When you're on Animal Crossing and can't find a good villager :ROFLMAO:

When people say 'Is it just me or....." NO clearly it's not just you who has that though

People Who Type In All Capital Letters On Every Single Word In Their Sentence
People who walk slowly. I understand if they can't help it but MY GOD don't some people just dawdle!!!!

People who post their weed on social media. So cringe. Nobody cares what you're doing in your spare time

People who post photos of a terrible roast or a standard one with frozen yorkshire puddings "I make an amazing Sunday Dinner" no, no you don't. Aunt Bessies does.
The capital letter thing annoys me so much! So many influencers do this and it looks terrible. It must take ages to type too 😂

People who refuse to say "excuse me" and just knock into you to get by. What is so hard about saying two little words and giving some warning? The amount of people who do this across all ages and backgrounds shocks me.

Had a retired-age man do it in a newsagents this morning and considering how we're supposed to be social distancing and it wasn't so busy he couldn't have gone by without touching me I am still fuming. It was like I was trash to him.

When every first letter of every word is a capital and the rest lower case, it's often because they've typed their entire post in full capitals, and the forum or platform or app that they're on has converted it down in case for them. But it's a quick and dirty conversion, not clever or sophisticated enough to know which letters to leave as caps so it just leaves every first letter in caps. It's an "anti-shouting" measure. Not sure if the Tattle forum does it, a lot of others do.

I have literally just had this problem filling in a form for work. I've tried messing with everything relevant in the settings but it just reverts back, even after I've corrected it. It's taken up so much of my time and has irritated me immensely. So much so that I'm going to apologise for the issue when I email the form back, purely so the recipient doesn't think I'm an idiot who writes all my documents like this!

God I hate this. It's such a British thing too. I always say excuse me and I know I'm going to be met with the same gormless look or a surprised expression as if I've asked someone to repeat something. There's no need to get flustered, just get out of the way.

It really grinds my gears so much. People look at me like I've got two heads and in some cases even make fun of me when I've said excuse me. What's so weird about this to some people? I thought it was just normal in terms of good upbringing.

The British way of asking someone to move is to apologise ten times to make your presence known so that that person can then apologise for being in the way then after doing that song and dance everyone moves. It's bizarre.

Soft porn magazines in newsagents

Still can't believe these things are worthy of display, even if they are on the top shelf.

And it really is quite off-putting when you're looking at more general mags on the shelf directly below, but in the corner of your eye there's the front-cover of a semi nude woman on all 4s with her legs wide open, and only a speech bubble hiding her modesty!

I'm quite liberal in most things, but I do feel rather uncomfortable having to put up with that!

Hate this too and as a mum I hate the thought of my kid seeing that. Even on a higher shelf he’ll be able to see it, he notices everything. It’s just horrible and shouldn’t be allowed in this day and age.

People who decide the supermarket aisle is a great place to have a chat about nothing, holding everyone up and looking annoyed at those who squeeze to get past.

When the person behind you at the checkout starts putting their items on the checkout strip before you've even finished emptying your trolley.

Actually, the supermarket in general.

A lady who I do work for, who replies in huge font to all my email messages. I find it worse than all caps.

People do this in shop doorways too. I don't understand how the brains of some work at all, I truly don't.

People who use the words "comfy" and "yummy".

Also, I've had it up to here with recipe blogs. These lonely housewives don't just give you the recipe, they've got to tell you anecdotes, and sometimes long winded stories about their mashed potatoes or some tit. I won't buy cookbooks because I can find recipes for free online, but good God...

Actually, the supermarket in general.
I'm in the States where Walmart is in every city. Smaller areas, and local shops aren't as bad, but in bigger cities Walmart is where the lost people go. I don't mean philosophically lost, I mean lost as in they wonder around trying to figure out where they are, why they're there, and what they need to find in order to get out.

When your Fitbit watch keeps falling off and you only realise 3 hours later and now have lost alot of steps 😂

Good thing I noticed before I got home as it was on the floor outside my office!
 
when people walk in a group or a couple, and take up the whole pavement and I have to walk into the road to go round them. Why can't they accommodate and move a bit 😂
And cyclists who ride two or even three abreast on windy country roads making it impossible to overtake them

On Facebook, I'm in a lot of groups of video games, I hate you post the same thing as an attractive woman, and all the seedy men reply to it, thinking they're going to get a duck, and your posts get nothing. Or how a Male says he struggles with depression, mainly men tell him to get over it, but if it's a woman, they rush to their rescue like Superman.
