Things you hate...

Yes and this is despite the National Cyber Security Centre saying very clearly that making people change their passwords all the time does not enhance security. But still my employer does it.

Also I hate having to update my work laptop because it has a encryption PIN on it, so I can't leave it to get on with the update, I have to stand over it to put the PIN in when it reboots. And it says an update is going to take 4 minutes and 15 minutes later I am still there!

Yes I hate those "caught you" emails as well! Why do they think that's going to make you buy it? There's usually a good reason I've decided not to buy it after all. Like not having my size, for example.

Balloons. Can't stand the squeaky noise they make. Someone could torture me by standing in front of me and making balloon animals.

Yes! And bonus points when they part park on the pavement (with their engines running) too!

Add also people who park on pavement.

I had a really good one yesterday. I was in Winchester, walking down a narrowish road on the pavement. A van drives past quite fast, drives onto the pavement, and then starts reversing back along it. I yell at him, and he stops. Everyone turns to look at me (and him). Plonker.

In a similar vein, I was walking home and started walking across the mouth of a side road. A van came and pulled in as if he was stopping, but then started to reverse into the side road he had very clearly seen me crossing to turn round. Another plonker.

I want a really loud bell that I can ring at these people!

No they aren't pointless, it's cathartic to rant.

Yes, this is the point everyone wilfully forgets.

Yes, you certainly could. To indicate possession again. Music of the 80s. That's not what is seen though. All over SM you see 60's, 70's, 80's. It's awful.

Because they're c#nts with no brain cells.
It does not need doing.
I had a breed that people used to crop the ears of i can't imagine anyone chopping his lovely floppy ears.

Secrets and lies

People who brake and slow right down in their car then only when turning the corner put their indicators on.

Yes! I had an American Facebook friend unfriend me after I made a polite but speculative comment under her many St Patrick's day pictures marvelling at how differently it was celebrated in America vs in Ireland and the UK. She was highly aggrieved to hear it wasn't 'authentic'.

You could write, I like 80s’ music (music belonging to the 80s).

People who cheat and use their phones at pub quizzes. We were on holiday recently and one of the evening's entertainment was a quiz. There was an announcement and a general acceptance that phones weren't to be used, as is the whole point of the game. Still, the table next to us claimed one person wasn't playing, so that person was permitted to sit scrolling on their phone. Of course, they were googling answers and showing their players under the table. I feel like pub quizzes have been spoiled by smart phones.

Apps can fuck off. Being pestered to download apps so you can access something.

People that are on the phone at supermarkets going through all the different types of pasta available to whoever is on the other side of the phone.

If the person on the other side of the phone is the one who usually shops is unable to due to illness, injury, surgery etc - write the list with the type of pasta you want. Also include size, flavour, brand etc of the other items on list.

Smashing things, I absolutely hate it. Often seen in FB posts like 'little Billy absolutely smashed his role as sheep number 3 in the nativity today.' 'yeah mate, smashed it.' honestly makes my feel almost violent!

Also double negatives, I didn't do nothing and the like. Argh!

Men pissing in public, men with their hands down their pants in public

When one person on a large WhatsApp group wishes someone a happy birthday or get well soon and every other person does EXACTLY THE SAME so your phone pings with unnecessary messages all day!!

Apostrophes indicate a missing letter, or letters. As an example, you're is short for you are. They also indicate possession, for example the girl's bag (the bag belonging to the girl) or parents' evening (an evening for parents.)

They're never used for plurals, such as I bought flowers today or I was born in the 80s.

'80s would also be correct as the apostrophe indicates the missing 19, but it is now acceptable to write 80s. Just don't put the apostrophe before the s!

The simplest of things now has to be "an experience" ffs I just want to see a Father Christmas in a little grotto for £5 not to spend all day in a field paying £20 for a hot dog and £40 for a shite key ring photo

The group of 6-8 mums where i live who have to shop together with their pushchairs. When only 1-2 of them actually buy something. They clog up the shop.

@Potatowonkeyes I feel your pain !

The person who delivers leaflets with their dog and lets it run around my front garden shitting in it.

The sodding Santa sleigh that has charity workers knocking on the front door and standing there for 10 minutes.

Groups of slow walkers who take up the whole pathway.

Gentle parenting which has resulted in a generation of rude and feral children.
