Things you hate...

People who dance in public spaces for TikTok videos

People who dance in their own home for TikTok’s but point at the captions that point out incredibly obvious things like its ground breaking news

Emails that have an unsubscribe link but when you click on it there is no option to unsubscribe, only to choose email or text

Fake familiarity or passive aggressiveness in cold calling sales emails to my work account “hey Maple! You don’t seem to have replied to my previous reach outs! I know life is busy though so just bringing this to the top of your inbox!” Fuck off.

Advent calendar windows that you can’t open without a Swiss army penknife

Overly vague instructions on flat pack stuff, with no words just meaningless arrows

this struck a nerve with me - I’m joining this with my hate, greasy unwashed hair as I find the two weirdly often connected -

where we live is a fairly isolated small market town - there are no removal companies here as no one moves away -

we have a medium sized Waitrose and Sainsbury, a variety of shops, services, many many estate agents, cafes, mostly staffed by the “Ive been doing this job for 20 years” brigade who view the customer as a nuisance.
One banking establishment employs a female member of staff who has been there for 41 years. You would think in all that time she would have been advised to wash her lank greasy hair before turning into work, same as the young receptionist at the dental surgery opposite, unkempt, unhygienic, unsightly, as at the check out at Sainsbury, it is really unpleasant, but as they have been there for years, in customer based roles, know they can’t be sacked, show their contempt for the customer and themselves of course

We have a delivery every other week of bulky or heavy shopping, avoid supermarkets here as per your astute comment ^its endemic in this town

@ismu I concur! I mean a PACKED bus where half the seats are taken up by handbags. So packed its standing with someones sweaty arm pit in your face. The driver is continuous saying 'move back! Move back!....To let more wotsit eating heathens on and you literally miss your stop as can't exit the bus. Ah the joys of travelling on public transport with the un-washed masses😂

Oh yes ! Gifting! Did it have its origins in a certain shopping channel. ?
Also, while I think of it I hate the way presenters say" oh yes this is just the top for when you are out for a meal ,in a pub,on a summer day ,with your friends...or if you are on a cruise and need to cover up in the dining room" It's a top ,I have dressed myself for several years now !

@GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER I swear I knew someone would comment this! I can't stand the terms 'it is what it is'....'no is a full sentence' and the word 'moist'😅

People using the word " borrow" as in " she borrowed me her coat"
Long ,excessively pointed , fingernails. I wonder what's lurking under them.
People who block whole sections of supermarket shelf while they dither. I usually say " excuse me" and reach over to grab what I need. However a few weeks ago ,a couple were examining and discussing what seemed like every loose tomato on the shelf. They appeared oblivious to every " excuse me" and just looked up and then carried on sorting. I remarked to another customer " how long does it take for 2 people to buy a tomato "
Only to see the three of them later shopping together in the biscuit aisle.

Yeah me too. No problem at all with bags on seats when the train has plenty of seats. Sit somewhere else which is not next to me!

People who are literally, obviously, stupidly wrong, refuse to accept it and it affects me.
I am one of the bags on seats because I hate sitting in an empty bus or carriage then some smelly big person eating wotsits and listening to loud game music on speaker SITS NEXT TO ME

I hate ‘boils my piss’ and a few other MN expressions, inc. ‘Not your circus, not your monkeys.’ WTF??

Also, especially now, ‘gifting’!

Evri losing my first parcel. Then lost the replacement parcel. No human interaction with Evri.

My small local Co op often has them as well right inside the door. 😡😡😡

A lot of things, but a few are:

People who pretend not to be racist but clearly are.
Reform and the whole rotten associated crew.
Beetroot ruining things.
Yellow.
People who suck joy out of Christmas.
People who make excuses for their child's poor behaviour rather than dealing with it and finding out why it is happening.
Bad manners.
Ipads or phones playing in restaurants.

People who get their dogs ears cropped. People wearing real fur.

People who treat dogs like fashion accessories.
Nigel Farage
Baked beans
Flesh coloured leggings
Leopard print anything

Having to constantly reject cookies and goodness knows what else every time I need to quickly look at a website.

Yesterday I got 6 texts about one parcel being delivered. 3 from the company I purchased from and 3 from Royal Mail. That’s excessive, and it feels like harassment.

I hate how you get so many emails per online order which you can't opt out of. The bare minimum seems to be:

-We've got your order
-We dispatched your order
-Evri has your order
-Evri is going to deliver your order between the times of...
-Congratulations, your order has been delivered
-Please leave feedback on your order
-There's still time to leave feedback on your order

Can this not be streamlined in some way? I've been shopping online for over 20 years now and the number of emails per transaction has increased exponentially.

Christmas Eve - people that buy 18 loaves of bread and 36 pints of milk for just in case. In case of what?

The dark mornings

Christmas music in shops. The reason behind this is to make people to spend more in shops.

That reason has gone out of the window. It makes people spend as little time as possible.

Plus it annoys the staff too. My friend who works for a supermarket has to mentally block out the music played. This makes her more tired - along with being rushed off her feet. I doubt the CEOs have this crap played through their speakers in their plush offices.

Men pretending to be women.

DOGS.
Dogs in cafes
Dogs on extending bloody leads in packed places.
Dogs at farmers market stalls jumping up at the food tables
Big signs in cafes saying ' Dogs are welcome but paws on the floor at all times'...cue Dogs on the seats, sofas, peoples laps. Put them on the fucking floor.
Dogs in John Lewis, the Range basically everywhere. Train your dog to be kept at home and then LEAVE IT AT HOME. If you can't cope without your dog ( assistance dogs excepted from this) then get a grip.

Shit...I don't know which is correct?

I would also add another tip for chuggers:- Maybe learn to read people's body language and facial expressions. Don't pick on someone who clearly has 'I've fucking had enough' written large all over their face, and is limping because their arthritic hip is killing them. Yes sure I'll just stand here in the freezing cold for 10 minutes talking to you when all I want is to collapse at home into an armchair. I've come to the conclusion that the majority of chuggers are completely clueless in this respect.
