things that annoy you

[lkb21]

Drivers who are inconsiderate of pedestrians! I dont drive so I encounter these twonks daily! No matter how much in a rush you are your gonna get there 10 times faster than me and a HELL of a lot dryer, so give me a frickin break and let me cross!

Peoples inability to discipline their children sufficiently resulting in bad mannered, foul mouthed, disrespectful brats everywhere you turn!

Lying! Omg, this makes me so angry, white lies are the worst! I'd u lie about little pointless things who knows what big lies you tell.

People (strangers), inflicting their grumpiness upon me! Like bus drivers having an attitude or rolling their eyes! (anyone rolling their eyes at me makes me see red!). I feel like sayin something like 'ooh, is someone not gettin any?', but I never have the guts!

People not acknowledging apologies! Eg, I clip someones heal with my pram, and regardless of if its my fault or theirs i'll say 'ooh, sorry', the polite response to that (being as its fairly obvious ive not rammed you on purpose!) Would be 'its ok' or' don't worry about it', NOT TUTTING AND HUFFING!

ANY form of injustice! Eg, holiday companies goin bust and people losing thier money! Some people save every penny to get that holiday!

Oooh i could go on, but my soap box in crumbling beneath me! Lol

 

[Raggydoll]

My husbands inability to put his socks in or near the laundry basket.

My husband manages to get his washing on top but not in the basket! Is it really that much more of an effort to lift the lid.

 

[cat81]

Ohhh, I am getting angry just reading this thread.

My OH makes a pile of his dirty washing right next to the laundry basket. Would it really be too difficult to lift the lid and put it in???

And I second what was said about people smoking outside the hospital. When my LO was in neonatal, it used to make me so angry when people would stand outside the hospital entrance smoking right next to the sign that said "babies rooms are directly above this entrance so please avoid smoking here"!!!! WTF - as if the tiny babies (many of whom are having breathing problems) don't have enough problems without having inconsiderate smokers puffing smoke in through the window of the neonatal unit!

Oh and adverts on the TV.

My husbands inability to put his socks in or near the laundry basket.

Ewww my boyfriend does this too, all these old rolled up socks scattered around the room that I get the pleasure in picking up

Oh and when people don't put their drinks on the coaster that sits upon my BEAUTIFUL FOUR HUNDRED POUND COFFEE TABLE. That thing costs more than all of my other furniture put together have some respect! It makes me want to weep.

I hate parents who are like that one of my pet peeves. It doesn't take much to teach children manners and respect both my girls are polite and well behaved children especially around others and its been no skin off our backs teaching them this.

I think people who tutt and huff at you when you apologise for something that was an accident is out of order and I would be tempted to ram them with the pram on purpose usually its their fault anyways for being in the way and not moving for you.

My husbands inability to put his socks in or near the laundry basket.

This a million times over!!

OH has taken to putting them INFRONT of the washing machine?!

Mine does that too such a nice scent to be greeted by first thing in the morning when doing the childrens breakfast

When OH ruins my routines with Jake when he's off work!
Also when OH doesn't put the new toilet roll on the holder he just puts it on top of the cardboard roll. WHY. WHY WHYYYY.

Routine is my pet hate too. My youngest was a terrible sleeper until she was over 2 and I finally got her in a nice routine when she was about 1. Hubby had a friend round and told him she goes to bed at so and so time don't forget. Well he forgot and her routine went t!ts up again and it took me a few months to get her back into it. Then a few more months to get her to sleep in her own bed again.

Toilet roll why do they do that? Your sat on your arse ffs its not too much effort to just take off the old roll and replace it with a new one

Anyways to add to the list some of other pet peeves are :

Shopping- I don't drive and have 3 children so when I do the shopping on my own (say if hubby is at work) I have to use a shopping basket and as I have no handles on Lewis's pram I balance it on the pram frame over his carrycot fine when empty not so good when its full. So I have to hold it with one hand to stop it toppling over or items falling on him whilst pushing the pram with the other whilst keeping my 2 eldest under control. People just look at me and don't move so i have to manouver the pram round them. I think someone mentiond about the family reunion in the shopping aisle this happens to me everytime I go shopping without my hubby.

Igonrant people who don't see my children and walk right into them ooo this one really gets my goat especially when they are gassing away to their friends.

People saying you have your hands full and look at me with sympathy when I tell them how old my children are. Yes I'm kept busy but I love every moment of it.

Cliquey mums in the school playground why why why? Its like Mothers Meeting everyday and not really anybody comes and talks to me. Oh of course unless its to coo over my baby boy thats all I'm good for so they can get their broody fix!

Ummm not anything else I can add for now but am sure will add to it when i think of any. x

 

[~RedLily~]

When you see a toddler running way ahead of his/her parent by a busy road and when they go around the corner you don't see the parents for about a minute they are that far behind.
people assuming they will get all your baby stuff when they have a baby

[Sarah10]

People that let their toddlers walk about a mile infront of them on a busy road.
Every comment i get about Jayden is about how big he is.. so what? he's a big boy, he drinks milk, not steak pies you fruitloop!
People who let their dogs off on an enclosed play area, i don't care how tame a dog is, any dog can strike (i have one myself, lovely temperment but i wouldn't let him off in a kids play area!)

[blondeNklutzi]

LOUD cereal eaters.
Loud eaters in general.
Having wet feet/socks/shoes. Makes me angry!
Benefit fraud!
Having no signal in my stupid flat.
When OH ruins my routines with Jake when he's off work!
Also when OH doesn't put the new toilet roll on the holder he just puts it on top of the cardboard roll. WHY. WHY WHYYYY.

I'm guilty of this! I don't know why I do it, I just do! It drives my OH nuts.

