Small things that annoy me.

People telling you to ‘take care’ when they couldn’t care less what happens to you.
My husband pouring the dregs of his coffee in the sink and not washing them away. It stains.

Checkout staff saying ‘Thank you for waiting,’ when I didn’t exactly have any choice, unless I wanted to leave my shopping and walk out.
‘Sorry to keep you waiting’ would be more appropriate! But presumably that’s seen as ‘negative’ by the retail-psychologists.

I’m not blaming the staff at all, I know they’re told to do it, but I wish management would realise how irritating it is.

Something else I’ve just heard on the radio - Brits saying ‘airplane’ instead of aeroplane, or just plane.

Esspee Dogs don't have owners they have servants

People who talk to dogs about their “mummy” or “daddy” when they mean owner.
A bit worrying that I can think of loads more.....really need to get my day (in real life) started and get off the internet. Have a lovely day everyone.

I love to hear Gregory Porter as well.

I agree with Calendargirl about the washing up water, I can't bear it if people don't change the water or rinse the crockery.
People who carry their dogs around and treat them like babies
My husband talking in double negatives, really grates
Like BlueBelle I dislike the mini dramas which are related in great detail " it was Wednesday, no it was Tuesday because ....." I don't care !!

Using Mom instead of Mum.

Oh, where do I start?
Bags on the seat on buses and trains.
Facebook posts like, ‘ Share if you’re against child abuse’ ( No thanks, I think it’s great), ‘ Share to raise awareness of breast cancer’ ( Breast cancer? Never heard of it), or the ‘ Happy Heavenly Birthday to Granny’ and the ‘inspirational’ quotes, and many more.
Dogs & cats being called furbabies ( as said before)
Husbands being called hubby.

I used to chastise my father for being intolerant of trivial things. I am turning into him.

Being the only one who knows how to change a toilet roll in this house.

Fur babies ......just nauseating
Drivers who don't acknowledge you waited and those who don't know what indicators are.
People who don't say thank you when you hold the door open.
Adds in the middle of FB videos.

Probably more if I think about it.

Oh yes, while I’m on a rant....people who say DefinATEly instead of DEFinitely. No doubt they spell it wrongly too. <skulks away to pedant’s corner>

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.

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

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!

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.

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!

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Another annoying Americanism.
