things that annoy you

[lisa9999]

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.

Hee hee, thats my biggest pet hate too!!!!

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!)

It annoys me too. I saw once 4 kids (1 boy & 3 girls) all dressed in Burberry outfits & their mom was holding a burberry changing bag & wearing a burberry scarf. All in beige.

Telemarketing calls. Even though I am registered on TPS, and even though I have told one company who ring me repeatedly that I want to be taken off their list, they still call. Every night. Usually just after I have put Holly to bed (yeah, like that is a good time to try to speak to me...I am normally numb from the neck up by that time of day).

People who knock my front door REALLY LOUDLY. The postman does it, even though I ask him not to, and today the Virgin Media engineer did it - so loudly that it woke Holly - who sleeps upstairs, right at the other end of our house. Arsehole.

Junk mail being put through my door. Even though I have a notice saying no junk mail, no menus, etc etc etc. I actually chased a guy down the street last week and threw him menu at him (in my defense, he does it every day and I think he does it to wind me up).

Bad manners. I am teaching my daughter to be polite, to say please/thank you/excuse me - and today when we were walking on the pavement some uber skank with a fag hanging out of her mouth was behind us and shouted 'beep beep'. Seriously? You just beeped at me? Moron.

People who use emoticons or 'lol' in business emails. No no no no no.

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!

THIS THING REALLY DOES MY HEAD IN....AS SOON AS LAY MY TWO BOYS TO SLEEP HERE COMES THE POSTMAN DROPPING LETTERS WITH FORCE THROUGH THE METAL LETTER Box!

i get angry when visitors come just to c the newborn,,,when they can clearly see dirty dishes,or messy sitting room. n they expect a cup of tea too.

here is another one when am paying at the cashier n they start asking questions all the time,,,,,,do u want bag madam,do u have bonus card,would like one madam?r u paying by card or cash?cash back?how much?here is ur change 2pounds 50.arrghhh shush its a headache!!!!!!!!!!

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!

i dont mind chating with strangers or the cashiers but what annoys me is the questions over n over evrytime i go thier.n i go to the same shop almost evryday.n i know they know me by now but still ask those endless questions.

 

[chele]

Road rage central here
When you let people through and they just don't say thank you back. I now swear at them so they can see me as they sail past.
People who drive at 20 in a 40 zone (regularly happens near me and generally are old biddies)
Old drivers worry the shit out of me and I believe that once you hit 70 you should have a kind of test every year to keep your licence. So shoot me.

People who park like idiots. The lines are there for a reason, park in them nobhead.

People who don't hold open doors for you with the buggy. People who walk straight into you, with or without the pushchair. Take Meadowhall for example, I am always the one to move out of peoples way. Why? And then I say sorry. Why?

Wet towels on the floor
The toilet seat up
The fact that DH keeps his mouth open when cleaning his teeth and the bathroom gets covered in toothpaste. Guess who has to clean it up? Also a gunk patch underneath his toothbrush where it sits. Bleugh.
Empty toilet roll holders that don't get replaced.

Grrrrrrrr

 

[Mrs Dot]

When people can't drive on the right side of the road! Seriously we DRIVE ON THE LEFT in ENGLAND!

people who have no children/bags/trolley yet still don't move out of the way despite seeing you walking towards them with a pram.

People who are so impatient in shops waiting eg for you to put your purse back in your changing bag before you move the pram on. I take longer now just to pi*s them off!

my most hated and dh's atm - people asking when we're having another baby er.... we have one to lookafter and enjoy seeing grow up. And we know how to use contraception carefully! so no not anytime soon!

 

[Mrs Dot]

all of the above lol and people who dont strap their children in while driving along in the car! women who push their prams out into the road then you see their heads afterward seeing if a car is coming??? stupid people it takes one driver not to be looking!! or those who run across the road with their children and not using a crossing!! people not saying thank you really annoys me! people starring at me as they asume im a teenager id prefer them to just ask im 27 for goodness sake!!!!
sorry rant over

This seriously does my head in grrrr why put your child's life at risk instead of your own? oh yeah because you quite obviously don't have a brain to realise that it might be wrong.

 

[Dragonfly]

People who interrogate you. They call it being nice but its not its none of their business what they are asking and wouldn't answer the same questions if put to them! yes I do live here and no its none of your business how much I pay for it or if I own it and any other aspect of my financial state midwife!
same goes for the tesco man who drives past my house all the time then calls me to ask where it is when you can hardly miss it and it does give a clue in the address what your looking for! yes people do live here thats right! it dosnt look abandoned and its not a tourist attraction.

yes that does bug me to, since the gate has been broken people just park up all hop out of their cars and walk around talking pics. I am sat here bathing my son in my livingroom looking right at you! it does say private land on the way up the drive wt are you doing up here taking pics! sojme even have to call to tje door and ask for a tour. Some walk in if my door is open and ask can they use the loo,. This is not public property people live here please get the feck off the land! not also it isnt a hotel and you cannot park up and stare at the place while you eat your take away! and no I am not answering your 20 questions about who owns it and what all goes on. And the usual "is it haunted" ffs.

very very nosey poeple obviously piss me off.