My husbands inability to put his socks in or near the laundry basket.

Argh, my OH kicks his off under his desk and leaves them there....so gross!

I must be strange, I like when the cashier talks to me, and I don't mind people having family reunions in the store. Although, regarding the family reunion thing, I'm from a very small town in a rural state, when you see someone you know, you stop and talk, and if you get next to someone in the checkout line, it's not odd to strike up a conversation with a complete stranger as if you have known them all your life.


I've been told that's a US thing...is it?

What really annoys me is when I'm driving and people have stopped their pickups in the road having a chat...I don't mind when they do it, but move when you see someone coming!

 

[cleckner04]

This thread just makes me angry So much of this is SO true.

I get angry when I go in a store with my stroller and the racks are so close together that I can't get through.

I get angry when people try to make faces at Emma and talk to her while we are in the middle of having a nice meal at a restaurant. It's one thing to smile at her but to constantly sit there and disturb her from eating her dinner...it seriously get's on my nerves. She's easily distracted and I'm the one that has to deal with a grumpy hungry baby later.


And this ones not baby related but when everyone in a thread on here gets 'thanked' but me. I've made a thread about it before but I just feel so unloved when an entire thread of people get thanked and I'm left there hanging.

 

[sausages]

OOO!!!

Rude people in general, but usually those who don't say thank you when you hold a door open for them or something similar.

People who make eye contact in the street, but don't return your smile. Miserable twonks!

Those who park in parent and child spaces without kids. My husbands friend actually scratches those people's cars, which i would NEVER do, but i can't help chuckling a little.

Loud eating and eating with your mouth open. It's just plain minging.

Trying to get my double buggy (not a side by side one) round shops with all the Christmas tat in the way.

People who get PROPER annoyed in their cars. It's not an immunity bubble people, one of these days someone will get out and punch you in the face!

Cold call sales people who come to the door. Our street has a trading standards sign that specifically says we have all opted out of cold calling.

Other people making unthinking judgemental comments about my parenting: My mum, "Oooh, you can't shove him in the hallway to sleep, poor kid!" Erm, it's warm, more dimly lit and away from my toddler screaming at him and poking him all the time without being all the way upstairs and a pain for me to get to. People in her generation used to leave their kids in the garden for gods sake!

Women smoking and drinking to excess while pregnant. Thats all i'll say about that cause i have pretty extreme opinions and i wouldn't want to get into it here.

That's it for now. I am sure there will be more...

 

[KittyVentura]

Visitors that come when Fin is napping and expect me to wake him up, try and wake him up themselves or point blank go and pick him up!

I swear if my MIL does this today I might scream. "Yes, I KNOW you come on Tuesdays to visit during your lunchbreak, but it just so happens that he sleeps then, LET HIM BEEEEEE!"

 

[tu123]

Cold call phone calls when LO is asleep!

 

[XfairyhopesX]

GRRRRRRRRRRR Parking cars so close to walls ON THE PAVEMENT happens loads to me cos i dont drive i have to push my pram on the road busy ones sometimes it happened last week and i swore.... QUITE LOUD so they looked out the window and rammed it through (got stuck thoughl ol) and made a nice litte mark, oops sorry!!!! wank*rs xx

 

[MissBroody]

Grrr! Similar - When I ask people to take their shoes off before they walk all over my brand new CREAM carpet that LO plays about on!! They look at me like ive asked them for blood! And then next time ask ''still want us to take our shoes off?'' Uh - is my carpet still cream? Does LO still lie on it to play? Then YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
XX

 

[Feltzy]

Cars parked on the pavement so I have to walk on the road with my 3 yr old and pram.

The other day I went to the white rose centre (big shopping centre) and there were LOADS of people queueing for the lifts, a few in wheelchairs and loads with prams, so I was annoyed when a gang of teenagers (about 10 of them) took up all the lift so that everybody else had to wait. The escalators weren't even that far away!

People driving right up my backside when I have the kids in the car.

OH will wear a t shirt and leave it on top of the washing basket, I ask him if its dirty and he'll say no I only had it on a few hours after work, but then he wears a different t-shirt the next day until eventually there are 10 t shirts all not ready to be washed piled on the washing basket!!! grrrrr.

 

[kaylz]

People who put their fingers in my LO's mouth.

It's his MOUTH ffs and your dirty fingers are covered in GERMS

MIL does it all the time and it makes me scream, but an old woman in Asda did it the other day and I had to ask her not to -she looked at me like I was the rudest person ever!

 

[AshOllie]

This really annoyed me the other day. I am very much for safety in the car. Ollie always sits in his seat which was put in by my Dad so I know is in properly. He is always strapped in and to be honest I always drive a lot more carefully with Ollie in the car. So when the women behind me the other day was driving with her friend just holding her child on her lap no one with seatbelts it drove me mad! The fact that she tailgated me too nearly just pushed me over the edge!

 

[kate.m.]

This 1s a bit controversial: it bugs me when children wear identical outfits! even identical socks n hair bobbles!! *prepares to b hit with stones* Does this bother any1 else? or is it just me? DH always laughs at me about it!
I know its none of my business what other ppl's kids are wearing, but (i mostly mean children of school age) i imagine it to be like: "Welcome home from school where ur forced 2 wear the same as every1 else ur age... now lets get you into your home uniform which ensures ur still both dressed the same without any expression of individuality in ur clothes!" Sometimes its cute, like for parties etc, but not all the time! I reckon most parents would only do it if the kids didnt mind, but my friend n her 2 siblings were forced 2 wear matching outfits for aaaages! My (identical twin) cousins were dressed similar, but 1 would always have a blue something n the other a bit of red, coz they were their fave colours!
(i really hope im not the only 1 who notices this!)
