Little things in life that annoy you immensely #4

[mochibean]

I'm must have become institutionalised by lockdown because I was really irritated by the increased numbers of people out yesterday as lockdown regulations are being relaxed. It makes me sound selfish but I got a shock at how crowded the supermarket was and even tho I'm a mum people bringinf their kids has increased the noise after one year of quiet shopping It felt like carnage and mayhem. Its been a long time since I've heard people raising their voices to tell kids off.
I couldn't wait to leave. There was so much more traffic and people at bustops etc. I just found myself annoyed and a little bit fearful of it all.
I need to go out now and can feel myself getting worked up. My tolerance levels for people and crowds has lowered. I don't want to become a selfish mrs angry in the supermarket.

You're not alone. I work in a supermarket and am constantly annoyed by customers lol. Crowds, people sitting in front of me on the bus, anyone getting too close and I just get annoyed.

There's loads of traffic atm and everyone seems to be going somewhere! We're supposed to be in lockdown yet people are taking constant family trips to b&m, supermarkets, even some hairdressers here are open!

The way my son nibbles at a chicken nugget like he’s a wee mouse, getting crumbs everywhere, when he could easily eat in one go. Grinds my gears. And his general fussiness with food, I’m so over it. Just bloody eat it!!!

Currently pregnant and have had a craving for a mcd for ages, trying to eat healthy as I can, decided to have a cheat meal and order mcd

ordered big mac (meal) and some nuggets and dippers (via uber eats) they bloody forgot my Big mac and food was freezing actually wanted to cry!!!

Uber customer service is tit as well, you can only complain about one issue (cold food and missing item? But only one was accepted ).

i got a refund for the missing item but I was still hungry and wasn’t going to waste £3.99 on delivery again! Why can’t they given an option of delivering your missing item

Constant demands to complete feedback surveys from companies, my university, any service I've ever used ...

The company I work for has started sending around periodic employee surveys and contacting managers to say how many people in their team have completed it and telling them to push for 100% participation. My team is very small so my manager pressured us all to do it, in the end I gave in but added a strongly worded comment on the survey that I felt I had been bullied into it and it should be optional

In the Asda when you go over to the self service 'card only' checkout and then it flashes 'this is card only!!' No tit sherlock that's why I'm using this one! Just let me scan my shopping!

You would (or probably wouldn't) be surprised at how many people see the massive sign that says card only, look at the screen that says card only, click accept, and then try and pay by cash. Or go 'oh is this one card only'. You'd think in this day and age people would engage brain but alas here we are

I’m with you on this. We have to fill out monthly ‘happiness’ surveys. I’d be much happier if I didn’t have to waste my time filling out these surveys every month!

That there are five adults in this house and, in the past six months, only two of us have ever taken the bins out.

I'm not going to say anything or get into a game of bin chicken because I don't want to cause agro but it really isn't difficult!

In general, people here (where I am) keep the left when walking, driving, etc.

Something that really annoys me is when I'm walking out the supermarket with my arms full of bags and/or boxes and someone heads straight for me, then veers to their right/my left, so I have to step out of the way, usually affecting my load. I swear they do it deliberately!

Supermarket visits in eneral annoy me ... from people standing in the way having a grand old catch-up, tut-tutting at anyone who dares to ask them to move, or people driving around the carpark at 10 km/hr - too fast for you to step out in front of them and too slow for you to wait to cross - ugh; horrible. And then if you do an online order for pick-up, the locker is jammed so you have to call customer service out to help; or someone who's not picking up shopping is parked in the dedicated park. The best time to go is at 11pm at night when nooooobody else is around.

Ordered the same last week, kept getting updates saying the driver was delayed (it was Friday night, so ok) , then get a message saying it’s been delivered. Not to me it hasn’t. I was downstairs the whole time waiting. Obviously delivered to the wrong house and some pos just took it. Awful customer service, it was so much hassle I just gave up and said goodbye to my money.

People who mock me for asking to WFH as I want to be home after taking my kitten to get spayed and then act like I'm a monster when I roll my eyes at "I'm leaving at 3 to collect shittykidname" erm okay I'm sorry my fanny is in tact from not giving birth and I prefer cats.

Don't mean go offend any mamas out there I just love my cat and will never reproduce.

Yeah!!! Agree!!! Equally I hate it when people pre lockdown always wanted to socialise after work ... no I don’t like u and I literally race home to let my cats back in so they can eat and have a nap.. obviously ...

Ikr. I hate it when they send round a birthday card to sign and I have no idea who it's for and everyone's like "is it happy birthday or sorry for your loss" it's a nice thing to do when it's actually a meaningful card and you actually care lol.

A card I can cope with but the birthday whip-round is just asking for trouble and hurt feelings. I used to work at a company of about 20 people that did that, one person got £95 and another £15.

When you put a clear sign on the door saying "leave parcels with neighbour" or "leave parcels round back" AND you also update the tracking to ask the driver to do those things, and he STILL returns it to depot.

If it makes you feel any better my boyfriend has only ever cleaned our bathroom once in almost 2 years in our flat. He did such a tit job that I never asked again
