    And there is always '' At this moment in time........''

    Or "back in the day".

    When? This morning? This afternoon?

    None of these are sayings but these things are annoying.

    Lazy speech. KFC need to put subtitles on their adverts.
    Bucca of cheeken for narn narny narn......

    The fact that Barry Scott isn't really named Barry Scott.

    People who insist on taking the whole family to the supermarket.

    Pedestrians who don't thank you for not squashing them on crossings.I

    That a portion of soup is half a can. No it's not.

    Hairdressers charging different sums for the same service dependent on their grade. Why do I have to pay double for an executive stylist ( what even is that?) when the end result looks the same as when a junior does it? I

    When I mention that I need to lose weight and people tell me I'm not fat. I weigh 14 stone. I'm obese. We both know you are lying.

    Loads of other stuff......

    Havnt read the whole thread so sorry if this is a duplicate,
    Things that irk me,
    School run mums, who arrive early then stand around gossiping so no other mums can park, JUST NO, drop off your little snot then move away.
    Blue Peter Mums, whatever your child has done theirs has done, better,faster, to gold medal standard, and are in training for the baby olympics. RETCH
    Pajama mums, yeah people might in general say it's ok and cool. but NO "most people" are just being nice, you look lazy and like you just fell out of bed after a heavy night on the sauce.
    Busy work mums, No, putting on your mascara while driving in the que after dropping off is not acceptable, your going to kill someone.
    All the above is why i litterally (when my kids were small) just went, dropped/collected, and came away whilst ignoring the most of them.
    And before i reach for the fire extinguisher, this is a thread about what irks you, these irk me, if they dont irk you then that great and move along....:p:p:p
