Things that annoy you beyond reason...(Vol 4)

Pig-ignorant b
ds have pissed me off over the last couple of days:
1. Yesterday was on a footpath near my place and stopped to let a small group of pedestrians coming the other way through a narrow gateway. Far from saying thankyou, every one of them was so engrossed in either their phone or their headphones that I don't think any of them even noticed I was there.
2. In the local post office, was about to leave and the woman who had been served before me stood by the door fiddling with something in her purse. As she did so the door opened halfway and another woman tried to struggle her way in while carrying two sizeable parcels. The first woman looked up at her and instead of helping went back to fiddling with her purse, and then tutted at me when I walked (squeezed) past her to help the woman with her parcels.
3. In the Co-op, waiting at the tills to pay with about three others behind me, and the woman on one of the tills was far more interested in talking to a mate of hers than serving anyone.
I hate people!

It seems that your core worth is tied to external validation, possibly because it's not stable. Instead of deliberately putting yourself in a situation where you expect thanks from people (false praise) by performing some act of perceived good manners, you could do good and receive positive praise by volunteering for something? SD Theory suggests this would be a better way of gaining autonomy and self-confidence. ds have pissed me off over the last couple of days:1.

You need to stop hanging around alleys though or you'll wind up on the Sex Offender's Register.

The "Name a <insert item here> that doesn't have an <insert letter here> in it" posts on social media, when even a microseconds thought comes up with a list of items meeting the criteria.
Can only be posted by people with a serious vocabulary problem
Or by people gaming for likes, shares and comments. Can only be posted by people with a serious vocabulary problem
There's a whole subset of scamming that revolves around a page getting loads of "Like"s which then has a monetary value.
Personally I have the entire application framework disabled on Facebook and you'd be amazed how many of these games, surveys and the like require you to enable it. Errrr, I think I'll pass thanks; you won't be having access to my data.

Twice a day on the M1, I seem to spot a car with the fuel cap door not shut properly 
That's it?!? You're commuting (presumably) to and from work and the ONLY thing that annoys you beyond reason is an open filler cap?!? Are you some kind of Zen Buddhist? I get unreasonably annoyed if I have to wait for passing traffic before getting out of my street, and then it's all downhill from there...Halmyre said:

I get unreasonably annoyed if I have to wait for passing traffic before getting out of my street, and then it's all downhill from there...The thread is what annoys you beyond reason. It is entirely reasonable to be annoyed by a car that appears to be swerving all over the road as if it's driven by an itchy gorilla covered in ralgex, so that's not right for this thread.
Today, I am annoyed by the following:
Oats. f
king everywhere. crumbly and annoying. Dropping a 5p on a smooth surface and being unable to pick it up
Opening the boot on a windy day, putting my head inside and then being guillotined by the f
ker. It's reasonable to be a bit annoyed but I have the rage. Related to that - YuoTube videos that are vaguely interesting (eg clips from a TV show, or some of the compilations you get), but which are completely ruined by the compiler having stuck some horrible piece of totally inappropriate music on top as a 'soundtrack'.
And while I'm at it....YouTube comments. Just what purpose do they serve? Every single video seems to have comments full of Americans swearing at each other and calling each other 'gay', to the extent that you can't ever really send someone you know a link to a video due to the disgraceful stuff below it. Be better if everyone just disabled comments on their videos.

All this endless fking commercial, marketing guff about 'special days' we MUST get involved with whether we like it or not! E.g. fking Valentines day - "Lingerie She'll Love", fking Chinese NY - "Sweet Chilli Sauce You'd Love to Dip Your Cock In", Fathers Day, Mothers Day, Halloween, Guy Fawkes. FFS, Christmas is bad enough! Stop fking bombarding me with this infinite ste - I'll make my own mind up as to what I want to do, when I want to do it, and what I shall be celebrating, thanks very much!
To be fair, those are specific events on fixed dates, so "when to do it" and "what I shall be celebrating" isn't really an option.king commercial, marketing guff about 'special days' we MUST get involved with whether we like it or not!
