Little things in life that annoy you immensely #2

[weeweegie]

Parents who constantly go on and on about how big their kid is if they are tall for their age. Big deal!! Stop going on about it, it’s not that interesting and your kid is not special or better than anyone else. Probably giving the poor kid a complex going on about it in front of anyone that’ll listen.

Actually just adults commenting on their kids size/weight in general or their own weight in front of kids. It’s shocking how many adults do this. Go on about fat they are in front of kids, I mean seriously??

Slow stupid voices.
My house phone ringing (why? I know it’s someone who doesn’t know me as if they did, they wouldn’t ring my house phone.)
Middle class faux woke wannabe socialists.
The phrase ‘You got this’ (just shut up, fake ass silly women.)
Oversharing. (I don’t want to know)

People who repost instagram stories on their birthdays. So bleeping annoying and wankerish of them

Also people with grey/white Hinch style houses. I have grey and white in my house but in separate rooms and I do have some imagination and have different colours that match the room. I do think some of the houses on insta look nice but they do not look homely at all.

However, I will say that I hate anything glittery in a grey/white home.

Ooh I was going to moan about the all grey homes. What is going on regarding this uniformed home thing

Also on the home front, the millions of home accounts on Instagram that are basically people turning their new build house into an all grey copy cat home

When 'managers' in call centres spend their day cutting out paper and making fancy displays for Pride, Christmas, Halloween but point blank refuse to take a call from you and you have a karen demanding a manager

And when these said managers sit at their desks and bark out "there are 15 calls waiting can everyone get in available please!" And you feel like saying "yeah...well get your feckin headset on and answer one then if its thats bleedin vital!"

Omg my previous manager was like this. Spent hours putting tit Christmas decorations up when we were busy. Also swanned off to B&M on the busiest payday before Christmas leaving us all to pick up the pieces.

I hate when you try to talk to someone and they're engrossed in their phone so not really listening. Then they ask what you said afterwards and expect you to repeat yourself.

Also people who use their phones at the dinner table, either at home or in a restaurant. So often I see families in restaurants not talking for the entirety of their meal because they're on their phones. It's their choice, obviously, but I just find it really sad.

Also parents giving small children iPads in restaurants with Peppa Pig on full blast. I don't care if you want to distract your kid but I'd like to eat my meal and talk to my partner without hearing Peppa screaming about Mr Skinnylegs.

Totally agree. In the age of social media I think that face to face conversations are suffering. Everyone seems to be on their phones and giving at most 50% attention to the person in front of them. Very frustrating

When someone has a baby and immediately demands you must hold them. No thanks. Not everyone is maternal or thinks your baby is adorable.

Additionally, people who have children and then become absorbed in every minutiae of their child to people who couldn’t get less of a tit and ignore any conversation not related to motherhood or child.

“Oh you must see this video of snotty child.... it’s so cute!”

No it’s not. duck off.

THIS!!! I have a friend who’s just had a baby a month ago. We have seen each other three times since and I have mentally noted that she has not once text me or when we are face to face asked one single thing about my life. I know this might sound incredibly selfish and I really don’t care but you can see why new mums get ditched by their friends.

Don’t think it’s selfish at all. My friend had her second baby last week and “demanded” I come and visit. I didn’t really want to as I find the whole meet my baby thing awkward- like I don’t get it at all. One, a baby at that stage is just sleeping or crying and secondly if I’ve just had a kid i’d be wanting to chill out and recover not dragging every Tom dick and Harry round to coo over a baby that has no awareness of who you even are.

Anyway, politely made my excuse as my household needing to isolate for two weeks due to my mother having a major operation and it was like talking to a wall. No “oh that’s rubbish, how’s your mum” “how are you?” or even a cursory “can I help at all?” It was just baby baby baby even though I’m stressed out of my head. I know tit about babies so god knows why they spout off to a happily childless person.

Gave up in the end and now avoiding her until she gets a bloody grip!

YES! It’s like all manners and just general politeness or even “how to be a friend” goes out of the window. I know not everyone is like that but sometimes it would be nice to get a text first saying how are you instead of me trying to keep the friendship going by saying “how’s the baby?”every fortnight!

Totally agree with all of the above posts.

It does seem that many people have forgotten how a friendship or a real life conversation works. So many people these days are me me me and only ask how you are so you’ll ask them back allowing them to continue waffling about themselves. Grrrrrrr!!!

Almost fall off my chair when someone asks a question about me these days

 

[Biatchtiats]

Agreed with all the above posts.

about to have my 2nd baby and I think i must be the only mum who doesn’t want to talk about my child, baby or pregnancy.

pregnancy, motherhood and parenting are bleeping boring!

Ps
just found this thread - so many kindred spirits
Gonna compile my list and let u all know

Unsolicited advice! Sometimes I want to rant without being told what I should do.

yes!
if I wanted advice I’ll ask!

 

[Rxt156]

Also .... big one

duck right off. You can’t be 100% correct or knowledgable about everything. My boss does this on a daily basis. Comes across as an idiot instead haha

People that pull their face mask down to have a conversation

Also people that hold their earpiece to their mouth - yes I am moaning about the same person

Booked a holiday package and received email confirmation from the airline of the flights today. I’m named as the ‘main person’ on the booking, yet the email is addressed to my partner, why???
