I've said it before and I'll say it again (cos it really does annoy me!!) Noisy eating or people eating with their mouth open.... I make me physically angry lol like this ----->

LOL JEN i slurp my tea - it infuriates people ha ha ha!!!

Oh see that falls into the same catergory

Sorry  I have encouraged our kids o slurp then go "aaahhhh" LOL

 

Tea tasters in the industry slurp the tea to check the flavour of the leaves etc,mind they spit it out too.

I REFUSE to teach our kids to spit their tea

How dare you !!!

 

bad manners and eating and drinking as above and people that try and finish your sentences for you  .... really gets up my nose  

Constant sniffing

Spitting in the street

People who seem to end every sentence as if it's a question

All of the above ^^^^.

 

Mrs H, once upon a time, I might have been guilty of finishing other people's sentences, or prompting them when they were searching for a word.

However, ever since the menopause, I can hardly remember what I want to say, never mind guessing what someone else is going to say.

 

Lol yogi

ROFL I so recognise that Yogi

I've lots of pet hates, but people smoking fags near me really annoys me

 

One of the many downsides of the aging process.

I hate the smell of cigarettes too Sweet, it gives me a headache. Mr Baz used to smoke but gave up years ago , however I realize now that, although I didn't smoke , I must have gone to work smelling like an ashtray every day

 

 

OMG, the last time a thread like this was started I think I made a list of about 40 items. Wish I could find it as it would save me loads of time!

 

Noisy eaters and people who slurp, makes me feel sick

 

People who go outside in PJs and slippers, I don't care if you're just going to the corner shop for milk. It takes what, 30 seconds to put on jeans/trackie bottoms and trainers and gives the impression you're not a complete slob

 

People who HAVE to walk around when on their mobile. I'm not sure if they take 'mobile phone' too literally or what, but I'm often standing at the bus stop and people are wandering around in circles while talking on their phone. Stop it you mentalists!! My boyfriend does it, he even wanders around the flat when he's on the phone, I swear I'm going to end up [punching him in the face

the only thing I hate that I cannot change, nor tolerate (no matter how much it would be in my interest to)..   is someone scraping their fork on their teeth as they eat.

 

It makes me feel physically sick.

 

All my lot would do it if I didn't kick up such a fuss when they do it...    it only takes once accidental "clink" and I am on standby...   if the following forkful makes contact with teeth I go mental!

 

I have been known to storm out of the house over it 

 

 

I don't choose to not tolerate it though..   its my equivalent to people's hatred of nails scraping down a blackboard, or cotton wool being pulled apart etc!

 

 

 

Oh...  that reminds me..    there is one other thing..   FEET!    splaying of toes..  picking at your feet, TOUCHING ME WITH YOUR FEET!!!!     

 

I have the opposite of a foot fetish 

I don't like that trend thats come over from America of people crying at the drop of a hat over nowt. Where they're literally squeezing out the tears and going all wibbly voiced... like its expected.

 

They need a good shake 

Its ok to go & deal with chickens in your PJ bottoms though isn't it?     I do dress them up with either wellies or, if its dry, Uggs 

OMG that irritates the hell out of me too - they squish a gnat accidentally and they start crying 

 

• I dislike people speaking with their mouths open while eating
• using a fork like a shovel to get more food in
• putting knives in mouths
• not using a hankie when you sneeze or cough
• Loud mobile phone users on buses - I already know you're on a bus, you don't have to shout to let other people know it 
• having my ankles bashed by buggies or shopping trollies

 

there's more so I'll probably be back later 

 

B shares your aversion to cutlery biting btw... he gets stabby if I accidentally do it

I quite like listening in to their conversations I struck gold one day when a girl was dumping her useless bf... I was gutted when I got to my stop

  something like that is great, it's the eejits that shout 'ello I'm on the buzz - yeah just sat dowun.  I thought I'd ring and see how yow are.  Nah nothing much - just gooing shopping.  I'm on the number 65 now just 5 minutes out from towun'

 

all said in a thick Brummie accent 

Hahaha Pengy i could hear the Brummie tones as i was reading that!

  of course you know I love Brum and it's people - I live amongst them cos I love them 

People standing in shop queues for a while, then somehow realise they have to pay......then the purse search goes on...and on...

Dog owners not picking up dog poo 

Yeh me too 

Talking to me when i'm on the phone.

 

How can i have TWO conversations!!!!

 

I'M ON THE PHONE  - CAN'T YOU WAIT !!!!

Me too because i grew up there

Velvet. Such an ugly and uncomfortable fabric to wear.

Radio adverts, they do my head in...awful over acting and people doing stupid voices.

Oh noooo, can't allow that in room 101. I'd love to drape myself in it and stroke it incessantly

 

i agree with everything else though, and may I add people who cough without covering their mouth, especially when they then go on to touch doorhandles, keyboards etc, which I also might have to touch

People who stop in a shop doorway to see to their bags when I'm following them 

Controversial one this . . .

Americans - there I sed it !!

I chat to many on skype and invariably they haven't gotta clue about most things outside the US but expect the rest of us to fully understand their culture.

Point in case:

Me, "Where are you from?"

Yankie, "CA"

Me, "Where?"

Yankie, "California"

See wot i mean.

 

Another classic from yesterday:

Yankie, "So how many countries are in England?"

Me, "England IS a country!!! THere can't be countries inside other countries ... well, unless its America inside Iraq"

Which i thought was the funniest thing i have sed in a long, long time

 

So ... Americans!

I didn't know skype was used for speaking to strangers. Always thought it was for families and friends to use video calls.

 

Yes, what you said was funny, almost as hilarious as your Rudolf Hess joke. Nothing says funny like a dead Nazi.

You can keep it Rexi. Ghastly material. Even used as drapes it makes a window ugly.

Seen as though Sainton has provided me with an example and jogged my memory about it.... strange abbreviated text speak when not used in texts. People do it all the time on Facebook and it drives me mad, things like: wiv instead if with, dat instead of that, wot instead of what. Do people not realise in each case they have only saved one letter from typing out the actual word?! In any case, Facebook, email, forums etc don't have a word limit and it makes them look illiterate
