I should have been more clear. I don’t even like the D, S or H. I want it spelled out!
Ah, I see. But then you also have to say the “my” before it. I do like the initials. Just not the D.
I can’t be bothered to spell out daughter.
I feel like I am being disrespectful to my husband and daughters by not referring to them as such.
I feel like I’m part of the in crowd when I use the initials.
I dislike it immensely when people talk about their parents and use their title/ name that person calls them as though it’s their name: “Mom is coming here soon” “Dad is going on vacation”. Instead of “My mom” or “” My dad” in these sentences.
Unless you are talking to a sibling or your other parent it’s just so annoying to me. I told my kids to never ever do that except in those circumstances. They told me not to worry “ it’s something only old people do”. Like their father. Lol.
I hate it when someone asks for available dates to (go to lunch, out to dinner, etc.) and after giving them several dates, they respond with “they will get back to me.” So I’m supposed to keep all those dates open while they decide which one they want to pick? Drives me crazy.
Another annoyance is when someone emails or texts and says “call me”. Um, why don’t they just call me in the first place? The phone does work in 2 directions!
As for the abbreviations here, they are so ingrained and so much easier than typing the whole word, its not gonna change!
I also abhor lateness. I find it rude to keep others waiting. Don’t text me five minutes before that you are running late because I’m already there waiting 110% of the time.
Referring to invitations as “invites” drives me crazy.
Similarly, when I lived in Mormon country I was annoyed by the term they use for the piece of paper that entitles the bearer to enter a Mormon temple. It’s officially called a “temple recommend”, but I think it should be called a “recommendation”.
Another Mormon thing that bugs me: they wear “CTR rings”, where CTR stands for “choose the right”, to which I ask: choose the right what? Or why not simply “choose right”?
Lots of little things, but a daily one is NBC Nightly News while they give their preview snippets at the beginning of the news. They are speaking over thump thump thump background music. It hurts my ears so much!
I can’t be the only one this annoys. The result is I mute this portion. Probably not the reaction they are seeking.
"Um, why don’t they just call me in the first place? " - Actually I think it is rather considerate when somebody texts first. I’m often working or driving, making it hard to answer my cellphone. Text messages are so much easier to check than voicemail. It’s nice to call back at my convenience.
That reminds me…voicemail! I HATE voicemail. My Iphone 8 stops 8 seconds in, pauses for a long time, then resumes. Apple can’t fix it for longer than a month at a time and the nearest store is 1.5 hours away. Please, please just text rather than leave a voicemail. I don’t want voicemail even if it does work correctly 
Oddly specific, but I hate when our TV is on a volume louder than 10. I can tell every time someone raises it - even just to 11.
10 is loud enough to hear it clearly, but also be able to have a conversation at the same time without fighting with the sound coming from the TV.
If I can’t answer I’ll get the VM at my convenience. I can answer the call on my car, but can’t answer or read a text. If you have something to say, say it in the VM or text or email. If you are just going to ask me to call you, that’s rude. Just call me!
My mil always calls my cell phone, then leaves a message to call her. Umm, I know you called, why did you leave me a message that I now have to listen to and delete.
Why won’t my husband call his mom regularly?Why doesn’t she call his cell phone? My mom has never once called him.
@sryrstress i would delete your voicemail. I’m positive that half of the people I know don’t even have their voicemail set up. Or change the message to this doesn’t work, text me instead. No time for messages.
My husband does tons of annoying things. But one he will not change is leaving his crap out and never putting it away. Instead complaining about said things once I put them away. I once put his packages and stuff on the dining room table, it sat there for a year. Now he puts it on his desk and who knows how he can do anything, since it’s so cluttered with his crap lol!
@deb922, I think we’re married to the same man. I collect the mail and throw out the junk as soon as it’s in the house, but I put his mail at his place on the counter. After a week of it just sitting there, I move it to his chair in the office. I have no idea what happens to it then, but from the look of his desk, I suspect it’s in there someplace . . .
Some of my husband’s family don’t understand that we eliminated our land line. They insist on calling my cell phone to reach my husband despite being told a million times to call his number. My phone equals the “house phone” because I’m the woman. Grrrrrr.
My kids don’t want me to leave a message if I call. They say they’ll see I called and will call back. Problem is, by the time they call back, I’ve forgotten why I called!!
Leaving a message to say “call me” is as useless as a text or email that says it. A little info about the reason for the call is helpful. If its just a social call. thats helpful to know too.
@FlyMeToTheMoon - ditto about the “give me several dates and I’ll get back to you. My feeling is, I don’t hold the dates open for a protracted period of time. They are available today. Might not be on a few days if I don’t hear back from them. Had that happen recently with a specific date. Never heard back, so made other plans as the date was fast approaching. Then, 2 or 3 weeks later I got a “we’re available” message from them (the first couple) but by then we’d made other plans.
