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?

I love this idea!

I can relate to a lot of the things people have already mentioned and am struggling to think of anything new…..
I don’t like the continuing trend for 3/4 length sleeves. I will see a lovely shirt or blouse and then discover that the cuffs sit at an irritating point on my arm where they constantly fight with my elbow joint or just feel awkward and uncomfortable. Make them long or short please.
It is lovely when somebody else washes up after dinner but somehow their attention ends once the last item has been put in the drainer and I find a washing up bowl full of oily, tomato water and a garlicky sponge floating on top.

Voice mail on WhatsApp. One member of family does this because she can’t be arsed to type, or maybe she’s multitasking, but she’s leaving her thoughts, I can’t just play it in public, so have to wait till I’m alone, remember to play it and then respond. Why can’t she text??

Temporary traffic lights that remain long after the work has finished, because nobody can coordinate timescales to remove them promptly.

Road works that mean every route out of where you live is affected. Just do some joined up thinking and plan a rolling programme.

Road works where no one is actually working. Can you tell we’re suffering round here.

Road works when as a pedestrian there's nowhere safe to cross

People who say Pacific instead of specific.

Oooh, a million things, OP! Thanks for the thread.

Public clocks which don't work or show the right time - get rid or repair.
Lots of crappy, flappy, torn and scrawled notices hanging off walls and noticeboards - anywhere really, but especially in hospitals. It is SO depressing, when you're already stressed and worried. Calm spaces, please!
People who stop/stand in doorways and entrances - everywhere but especially on the tube. Move aside!
People in pairs or groups who somehow think they have a right to the whole pavement/footpath and don't move into single file when they meet others.
Retail staff who ask if you need a bag when you have clearly brought 4 of your own with you.
The tendency for older people to think they have to wear beige...go for it and wear bright colours!!!
People who strip to vest tops and shorts the minute the sun appears, despite it being actually very cold (none of my business, sure - but you asked what irritates us!!)
People with drives the size of a football pitch who park on the road.

And a million more...

Ah,the relief of getting that off my chest.

Someone asking me what to do about their hair. When presented with their options - they refuse to do the bleeding obvious which is speak to a hairdresser as I’m not one.

When people use the word brought when they mean bought. Or pronounce the word bald bold. If someone loses their hair they're bald.. not bold

I'd say I was going to the loo

But I wouldn't say 'mind that dog toilet/bathroom/turd/crap/doodoos/feaces'
I'd say 'mind that dog poo'

Oh wow!- yes to both you and Buscobel! We are overrun with roadworks round here, and the most annoying thing is that no one TELLS us where and when the roadworks will be,

We have our friends dog while shes on holiday

He's a lovely dog,getting on a bit (aren't we all?) and is no trouble

Im the one who's fed him,walked him (in the rain),picked up his poo given him a bath,washed his harness,bought him some treats,keep getting up to let him into/back in from the garden and played with him

Dp is at work all week so the slack has been left to me-thats fair enough

However,this dog worships him

The second dp walks through the door tonight,the dog will forget i exist,will be soooooo pleased to see him and will sit all evening by dps feet fluttering his eyelashes and begging for another forelock to tug

He even sleeps on the floor next to dp and follows him to the loo in the night (he doesn't even wake up if I get up)

Tomorrow (and the rest of the week) ill do at a push until dp walks through the door,rinse and repeat until he goes home again

It really pisses me off (lighthearted)

People who can’t use apostrophes.
The words bespoke and iconic,

There was a footpath closed. Except you weren't aware because there was no signage until you got to the closed footpath! Had to go all the way back and find a crossing. Main road no way I was going to try and cross it

sorry if this has already been suggested but I couldn’t cope with the overwhelm of driving until I tried automatic, then I learned and passed quickly!

Oh yes. Me too except the Temu one.
I’ve never used Temu.

My pet irritant is catching my clothing on a door handle as I pass thru. If I’d tried to do it, I’d never succeed.

No, can't say I've ever done that 🤣

My DH never, never rinses out the dishcloth after using it to wipe something off a plate or on the worktop. So when I go to use it, it stinks of curry/gravy/tomato and is cold and greasy. It's horrible to rinse out too! I cannot get him to rinse it out himself.

I am a fellow sufferer, plus he leaves greasy marks on the kitchen cupboard door handles.

Why, as long as they are competant at reversing out? I make a judgement call depending on the surrounding space.

It took me probably a hundred lessons and four tests to pass. If I can do it anyone can.

Then there is the Costa Brava resort of Tossa de Mar, You can buy t-shirts with Tossa

People, especially guys, who can't do the simplest DIY, nor do they have a single tool in the house. I think it's incumbent on the man of the house to have a drill, a set of spanners, screwdrivers, tapemeasures, hammers, etc.

When a man wears a shirt without a tie and does up the top button.

People who eat noisily, pick their teeth and lick their knives SHOULD BE shot!
