Small things that annoy me.

Who’s Gregory Porter ?

People who describe their partner as their soulmate.

Me too for that one.
And women who identify as ‘Fred’s wife ‘ and don’t have their own email address.

PS found Gregory Porter on YT. You learn something new everyday on here.

Gregory Porter: "I’ve had some surgery on my skin, so this has been my look for a little while and will continue to be for awhile longer. People recognise me by it now. It is what it is."
So, it is for medical reasons.

Urmstongran, that one makes me want to gag. Urgh. Get a room and spare the rest of us.

Mrs. Fred. Jones. Eh? Don't you have a name.

People that don't move over on the path when you're on a collision course. Better hope I'm not having an off day or you'll be bumped into.

People who are arrogant enough to dominate conversations without listening to others. It's a 2 way street, and if it isn't I'm not going to listen to you.

So many things...

People who say phone numbers wrong, i.e. it should be 07865 123456 and not 078 65123 45 6

People who call their dogs ‘furbabies’

Shop assistants who don’t acknowledge you and continue speaking to their colleagues while they serve you

Frost on my windscreen that doesn’t look like frost until I start driving and then I realise I can’t see - this usually happens when I’m running late

Losing my keys. I do this all the time and it drives me insane.

I could go on and on but I’ll spare you all. I seem to be irritated a lot nowadays - hopefully it’s just a phase and the HRT will sort me out

If that's the case SirChenJin, my daughter needs HRT and she's not 40 yet.

Oh dear...

Yep all of the above - oh and being called darling by perfect strangers.

Being referred to as ‘you guys’ when I am obviously female?

Another annoying Americanism.

Radio dedications - I’m sorry but I don’t want to listen to lists of names and lovey dovey declarations to somebody I don’t know.

Drivers who don’t thank me when I pull in to let them pass.

A woman on Twitter who lights a candle every few hours and posts to tell us.eg a candle for lonely people, a candle for the poor. I feel like telling her she is wasting her time.

Normally I am not irritated by very much but lately I'm sick to the back teeth of people who allow themselves to be put upon, taken advantage of (often by their husbands who treat them like servants/waitresses) and meekly accept it all - and then complain about it.

If you are subject to unacceptable behaviour, from anyone, take steps to change or stop it.

Complaining solves nothing.
Although it's a fairly good way of getting sympathy.

But not from me.

People who stand at the supermarket check-out, watch their items pass through, then start packing, followed by a scrabble in pockets or bag for payment card or cash. Grr!

People saying 'can I get...' when ordering in cafes and restaurants.

I take exception (not much exception) to the telephone number annoyance in your post Sirchen I have to remember my number in a certain sequence it’s 0 xxx xx xx xxx if someone says it back to me in a difference sequence I am completely thrown
However you ll be thrilled to know I totally agree on the fur baby and over the rainbow bridge stuff it drives me scatty I can’t stand it
When shop assistants say ‘see you soon’ or ‘have a wonderful day’ I have a huge urge to say ‘ no you won’t’ or ‘why should I’

What really annoys me is people who make every tiny happening into a HUGE drama It’s very waring and I just can’t play into it I have a lot of empathy for most people but there are some who just dative you nuts

People who put dirty pots in the empty sink. They the all have to be lifted out again to be washed.

shysal I so agree on the checkout thing.

I am quite deaf even with wearing hearing aids but apparently it is hilarious and am the butt of many jokes. Also women who say “my husband looks after all of that”, I want to put my hands around their necks and squeeze the life breath out of them with my bare hands.

Waiters, or anyone really, who stack used plates on top of ones with food underneath instead of scraping the left over food off first.
Washers up at social functions who use about an inch of grubby water to wash dozens of cups and saucers instead of using fresh every now and again, (and yes, I DO wash up or dry myself if possible).
People who pile their plates up at buffet meals then leave most of it.
Oh dear, looks like most of my gripes relate to eating!

Fur babies.
You guys.
See you later.
Younger people saying " bless " when I make a statement as if older people were incapable of saying anything intelligent.
Bad table manners.

Social media "chain messages" threatening us with bad luck if we don't send it on to ten friends including the one who sent it to us!
We used to get these on post cards as children; our mum used to burn them!

Leaving the toilet seat up. The words babes, you guys, whatever, see ya laters. My list goes on

People who mispronounce assume as ashume. When I first noticed this I assumed it was a speech impediment, now I hear it all the time even from well educated people. Always want to ask them how they pronounce assumption.
