Confession: I am a pretty irritable and impatient person. It's funny because even though I like to think I'm pretty chilled out and calm about life in general I definitely have things that I get abnormally irritated by. H also says I have a time limit on my patience - if he starts to exceed it I will just take over. I say if you want a job done well, do it yourself.
Here are just a few of the things that wind me up:
1. Chewing with your mouth open. It's disgusting, it makes you look ugly, just stop.
2. Talking loudly on the phone when on a train. I don't care that "what Cheryl said to Paul was so f**cking amazing babe", I don't know you, I don't want to know your business, Shut Up.
3. Vague Facebook status updates oh just spit it out or shut up
4. Friends who don't put kisses at the end of texts. A text with no xxx at the end, is a text with no soul.
5. LOL, if i think what you say is funny I may just laugh out loud but please don't ever tell me too.
6. And whilst we are at it ROLF, WTF, YOLO etc these are not cute, they are not clever they are just annoying, lest we forget! And don't even get me started to people who actually say it as well as write it
7. People singing in American accents when they are British oh how I roll my eyes at this
8. Not sealing food up properly so it goes stale H is THE WORST at doing this - it drives me bananas
9. Background noise when I'm trying to concentrate When I am trying to watch something/ concentrate on cooking etc and I can hear someones TV or people walking about in the flat upstairs I just can't cope with it. I like peace and quiet but so rarely get to experience it
10. Selfishness I've just spent three and a half hours listening to you talk about your boyfriend's sister who just bought a puppy, after cooking you dinner and sharing my wine with you; you could at least ask me how my lunch was.
Lets be honest, now I've started I could quite easily continue.......
What are your pet peeves?
I am so with you lady!!! LOL is the worst, just say haha, you're not a tween!
ReplyDeleteAnd selfishness, ugh, the worst too. I've already listened to your problems 1000000x and you still complain and don't listen. Not even going to try to talk about my life anymore.
I know, so incredibly frustrating! It's like they actually couldn't care less about what you actually have to say
DeleteErgh I hate YOLO! It's the worst when people actually use it in sentences as well as writing! Number three really annoys me too - then loads of people comment 'What's wrong?' etc, basically often they just want attention in my opinion - or is that a bit harsh!?

I know I just have to stare at them as if to say - did you actually just say that?! Its not even ironic! I think more honest than harsh!
DeleteFacebook can be ridiculous sometimes lol!! My hubby NEVER screws on lids all the way so the next to use it always spills the contents everywhere!!!
ReplyDeleteAhh men are annoying sometimes aren't they?!
DeleteI take public transit a few days a week and I haaate when people talk loudly on their phones! I don't want to listen but when they're talking that loudly I can't concentrate on anything else. Doesn't help my nosiness ;) & I so agree with "LOL". I can't stand lol. Ew, I hated even typing that. I also find that when my friends use it they use to be like condescending. Like it's a smug little laugh they're doing in response to something I've said. No thanks.
ReplyDeletePs. I nominated you for a blog award :)

Talking loudly on phones just winds me up so much! It's incredibly frustrating and super annoying!
Deletei can't even with the facebook statuses. i do not get it i really don't. in a perfect world i would just get to say what i'm thinking each and every time... but then i'd have no friends. ;)
ReplyDeleteHaha so very true!
DeleteI hate YOLO so much.
ReplyDeleteYup I hate it too! I promise never to use it on this blog. ever.
DeleteI hate the vague updates and compliment-fishing: "I totally just went to the store like this, no make-up, old t-shirt, looking hideous!!!". Also, the women who swear they are happy being single, but post a glamorous selfie or bikini shot every day, so they can get a bunch of comments about how pretty they are.
