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!

The kids next door asking for their ball back TEN TIMES A DAY. I don't want to answer the door for this! Also people who keep ringing and ringing the phone if I haven't picked up - it could be for a reason you know! Actually, even if the reason is that I just don't want to talk to anyone/ get up to answer it, but some people act as if that's illegal or something...

Freecyclers who start their wanted post with "Bit of a long shot I know"

People who walk slowly - hurry up FFS.
D list slebs who think they can write childrens stories purely because they have given birth.
Cyclists over the age of 12 on the pavement.
People chewing or smoking on the phone - eurgh.
People phoning after 10pm. Unless it is an emergency phone the next day.
Cold callers (phone, gas, electric)who ask to speak to DH. All the bills are in my - why do I need DHs permission before making a decision?

People(DP)not replacing the toilet roll after he's used it all up, leaving me stranded on the loo.

DP leaving his plate on the table after i've cooked his dinner. It would take him 2 secs to clear it and put it on the side.

People smoking over prams/pushchairs/small children.

People inviting themselves round, when i'm having a nice day enjoying my own company.

Slim people who say ' oh im just so FAT!' fishing for compliments.

Also celebs who have had babies but get papped on a beach looking all slim and toned and not a single stretch mark in sight! WHY DO THEY NOT GET STRETCH MARKS????!!

DP not opening the blinds in the morning. I came in at 1pm today and he was sitting there with them shut like a big stuffed idiot. And if it's a bit dull with the blinds shut - he puts a lamp on. At night, when it is time to shut the blinds, he turns all the lights on and leaves the blinds open so all the nosey feckers who stare into my house when they're walking past can see better.

Also all the nosey feckers who stare into my house when they're walking past.

People who tut. Being tutted at makes me want to commit murder.

People who continue to post the same thing on Gumtree even though it is blindingly obvious no-one wants it and certainly not at the laugh-out-loud price they are asking for it.

Example - A Bugaboo Cameleon for £400. Er, I think if someone had £400 to spend on a pram they'd get a brand new one.

And then they lower the price by a tenner expecting a stampede.

People who lick their knife while eating

Snotty, middle class people

Message withdrawn

door to door sales people who ask if my parents are in (I'm 37)

Fat people who drink Diet coke

People spending aaaages to pack up their shopping at the supermarket.
People who walk slowly.
DH leaving the old toothpaste tube out (can't ya put it in the bin?)
DH never emptying bathroom bin either. People who insist on taking photos all the frickin time and organising huddles of people for photos when you're in the middle of a decent conversation.
Said people who insist on keeping crap/out of focus/extremely unflattering pics instead of just deleting them. Why?!?!
Jobsworths and people who use their tiny bit of power to its full extent.

Gaaaah!

Oh and the woman in the underwear section of M&S whom I asked for "Support pants, the sort with legs" (Blank look). Me: "They are foundation garments. You get them in black white and nude usually?" (More blank looks). Me: "Like the sort that have s support tummy panel, except these extend to the thighs so they hold in the tops of your legs plus your tummy". Assistant shakes head. Me (desperately): "You know, they look a bit like cycling shorts but they are underwear". (Even more blank looks then "Haven't got anything like that").

Wander round department for 10 mins. Come to a display FULL of said support garments. Pick up pair, go to till. Same woman is at till. Me: "These are what I was asking you about before. You said you didn't have anything like that".

Her....
.........

"Oh. You said you wanted cycling shorts".

She is 73 and quite fit, but sometimes she feels rough, so i always ring her when we go to the supermarket, see if she wants to come or if she wants anything. She will say, "oh, just some cat food/dog food" i'll ask if she wants anything for herslf, she just says "oh, i can't think!" WTF?>?

DH holding onto the passenger door handle above his head whenever I am driving as if he is about to be thrown violently around the car whenever we go round a corner.
