The word property when its used to describe your own home or one you are looking to buy.

Its used all the time on shows like escape to the country and i hate it. Its the way people refer to the place they live in as their property rather than house or home. It sounds so clinical and emotionless.

I dont mind it in other contexts but it just seems like the place youve lived in for 20 years that youve put time and effort into making it suit you should be recognised as a "home" rather than just a "property".

When you realise you've got an important time-sensitve question to ask an eBay seller, but you've left until late Friday afternoon which means they've probably knocked off for the weekend and won't answer you until some time Monday, darn it.

People who type a lot as one word (alot). I detest it, and recently I've seen a bit typed as one word (abit). Why do people do this?

I really hate to see it! There are no such words as 'alot' or 'abit'.
I don't like it either.... But...... isn't that how language evolves?

It's the spoken language that evolves. Spelling, not so much.

Getting up in the morning and finding the water jug empty. It only takes a couple of minutes to refill and wait for it to filter, but it's discourteous to not refill it if you were the last one to empty it.

People putting the loo roll on the wrong way. It takes a second to fix, but it bugs me.

I've never worn loo roll, how does one put it on?

People who value animals/pets
People who overrate and overvalue humans with an ignorant bias.

To expand on this, People who use the last of anything and don't replace or refill when it is simple to do

Being told that every parent is really just jealous of me as a non parent because I can do whatever I like when I want because I don't have to put myself last and don't have to consider another person.

You were the one who chose to have children!

Perhaps they mean parents have moments where they envy a non-parent, not that their life is defined by jealousy.

Yeah, or those who use all but the last two drops or crumbs and not chuck out the package leaving you to think there's something there.

This was their exact wording

You realize those with kids say these things mainly out of spite and bitter envy because you can stay up late, sleep in, make last minute plans, work late without guilt, and do what you want right?

When you start chatting to someone new online , getting to know them ,finding things in common etc...... and they disappear in mid conversation!!!!!

I just think its bloody rude. You wouldn't do that face to face. At least just say you got to go or something

When there are two bottles of milk in the fridge and my wife opens the second bottle before the first bottle has been used up.

Curiously, both of these were covered to great effect by Arkle Ackinwhacker on Saturday evening.

Feeling Pissed Off. I Am Pissed Off At The Moment And I Don't Know Why I Feel Like This But Its Really Annoying Me.
It's Just A Natural Consequence Of Capitalising Every Word In A Post. Affecting Me Now, Too...

I find that centre-alignment by certain other posters (well, all right, a specific one) also has that effect on me.
ETA: Oops, just seen posts 80 & 87. So I'm not alone!

Finally, insertion of the word "on" after "hate" or "hating" to make it sound more American. I really hate on that.

As someone who is unemployed at the moment, I really hate it when people on Facebook say "OMG ! It's Monday already and I have to go to work".
If they were on the dole, then they WOULD have something to complain about.
When they put '' after their status, it annoys me even more.

Speaking of this, people on FB when all they do is moan about their job. At least they have one, which is more than a lot of people
My flatmate who seems to want to give me crap "advice" when he is not in a position to give it, and just being patronising/annoying about small things* (which I wouldnt otherwise give a toss about) which doesnt help me with my anxiety

*I do realise the irony there

eBay sellers who send out their fragile stuff in obviously unsuitable packaging.

Just received a comic, described as New Mint, turned up all crinkled at the bottom cos he sent it unbagged and unboarded and used a single sheet of "protective" cardboard that was too darn short for the item, AND used a simple envelope too.

I could never be jealous of childless people no matter how much freedom they have, I adore my kids and any sacrifices we've made to raise them were well worth it.
