Irrational annoyances...

[splash30]

What are your irrational annoyances? They have no real impact but just get your goat...
Mine is mud on stable rugs, cant stand it and it has to be removed.
Another one is knots on haynets not pulled to the rings so making it difficult to get undone.

 

[The Xmas Furry]

People who ask me for advice, give the impression they might agree, then do something completely different, bordering (Imho) on ridiculous or even dangerous.
Just.dont.ask.again.please...

OP, how the heck do you get mud on a stable rug?

 

[luckyoldme]

Mine is driving related.
When I'm in the truck and I'm sat behind a car. I pull out to overtake and the driver realise s there's a truck overtaking them and puts the foot down .

Oh this one - usually an Eddie Stobart driver realising he’s about to be overtaken by a woman driving a bus

 

[Archangel]

People.

That's not irrational.

I’m totally with you with the haynet knots. Plus those who don’t cut bale string at the knot.....annoying! Lol

Have you noticed....people who don’t drive slam car doors! Pet hate of mine.

 

[hollyandivy123]

People leaving rubbish in my car. ...ok it's got hay, bit of mud in it on it.....etc but it does not have your twix wrapper in it!

This exactly. Plus people who ask for my opinion, for example 'is my horse overweight?' and then when I give my opinion telling me every reason why I am incorrect and their horse is fine - just makes me want to say 'then why did you ask?'

I have mine on livery and when they are turning out, and changing rugs the grooms muddy feet can catch the rugs, drives me insane but totally irrational ?

 

[windand rain]

wrapping up lead ropes drives me nuts, Haynets not pulled to the loops so the join isnt against the hay and the seemingly impossible task of moving the strip grazing without bending the end posts to 90 degrees why oh why can no one else move the end of the fence

But you can't always find the knot to cut next to it it was @The Fuzzy Furry who taught me this but I can never find the damn knots and now I know that's a sensible thing to do, it really annoys me! #firstworldproblem

Read that wrong

 

[ownedbyaconnie]

Omg I thought the thing with haynets and knots was just me!!!!!!

Mine is my sharer taking my saddle pad off my saddle and using her own (which is absolutely fine) but then not reattaching mine when she’s done. So every. Single. Time. I have to reattach it. I was always taught to leave something as I found it so I just find it so irritating!

Sorry! ???
Just wriggle your fingers along..... I have been known to cut 2 or 3 bales at same time when wearing my head torch ?

Haynets do annoy me if not tied correctly, turnout rugs put on the stable rug rack is annoying as well it makes them dirty. So yes agree with both of those.

Dirty feed and water buckets make me cringe, horses with eye bogies I hate to see them with goey crusty eyes it must feel horrible.

 

[The Bouncing Bog Trotter]

Cheek/head pieces curling up and distancing themselves from their keepers, dirty buckets dipped into the clean water tank, "fur babies"......

 

[SpeedyPony]

Water creeping under collar and cuffs of waterproofs. Somehow more miserable than being wet all over.
Blunt penknives.

 

[Esmae]

Stuff not being in it's rightful place so that when you need it you need to go searching. Don't put it down, put it away!

 

[BBP]

The wheelbarrow or poo pickers being left with muck in them. This wouldn’t be wildly irrational except usually it is me that has left it that way (only two of us up there), so I get irrationally annoyed at something I did myself.

Old boss used to drive me nuts. She would see a horse poo while tied up, get the poo picker and pick up the poo. But instead of walking the couple of meters to Chuck it on muck heap she would then just put it to the side so I could empty it!

 

[windand rain]

Not poo picking the school after use. Going to competition centres that dont empty poo skips used for cleaning the school. Nothing more annoying than overflowing poo skips dumped at the gate. If you want me to poo pick your school leave a wheelbarrow so I can go to the heap if it is nearly full

 

[FFAQ]

Ha ha i'm having a really grumpy day today so....
The haynet thing ?
People not doing anything about their obviously uncomfortable horse (getting a vet for a REALLY persistent cough or at least altering the management to see if it'll make a difference)
Not putting stuff back where you found it
People who bulldoze with their opinion
Bitching (says me while having a good old moan)

Oh dear not just a truck problem! So many people are doing this ? I don't know if the reasoning behind is that they suddenly realize they are really slow and should speed up but I hate this. Very annoying and dangerous.

There's certainly a lot of web browsing going on..I have a good view from up.here!
I don't think a lot of car drivers realise that we are restricted to 56 ( within a certain tolerance ) and we can get trapped by a car which could easily speed up.or slow down.
Just one of a long list of driving annoyances. I find folk are equally annoying with supermarket trollies!

 

[Elno]

People not picking up after their horses. Your horse pissed all over the floor while in cross ties? Pour some shavings on it, and pick it up instead of leaving it on the floor to dry into a stinking mess! ?

People giving unsolicited advice. Horse people are especially good at this.

Horses with unfitting/ wrongly attached tack because the owner doesn't realise/ doesn't care how it's suppose to sit. For instance drop nosebands behind and under the bit, bits upside down, etc...

And finally my all time favourite thing to annoy the living daylights out of me:
Mixing brown and black leather, and also silver and gold coloured buckles. Gives me the heebie-jeebies.

 

[scats]

People not removing girth’s from saddles and leaving them attached on the right. I can’t stand it. I’m a bit weird and like my girth removed and placed over the top of the saddle.

The haynet knot thing.

 

[cauda equina]

Feed sacks where the tops are done up with sort of chain stitching
It should be easy to find the right end of the right string and just pull but I usually end up hacking my way in with a knife

Also - birds - crapping in water buckets, clean feed bowls, on the salt licks, anywhere really
