Stupid little things that bug you

People who eat chocolate bars with the wrapper still on and just a little bit of the bar poking out of the top, pushing the bar up after every bite making a crumpling rustling sound all while munching away.

There used to be a bloke at work who did that with bananas.

I wanted to slit his throat.
 
1.People who start eating a meal, before everyone else at the table has been served.
2.People who try and enter a lift, whilst you are trying to exit.
I learned how much this can annoy people the hardest way.

My mum is half Irish and the ferocity of her tempers was matched only by the inventiveness of her punishments (if you told her you were bored too many times during the school holidays, she'd empty every single thing - bedding, clothes, toys, curtains - into a pile in the middle of your bedroom floor and tell you that the clean up would keep you entertained for a few hours).

I travelled as an 18/19 year old for Christmas to her home in North Wales. She had been as busy as fuck all morning preparing Christmas dinner and had served mine, my Dad's, both my sisters' and a brother-in-law's. She insisted on her own being piping hot so had gone to give it a quick minute in the microwave. Upon her return, we'd all started. I'm a fast eater so was almost half done.

She went nuclear. "You greedy, ungrateful, ill-mannered shower of bastards! All fucking morning I've been in there and you lot can't wait a fucking minute to start shovelling your faces. Fuck it! I'm not eating it now and I hope you all fucking choke on it!"

She'd calmed down by New Year's Eve.

Did anyone dare say “what’s for pudding?”!

Bit of a headcase then?

Lucky she's only half Irish. My mates Mum was 100% Irish and used to be too pissed to cook Christmas dinner. To be fair she was often also pregnant and someone else should have been cooking for her.

Unpredictable I'd say which is a tactic I try to adapt with my kids.

Don't get me wrong, we grew up with a quality mum who would always have our backs and would do whatever she could for us. The randomness of her outbursts were what made them effective.

When I came home with my GCSE results, she was waiting in the kitchen.

"I got 2 D's and failed the rest Mum."

"Well don't worry son, you tried your best and that's all I ask. You're a bright lad and won't have any problem getting a job."

"I'm joking, I got 4 B's and 5 C's."

"Well, you threw your education away acting the class clown. More important to show off to your mates rather than do your work, that's always been your problem."

People who however old they are, and after introducing themselves, then immediately ask which school you went to. They invariably went to some minor public school.
