What things get your goat?

Sandy_123

What things do you hate in life? What really annoys you.

I hate the smell of cooked food last lingers up to half an hour after its cooked.  Can't stand it, it's off putting.

            I dislike quite a few things, no manners for example   but the only thing I 'hate' is drink drivers, they should be sentenced to life in prison with no parole...rant over 

THE_DUDE

I second that @Sandy_123. I hate that lingering smell. 

Car horns really annoy me. Especially at night.

I dislike loud talkers. Why do folk have to chat so loudly when their stood close to each other. I don’t know if it’s my autistic trate  but I literally hold my hands on my head. I truly can’t bare it. 

On a similar note.

People who use their phone on loudspeaker mode in a public place. Bonus chav points if they hold it horizontally just in front of their face.

If I wasn't so shy, I would go up to them and chip in to their conversation, because they obviously want it to be a public conversation and are inviting others to join in.

WhatThe

I sometimes have to change buses if changing seats isn't enough distance from mobile phone users. I stare and do sometimes join in which is when I know it's time to get off! People see my headphones and assume I can't hear. It's the bain of my life so I walk a lot.

(plus the yappy dogs that every other person in my neighbourhood acquired in lockdown )

It's more that it saddens me than annoys me, but sometimes the lack of empathy people can show for those who aren't as well off as them. The lack of understanding I've seen from people when talking about disabled people, or homeless people, or even just people who are poorer than them.

Also mashed potato

What gets on my nerves also is the man across the road, when he's fixing his car, he's revving it lots then he's zooming and stopping up the street to test his breaks.

There's a lot wrong @woodbine food banks, people sitting cold In their homes or hungry, costs of everything, yet billions going to help Ukraine and the list goes on. 

Sandy_123

I don't know we've already given a lot of  support, Ukraine is not nato yet. Russia would of won ages ago without the support from a lot of countries. 
Which itself could trigger a war. 
If they have all these funds why are people so hard up. People working full time supported by benefits. Nurses drs etc striking for better pay, conditions. Cost of living forcing people to be cold, hungry and homeless. The list is too long to mention. The support should be evened out across the board.

Sandy_123

@vikingqueen I think the sentences should be longer for deaths caused by drink drivers

@THE_DUDE car horns are a nuisance at night.
@ada I talk loud sometimes because I've always had to communicate with people who had hearing difficulties
Lol @66Mustang it can be annoying too

The petty things that really shouldn't wind me up as they do ... but really boil my blood

1.  Tipping things down the side of the washing up bowl ... especially when it's empty
2.  Leaving a straggly bit on the kitchen roll ... if you can rip off 11 inches cleanly at least get rid of that lil flappy bit 

People who push out at junctions and roundabouts ... wait patiently like everyone else is and I'll let you in.
If not, I'm happy to sit there blocking you for a couple of minutes 

More seriously, bullies, bad manners and then the ludicrous sentences of community service for having child pornography ... facilitate the suffering and you should do the time

Politicians creaming off while people go homeless, cold and hungry

Actually loads more but I'm realising my wife is right ... I am a grumpy oldish man 

Sandy_123

Hi @WelshBlue it's nice to see you posting again, lots of those you listed annoy me too especially the foil same with cling film

WhatThe

PLUS people who know they are hard of hearing but do nothing about it!

Rosie_Scope

Lots of very good points made so farm but for me, it's impatient drivers. Grrr. 

And people listening to loud music without headphones on busy public transport. Double grrr. 

Autism_at_40

I was thinking of setting up a thread similar to this earlier today, I was going to call it "what really grinds your gears" lol.

I don't like it when people leave the gate open and I can hear it creaking and slamming in the wind...

JessieJ

Noisy neighbours...

People that don't control their dogs...

Boy racers with cars that high rev, pop & bang!

Useless management...

Rip off prices...

Not being able to afford heating...

Oh, far to many to list, I'm just a grumpy old woman!

WhatThe

When, like tonight, I sit down at 7.30 to watch EastEnders and find the football on instead   

Sandy_123

Love that title @JessieJ you've a great sense of humour. 
I hate it when friend's let you down at last minute a lot of the times and think it's OK. Saying that there's usually a good reason. Also family who book to go away then only ask you as an after thought

Thanks @Sandy_123 ... hoping to be a more regular poster again after recovering from my accident/ stupidity ... and then Covid kicking my butt from New Years 'til now

Another big bug bear ... seeing men use supermarket toilets, not wash their hands and then handle produce ... I'm not adverse to shaming them, much to my wife's stop it 

Sandy_123

Sorry you've had a fall and covid, hopefully on the mend now 

Urgh that's gross hence wash your fruit n veg
