I’m in a mood. What should be banned (lighthearted)

Fucking door knocking charity callers. Why is it allowed? It’s intrusive and I bloody hate it.

Pink deodorant - always cloying and horribly floral.

Having to refill rinse aid

I think the menopause is hitting hard today.

@Lorrymum Mumsnet acronyms! Sometimes takes me ages to work out what I am reading.

Ikwym!

The woman who insisted on a 40-minute speakerphone call in a cafe with her son in Australia. It was only her and me in the cafe and she didn't use headphones. I was trying to read and wasn't interested in the details of her son's flight and his stopover.

People who let their dogs jump up in the park, get my clothes muddy and then tell me he is very friendly and only playing.

Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Nigel Farage. No explanation needed.

White or cream clothes (they make me to spill my food down them)

Granny Smith Apples - yuck

Bad coffee - a crime

Did you not say anything to said woman? I'd have had to!

Ye Gods, can we please ban my neighbours who defrost their cars by pouring water on them, on a non gritted road- leaving a trail of black ice over the pavement where the driveways drain.

Number 15; I’m looking at you ☠️👀👀

I agree whole hearted with this.

Also the idiot designer that thought my whole ( and probably 1000s of other ) estates have roof gutters that go into drain pipe that in turn go straight onto the pavement ( no gardens) so every other house has a flaming mini skating rink outside their homes .

You're very welcome to my share of the global stock of lemon curd!

People who stand in shop doorways talking.

Or around the exit of an escalator. 🤬

People in cafes with dogs

Submitting expenses on a system that has been designed with only the Chinese financial staff in mind.
The English "translation" makes no sense.
It is the least intuitive system I have ever had the misfortune to have to work with.
I have cried.
Should not have tried it when I was already in a mood with DPD!

Politicians starting replies with the word "look...", doubly banned if they hand gesture at the same time.

Teenage boys/men wearing tracksuit bottoms in public. DS was a teen in the 2010s and would have been ripped to shreds for dressing like that. No idea why it has now become acceptable post-Covid.

Tracksuit bottoms are for lounging at home, not in the street or even in bars and restaurants as I’ve seen recently.

I saw a lady out today that was wearing tracksuit bottoms, with high heeled knee high boots. Was quite the sight!

Tiny pockets in women's trousers that your phone/keys/purse fall out of.

It should be illegal not to print the bedding/sheet size on the care label.

It would surely be very simple for them to print S , D , Q , K SK on the tags wouldn't it.
To beat this issue I write it in in permanent marker as soon as I unpack them.
I also write Top and side on the quilt s themselves.
It's the little things that make life easier.

Me too. And I take my bra off as soon as possible. 😆

Show quote history

When I was still teaching and there was a hot summer I would often remove my bra at the traffic lights, I could do it quite quickly though having the soft top down occasionally caused problems.
Now as an elderly retired lady it doesn't often go on unless I'm going out!

Winter. Winter can fuck right off. It should be banned until it learns to only activate snow mode when people are home with nowhere to go.

+100!
