Irrational things that wind you up...

[Simonhepher]

Was pondering this earlier today at lunch as I watched someone use their knife & fork the wrong way round. For some reason it really gets my goat.

I'm usually very laid back but that's the exception to my rule.

Anyone else?

OK, how do you use them the wrong way?

Fork in the right hand, knife in left.

Dreadful, you'd never catch Mr Carson letting that one go at Downton!

Maybe they are left handed.

Sorry mate, doesn't wash. Southpaws should still use them the "correct" way. Told you it was irrational!

Who else has something that winds them up? (or am I cantankerous before my time?!)

In furtherance of your complaint, left handers who also set the table with the knife and fork the wrong way round.

Amen. Scandalous.

Also, I hate women in the gym who fill the changing room with talcum powder and spray aerosol deodorant all over the place. Sometimes it's impossible to breathe in there.

Actually that reminds me - blokes doing bicep curls in the squat rack! WTF?!


I think I'd risk lung damage though Scrubber to test your complaint

 

[mastercuntlover]

Girls being overly cute. As in "oh my goddddd! you look so prettyyyyy! we should go to lunch!!!!!"

Partially more annoying than nails on a blackboard. Give me a quiter, more self confident woman any day!

 

[MollyDolly]

My mom saying "eye-talian" (Italian) and stretching the word "film" into two syllables, as in "fil-um."

 

[C5MiGuy]

People that say "can't" when it's actually a choice.

"Hey man, let's go golfing this weekend."
"Can't. have to rake leaves."
"Will the leaves be there on Sunday?"
"Yeah."
"So rake them Sunday."
"Can't I'm watching football on Sunday."

Argh.

 

[Scrubber]

People who are leaving the tube station during the rush hour and then stop dead at the top of the staircase to light a fag.

Staff in posh restaurants saying "Enjoy your food, guys."

Bar staff who remove my beer before it is finished just because I've ordered another round before the ginormous group of blokes that's just come in gets to the bar.

I could go on forever - I like this thread!

Presidential Debates

Being called 'babes' or any variation on that theme. I don't know why but it really raises my hackles.

People who make noises when they chew. Not like 'nom nom' type noises, but like those wet, lip smacking noises.

Mispronunciation of words like mischievous, specific, texts. It's NOT mischievIous. It's not pacific. And it most certainly isn't texties.

Handkerchiefs. Can't be hygenic, can it? Getting a big old used handkerchief out and blowing your nose then putting it back in your pocket? Why would you want to carry that around with you?!

And I realised when writing this that there are loads more but I'll risk coming off a little unhinged so I will stop there!

 

[Litfanman_inGB]

When people link and quote an article to backup their opinion in a debate that doesn't actually support what they're saying. When asked where in said article their point is made, they say you have to read between the lines. Even worse, they tell you to work on reading comprehension, that you're stupid, just don't get it and keep copy/pasting the same quote again and again. Yet they still can't point out to you, in what should be simple layman's terms, where in said article they get their facts from and often get quite irritated when asked to do so.

 

[Simonhepher]

am glad I started this one now!

Have thought of another. Someone I've either never met or only briefly before, abbreviating my name/using a nickname. So over familiarity. If they're a friend of a friend, no problem but the amount of people at work or worse that are trying to sell you something that do it.

Wankers.

Further to the post above mine: people who call me by my full (Sunday) name. Fuck off.

Not to be contrary or anything.....

Is that one only reserved for spanking & general discipline then?

Waiting to cross the street at a light.
I can't stand it when someone steps around me to stand on the road, off the sidewalk. Like they are more important or busier. It's quite rude.

 

[Simplyafemme]

Can u say stuffed

Cupboards or a fridge that are jammed to bursting with food. Can't see anything beyond the front row. Dunno why, just irks, ires and annoys.

Actually, no.

 

[PervyRomantic]

When people clear there throat loudly or spit. Makes me kinda
cringe-inside.

My "right brain" wants to punch your throat.
