I’ll go first: For me the word, “hubby”…. No idea why. And I’ve acknowledged it’s irrational, so….

People watching TV on their phones / listening to music out loud on the bus/train/tube - it’s an epidemic!

Lots that people have already mentioned.

Grown adults saying "yummy" for "delicious" and "tummy" for "stomach". Makes me cringe.

Doctors calling it a tummy is the worst and gives me the utter ick.

The fridge beeping when the door is left open on purpose because I'm pottering and don't want to close it yet and I KNOW it's open and fucking shut up beeping.
Wish I knew how to turn that off.

@marshmallowfinder

Nearly every liquid is juice here in Scotland!

I hate "Squash"

It's diluting juice

Snap .the one that irritates me is a glass of pop.
Piss off Enid blyton wants you back circa 1950s.

When people refer to putting food on plates as 'dishing up' 'dish up'

Chickadoo · 27/09/2024 20:42

Also, dog people. They seem to pride themselves on this.

Gingernaut · 27/09/2024 20:44

Anyone who starts a monologue with "Well, basically..."

You know they're not going to be succinct and they will wing off into total irrelevancies before they finally get to something like a point

Jesus.

I work in a call centre and people's refusal to get to the fucking point does my fucking head in

Oblivious to the fact there are people behind them in the queue, whining about how long they had to wait and absolutely no insight into what they're doing

TrampolineFox · 27/09/2024 20:45

Tissue left in pockets, which gets washed. It's not my job to check everyone's pockets, you're not toddlers, you can check your own flipping pockets. Bloody white bits over every fucking garment, in the rubber seal, EVERYWHERE!! It's progressed from acorns, pebbles, hair bobbles to tissue.

Glitter.

Door handle assaults.

I'm sure I will think of more as I'm falling asleep.

@Thevelvelletes

My English XMIL used to say "Pop" all the time.

Irritated the life out of me!

LeftyLou · 27/09/2024 21:16

Couple of ones I agree with in particular the fridge beeping and referring to pets as fur babies.

Also the telly remote upstairs is very slow to respond. So I have to press it numerous times to get Netflix on to watch friends for the billionth time.

People leaving trollies in the middle of the car park as well as people no longer wanting something they picked up in the supermarket so drop it down anywhere. Usually a raw chicken in the chocolate aisle for example. Such a waste and pure laziness.

ValBiro · 27/09/2024 21:28

People who stand too close in queues.
Malodorous people.
People who leave their car engines running.
People who cough or sneeze without even a vague attempt at covering their faces.
Parents who block the door of my child's classroom every single morning, flitting in and out of the doorway, meddling, trying to get the teacher's attention. It is actually only one parent, and they are always always there. Like there are no other children in the world other than their own who might need to enter the classroom.
Most questions asked on the class WhatsApp.

I did this with the loop of my dressing gown this morning on the bathroom handle !!! How!??? Couldn’t have done that if I’d tried !

It’s so annoying!

It’s interesting because I completely get that cringe you’re referring to and I do get it for some words, but not tummy for some reason! I wonder what makes us get it for some words and phrases and not others. Lots of people seem to get it for ‘meal’ as well and I don’t.

Miniopolis · 27/09/2024 21:52

Oh I’ve remembered a couple of phrases that do get me:

’Many’ as in Facebook type ‘many won’t understand this…’ etc.

’Get on with your day’ when used on Mumsnet to make you feel small about whatever you were worried or annoyed about.

Horsesontheloose · 27/09/2024 17:09

People that say 'look' at the start of a sentence,usually a politician on the news. Parents who refer to each other as mummy or daddy to adult children. Teaching young children to say 'ta' instead of thank you. The word 'meal', refering to your wife as 'the Mrs', the word 'holibobs'... The list goes on and on.

Agree with you on ta

My mum tried so hard to get my DD to say "ta" it's not even something we say between us, so irritating

StillSmallVoice · 27/09/2024 22:06

Scary how many of these are me. It the noisy people on trains I hate the most. I have long Covid and a lot of noise and movement addles my brain and makes me fall over.

On the last two occasions I've got a train to London I have been surrounded by a gaggle of loud women drinking canned cocktails at ten in the morning and having a great time. The first lot kept being apologetic but not being any quieter. It was 80 decibels if you think I was being unreasonable.

By the second time I had earplugs and managed to move a bit away.

And don't start me on the people who have highly personal conversations in the middle of a railway carriage. There was one recently where I really wanted to lean over and say 'LTB'.

People who use "eleventy billion" in real life speech.

woodlandtrees · 27/09/2024 18:34

Other people in the supermarket.

They don't have to do anything..... just be there.

Long day , long week 🤣

Ooo I'm with you on that. They annoy the living crap out of me!!! 🤬😤

betterangels · 27/09/2024 22:29

"I literally died laughing" and other variants. No, you fucking didn't. Shut up.

Christmas anything in September.

JacketPotatoFoodOfTheGods · 27/09/2024 22:26

And 'elevenerife' as if it's new and original.

It's not been near any juice!

K0OLA1D · 27/09/2024 22:31

Dropping things. Anything, picking it up and dropping it again

betterangels · 27/09/2024 22:32

The stupid passive aggressive sound my washing machine makes when it wants attention. It is very annoying.

Justleaveitblankthen · 27/09/2024 22:34

I hate "Me Missus" ( wife/partner/girlfriend ) used almost exclusively around here by 20 year old lads on someone they've known for 5 minutes 😂

BebbanburgIsMine · 27/09/2024 22:35

@JacketPotatoFoodOfTheGods

That doesn't matter, it's still juice in Scotland!
