Small things that annoy me.

Oh, yuk!

Oh and people who stick their used fork into a communal serving dish instead of using the spoon supplied.

'play date'

People bringing trollies through the self service tills

People blowing their nose at the table

Being called 'lover', tuneless humming or whistling. Being told how to do something or what to do when the person telling you hasn't a clue! I could go on and on!

Weather forecasters who refer to the white stuff and the wet stuff instead of snow and rain.

When you walk into a department store and the assistant says “you alright?”. So I answer sweetly, yes thank you. Then another one appears. “You alright?” I answer a little less sweetly, yes thank you. A third appears. “You alright?”. This time I reply - no I’m not, I’ve got a bloody headache, I’ve just had a row with my daughter/friend/colleague and now I can’t be left in peace by overmade up women with caterpillar eyebrows who won’t leave me alone and instead of asking politely if they can help ask if I’m alright! Of course this is all said in my head.

But what the hell happened to can I help you??

Oh this thread made me laugh.
A grumpy old bag is me at present . Nothing personal.

I would be spitting feathers Ann. I was taught to be a good time keeper by my parents and if I am going to be delayed I immediately text/phone to explain. I am totally with you on this.

I haven’t read all through this thread so forgive me if this is also someone else’s grouch but I get so annoyed by one friend who arranges to pick me up and is always late by anything up to to 15 minutes.
I have to be ready just in case but it is everytime.
Also a relative who arranges a time and then 3times out of4 rearranges it to half an hour before or half an hour later.
I know, I should never have given up driving.

People who say. 'we all love dogs' or 'We all love eating cake'.. Just an example but this generalising winds me up.
Also Naga Munchetty leaning so far away to the left to avoid Charlie.. Does he smell funny?

Politicians that say "the truth of the matter is" ,knowing the next words are unlikely to be that

Media types who say "off the back of" .

When the word signpost is used as a verb.

‘Meeting with’ and ‘work colleague’ grate on me.

You have to be with someone to meet them, and colleagues are people you work with!

I dont like "we are all winners" I think the person that actually won deserves recognition.

Luckygirl, you can get stick on shower hook so you can hang shower gel in shower or a basket to hold bottles

Maybe your local health visitor can help by sending an occupational therapist round as they could put in a handrail for you in the shower and supply a shower chair

Aah reaching out definitely

Oh god yes reaching out Such an awful phrase, it sets my teeth on edge. Likewise ‘going forward’ - although I was horrified to hear those words coming out of my mouth recently.

Hand up ...I’m guilty off hubby!
People writing the word with to wit grrr
Eating with mouth open
Coughing or sneezing then wiping it on there clothes?
Not picking up dogs mess
Spitting
Call centres...press1 or press2 etc

DH hates ' reaching out to you' he says it makes his bum cheeks go funny

People who say 'mindset'. Skillset and Very much so

And people that moan moan moan about a particular programme but won’t switch it off if you don’t like it, Don’t watch it

Where to start.
Excitable sports commentators who use words like medalling and podiuming.
Same sports commentators who shove a microphone in a competitor's face saying "how do you feel the race went" when interviewing someone who just come 4th
Behaviour of politicians in Parliament. Of all colours.
Pretentious management speak and latest buzz words such as existential and triangulation.
People who can't say the following words. "Sorry" "Thank you" "Please"
Wittering woman who block supermarket aisles for purposeful shoppers.
Drunk people who think they are funny.
AND people who leave public/work toilets in a state or don't check after flushing that all has gone away.

Not a grouch honestly.

People who get angry because Greggs bring out some vegan product - they don’t have to buy it.

God, yes. And then rant about how vegetarians and vegans shouldn't want the convenience of 'sausage' or 'burger' shaped foodstuffs.

Eat them if you want to, ignore them if you don't, but why risk a stroke by getting so angry about what others are eating?

Actually, I do say samwich not samwidge.
Perhaps I'm posh, all those elocution lessons at school.
