What little things gripe you? Pet peeves? Come have a rant! :)

[hayz_baby]

- People who boast about the amount they have drunk/their hangover like its a big deal/how cool are they. No, you are not cool, you are unhealthy and poisoning yourself. Have fun ruining your liver and gaining weight!

THIS! my sil text me last night saying she was off to the pub . . . 2 hours later she sent me a drunk text about how pissed she is. Ergh! !!!

Now you look like an idiot

In the same category, people who get drunk and then insist the next day they weren't drunk like they need loads of alcohol to get drunk orlike they are 16 again

 

[lhancock90]

Most of the people ITV hire for their shows really gripe me. Adrian Chiles? Holly Willo? RYLAN?!

People who comment to my clearly distressed child "oh are you naughty?" etc etc. No. Go away. You are making it WORSE.

People who ask what i do all day, or tell me i have it easy?! Er hello m8. I've got one kid in the terrible twos and one kids in the teenager threes. I spend most of my day crying wishing they could just get along.

People who assume because i have 2 kids and i look about 12 that i'm the scum of the earth. F you people!

People who walk really slllllooooooowwwwwwlllllyyyy or stand in the middle of the street/aisle. How can you be so UNAWARE of how annoyingly in the way you are?!

People who don't say thanks when you hold open a door or let them past of whatever. Go to hell people. Go to hell!

People who write ambigious statuses on FB "OH GOD I JUST WANT TO DIE" followed by twenty people asking why and then the original person saying "i just cant say" THEN DONT SAY ANYTHING AT ALL GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

Shopkeepers asking if i need a bag when i have brought over 5 items. Yes. Yes i need a bag. I can't effing juggle it all home can i! Or when they put ALL the bottle items in one bag knowing it'll split halfway home.

Phewwwwwwwwwww.
Quite a rant.

Oh I have a new one: This is SO irrational I know and I don't mean to offend anyone and I'm well aware it's stupid but I cannot stand when people go on about karma if they're not Hindu/Sikh/Buddhist in any way shape or form. It seriously makes me angry for like an hour.

Ha ha this very thought occurred to me just yesterday as it happens. My thought process went something like this:

A guy I used to go out with who cheated on me just put on Facebook that his fiancée had cheated on him and my first thought was - that's karma....Then I felt guilty for being happy about his misfortune/comeuppance.....Then I thought of all the naughty things I've done over the years and wondered if karma would get me for it....then I remembered I'm a Christian so I don't believe in karma


I'm a loaf of bread squeezer too

Yeah it's the fact that it's one sided! If something bad happens to someone they don't like, they deserve it because it's karma.... But karma is meant to be a natural law so EVERY bad thing that happens to everyone is karma, even awful things like a child dying and cancer, so the idea of it is actually a really horrible one. I blame My Name is Earl

The really mean impatient drivers who expect everyone to drive like them and are horrible if you don't. You know the ones who beep at you and swear if you don't take a huge chance pulling out at a busy junction and wait a bit longer, or don't like it if you're overtaking in the fast lane but dare to not travel at 90mph? Eurgh. They always give me panic attacks when I'm driving.

And men's spray deodorants. They smell like the weird perfume they put in the viewing rooms in a morgue and it's awful.

The same type of drivers who drive up the arses of learner drivers

Thought of one..

People who fill the kettle way up just to make one cup of tea.... why? Less water = less time to boil

The only spelling mistakes that get to me are people writing 'i'm so board' or 'She's gorgus' Grammer mistakes dont bother me but they do OH. It actually annoys me that it annoys him so much

The worst though is when another parents thinks their approach to parenting is right and feels the need to post endless articles/news reports ect about it without thinking of anyone else. THANKYOU *parent* for telling me that by having a hospital birth i was subjecting my daughter to germs/illnesses/disease that would make her sick - unfortunately my planned homebirth got scrapped because my daughter had known breathing problems and was born premature. Thankyou AGAIN *parent* for telling me that formula feeding is just for lazy, stupid people and that my daughter will never stand a chance of being as clever as my son (my son WAS bf) that she will never have a great immune system and we wont ever have a close bond - thats EXACTLY what i want to hear when my plans of breastfeeding have to be scrapped because my daughter is in an incubator, has a cleft palate, and needs to be fed through as tube for the foreseeable future... I could go on but i think you get the gist.
People, especially parents, are FAR too quick to judge someone else. NO parenting is 'better', we all have different circumstances and unless we know all the facts we should just help, support and appreciate that we are all trying our best to be good parents.

