Things that annoy you that shouldn't

Being kept waiting for an appointment when you know there is noone with the person you're seeing.

People chatting and taking up the whole pavement or aisle in a shop.

Impatient drivers.

I could go on and on......

People that don’t say thanks or smile when you hold a door open, people who talk loudly on their phones or eat noisy/smelly food, drink alcohol on public transport.
People saying someone ‘passed’ rather than died.

I absolutely agree with all of the above!

Hair annoys me for some reason. Since lockdown all the schoolgirls seem to have hair down to their waists. The oldies have gone gray and let it grow wild.The young women have gone curly and wear it covering one eye. I feel like getting out the scissors.

Some of these annoying things may reduce our options. For instance if an estate agent does not understand apostrophes in his Rightmove entry I think twice about his ability as an estate agent.

Again when someone says "passed" when they mean died they may be unable to accept death and loss.

Hair for me too kircubbin but for a different reason. I have no hair and during the pandemic, I was sick and tired of people complaining that they couldn't get to the hairdresser as their hair was a mess. Several posts on here about it. I felt like screaming 'BE GRATEFUL'. Yes I know that's unreasonable.

I don't mind adults choosing to freeze as they dress pretty for Eastertide but I can't forget seeing a poor wee kid pale with cold in a pushchair and wearing only frilly frillies.

A few of us, all female, went out for a meal after work recently and as we entered the restaurant, the person said 'Hi guy's be with you in a second'.
We were seated when the person returned saying 'What can I get you guy's to drink?'.

Please...I loathe it!

People who say 'owers' instead of 'hours', including presenters on tv and radio, who really should know better! IMO.

People on Location Location Location saying 'property' instead of 'house'.

I say "owers" because I am Scottish. The way English people pronounce 'hours' as if it were "ars" is lazy.

3/4 people standing at the top of an escalator chatting as if they are the only ones on the planet, to the detriment of those falling off the top step!

Sneezes.

Phonetic spellings of business names - e.g. KwikFit, Super Cutz, XYZ Carz. They instantly lose any potential business from me. And don't even get me started on rogue apostrophes . Apple's, potato's or pear's.

Oh, and those drivers that don't acknowledge me letting them out of a junction, or waiting until they pass a row of parked cars.

Caleo, I don't understand how it's lazy to pronounce a letter that's not even in the word 'hour'!!!

People (my husband!) who say 'shall I do that for you when it's not just for me:

Shall I empty the dishwasher for you or vacuum for you etc.
It's not for me it's for both of us!!

People who sniff. Blow your nose, for goodness sake!

How long have you got? ?

There's a new hairdressers opened up near here called 'Luvely Hair'. Even if it was the only hairdresser for miles around, I don't think I could bring myself to go in...

Yes sniffers drive me mad. Also people who are constantly dabbing daintily at their nose with a hanky.

The saying Noth Easterners use "The Great North', I live in the Noth west and we are only mentioned on local news if there has been a mountain rescue [ usually not locals some stupid badly dressed person in plimsoles trying to do Striding edge} or a farmer has done something obscene with his sheep!!!.
We have the great North Run, the Great North Hospital,the Great North Children's hospital. The GreatNorth air ambulance I could go on.
I'm afraid in our house it is getting to be the Great North Yawn and sometimes The Great Noth F....t
I lived there for quite a few years and they were lovely jolly people always ready to laugh. Why have they started to tell everyone how great they are? You find out when you are among them.
