Things that annoy you beyond reason...? [Vol 3]

Not a parent, then?

anyone taking their kids to somewhere like Hamleys at 9pm, by public transport is going to get pissed off with any and everything

doesn't make it right, but this is the 'unreasonably annoyed' thread

[james_tigerwoods]

I figured I'd open myself up for some stick really

We were down for 3 days and considering we managed clothes and everything for me, the girlfriend, a 3 and 6 year old in 2 standard sized rucksacks, I'm pretty impressed. The 3 year old was confined to the pushchair (I said stroller as the full sized jobbie was intentionally left at home) and the 6 year old girl was a proper mardy arse and refused to listen (she was properly told off, none of that namby pampy st)

I tried my damnedest to avoid rush hour on purpose for the kids and for Lahn-daners but every attempt was thwarted by delays, randomly shut stations, busted lifts and what seemed like a general hatred for other humans. My 3 year old, however, was chirpy and happy (not in an annoying way) and chatted to strangers on the tube - some who even talked back - and a couple who scowled (which was lovely (!))

On the other hand, the science museum was awesome - The queue for the Natural history museum was HUGE

We were there at 7, I expected to be out by 8 and in the hotel, in Wembley, not too late.

I forgot how much of a zoo Hamleys is....

if i went along the road to the supermarket, in the car, with my 3 and 6 yr olds, at that time, it would end up in a fight over something (possibly a kinder surprise egg, or being allowed to put the trolley back, or sitting in the middle seat, or christ knows what)

I try to have them safely home by 6, for the good of my own nerves

[james_tigerwoods]

Given that I've seen my two argue over paper, it's a miracle we all got back...

Passengers who get on my bus then look for their pass/money!!!!!

Oh my god that used to drive me insane too! Every day you would see the same gormless people standing at the same stop, who appeared genuinely surprised when a bus arrived and expected them to pay up. Handbags would be emptied and pockets searched as the queue behind them had to wait. The same thing happens in supermarket queues too.

People who if they have a shunt on the motorway get out and exchange details while still in which ever lane they where in when it happened rather than heading to the hard shoulder.

Cheryl Dachshund Versini. Fair enough she's back on the X Factor judging panel but releasing solo music again? That's just unacceptable.

She does seem to get better looking with age though.

I do that already - I only see feeds from about 15 people, but I've discovered, the hard way, what happens if you remove the wrong people.

Sometimes the less controversial solution is to turn off notifications for the person so that their posts no longer show up in your news feed. I have done that for several prolific posters whose posts I don't want to see, but I don't want to de-friend them either. From time to time I look on their walls to see what they are posting and to decide whether I want to re-subscribe.

I'm under no illusions that some of my friends have probably done the same to me - I tend to post a fair amount of crap on Facebook (especially when drunk).

I've got notifications turned off for loads, but every now and then I dip in to their feed and realise that I was right to do so...

I have unfortunately had to turn notifications off from my own father, and auto block anything from "britain first" that he keeps reposting despite him having been told repeatedly that they are basically the NF on steroids.

My boss on the phone as he listems to some lengthy diatribe from someone on the other end and is going "mmm, mmm, mmm,mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm,mmm, mmm, mmm,mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm,mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm,mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm,mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm,mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm,mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm,mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm,mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm,mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm,mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm,mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm,mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm,mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm,mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm,mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm," all the time he is listening.

Not occaionally but constantly while the other person is talking.

Its driving me nuts!

A relatively sensible radio station trying to be hip. Like u say, have a word.

[JonRB]

People turning on their rear fog lights on congested motorways when there is even a breath of mist.

Rear foglights are so the person behind you can see you and not run into you. If visibility is 50 car lengths, and the person behind you is 5 car lengths from you, then they can bloody see you from your ordinary lights and your rear foglights are doing nothing apart from searing their eyeballs.

People that use host sites like Photobucket and Flickr, allow photos to be shared then remove the pics, so when you are reading a How To guide and trying to follow pictures you find they are no longer available

Who at 5Live thinks it's a cool idea to have the promo trailers done in an American accent? It's just annoying and sounds very dated.

Are you sure it's not just Irish, and is one of their "cool" regional/ethnic accents they seem to use everywhere?

[Nom de ploom]

Drivers and cyclists wearing headphones whilst driving / cycling...FFS.

Go ahead and deprive yourself of one of your 5 senses whilst on the road...very clever that.

not saying they deserve to die but i'd be hard pushed to find sympathy for them if they had an accident - its other on the road that pay....

[droopsnoot]

Seeing someone mis-spell "Doughnut" on another thread reminded me of how mildly irritated* I am every time I walk past the local KFC and see the signs for "Drive Thru". I know they're an American firm, I know they're doing it for corporate identity and to bring a slice of the good ol' USA to dingy old Britain, but something should be done. There's a valid reason for all those extra letters we use in words like "through" and "night", there must be. I know, evolution of the language. But it's still annoying.

* Yes, but there isn't a 'things that make you mildly irritated' thread.
