Little things in life that annoy you immensely #8

[Leo100]

And slow walkers that waddle along in the middle of the pavement so you have to step into the road to overtake. I'm a fast walker and I always walk at the side in case anyone wants to overtake.

Also hate it when you're walking down the pavement approaching a group who are stood talking or faffing about then as I'm about to overtake they suddenly decide to walk on so you have to do that awkward half run to overtake them on the road. I live in a touristy city and it's a bloody nightmare most of the time.

Agree with both , especially the second one so annoying!!

Similar thing happend to me a few months back , walking towards the entrance of museum and there was a big group outside messing on , just about to approach the doorway and walk in then they decide to move which means I end up queuing behind them I'm not that impatient about waiting an extra few minutes but just find it rude

This might be niche to my area, but I can't stand mum and baby/toddler groups. I go once a week (although I'm considering stopping) and the parents that go are so lazy. Most of us have 1 toddler and 1 baby, so the toddlers run around and play while the mums sit and chat with the babies.

But the problem is, they act like they don't have a toddler. I was having a conversation with one of the mums but keeping an eye on my son. Her son shoved mine to the ground, and she didn't see (or if she did she didn't let on) so I had to go over, help my son up (he was in a cast) and tell the other boy to not to do that.

I know they all probably think I'm such a helicopter parent but I don't care. I am just as quick to go to my son if I see he's taken a toy from another child. When their children are in playgroup/ nursery they expect them to be supervised but they can't be bothered to do the same.

They're also so boring. All they do is bitch and moan about their kids and husbands. No books they've read, no TV shows they like or dislike, nothing.

I thought I'd missed out during lockdown taking my son to mum and baby groups, so made an effort to take him with his baby brother this time round and I'm starting to think I didn't miss much.

Sorry for the long post, really needed to vent and I have no mum friends who'll understand

I didn’t go to any groups like this, but there were quite a few birthday parties and it was always awkward, was a relief when they were over.

I politely suggested a YTer might want to reconsider asking for likes every two minutes on their videos because it interrupts their message and they’ve mentioned it in their latest one jeez, grow a thicker skin, it was only intended as constructive criticism. It’s so distracting, beggy and clearly isn’t working!

So people who beg for likes annoy me, and those on social media who take offence so easily.

Point proven today was full on sunshine and 19 degrees and sooo many people wearing puffer coats and wooly hats!

I had nice spring clothes on I.e t shirt and felt like I was the odd one out

The weather has been gorgeous recently, it's sunny here already!

My minor irritation for today is that I've been away and need to buy more bread and milk. But need to change first. It seems like such an effort when you're slumped on the sofa!

This!! Big bras are SO bloody expensive, I end up wearing mine til they are literally falling apart it’s not fair.

My husband being incapable of putting the hoover away after he’s used it. LeCes the cable lying all over the floor so you’re tripping over it. I’m not kidding, he has left hoovers like that for days (when I purposely don’t put it away). It’s like he doesn’t see it and just lives his life around it. Makes my blood boil. When you point it out he’s so blasé about it too.

I'm 28/30 band size and they're not available anywhere except specialist shops so yep minimum £30 a pop for a bra fucking extortionate.

Surely it’s hot from the drying phase?

Everything is damp too - not dripping wet thanks to the Rinse Aid, but definitely from being in contact with hot water.

Today, following a couple of loads - which I tried on the 'glass' cycle it dislodged the tablet properly from its little spot, and it also did a fairly decent wash - not perfect, but better. I think it's tired! (I normally just run it on the longest cycle).

I've even opened it up mid-cycle to check that hot water is circulating.

I just pulled it out of its slot and played around with the hoses (just moving them a bit), plus I checked the spray arms don't have any debris on them and aren't blocked ... I checked the filter, too ... all is as it should be I think.

Roll on Thursday, when our new (secondhand) one will be installed.

When your banana isn't ripe enough and a pain in the arse to peel

The lack of water (I did have hand gel; but it didn't help) in train toilets

Squirting too much (my hands are tiny!) hand gel. There are certain shops who have the hand gel things and it always squirts out too much

Getting a 25p mix up & it's got 1 I don't like.

The local council only cut the grass week before last and dong it again today. I know it was last week as the children collected twigs from outside to decorate a frame for their mum for mothers day and as soon as they had finished the mowers came round

it's not even grown at all

Repeatedly being sent cheques I can't cash from a company that won't help me out

make snarky comments about grammar in a question posed

Grinds my gears whenever I see this. I used to work as a proofer and ever since I left that job I go hog-wild on spelling mistakes and errors. Can’t be arsed won’t be arsed.

When places like home bargains sell a whole range of Valentine themed kitchen crap like plates and mugs etc. I’m sorry but who is running out and buying plates with pink hearts on to use for one day a year? Do the people making this stuff think we’re all idiots? (They probably do).

Well it obviously sells, so they are correct

I buy it through Next have it delivered to store for free

Annoyingly I have Covid so home delivery is my only option

Wrong apple laptops are the exact opposite I have some 10-15 years old still work still connect to printers etc, unlike windows, operating system is now obsolete, nhs, pays us millions to continue to support you, or spend millions buying new computers, cos they won’t run the new operating systems, oh and you’ll need all new printers as we won’t support your old ones

Well their phones and tablets are definitely not like that

We can't get a diagnosis for my husbands illness from Nurelogilcal Hospital in Liverpool even after 3 visits. Our GP has no idea what is happening, so how can we do anything about treating it

I’m terribly sorry for the both of you. (I’ve been dealing with my husband’s seizures for about 20 years, and it took a lot of tests and time to get diagnosed, then time to try different meds to find what worked best for him.) Hang in there, stay on course, be specific when describing symptoms (maybe keep a notebook), and don’t give up.
