What things irritate you irrationally?

[OracleInaCoracle]

for me it is people who dont say thank you when you step of the pavement into the road so that they can get past.
people who step on the back of your shoe and dont apologise.
and people who dont use caps correctly

and im sure i will be back with more!

[DownyEmerald]

People who mow the grass between their garden wall/fence and the road. (obviously if they own it that's ok, but I've never owned that bit on any house I've owned).

People who plant daffodils (it's always b daffodils on said bit of land, or around the name sign for their village - it's not a b garden, it's countryside, a tiny verge strip bit of countryside but still countryside!

People who dump their garden rubbish over their fence into the countryside. What do they think they are doing!

Bet no one else has these

[ipanemagirl]

People who talk with their mouths full.

[Pinions]

Anything -- bull terrier.

[wishfort]

I've just experienced this one.

People who tell you you look tired when you haven't said you're tired, in fact you were feeling OK. It's not like they're going to do your ironing for you, or marking in my case.
Smug twats.

[PheasantPlucker]

'IRRATIONAL' - obviously

[PheasantPlucker]

Sitting here reading the paper..... Just remembered.... photos of Carol Midgley, doing that ridiculous smile. Makes me hate her. Which is totally irrationally, she might well be a lovely human being!

Oh, and people telling me

a) 'God only gives special needs children to special people'

b) 'I can really understand how it must be for you have dd1 with SN' (CP can't walk, epilepsy, hydrocephalus, still in nappies at 7, vis impairment,etc etc) because, know what, I don't think they do! (And this makes me a cow, I know, I know)

I feel better for that.......

DH leaving his water glass, empty from the night before on his bedside table.I once left it there to see what would happen.He bought a new one up for three nights and left every single one there, till there was no more room and he had to transfer one to the window ledge-and still he did not take them downstairs.

DH leaving his empty bottles (of shampoo, deoderant, whatever) in the bathroom and starting new ones.There is a bin in the bathroom.Put the empty ones in it.

Poor DH.I must be a very nagging wife

[hez011]

agree with lots already mentioned especially spitting - yuk and chewing gum - double yuk

people sounding their horns to attract attention instead of getting out of their cars and knocking on the door
people who sound their horns whilst tearing down our narrow road - JUST SLOW DOWN
Kids instead of children - am I a snob?
people who say i tried to call you on your mobile but you didn't answer - i am not a doctor on call perhaps i just don't want to be tied to the phone all the time
people without shirts on in offices and public buildings ie hospitals ( am in Cyprus )
happy loving expat couples doing supermarket shop together and just dithering
very grumpy and too hot old bag in cyprus

[emj23]

These are really unreasonably irrational and pointless but anyway...

People who say 'marshMELLOW' instead of mallow.

A sign in a shop the other day that read 'Have you seen our upstair's'. Why would anyone think that needed an apostrophe?

People who put cream on desserts that already have cream in them, eg profiteroles.

[jellybelly2007]

When you see someone coming and stand and hold the door open, and they just bleaze through without a thankyou, a backwards glance or a kiss my arse, as if it's their god given right that you should be there for their convenience! AARRRGGGGHH!!!!

When DH 'washes' the dishes, and leaves food on them - If you're not gonna do it properly, then dont bother.

DH 'helping' by tipping basket of clean clothes across our bed, that I only find as I'm going to bed, therefore having to sort them out when I'm knackered. (dont bother now, just shove them all on his side - he soon stopped that )

Seeing someone scratch their arse and sniff their fingers

When disabled people park in P&T space as no disabled space available. You wouldnt like it if we did it, would you?

Definatley agree with headbands on bald babies - ridiculous.

[StealthPolarBear]

The milk always has to be in a china jug - never straight out of the carton. Does anyone do that?

[MERLYPUSS]

Serving suggestions on cereal boxes etc.
Cornflakes in a stripy bowl, lasagne with a sprig of parsley. Ooh I'd never have thought of that.

