Small things that annoy you light hearted

[NimbleHiker]

People who just grunt at me instead of giving me a straight answer to a simple question. It is not hard to say yes please or no thank you if i ask you if you want a drink.

If DH did that, I susoect I'd find Holloway annoying.

Aks
Myself
Going up the hospital/school, etc
People chewing gum if they are serving
People who don't indicate
People who don't say please and thank you
Baby talk
Drips on the toilet seat
Cyclists on pavements
People who dither on street corners so I can't see the oncoming traffic
2026's incessant bloody rain

Dear pants, I love you dearly, I wear you daily. Please oh please don’t do that thing anymore where when trying to put you on my foot lands squarely on the gusset instead of through the leg hole.
Remove foot from gussetty trap, widen leg hole and then do exactly the same again (weeps)

It is also usually at this point the DH and kids will come marching in to witness the trauma inducing scene of mummy’s post shower tits flapping about and doing a demented knicker dance BECAUSE THEY WON’T FUNCTION AS NORMAL PANTS DUE TO SOME KIND OF COSMIC ANOMALY !😵 ‼️ ☢️ ☠️

I think that's just dialect though, its common in Midkands where I used to live

Dear Highways Maintainance Team
I'm glad you put signs up on our little street telling us not to park on our street for a week because you are doing some work.
But bloody turn up.

We've all made an effort to keep our cars off the road, inform visitors/carers for our elderly neighbours etc. But did you turn up? Nahhhhhh

I say this on everyone of these threads. Elsa is a queen, stop calling her a princess and show some respect you plebs!

I came on here to write the same comment, but I see you beat me to it!

I really don’t understand why this annoys me as much as it does. My spelling/grammar is far from perfect, so I probably sound hypocritical, but it really winds me up when I see this.

‘S for plurals
Even worse saw a sign in a shop recently - scarf’s
answering a question with a question
general useless communication- I was like and then he was like then she was like and I was like and we were all like - meaningless noise
not indicating
sniffing
chewing gum while working behind bar/waiting on
retail workers completely ignoring you- I don’t want to chat or have a new best pal but a hi when there’s only me and you in the shop would do it

People who say, "I seen...." instead of, "I saw....."
People who try to sound posh by using I instead of me... "This gift is from Dave and I."
The word yous/youse. This makes me cringe. 😂

When DH comes out of his office and asks “has anyone taken the dog for a walk?”. The fact that the dog has been asleep at his feet for the past two hours never stops the question being asked.

Estate agents describing houses “nestled” in blah blah blah.

My grandson does this, it drives me mad 😁

🤣

lol! Mine is when someone spells Angel as angle.

Oh my, is that not how it's pronounced 😱

No! It's MISS-ch-vuhss.

Noone instead of no one. See it everywhere now, including MN.

Children at the gym. My local one allows them in from 10. They’re supposed to be supervised but no one cares.

Genuinely don’t mind if they’re actually working out properly. Unsupervised groups of 11 year olds dangling off the weight machines and giggling at people can feck right off though.

Belt Wankers.

You should definitely listen to the LuAnna podcast this week (iykyk)

I have misophonia, so basically any bodily noise coming from someone nearby drives me a little bit insane, whether it’s chewing (especially if it’s with their mouth open. Chewing gum should be banned!!!), slurping, sniffing, teeth sucking, whistling, breathing…. 🫣 I’m so bad that I even have to leave the room when my cat is eating because he inhales his food so fast that he makes this horrible slurping sound. shivers

Of course I’m perfect and never make a sound. 😂

Oh, and people who don’t clean up after their dogs. The amount of dog poo all over our streets is just ridiculous. And those that do pick it up, if the bin is full, instead of just leaving the bag on top of the bin or on the ground next it, why can’t they carry it to the next bin or even take it home? I manage to do that and I’ve got my dog’s lead in one hand and my walking stick in another.

The posting of non-aibu questions in the AIBU topic on Mumsnet.

Cyclists who ride 2 abreast so you can’t get past grinds my gears !

Everyone is not being unreasonable to get annoyed about these small things.

Charging for cardboard carrier bags. It’s a plastic tax. Dicks.

People who don't flush the toilet. People who give me a running commentary on the task they are doing.
