Or are most people really irritating?

[VanillaSliceSliceBaby]

or am i just really pregnant?

perhaps you're a little touchy

To quote superhans 'People buy Westlife cds and supported Hitler - people cannot be trusted'

No YANBU -I have just been to Tescos and it was full of really irritating people in queues. FGS - couldn't they see I needed to pay for my shopping and get out of there... and not one of the buggers let me go first.

heh heh you sound like my DH and he certainly aint pg

See I knew it wasn't just me! Oh, if only being granted one punch to someone's face was something that the NHS could offer, rather than something that would land me in the clink for Christmas...

yanbu
it's annoying isn't it

It's Irritation Central round here. I started the day irritable, snapped at dp - who'd had the temerity to get irritable about when he was being driven to the station - and things only calmed down when me and the dog took ourselves off to the top of the Downs for a couple hours.
Not only am I not pg, I can't even blame the menopause.

IDon'tLikeDisciples - it was Coldplay, actually [shudder]. But he was right.

I am a confirmed misanthrope. Most people are annoying.

YANBU I hate people! All RL people !!! They are so irritating!!!!

hormonal, me...?!

NO, honestly I cannot walk down a street or walk through a station or enter a shop without hating everyone around me for various reasons, pregnant or not! I think you are being completely reasonable!

Aw! Cheer up, it's christmas!!

I've just been to Tesco and it was a bloody nightmare. Normally I would have been irritated to boiling point, but for some reason today I'm feeling full of cheer and managed to find the whole thing amusing instead - very unlike me!

I'm sure I'll be back to my miserable, grumpy self by new year!

No it's not you, lots of people are very annoying.

Not me though obviously.

No, I am simmering with barely repressed irritation today....
started with DH who is supposed to be not working but is. Got worse with postman who pretended we were not in (we've been in all day) and shoved card thru saying he hadn't been able to deliver parcel.... And is reaching explosion due to best mate who is being impossible to pin down this week - I only want to deliver your bloody presents, whcih have cost me a lot of time and effort and love - I'm not coming round to drink all your vodka and shit on your sofa FFS!!

A lot of people do seem to lose the plot and flap about in a panic this time of year, so YANBU

Thanks guys - you have actually cheered me up with your funny responses - though there is actually a part of me that is really quite enjoying being a grumpy beeatch.
Next time I go outside I'm sure someone will piss me off and get it.
When I was little at least I used to be able to whack my sister when I felt like this. hmm
maybe I should give her a call...

I don't often find individual people very irritating. But I find large groups of people as irritating as hell! Specially when they mill around randomly in the supermarket aisles, making it impossible to get through to grab the things you want. Or on pavements, so you can't get to the door of the right shop without having to shove through.

If they would just thin out to a sparse layer, instead of a crowd, I'd be fine...

Having come home nicely chilled by a walk far away from bloody people, I've just realised that I have to go back to the City By The Sea later and choose my own Christmas present. So am not expecting an immediate improvement on the irritable front.

PS. And with the greatest respect anyone who says "Cheer Up, it's Christmas", deserves to undergo torture by tinsel.

YANBU I hate other people

To quote Brian Sewell when told during a TV debate that something or other was what "the people" wanted (a Labout government I think): "but people are morons".

I find about 80% of people intensely irritating. Make that 99% when p[regnant, though.

I have found the best defence against other people is to develop a trance like state when out in the real world.

On the outside I look serene if a little unhinged.

On the inside I am in my own little world, ignoring all around me.

A portable DAB radio, a tin of red bull and a couple of Nurofen plus help too.

Teenagers were chewing popcorn and spitting it on to the back of my neck in the cinema today, and I did not get annoyed.

I am feeling quite saintly today.

YANBU.

Hell is other people.

I was pregnant for the first half of this year, but haven't been for the second. Have to say, I think my irritability levels have been constantly high throughout. Would like to blame pregnancy and post-pregnancy hormones, but suspect the culprit is my intolerant personality.

Have to seriously stop myself from growling at people who stop in the middle of shop doorways/at the bottom of the tube/a flight of stairs/right in front of an exit or entrance.