[potatofactory]

I used to have a friend who would deliberately suggest too-skimpy clothes for me if we went clothes-shopping, or bring things blatantly 2 sizes too small to the changing room, etc. I think it made her feel good about her own super-svelte frame. We aren't friends any more, after she paraded in front of my boyfriend in her knickers once too often (we lived together at the time!!!)

Silly cow. Sorry, off the subject a little, I know.

[andlipsticktoo]

When a skinny friend of mine says she can still fit into her clothes from Primary School... wtf!

Car drivers who try to knock me off my bike.

My entire family when they don't stand up their electric toothbrushes so they clutter up the sink and leave white toothpaste stains everywhere.... aaggh that really gets to me! ok so I may have OCD!

[scottishmum007]

oh and all the eco friendly crap that is sprouted from the Cbeebies channel. it's just over powering.
and pet cats i find extremely annoying, they are so sleekit.

[ScottishMummy]

posh kids with affected street accents dis and dat(is that mockney)

people who punctuate sentences d'ya know what i mean, when you don't know care what they mean

chewing gum

[bran]

The title song for 'Live and let die' annoys me beyond all reason because it contains the phrase "this ever-changing world in which we live in". I get terribly agitated and want to turn it off before that bit of the song comes on.

[scottishmum007]

people that don't indicate their intentions on the road

[noonki]

things I find really irrationally annoying-

when people constantly used your name when talking to you

being called madam by customer services

mockney accents

people that refer to each other as mummy and daddy

the cardboard from the loo roll never ever being put in the bin by anyone other than me ever.

being asked to spell my name (both now need it since I got married and I hate it)

god I could go on and on, i must be really easily annoyed

[ScottishMummy]

sim i work FT my posts are wholly random dependent on my PC access

dont read any other inference from this.

no one needs to leave you alone, as you are not under attack.however clearly my posts irk you. so you don't like my posts. fair enough.

can i suggest a reflective restraint,next time you disagree with another poster or don't like their style will you need to ask them to leave you alone?otherwise MN will potentially be stressful, taking every contrary opinion to heart.

Hey remember t'was you swore at me - then got the hump when other posters told you to be more reasonable

so anyway can i reassure you i genuinely dont recall most of MN or who said what/when/why

but better to hopefully end my contribution on this post

maybe if we post together it will be easier going - i hope so

[potatofactory]

my ability to kill a thread by even considering posting a comment! Quite a talent...

[potatofactory]

I've got to say. uncomfortable bickering on MN is a bit annoying. It's so frequent! And uncomfortable. Please don't have a go at me!!!!

Back to the thread - loud turning of newspaper pages

loud swallowing (some people are definitely louder than others)

loud cutlery on plate

lots of loud things. Loud yawning.

people getting fussy with bills because they didn't drink (or whatever)

Definitely people putting their children on the phone. SO annoying.

People who don't lower their voices when they walk into really small shops (or other confined places)

[herewegoagain02]

I'm a receptionist and it winds me up when people checking in see you walking towards them and greeting them and they still feel the need to ring the BLOODY BELL!! Aaaarrrgggghhh

[Sim43]

I had mmoved on SM, YOU came on to a post I had been on quite a while and made what I thought was sarcastic comment. To say the postings were random is a joke. Your posting was made nearly 45 minutes after mine. Not exactly sent at the same time were they? Or have your got a V-E-R-Y S-L-O-W C-O-M-P-U-T-E-R ? I don't harbour grudges, but anyone reading last nights postings and then seeing yours today would agree that it was you being your usual patronsing, sarcastic self. In answer to your questions:

No I do not feel got at.

No am not super sensitive.

Just leave me alone and go and get on with your life. Have a spiffing weekend!

[ScottishMummy]

sim you infer too much from an innoccous post.i dont call it coincidence i call it random order posting,nothing else.

do you frequently feel got at?
are you very sensitive?
why cant you differntiate one thread from another -frankly bad form to drag your subjective feelings about one thread on to another unrelated thread

dont know how long you have been MN, but get used to fact you may disagree with posters but that does not make it personal. so nor should you personalise it

i dont

i cant recall who i spoke to on MN and dont harbour MN grudges

neither should you

move on sim
