Name the little things that are irritating you

My co-worker who was loud in the office is even louder on conference calls - it's like she is screaming and screeching into the phone. It hurts my head and my ears - I so badly want to tell her to use her inside voice..

My husband has house slippers that make a loud irritating shuffling sound.
He cannot move things in the kitchen without banging a pot or pan all the time.
He randomly coughs throughout the day. He always has. But now I hate it and my spidey senses are heightened to hear any coughs. He used to cough and just barely move his hand to cover his mouth (gross) but still least now he coughs into his elbow. Still irritating AF.

We call these "dad noises" at our house. DH does the same thing. I usually do something passive aggressive, like getting silently up from the couch and looking pointedly at him while I do it, and he cuts it out for 30 minutes or so. 

My internet stalling

My dog has decided to take up scratching or digging at things and I don’t know why. I can’t leave anything on the floor or he will paw it all over - maybe he’s just tired of me being home & messy

The aspca commercials every other minute. I’m tapped out on giving money right now so stop torturing me with these dying dogs - not to mention wouldn’t it have been better to treat the dogs before setting up to film them being abused? If I had any extra money I wouldn’t be sending it to you.

My neighbor & The smoke in the foyer- they aren’t supposed to be smoking in the common area. I can’t deal with it. There isn’t any other way in & out of my apartment and I tired of my Bobby’s reaction to the smoke. ( coughing, throat tightening etc )

My vacuum is slightly broken making it difficult to use

Back up alarms I hear them 24 hours now delivery trucks during the day road construction at night I can’t deal any more.

Myself - I’m tired of being this irritable at everything

The things that irritate me now are the same things that irritated me before, which is that every time I turn around one of two things is happening in my house. Either my DD is leaving a room with every freaking light left on, or my DH is walking away from the kitchen cabinets with the doors hanging wide open.       What the hell, people? I swear, I just go around the house turning off lights and closing cabinet doors all.freaking.day. and I feel like I’m turning into both my mom and my dad, LOL. So annoying.

My complaint is the same one I've always had ... why cat, do you have to vomit at least once a day           I'm tired of cleaning it up ... especially off the carpet   

Oh, and I'm also tired of seeing my ex over here as often as I do ... I'll be glad when he's moved all of his stuff out    

No that isn't a little thing at all! For man and poor you - very stressful for you both 

Now THIS would make me very happy, lol!

My irritations are minor as I do realize I am incredibly blessed. More than anything I am happy that everyone is healthy and we have shelter and food.

However, I am getting cooking fatigue from trying to plan out and prepare all the meals and damn these people go through a lot of dishes. The dishwasher runs almost daily, which in itself is fine, but someone has to empty it.

My husband doesn't seem to know how to do anything involving water without getting puddles all over the floor. He washes his hands and it looks like there's been a tsunami I told him there was water all over the kitchen floor and he took his sock off to dry it up I didn't even have words for that. 

Oh I so get that! My mum used to shout “Do you think I’m made of electricity?" when I left lights on all over the house.   I’ve used it a couple of times on my kids, but they are generally pretty good at turning off lights. Now computers are another thing. There are two gaming PCs here, and they’re on pretty much the whole time the kids are awake. Phones and iPads are always on the charger. I am going to save so much money when they finally move out! 

I plan dinner, go pick it up, and cook it. The least people in my house could do is 1) add things to the list that we are running out of (ketchup) and put dinner stuff away (mayonnaise). Guess what, our next grocery pick up is in a week, I guess we're not going to use condiments for the next six days.

Also, I finally put some stuff to give away on a Facebook site because DH was complaining I hadn't done it yet and need to check every so often in case anyone has any questions. When day does DH decide to take the computer apart (I don't have Facebook on my phone) AND spend 4 hours playing a stupid game? The same day he watches me list the stuff. Grrr.

And finally, every time I get near the computer I have either DH or one of my four kids standing next to me staring at the screen asking what I'm looking at and commenting and/or insisting they aren't reading my emails. I might have started to snap at anyone who gets within 5 feet because it's driving me insane. It's been 61 days of staying at home, and 61 days since I had any time completely by myself. I might be a little edgy...

There are five of us on my work team and we have meetings two times a month. Things that already bothered me in the past are bothering me even more over zoom. Two of the teammates are older and really struggle with technology. One doesn't even really try to learn new things. She still doesn't know how to start a zoom meeting on her own. The other seems like she tries but always ends up blaming the phone/computer/her wifi for her problems. Every. single. time we meet she spends at least 15 min complaining about how she can't get things to work. Add in the different personalities and people talking over each other, which is annoying in person but over zoom is especially frustrating. I feel like I can't get a word in at all because some of them just keep talking and talking unless someone does interrupt.

At home, DH's loud breathing is really annoying. I am not sure what happened but I just started noticing it over the last year. Also, my youngest wants me to sit by him and be touching him the whole time we are doing distance learning. Sometimes I am calm but yesterday I was more irritable and just needed to get some other things done. I didn't get cranky with him but inside I was frustrated.

We also have the issue of people leaving the lights on and cabinet doors open. I’m sick of doing everything with food—planning meals, shipping, putting food away, cooking, cleaning up.

Why can't my dh pick up his feet when he walks? When he wears slippers he shuffles through the kitchen making a ton of noise. I have fantasies of strangling him with those slippers He also reads out loud when looking at his computer, sort of under his breath. Again, more thoughts of strangulation. I have been stuck at home nearly 6 months and my patience is wearing thin. Other than that, he's great, so I refrain. I am just plain tired of being home. Thankfully I am kind of a home body. The only times I have been out are to the doctor.
