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.

I drive into parking spaces as apposed to reversing in majority of the time. I need access to my boot to load shopping,bags of feed for horses anything for the stables etc. I can't access my boot nor able to lift stuff easily to the boot.

Ooh yes to those definitely...

People who leave their trolley in the middle of the aisle or wander off but leave their trolley blocking shelves.

Drivers who don’t use their indicators. As a driver and a pedestrian, this is both annoying and dangerous.

Going into a coffee shop and ordering a flat white that is definitely not a flat white. So many can’t make them properly, it’s weird.

The parent WhatsApp group for my DDs class.
It can be useful at times but theirs a few people on their who seem incredibly lazy and stupid, they ask ridiculous questions. I don’t know why it bothers me, I just find them very annoying. I always think ‘just read the newsletter and school emails like everyone else!!’

Hearing my colleague swallow her tea. She drinks cups and cups every day and has a way of swallowing that is loud and obnoxious.

We drive into parking spaces forwards because we generally have a giant breed dog in the boot and they need enough space to jump out when we open the tailgate.

My DB who's table manners are non existent. On the rare occasions we eat together I have to listen to his food mulching about in his open mouth SO loudly.

When you stop to let a pedestrian cross the road and they dawdle like mad getting across or start walking diagonally. Just get out of the bloody road FFS!

I live with dh and 3 ds’s (two of whom are teens). For some reason these 4 males seem to have great difficulty in flushing the toilet. I even put up signs in the bathrooms reminding them to flush yet they still don’t. It definitely makes me irrationally angry

I’m accepting those who buy a few things on Saturdays . It’s those who do their full weekly shop that annoy me (and working age customers) more than the ones that buy a few things like yourself

People who apostrophe words when meaning to be plural. Like tomato’s, banana’s. It’s tomatoes and bananas!!!!

People yawning loudly, it's so annoying! Oh and sneezing and adding a performance level choooooooo at the end!

Why shouldn’t we though? You think we all sit round all week thumb twiddling? We don’t have full lives? Anyone should be able to go into a shop on whatever day and time they want to, and buy whatever the hell they want. Retirees are not second class citizens. Have a word with yourself!

With the sneezing, I will bless DH three times then tell him he will receive no more blessings from me 🤣

People driving fast, performance cars slowly at 40mph everywhere. 20mph speed limit or 60mph speed limit… they are still going at 40mph. Also, why drop ££££ on a performance car if you are never going to leave 3rd gear! They are also usually wearing a hat of some description whilst driving.

Shop staff and bar staff who say, "are you OK?" instead of next please or who's next!
I want to say I'm fine thanks how are you?

A colleague of mine who stirs his coffee so many times that by the time he’s finished it will be cold. I want to scream!

School constantly asking me for voluntary contributions for this or that. If its voluntary like fuck I'm going to pay for it.

Or even worse the PTA asking for wine or chocolate for the tombola - always organised my some thick as shit mum who hasn't realised that asking people to spend a £5 on crap wine they will sell raffle tickets and raise £1 for is not sensible.

Because anyone with at least one brain cell would want to choose the quietest time they're in a position to go in.

when you have dished up the dinner and said " dinner ready" and takes everybody ages to get to the table, I know its their fault if its cold but just bugs me lol

Oh yes. I can't bear seeing on MN how people do this to names and dates. For example, 'how many Milly's do you know' and 'in the 80's we used to...'

Thanks @ThatNaiceMember I may follow that next time. 3 blessings are plenty for him!

I always give the same answers to this question so this time I'm going to be different and literally choose tiny things.

The telescoping pin things on watch straps that are so difficult to fit.

Earring butterflies when they are too loose and fall off.

Slugs, especially when they eat my beans - but maybe that's not irrational.

The metal hook things that the laces of your hiking boots go around, when they bend out of shape or go rusty.

Rubbers that are too hard and don't actually rub anything out.

Jelly beans, specifically when a really nice flavour is almost exactly the same colour as a horrible flavour (and no, I don't live in the wizarding world - it happens with real ones too).

It's even worse when they do it to some plural words but not others! The cafe at my office has a sign saying "tea's, coffees, panini's and pastries". WHY??

Or don't go at all, get it delivered
