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?

When you stop on a narrow road to allow another car to pass and neither of you have obvious priority (eg parked cars both sides and you reach it at the same time) and they don’t say thank you.
Or cars that flash their full beams to say thank you. I didn’t need blinding for doing something nice a simple hands up or head nod is sufficient.
Oblivious drivers in general who seem to be in a world of their own.
Most parents on a school run who stop in the middle of the road to allow their very slow little darlings to get out if the car. Hurry them up if you’re stopping traffic! Or park further away and allow them to use their legs!

Controversial but people who reply to anyone asking for advice on their kids with "sounds like ND" - The amount of posts on here with replies to all sorts of questions with the same answer is amazing. There was a post this week from a lady who's step daughter didn't want her to drink alcohol on her wedding day and straight away, there is a reply with "sounds like the child is ND" !!!
People who park in child spaces with no children in their cars
Those who don't know the difference between His and He's drives me mad

When you're on a packed bus, people get off and no one moves back to where there are empty seats. Meanwhile kids are in seats and those of us with disabilities are having to stand because no one will move back

When you're clearly in a hurry and some person stood to make chit chat

When people type 'of' or even worse 'ov' instead of 'have'.
Makes me feel sick. 😀

@Sentientbean re the t-shirt logo thing, I concur, and: you would have had an absolute fit at my stepdaughter's wedding last year. Fantastic romantic setting, everyone all beautifully dressed up, her dad (my DH) in a lovely suit, bride looking magnificent, her groom in divine cream linen outfit.

Then: the stepfather of the bride in jeans, work boots and a black t-shirt with a "Las Vegas" logo on it. (He has never been to Las Vegas, never even been to America and has no connection to it or the States in any way). I was furious on DSD's behalf, it ruined a lot of the photos, but it did make my DH look really really good in comparison! (And I know men have their own agency but what was his wife, the bride's mum, thinking to allow this to happen?).

OMG this 100%

Oh, and using it's for its.

People who can’t queue or wait their turn. I was first in line to get off the ferry tonight and two young people barged in front of me so they could get off first. Drives me nuts!

Those same people overtake on the roads when you're doing just under the speed limit and then slow down once they're in front.

Likewise with cars that pull out in front of you then drive reaaalllllyyyy slowly.....

Hahahaha A-loooooo-minnnummm
Crazy

That's not how it works in a pub. You stand at the bar and attract the barstaff's attention. They know who's next anyway.

Just standing at the bar doesn't work if you are an invisible person like I am.

They do pick up sound but, if mine's anything to go by, you can't make out what anyone is saying unless they're right next to it or shouting. Very mumbly. Besides, I'm not interested.

So you've never been ignored at the bar?

Undoubtedly, but if I am, I just make sure I catch the barstaff's eye again. I've got a tongue in my head as well...

People at work who:

• don't fill up the tea bag tin when the big massive bag is obviously in the cupboard
• don't top up the coffee beans in the machine when the big massive bag is in the cupboard
• don't fill up the milk in the coffee machine when there's an equivalent of 4 cows worth of milk in the fridge
• don't wipe up all their tea drips in the 10cm between the hot tap and the bin
• don't change the loo roll when it's empty despite at least 10 spares being obviously available
• complain to our department about all of the above

Facebook reels with absurdly loud and crisp "sound effects" for sawing, using scissors etc. When did that become a thing? It's just annoying

Tapping a product with fingernails. I truly HATE this and always swipe away instantly if they start that shit
Likewise, waggling their fingers under their chin and grinning inanely to demonstrate how pretty they look. You looked lovely until you did that. Now you look like an imbecile.

Anyone who holds up a product or sign or book etc. or is wearing a shirt or hat with writing on but hasn't reversed the video so everything is backwards. Ffs! Why? It takes seconds to reverse the mirroring before you post. Even better, record it the right way round to begin with.

I should go and read a book instead 😂

People who say ‘ I attended two times’ when they mean ‘ I attended twice’

People having loud conversations in the cafe when I am trying to have a nice quiet breakfast. (Not talking about speakerphone calls! That is not a petty issue).

People calling me hun or DM calling me dear. I know they are trying to be nice but I find it patronizing.

DC2 phoning me up to tell me they are bored.

DC2 phoning me up while I am having breakfast at the cafe, even though they know I am theee and I once know they are ok, always tell them I only take important or urgent calls at the cafe.

My neighbour coughing at 5am.

People who say "intimacy" when they mean sexual intercourse. I can't stand it and it marks them out as twee, po-faced, lacking confidence and with a very poor grasp of vocabulary. Probably the same people who talk about boobs rather than breasts and pee-pees rather than penises. The "I'm so embarrassed by the correct word" types.

Intimate and intimacy means very close, personal and private. You can have an intimate conversation with a good friend. You can also have sex as a mechanical act without any actual intimacy at all.

It makes me cringe. Just say sex for god's sake.

People who say ‘100%’ to emphasise agreeing with something.

People who say ‘a’ instead of ‘an’ when the word following starts with a vowel. It’s the first thing they teach you in school! Well it was in the 70s.

Drivers who overtake coming up to a junction where they’ve not gained anything, oh well it’s their fuel they are wasting.

Ripped jeans - why look like you’re wearing rags?

People sitting in your reserved train seat.

When parking in a quiet/empty area of the supermarket car park, coming back to your car and someone has parked right up against you.

On The Chase, when the contestants say they don’t know ‘what form the chaser is in today’. ??

@RoseLavenderBlue The train seat one bugs me. Last week on a long distance train I saw people repeatedly going to their seat, finding someone in it and not asking them to move! Just huffing and puffing instead of using their voice.
But also saw two women who were absolutely convinced they’d both booked the same seat. Showing me their tickets as if I’m some sort of adjudicator. They had indeed both booked the same seat on the same train. The one who booked the earliest sat there as the other one conceded before WW3 erupted. It was quite entertaining.

Grown adults who say 'poo'. Grow up and speak like mature adults, ffs.

People whistling loudly in public.
Do they do it for attention?
Don't they realise how annoying that awful pitchy whistling is?
