Ordering a salad at a hotel. It came with a jacket potato, beans and crisps all touching each other. Not the end of the world but I chose a salad for a reason. (it wasn't on the menu description either)

Going to the cinema and getting people still walking in 10 mins after the film has actually started.

Our neighbour took a parcel in for us last monday and we only got it today! She came round at 7am while oh was getting ready for work. Apparently shes tried every day but we are always out which is a shock to me since that isnt true.
Why not leave us a note saying she had something so we could pop round? Not the first time either. Last year oh brother got his birthday present late because she kept it for 5 days before telling us she had it! |

Last year oh brother got his birthday present late because she kept it for 5 days before telling us she had it! And then, my son was expecting a parcel that ended up being late by about a week, and when he chased it up he found out it had been delivered to a neighbour's house. Not only did the postie not put a card through our door, but the neighbour didn't try us either, and it's rare I'm out. I can understand them waiting for us for a couple of days, but we had no idea it was at their house. There was no rush for it, apart from "I wannit now!" by my son (haha), but it's still annoying. I just don't know what's going on with the postie/couriers lately. |

Not so trivial but my husband and I went to make a will at the Solicitors. They wanted our email address and expected us to fill out a form online to make our Will and send it to them. A fee of £250 was asked of us.
What we wanted instead was to actually sit down with a human being and discuss the Will with them. They made a fuss about this request and having waited ages for an appointment to do just that the girl couldn't answer any of our questions. It's all on our website, she said. We are not stupid people but making a Will is important to us and I would have thought this is a case where human contact was appropriate. |

Phones vibrating. It's just an awful, loud, intrusive, noise, and is much worse than the normal ringtone.
It's even worse if they have the ringtone on (usually at full volume) as well. I can understand it if someone has their phone in the pocket, but not on a desk at work, or at home on the arm of the chair. It's just horrible! I'm writing this on the verge of killing my husband's Galaxy Note. |

People whistling – especially when they're walking around a shop.

People who instead of asking a question give you half a sentence and expect you to come in and finish it off ("And your name is...."etc).
People who ask a question and don't listen to the answer. People who call all abbreviations, whether they are acronyms or not, acronyms. People who spout claptrap in meetings (I went to one last week where somebody presumed to tell the entire group, who don't all work for the same organisation or have the same goals, what our "collective ambition" was). I could go on, but I have a feeling someone might say their annoyance is "people who go on and on"

People who say "Sorry?" when they didn't hear you, or, even worse, "er?". Don't know how to spell that last one but my neighbours grown up son is very guilty of that and she's never put him right. I hate it.

I've said for a long time that we need a sticky thread to settle this once and for all, so many threads have been derailed with this discussion ![]()

There's something irritating about people using 'Mama' and 'Papa'. I have no idea why, but since I was a kid, it's truly nails on a chalk board.
Since my kids are at their grandfather's for the summer, we have a brief video chat on Skype every night or at where they are, day. When it's time to end the chat, they switch off before I could finish my last sentence. Like so, "All right, I'll see you lot tomorrow, so plea- *camera off*...Argh!" I hate that as much as I hate people hanging up their phone without saying goodbye. |
