What tiny things make you irrationally annoyed?

[Bikergran]

Just that, really. I'll start with a few.

The way discount pop-ups scream at you on a shopping page as soon as you click on it. Excuse me, I haven't had a chance to look at the product yet, I don't KNOW if I want a 15% discount!!

Daytime TV adverts. Either they are for funeral plans, featuring perky older couples chatting gaily about "lovely send-offs" or overpriced tat that requires them to repeat the same information repeatedly for several minutes in the hope you'll be hypnotised into ordering it.

Supermarket layouts. Always moving stuff about, completely random grouping of items. For instance, my local Morrisons has just moved half its meat products on an aisle away from the butchery department.

I have dozens more, nothing major, but niggling.

This is totally irrational I know….but the word ‘indeed’ at the end of a sentence.
“Thank you very much indeed”
”Theres a lot of snow indeed”
“She’s a very good cook indeed”

is it absolutely necessary???

Irrational maybe… but it I grind my teeth every time I hear it.

Friends with lovely straight hair who sneer 'it's not even raining' when you put your hood up in the drizzle because yours is about to turn into a brillo pad.

DD sucking all the toothpaste off the brush while I’ve barely started brushing her teeth. People walking multiple abreast on a pavement and not making any attempt to shuffle over when someone else needs to share the same space. Flagrant disrespect for the non-uniform day rules which ruins it for all other parents with arguments over “well, Evie wore fancy dress, and Henry has worn football kit two times so why can’t I!”. DH driving at 72mph despite being on 9 points and needing his license for work.

People who go to a shop and say
CAN I GET
nit may In please have
Ignorant morons

Agree. Smelly bus people. Who knew so many people were so clueless about hygiene. And wash your hair skanky bus people too!

Should have, would have, could have instead of could have, should have, would have! Gah!

Omg so many now I’m peri menopausal it’s horrendous.

I’ve also totally lost my poker face

people too close to me in shops so o can feel their breath on me

my husband eating a yogurt and scraping the pot a million times.

peoples time keeping inc dh as he’s the worst one drives me insane.

school emails about events that are important one day before
I do work like most of us

catching my sleeve on the door handle.

dressing gown knocking the loo roll off the stand when I sit down

supermarkets having 1 fucking checkout open and a queue bigger than mount etna ffs

service charges being added to a bill in restaurants.
I always tip servers but I will tip what I want to not what they tell me.

awkwardness in general

retired people complaining about everything (my parents and in laws mainly)whilst having four holidays a year eating out twice a week and being healthy and well. That really really gets my goat.

Getting clothes snagged on doors
banging myself on cupboards
things falling when I’m trying to carry too much
knocking stuff over

The curtains/blinds not opened or closed neatly! Looks shite and drives me mad! I HATE clutter on window ledges visible from outside for the same reason. I.like.tidy.windows.

Also - Stickers (kids ones) on furniture. Grrrrr.

When we moved into this house there were kids stickers ON THE wiWINDOWS 😳 Imagine!
You can guess what i was doing even as the moving people were still bringing boxes in 🤣 They thought i was mental but i'd been waiting to get those flipping stickers off those windows for 3 months since viewing the place 🤪

People following close behind me. Either slow down to create a gap or walk past me!

Sheets / duvet covers which don’t have their size clearly printed on the label. When I become PM this will be my first act of parliament!

People who chew with their mouths open
Dawdlers
Other peoples laziness that doesn't impact me but irritates me on principle
People using their phones in public by putting them on speaker and holding them out in front of their face instead of using them properly so we all have to listen to their boring yammering

And being unable to over ride auto correct b

People who have a cold but don’t think to get a packet of tissues so sniff constantly and loudly. It’s worst when you are trapped next to them on a train.

Oh! I know the answer to this! I had to Google it after about the 350 thousandth time I complained to DH about it (it enrages him too- especially as we have young kids so could actually use the clean napkin). Anyway, it's to stop the cake/sandwich/whatever from sliding around the plate making it easier to carry.

Oodie wearer with REALLY STUPIDLY LOCATED KNOBS on the kitchen cupboards nodding here.

I'm convinced that they do it deliberately, as it happens across every browser, no matter how fast your computer or broadband speed. That split second delay where they know you'll be trying to click on the link you want, but you end up clicking on their site or advert instead.

Even worse if you allow sites to track you, as they will then register your apparent 'interest' in the random thing that you inadvertently clicked on and doggedly pursue you to 'continue where you left off with your purchase'!

It's bad enough when you click on something on eBay out of nosiness idle curiosity - something awful that you're viewing through your fingers, or monstrously expensive 'eBay porn'. Yes, I did deliberately click for a shameless admiring gawp at the beautiful pair of antique Samuel Pepys bookcases at £40,000 (plus £80 delivery, mind), but you're wasting everybody's time in emailing me, thinking that I might actually be in the market to buy them or have space for them!

people ringing me when I’ve sent a text- my mums is the worst for this! I might send a message and then instead of replying by message she’ll ring me. But if I could talk I would have called you in the first place 🙄🙄🙄

But presumably you realise it will be busier on a Saturday, not stand there complaining about it. I'm retired but my poor old brain can grasp it's probably not the best time to go if you need a quick exit.

But cake doesn't slide on a plate anyway! Brownies do, granted, but so does a napkin so it hasn't helped. Nope, not an adequate explanation I'm afraid, Google is clutching at straws 😂

Oh, and another Oodie related irritation (I love my Oodie really) - sweeping all the tea towels off where they've been hanging on the oven rail or the back of a chair every time I turn around.

Wearing an Oodie is like wearing a ballgown. You need a HUGE turning circle.

Elsa's inclusion in the Disney Princess collection. She's. A. Queen.

Endless adverts on BBC TV when you're waiting for your programme to begin. Just because it's for another of their programmes, or for TV licences, it's still an advert.

Mind, they also do it on the Channel 4 premium online streaming service. They encourage you to pay to enjoy an 'ad-free experience'... then you still get adverts for other programmes anyway that spoil your seamless enjoyment of the programme you're actually watching. And no, wasting even more of my time at the start to inform me that, although I've paid for no adverts, I'll still get adverts regardless does not make it alright.

Sunglasses sliding down off my head when l look down, especially when my hands are full, no idea why it enrages me so much, possibly to do with it being something done to you that you have no control over or some such.
Makes me want to rag them off and launch them as far as l can.
Also my laptop, forever randomly freezing or logging me out my email address and l have to practically dig up all my descendants to identify that yes it is me trying to get back in. Oh and despite connecting it by cable (long since given up on wireless) it keeps saying can't find printer. Not sure what neighbours think but have regularly yelled at it that it's in bastard front of you and connected to you.
