someone / something but it just thinks you’re too close to a stationary object( when you’re not). It stops us with a massive jolt. It’s horrible. Have to turn it off every single journey. So it’s like being a pilot in the cockpit every single time we get in. Sooo annoying.

Yeah, I have experienced that twice. I still leave that option on, but I think I may have to turn that off in the future too.

I turn off lane-keeping assist, because it's rubbish and has at times tried to push me in another lane, because it got confused about the lines on the road. I have even had it trying to steer me into grass or into a car in the lane next to me.

I turn off max speed warnings, because they are wrong more than 50% of the time and it keeps beeping at me. It tries to read the speed signs, but often if will read a sign from another road and tells me I am speeding when I am not. Very distracting.

When it freezes I often get a sensor warning on the dash with a lot of text. Thing is, these warnings typically occur when I am of the freaking highway going over 80 kph. I am not going to read a bunch of text when I am busy driving. Ugh, who designed these systems?

I saw a woman with her bare feet on the seat opposite her on the train yesterday yuck. She kept stretching her feet and legs out, had very dry skin. I was just thinking, take note of the carriage I'm on in case I get the same one back in the morning I wont sit there.

I’d love to say “perhaps you are the problem” to several people. It sounds too spiteful so I wouldn’t say it but there are a few people in my life who seem to have absolutely zero self awareness and can’t take gentle hints. Also - focus your energy on bettering yourself rather than being jealous of everyone else and trying to take everyone else down a peg.
I wish I was one of those tactful, personable people who can say these things in a gentle way but I’m not!

It was judgy 😭 but I've had worse on mumsnet

Solidarity with you girl, its exhausting! I have accepted that bedtime won't be perfect but it will be done, and we will get some sleep, and thats enough x

I get why these things annoy you. I don't get why you 'can't really say so' though. Who do you think is going to be offended by you moaning about shit drivers at T-junctions?!
