Lighthearted- What petty thing(s) bother you?

[AllaMova]

I have quite a specific example.

I have a family member who saves photos from my social media page, saves them and then posts them onto her own page. (Without permission.)

It has been driving me nuts, even though it’s so petty!

What about you?

Oh my good god I’ve been spelling the PM’s name wrong. I would like to unreservedly apologise. That is really annoying. I’ve annoyed myself actually.

I will add: damp sleeves.

People (pretty much always women) who stand around posing with their mouths open. It doesn’t look sexy, it looks like they are daft and have adenoid trouble.

Women who get lip filler and other shit done to their faces. It’s going to look awful soon and it’s going to date. A bit like those barbed wire tattoos.

Poo is the only acceptable word.

Adults who've never learned to drive.

People who don't know the difference between discreet and discrete.

Two separate words with very different meanings. Do NOT use them interchangeably.

Thank you.

Tinny music from games from DS phone.
Amazon refusing to ring/knock and just dump the parcel somewhere.
People reading but not replying to messages so you have to ask their partner and/or parents the specific thing you were told to ask them about.
The family in Lidl today who were basically browsing when it was rammed and I had two trolleys and a clear list. They were stood in front of most stuff we needed to buy, just standing there gassing about “oh is this the tomato’s we had in that recipe from your sisters cousins nephew?” And not actually PURCHASING the tomato’s, just standing in the way!

That’s me. I had some lessons, but I just couldn’t hack it. I have autism and driving was just too much for me to manage. I’m far safer to myself and others off of the roads.

I wish I could drive though!

Grrr…tomatoes! Petty, I know!

Why does that bother you? Some aren’t cut out for driving, and are safer off the road.

It's not. It makes you sound like a child. Why on Earth wouldn't you say you were going to the bathroom or toilet?

People that don’t know how to drive

Keypad tones on mobile phones. It's one of the first things I switch off when I get a new phone

The impossibility of having a light-hearted thread about minor annoyances without the misandrists showing up.

My phone autocorrect keeps changing correctly spelled words to other words - like of to if, then to than, were to we're (and vice versa). It makes me want to throw my phone out of a window!

I say "I'm going to drop the kids off"

People who are harsh toward non-drivers, and refuse to consider that some of us have genuine medical/ disability-related reasons.

Oh, and people who drive/continue to drive when they're not fit to do so, and thus endanger others.

Oh yes! From my experience working for a supermarket, it was ALWAYS in front of the milk, bananas and in the summer, berries. ie things that other customers need and for us to top up!

😆

It was quite a common thing, probably still is with older couples, that the man drove the car. The wife didn't drive. Probably took a few lessons from 17-20, then never did the practical test.

Think of your friends and family who are/would have been 80+. You can think of those who the man only drove.

I think about a third of the female colleagues at my last job drove. That was all of them in the 17 years working there.

At the pool.

I didn’t know that 🤭 oops

One of my things I do is to go on property websites and do a random search for properties anywhere in the UK.

These things annoy me in property photos:
. TVs are on
. Laundry is on airers. This applies to both inside and outside
. Dirty plates in the sink

You know when the estate agents come round to take the photos in advance. Wait until their photographer goes then put the washing on.

Then my work here is done. <bows, sweeps off hat>

Oh, I thought of another one!
The wet/damp patch on a tshirt when you do anything stood at the kitchen sink! So annoying

I quite like the idea of t shirts being sold saying things like Cleethorpes and Bognor and, I don't know, Stevenage.