Now baby related , people who comment always negatives things, "oh he is to thin" oh he is this and that but never nice things. My family does that. Its uncalled for. Its offensive and I will rip your face off if you insult my child.

people who put down what I do parenting wise, open your minds a bit and see everyone isnt wrong. even I don think they are wrong yet all I get is how wrong I am for doing it my way and that I will end up paying one day when clearly you will and already are! but i dont care enough to inform them of this so let me get on with it. Keep nose out! i will out of yours to and you do not have a right like you think to get stuck in there.

 

[MrsBandEgglet]

Sneezing! I hate sneezing It just really gets on my nerves, I hate the fact it takes a sneeze ages to come and i the sensation is awful. Also, loud eaters get on my nerves and people who mumble. Please, just speak clearly, then I won't have to ask you half a dozen times what you said and then answer you in a tone that suggests I want to beat you down with a spatula! xx

Adding to this when they push the pram out into the road behind a car that has stopped so LO is perfect height for the exhaust fumes.

 

[Wriggley]

the thing that DRIVES ME MAD is at the entrance to the car park of our hospital there is a big sign that says 'welcome to our smoke free hospital' and right underneith it is a wall which ALWAYS has aload of hospital staff puffing away on their vile fags!

 

[Kate&Lucas]

People using lifts when they clearly have no reason, other than their lazy arses, not to use the stairs/escalator.
I was in Primark a few weeks ago with Lucas and FOB, (now I know it's partly my fault for going there in half term with a pram, but it had gotten cold and Lucas needed a cardi, anyhoo), we ended up at the back of a queue of about 7/8 prams, all waiting for the lifts which kept stopping on our floor crammed with seemingly able-bodied people.
It wound me up so much!! We ended up carrying the pram down the stairwell two floors to get out because it was just ridiculous, looked like we'd be there at least an hour or more.

 

[lisa9999]

Loud hot drink slurpers

Drives me insane!!

 

[PrayinForBaby]

people who chew with their mouth open lol gets me everytime!

Grrrr! Yeah, forgot about that one!

 

[Natasha2605]

God I have hundreds! :

* Can Openers. I need an electrical one. Grrrrrrrrrr

* OH's inability to put Summer's pooey nappies into a nappy bag before chucking them in the bin. Yes darling, I am at home all day with her and don't mind smelling crap every time I open the bin to put something in.

*People who don't hold doors open when entering / leaving places. The other night a guy wanted in our stair and I was also going in so used my key and told him to go first. He shut the door in my face!!! Was absolutely fuming, he knew I wanted in there and you can't miss Summer's buggy!

*People who assume in a ''typical '' teen mummy who doesn't work and scrounges. In reality, I've worked every day since I was 16,Go to uni next year, live with my OH in our own flat and pay for everything we own!

*When buses are late. I rely on them and in case they haven't noticed, it's freeeeeeezing nowadays.

*When I go to ASDA and come home then realise I've forgotten the main thing I went for. Yesterday it was potatoes.

*People who tease, poke and prod at Summer. Yesterday on the bus a lady was dangling her keys right in her face and when Summer reached out for them she laughed and put them in her bag. Grrrrr

*People who clog up the baby aisles chatting. Makes me sooooo angry.

That's all for now xx

I have a few - some baby related and some not.


• People who smoke in the doorways of shops when there’s only one way in or out and you don’t have a choice but to walk through it.

• The lovely people who come out of the social club up the road and leave pavement pizzas outside our house.

• People who don’t pick up their dog poo.

• Stepping in some chewing gum – this is the worst thing ever, someone elses salivary chewing gum on the bottom of your shoe, can’t stand it!

• People who take dogs into childrens play areas, why? I’ve even seen people letting their dogs wee up against the slides etc.

• People smoking in their car with children in the back and people smoking right next to their children – very selfish in my opinion (hope I haven’t offended anyone with this one).

• When my LO is having a slight grizzle when we are out and people feel they can comment on him as if they know him – e.g. yesterday a woman said ‘oh he’s fed up of shopping isn’t he’ – we’d only just got there and he was actually wanting his lunch, he wasn’t fed up at all, in fact he loves shopping.

• When people say ‘when are you having another one?’. They just assume that everybody who has 1 child will definitely have another one.

• When you finish your shopping and realize that there has been a mistake on the receipt – you go to the Customer services desk and they make you feel like it’s your fault and don’t even apologise!


OMG i feel like a right old moaner now - anyway i've got all that off my chest!

 

[Raggydoll]

Stupid chain letters/texts. I got these lovely ones yesterday.

"If you love ur mum send dis to twenty people. One girl didnt send & her mum died 365 days later. I love my mum. Sorry I can't ignore."

"I looovvveee youuu.! whoever stops this will be unhappy for the first 5 months of 2011 tell nine people you love them. I hope I am one"


Seriuosly, who makes this s*** up.

Agreed. I actually think the mum dying threat is very sick

* Can Openers. I need an electrical one. Grrrrrrrrrr

Oh god this used to be me, I bought a more expensive manual one (Culinare is the brand I think) and it is so much better...
