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

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?

In addition to this annoying set up, I've also been to ones that put the really high powered hand dryers right next to the baby changing station...REALLY? That's the best location you could find for that ridiculously loud thing that makes my child scream the whole time I'm changing him as people dry their hands next to me....

Okay, so I know we mentioned the spelling thing earlier, and I said I try not to get annoyed by it anymore, but I have one that DH and I saw over the weekend, and even he noticed the misspelling and thought they should have had someone who is able to spell do the advertising since it was for a business...

It was a grocery store, and on their advertising sign up front they had put up "Ballpark hot dogs, all meet franks" on sale. It only really bothered me because it's a business. They should be extra careful to make sure things are spelled correctly/use the correct spelling for the word they mean to use.

i hate dressing in warm clothes as its lovely and sunny when you leave for work, to then sit in a office watching the rain get harder, stronger and longer, then 2 mins before home time, its absolutely peeing it down and you realise, your going to get really wet on the way home!!

We spent the night away (with LO) at a hotel about an hour away from home before spending the following day doing our shopping. It's been super hot and sunny where we live. We got up there and it was overcast, cool and light rain the whole day. All I had packed for any of us were t-shirts and shorts! No long pants or jackets. Needless to say we hurried from the car to the stores.

Honestly when ppl type lik dis or say u and idk and any other short hand. It doesn't take much to type a couple extra letters. Also, semi trucks in the left lane on the highway.... that's the fast lane so get out of my way!!!

yeah i agree that advertisements for businesses should be checked for spelling etc... it mainly bothers me when it's people getting annoyed with my spelling in general like on here or in a text or something.... but saying that i couldnt tell you whats wrong with the spelling of that advertisement that you saw with a spelling mistake lol i literally cannot tell whats wrong with it at all

Meet: as in meeting a friend
meat: something you eat

 

[steph.]

I apologise to the person who gets annoyed at shit parkers...thats me! I try really hard to park in the right way but sometimes the car just wont do what I want it to, the baby is screaming, the toddler needs a wee, so I just say "stuff it, that's good enough, I'm in between my lines (just)".

Pet peeves...
- People/cars in my way that ar going soo slow
- Vegetarians posting things on facebook about how eating meat is like eating your grandmother ect.
- And a random one...people saying that they have taught their babies to chew because they blw. All babies learn to chew!!!
-Oh and also people who pretend not to see you when you obviously need a hand.

 

[steph.]

And another one...when my dh thinks that the clothes he wears aren't dirty enough to be washed, but too dirty to be put back in the wardrobe, he puts them in a half way pile on the floor. I HATE that pile!!!!!! HATE IT!!!!!!!! I destroy it about 3x week, leave angry notes, but it just keeps coming back!

 

[Lovn.sunshine]

Haha Steph, I feel your pain, my dh has the same damn pile!

 

[Bex84]

I hate
adults who cannot say please and thank you, especially to my 2 year old who is always polite. I want her to understand manners are a good thing and it costs nothing. Just because she is 2 doesn't mean that when she steps to side to let you past or hands you something you dropped you don't say thank you

People airing dirty laundry on facebook, especially when they break up with partner every couple of days, have a moan about them and then when other person puts something says they are trying to get sympathy vote (pot calling kettle black), same person moaning about ex wife where his children can see the comments

People on facebook who put shit day on status then wait for the oh what's the matter and say they cant say on facebook

Cliques at baby and toddler, come on we are not at high school any more and my gosh the shock and horror when someone joins who didn't grow up in village (such as myself lol, just because I didn't go to school with you doesn't mean there is something wrong with me lol)

This is so my OH! Except his pile isn't on the floor it's ON the washing basket! When he first started doing it I assumed they were for washing then he'd wonder where his clothes were and get frustrated when I said they were in the machine. He still leaves them on top of the basket and I keep throwing them on the floor when I need to empty the basket. It's an ongoing issue!

Another big gripe is bad drivers. Ones who clearly never read their Highway Code and don't know how to use the road properly.
*If you want to cross the pavement to get to a driveway or petrol station it is (usually) my right of way as a pedestrian, not yours!
*Going 30 in a 60 limit can be as dangerous as going 80, speed up!
*The National speed limit varies, the number of people who have no idea what it means is shocking.
*Indicators are there for a reason- use them!
*Everyone was a learner at some point, tailgating them because they're in your way is not going to help them learn quicker.
*Zebra crossings are not designed for you to fly over without looking for pedestrians.
*Double yellow lines mean don't park there, parking over the pavement and road does not make it ok, you're simply causing a problem for cars AND pedestrians.
*Yes I live on a narrow, single lane but the top of my driveway is not an official passing place- don't glare at me/yell at me to move when I'm daring to drive out of my driveway!

Agh! Drivers annoy the living day lights out of me, you're driving a ton of metal, you should know how to do it properly.

And no I'm not a perfect driver!

Delivery companies that give you a time of delivery as 9am-9pm.....yes cheers for that because obviously I have nothing better to do than sit in the house for 12 hours (then of course for that 10 mins you spent at the shop is when they come)

delivery companies that just leave a notification in you mailbox although you were home

 

[morri]

Mostly at the turkish owned Shops. Telling I dont need a bag(i have got a backpack, other cloth bag on me already, and still giving me one. The butcher is especially bad for it, he uses about 3 diff bags one for meat, one for the fruit and one for the cans...

i was just going to post that, just 10 mins ago i started to cross over the road at the entrance to a petrol station, i started crossing before the driver started to turn (without indicating i will add).. he then revved up right behind me, im sorry but i do have right of way, read the highway code, it says so!!

worse when your crossing at the exit and someone tries to drive in that way, once i stopped in the middle pretending to look in my bag, he beeped at me to move, needless to say i told him where to go and that this is the EXIT not entrance!! idiot

i also hate tailgaters esp when its to a learner, you are supposed to leave them room behind for a reason dumbass, cars without indicators (mainly audis, bmw and merc's that dont seem to have them for some reason)

people who say 'mush' embarrassingly my OH is one of then

when my OH doesnt put his clothes to wash then moans that i dont wash them, im sorry but im not going round every room in our 4 bedroom house to pick your clothes up that you leave at your arse, bring them to wash or dont get them washed, simple!!


ETA: quote didnt work for some reason :s

 

[Bex84]

Oh another one for me is people especially vans who insist on parking on pavement so no room for push chair or to walk past meaning I have to walk around on road and people who have dogs who don't clean up dog mess when out walking

kind of similar..

when people & bin men leave their bins in the middle of the path so not only pushchair users, but wheel chair users cant get past, you know how annoying it is having to put brakes on pram to move the bin to go back to the pram to be able to get past, leave it at your wall or take it in, simple

 

[Bex84]

I know exactly what you mean. Our bin men are awful around where we live as when they empty bins they plonk them in middle of pavement

 

[BabyMamma93]

i dont actually know if it is the bin men in my street, they always manage to put the first few houses bins to the wall properly, it just seems the further up the road you get the more they stick out, i wonder if they just cba by the time they get further up x

 

[Bex84]

Our road its due to all the front gardens are on a hill so you have to put bins up at top of path and they can't be bothered to put them back. I have seen them just push them in general direction. Luckily us and neighbours do a share of jobs so generally dh takes up in morning ours and theirs and neighbour brings down as they are usually are in after rubbish collected
