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!

Paper dado rails where you have this peeling strip of paper running round the wall at approximately waist height and always "complimenting" a really hideous colour combo like acid green and yellow

Last night's washing up water in the washing up bowl when you come downstairs for breakfast in the morning

drivers who are impatient assholes and see the big L on the top of my learner car and drive up my ass, get all "oooh, I'm an experienced driver" on me, then pass me on the dual carriage way. I AM GOING 70!!!! {grumble}

Love my instructor who shakes his fist and swears

Second the "We're Pregnant" thing. ESPECIALLY when women say it. I cannot scream in my head loudly enough.
Ugh!

Myleene Klass - am sure she is lovely but just STOP being so bloomin happy all the time

of course my iritation has NOTHING to do with her being younger, slimmer, prettier, and considerably richer and more talented than I ever will be. Absolutely nothing

Nose blowing in public. You're forcibly expelling bogeys from your nasal passages into a hanky and doing that trumpety thing . Then giving the end a good massage to get the stragglers and inspecting your harvest.

I will NEVER understand why this is acceptable when we wouldn't dream of sitting on a bus or in an office and cleaning out our ears with a cotton bud or flossing. Or mopping up other excesses. If you need to blow - good on you, go to the loos. I do not need particles of your snot sprayed 18 inches away from my face or to see the bats in the cave that you missed.

Stop it now.

People in general tbh.

Slang, bad manners, rudeness, other peoples children, spitting etc.

My worst one is couples who think that just because they're a couple, it means they can't ever be apart! It's that sentance 'is ........ also invited?' Yes, your husband is going to be invited to an all girls weekend away, muppet!

People who insist on forcing my 3 year old autistic son to make eye-contact with them just to see.
Being on my period.
Having to pay for sanitary towells/tampods.
Why are they called sanitary towells, they are not towells they are pads. And why do I have to pay around £3 for a pack of tiny nappies? Why am I penalised(financially) if I have heavy flow? GRRRRRRR!
People who don't like my children.
People who stare at other people when they are blowing their noses.

My DH playing tennis for 3-4 hours every Saturday or Sunday (or sometimes both - grrr!) I KNOW he needs to relax and has been working all week but I would like some bit of time when I am not having to look after DS as well; DH thinks that I just want to stop him having any fun at all. I don't think that's it at all - I just can't understand why he wants to be away from us!

People who drive with their side-lights on.

People who think it's all right for them to park on the yellow zig-zags outside the school.

People who are consistently late for school - get up 5 minutes earlier you lazy gits!

Americanisms.

Adam Hart-Davis.

Jumpers with short sleeves (why?)

Blokes who jangle coins in their pockets whilst talking

Blokes with shoes with tappy soles

People that don't say please or thankyou

SHop staff who talk amongst themselves whilst serving you

People who can't stop hiccuping.

Agreed. It's the height of attention-seeking.

Everybody knows if you stick your head in a pail of donkey shit for 11 minutes and stick your finger up your bum .. it stops.

The fact that I think of one every day, when it happens, then by the time I get to MN I've forgotten it again!

Really Desi? Well in that case I'm off to sort out h as he has been hiccuping non-stop for forty feckin' minutes.

I have loads of donkey shit too.

The finger bit he can do himself.

Lol Desi and Tnoog.
I cant stand change jingling either
Or tuneless whistling (esp by bus drivers)

I've remembered!
Money saving stuff being described as "twenty quid in yer 'and" "thirty quid in yer back pocket" etc.

Mother in Laws
Ricky Gervais (ARGH I HATE HIM)
Bloody condescending Grandmothers!!!

Singers who sing nasally - like Gabrielle and half the modern male R&B singers - I hate that nasal whine!

Songs that only seem to have 2-4 lines that are repeated over and over again - does this say something about the memory retention capacity of the yoof of today?

DH's whistling

aren't a lot of these very rational? Lots are to do with bad manners, and it's rational to find those irritating, isn't it?

Hmm. Just off the top of my head:

People who drive faster than the speed limit
People who go up your !rse in the car so close that you can count their nose hairs
People who park in the parent child spaces that either don't have children or don't have young children that need buggies!
People who telemarket
People who try to survey you on the street
People who try to convert others to their religion
People with a lack of respect for others' beliefs and way of life
People who let their dogs foul and leave it there
People who smell (and I mean Really smell, not just can't help it, but so smelly by lack of washing that their skin shines...)
People who eat with their mouths open
Journalists (bit sweeping I know, but tabloid and tacky TV ones pretty much get right on my rapidly downwards gravitating t!ts)

I seem to spend rather a lot of time being irrationally irritated...

STILL on the topic of whistling - people who have a nose-whistle, even myself! if my nose is whistling while I'm trying to go to sleep, I can't rest until I've cleared it.

people that wear sunglasses when it is not sunny and it is in fact raining

people who wear sunglasses at night

people who keep their umbrellas up for ages after it's stopped raining