Parenting labels annoy me

I have one holier than thou type on Fb.. she even put a status slagging off a mumfrom a many group because she had make up on. her and her mates were like God I'd rather spend time with my children like she was the awful person for having make up on.
Then goes on about how she doest judge other mums...

So yeah hypocrisy really annoys me.

People who expect a bag every time they come in my shop seem hello bring your own stop wasting my money. They cost a small fortune. Your quick enough to bring your own when you have to pay our your that tight you struggle out the door dropping your items on the floor.

 

[R_x]

Spelling mistakes don't bother me (I probably make a lot myself) but one I see ALOT is when referring to someone as an angel yet put angle.

I hate it when people push infront of me in a queue. Once an old man (he wasn't very old or anything) did it and his wife even told him and he didn't care

When people walk out infront of cars especially when the red man is on telling you to wait. Do you want to be run over

 

[ExpectingK]

My OH will make a cuppa and leave the dirty spoon next to the kettle instead of putting it in the sink. He claims to be saving on washing-up and will re-use it later.

I can't stand it when the toilet roll is not replaced when it runs out. This happens a lot at work.......annoying when you realise mid wee that the paper is out of reach.

Putting things in the recycling bin which aren't for recycling.

I also prefer the kettle handle on the right but OH is left-handed so I'm often correcting it.

Trying to compensate for adding too much milk in tea but stewing the tea bag for longer.....you just get strong milky tea!!

 

[Lovn.sunshine]

Putting things in the recycling bin which aren't for recycling.

This!!! My dh puts sooo much nonrecycling in the recycle. Drives me mad!!

Not putting shoes out of the way, another dh one, I swear I trip over his damn work boots every flipping day!

Cutting multiple lanes suddenly. Esp without a signal

Looking down or away when walking past on the walking path, why not smile?! I always feel so awkward smiling at the side of their head

Taking the last paper towel or tissue or bit of toilet paper and not replacing

 

[emyandpotato]

What not to wear columns/shows/whatever. Wear what the hell you want! Eurghhhh.

Cutest baby competitions where it's a Facebook popularity contest. What actually is the point in this? Though any sort of kiddo's beauty contest is a bit weird IMO.

 

[HBGirl]

Childless people giving me parenting advice!

The words 'shabby chic' .
The family at the back of me, my son desperately wants to speak to their kids, is always saying hiya through the fence and they tell him to go away and say 'just ignore him' ...and that's while the parents are in the garden. Why do I bother teaching my son to be kind and friendly when he gets told to go away. They're only young as well, all under 5.
Text writing... M8 , gawjus ect... The phone writes it for you now, it's really not that hard.
Slow people in my way.

Wow, that's incredibly rude! I have neighbors I don't care for, but would NEVER say something within earshot like that, especially to their young kids. Way to build up self esteem in young kids, to have them hear they should be ignored and should go away...

Today I had to wait outside the baby changing room for 10 minutes whilst a builder man was in there having a poo . . . I'm sorry I don't care if it's more private then the men's toilets it don't make it okay for you to use the baby changing room when you don't have a baby! Also your plan for a private shit backfired when you opened the door to an audience of mums and babies who straight away knew how vom you are when the smell wafted into the hall bit

 

[Equreuil]

This! ^

It irks me to no end to see a single individual use the family restroom! I hate it most at Target because the changing table in the women's is so awkwardly placed right by the door (with a trash bin attached to the wall next to it) I constantly feel like I'm going to get hit by the door or run over while changing my son.

Also restaurants that don't have changing table in their restrooms at all.

People who make me navigate the stroller around them, even if it'd be easier for them to veer.

When my husband stops dead in front of me pushing the shopping cart while grocery shopping, and then moans about me hitting his heels. Well, it's his own fault for stopping without warning! (Or anyone does this but my husband is the worst offender).

People not paying attention to where they're going in the grocery, for that matter. I mean, come on! I understand that you're looking for specific items, so am I, but is a general awareness of your surroundings really so much to ask for?

im a smoker my self but i absolutly can not stand people blowing smoke near you, if im smoking and someone walks past me i do anything i can for the smoke to not go near them..
same if anyones eating, oh gosh this really annoys me, i was sat on a bench eating a sandwich when a bloke sat a meter or so away from me, and lit a cig, i just looked at him had a little huff and turned my back, he still made no attempt to stop the smoke going near me
