Unreasonably annoying things

I'd just chuck it back over!

I hate it when my H turns the power button off on the washing machine. I never think to check it, just put my washing in and turn the knob. I come back an hour or so later expecting to have nice clean washing and it's not. Bloody annoying. Please reassure me... Nobody else turns their washing machines off do you??

I have to say that it would really annoy me too!

Mine is similar to yours, litter. I cant stand it. We've got a large grass area at the end of our street where kids often kick a ball around. Every so often an entire bin bag of rubbish gets dumped there. Its ripped open and rubbish is strewn everywhere! It looks horrible and I'm sure it probably smells too. We also have a small public bin a little further up the street that is always overflowing! I keep meaning to whinge to the council but chances are the people dumping will be quicker than the council reacting.

H tidying my things away. I have replaced my nice moisturiser three times since jan because I have no idea where he puts them. Wen we eventually move to a house I'll find a stack of lost beauty items when we are packing.

HT - I turn my washing machine off at the plug too sorry... Its because the switch is on the other side of the room along with; hob, hoover (we have rechargeable dyson thing) and cooker hood and I like all the switched in the off position if they're not being used ? I can imagine it would get frustrating for you though. Me and H work by the same rules, switch-wise so its ok.

McSquirts that is not what I wanted to hear! I wouldn't mind but he never uses the bloody washing machine!!!!

My OH turns everything off at the plug, too, which is only slightly annoying. It's just that I never expect things to be off. The annoying one is the kettle, when in the morning that extra 3 minutes wasted means I have to rush to the train station!

OH wouldn't let me! He went and tidied it away instead of letting me be all passive-agressive about it, wich also unreasonably annoyed me.

HT i'm sorry but my oh informs that washing machines and tumble driers are the worst for starting fires if left on ? that said we dont switch off at the plug just at the power button

Spat out toothpaste remnants left in the sink annoy me so much! I just dont get it - it's blue ffs!

I switch everything off, and it really winds me up when H leaves things switched on.

In my defence, I became OCD about it when my son was little, and I had a rapid heat hob. Was worried he'd turn the cooker on, and burn his hands.

I read that as 'nob'

It does make some kind of sense to switch some things off such as a hob or oven... but I have never heard of a washing machine starting a fire!

Hmmmm I think I need to find something else to moan about then. I shall have a think...

Someone has a one track mind... ?

This - and leaving the a little bit of toothpaste around the rim so it goes all hard and has to virtually be chiseled off!

I hate it when people butter their toast, and leave toast bits in the margarine tub...or put the left over marg in the tub. Grim.

This, it makes me feel ?

I think it was because I had just replied to Panj's 'where was yours' thread ?

When H cuts a cheese pizza or toastie and leaves the melted-cheese encrusted knife hidden behind the coffee thing until the melted cheese turns into a cement-like substance.

Oh loads. I can sympathise with parying next door nighbous.. we call our ravey mcraverson. She is about 40, recently divorced, dresses like Jordan and has a party most weekends with 90's house blaring out. They all do some bizzarre dance where they bang their high heels really loudly on the wooden floor. I have been and knocked in my hot pink dressing gown at 4am like a raving sleep deprived loony on more than one accasion. Grr.

Other things. H leaving his shoes in the hall for me to fall over, right next to the shoe cupboard. H's incapacity to close any cupboard,drawer, wardrobe or door after use.. grr. We have a square bowl on the coffee table which has all the remote controls neatly lined up, I think once in 2009 there were a few pound coins kept at the bottom of it. Every single morning before he leves H checks the bottom of this bowl for change (THERES NEVER ANY THERE) and doesnt put the remotes back. Next doors yappity little dog barking every morning at 6am. The Simpsons. I cant bear The Simpsons.

HT we don't switch ours off at the plug - you'd have to pull the machine away from the wall to reach it. Not rinsing electric toothbrush handles drives me insane. It all adds up on the base of the charger and is foul. OH never cleans his. Next door smoke loads and if they have a window open you can smell it in our garden. Sometimes it wafts into our bedroom. Makes me feel sick.

Finished loo rolls. There are FIVE of us in this house, all five of us are perfectly capable of picking it up and putting it in the recycler. Who always does it? Me.

It winds me up no end!! I make a fuss about it every time I do it and it just falls on deaf ears.

I can feel myself getting het up about it just typing it ?

This reminded me of something but I think I had good reason to be annoyed! We used to live in a flat on the ground floor and upstairs had not long moved in they were very friendly and asked if we didn't mind them having a party we said it was fine as it was a one off and they turned the music off about midnight. Well the next morning I opened the front door to a huge pile of vomit on the door step! ? It was disgusting we couldn't get out the door unless we stood in it! The steps to upstairs are outside so someone had obviously come out and leaned over the barrier to do 'it' I went mad and banged on the door and when no one answered I put a note through to say come and clean it up. They did actually come and scrub the path and were mortified but to make up for it gave us a bottle of red wine -which was obviusly what the 'vomiter' had been drinking...yuck

I am quite an angry person anyway, but the thing that springs to mind is about a layby that is next to our house.

We have a long drive which can fit 2 cars on, one behind the other. Because of our work patterns, Mr R will always get home to put his car on the drive first, but will usually need to get his car off the drive before i get mine off the drive, so to save blocking him in and wasting time moving cars every morning, I park in the layby next to our drive. It's not our allocated layby, its for the whole road. So my unreasonable rage comes when someone else parks in the layby. I know its not my layby, but the person who parks in it lives about 12 houses down from us, WHATS THE POINT?! GET OUT! It absolutely ruins my evening for a good half an hour when I get home and that pr*ck is parked in the layby. I know its unreasonable. Mr R thinks I'm an idiot for getting so wound up.

OH taking his socks off in bed and leaving them under the duvet.

Women who wear bras with strapless/halter neck tops - I almost want to walk up to them with a strapless bra and ask them why they think they were invented.

When people write "brought" on here when they mean "bought". Drives me nuts.

OMG yes! I live with 2 boys and they both use the last of it and leave the empty roll on the thing!!! ARRRGGGHHHH

Bad grammar is one of mine. I hate seeing the incorrect use of the apostrophe S. eg, photo's, menu's etc and another thing I've noticed is people writing should of or would of instead of 'should have' or 'would have'. Wtf?! Grrr!

Sorry, I turn mine off...

Oh dear I've just realised how much I get annoyed by small things cos I could name pretty much everything on this list! The toast crumbs in the marg, the loo rolls, the grammar (I correct it even in magazines) and the bras. I am a serious plug switcher offer - any plug I see needs to be turned off at the socket- even if I'm in someone's house or working in a new school I switch off the sockets. ?

Another one is thin leggings being worn as trousers when you can see pants through them- it gets me unreasonably angry!!!

I turn most things off at the plug - Cooker, kettle, lamps, chargers etc. My bestie has it drummed into me and if I forget, she does it for me! Washing machine gets turned off at the power button, not the plug though. I hate having the green light on when it's on "standby".

Stuff that annoys me - Cats and dogs licking themselves.. Ugh the noise is horrendous!!

I do try to be as subtle as possible when switching them off.

Another is remote playing- whenever I go home to my mum and stepdad he can't just let whatever program is on just play - he's got to fiddle with the volume, the screen size, the channel etc etc grrrrr

My neighbour drops their cigarette butts over my garden fence. Drives me INSANE! ? I save them up and then post them through their letterbox! Needless to say we don't get along with them!

And this! HATE THIS! OH does this, and my brother did when I lived at home.
