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 have two! I have a close relative who stores things both when she comes to visit and in her own home, on top of pedal top bins. So each time you want to use them you have to put down what you’re carrying, move whatever crap is on top of them bin and then replace it when you’ve used it. WHY??!

I also can’t bear dirty plates or cloths being left in the sink. The cloths get slimy and smelly and I want to be able to use my sink without having to empty it first…

People on MN who say intimacy when they mean sex.

Eg "Hubby and I haven't had intimacy for a few months."

Argh!!!

When I'm driving along,all calm and relaxed and then another car appears behind me and follows me. Especially on country lanes when I'm off to work. Sometimes I pull over,let them pass and then I feel good again!

Guys that let their wives or partners buy their clothes for them. Grow a set, you gimps.

The wives and partners who do it and see it as a Very Important Job.

Wives and partners who 'mother' their husbands and partners.

Just why are you packing his suitcase? Making his packed lunch? Excusing his incompetence with an, "Ah, bless him. He's hopeless! I don't know where he'd be without me!"

He'd probably not walking around naked and starving...

When there's an answer to a question (one where for example, someone asks if it's possible to do something) and 30 people reply with the same answer

I agree and also add "sleeping together" . FGS if you're open enough to be talking about having sex, just say "having sex".

It's a particular bugbear of mine because when my son (who has ASD and was a bit prone to taking things literally) had sex ed lessons in year 5 or 6. He came home and told me what he'd learned and added "but you have to go to sleep afterwards for getting pregnant to work". I said ??? And he explained in Eastenders and similar they are always saying stuff like "the baby can't be his - I never slept with him".

I made VERY clear that despite how common the expression is, sleeping is NOT a required element for reproduction!

People that visit a place for five minutes then come back with an accent.

Ooh so many things. Currently my biggest gripe is people who do emoji reactions to work emails.

My DH. I can have my phone on/beside me for hours. The minute I'm downstairs/upstairs, out hanging washing out/wrist deep cleaning dishes, THAT'S when he decides is the perfect time to call me. It's like his superpower, knowing when I'm just out of reach of my phone. Then rings again. And again. When I call him back, thinking something is urgent, it's just him calling as he's waiting for his next job and wanting to make small talk. I don't have time for small talk at the time he calls and I hate being disrupted.
He's the Master Of Inconvenience!

Also, the postman bringing me four doors down parcels. I don't mind taking parcels in but this couple don't get in until late teatime and it's up in the air if they'll bother to come for it. Three days it took them one time, I finally got sick of seeing it so took the parcel to them. I told the postie today that it's the last time! I've already directed him to next door as they're always in but maybe they've told him they're not taking parcels in for them again either 😅

The New Zealand accent.

From my call centre days.

Customers ring us up, on hold for 20 mins.
"Thank you for calling (company). "You are through to Auburngal. Can I please take your account number?"

"Erm I just get that for you" - the go off the phone for 3 mins.
They give me their account number and DPA.

"How can I help you today?"

Customer wants to pay their balance.
"Ok when you are ready, can I take your 16 digit number on your card"

"Erm I get my card"- go off the phone for 2 mins.

What are they doing in the 20 mins whilst waiting to speak to us?.

Please have your account number and other things you require for the call when you call contact centres.

@GreyCarpet I went out with a very hot guy once, he stopped bring hot instantly the moment he leaned over and whispered 'I can't wait to be intimate with you'. Yack.

Stickers based on "baby on board" ones
Because I dont know why it matters who is in the vehicle....and I doubt people change them if the passengers change.

This week i saw one that said little shits on board , which i thought was the cringiest thing ever and im amazed that there is a market for something that bad.

People who go 40 in a 60.Slow cyclists.

People who go into Wetherspoons when there is an alternative pub nearby.

Helicopter parents.
People who won't speak on the phone to anybody because of 'anxiety'.

It means i'd get served more easily

I only ever see it on mn but people that start a post with

So , listen , hear me out , this one is going to be long to get in all the relevant info but i had to change all most of the details but I will make it short . Let's call him A , B * not his real name , I can't tell you his hobby because it's outing

For the love of God just get on with it !

Random spacing before / after punctuation marks.Sometimes none at all , sometimes either side. Also ‘this is a none event’
Fern Cotton advertising Tesco mobarl. It ‘s fucking mobile.
The tablet/leaflet issue irritated me to the degree that I marked the hit rate when opening at the alleged correct non-leaflet end. Then I gave up & now open the box according to whim and if it’s leaflet end I take the whole lot out & shove it back in leaflet down. I think this probably saves me less than 2 minutes a month, but an awful lot of ire.

Not if your at the back..

🤣, slight tangent

Is that true? You’ve just changed my life!
The leaflet thing always annoys me when I open a new box of tablets.
