Things you hate.

God I hate this too. Surely the whole point of messaging is to avoid having to do calls. Such a waste of time 😡

My neighbours and their awful, feral children and disgusting bins
Putting on duvet covers
Deciding whats for dinner every fucking night
Litter
Racists
Doctors pushing anti-anxiety meds but refusing to blood test me for menopause first
Faffers
My ex
Online dating

Getting dressed after swimming. Love pools and spas etc but trying to get dressed gets me so cross.

When you message a colleague on Teams a question that could be answered with a simple yes or no, yet they feel it necessary to video call you.

Ever thought about contact lenses or laser eye surgery?

Fly-tipping and littering generally. Radios or music on in the background where it's not loud enough to hear properly but you get a tinny noise. People, usually men, who take up too much space with their loud voices and massive feet.

Cars in general, large ones parked in the wrong places in particular
Motorcycles, especially loud ones
Cats shitting in my garden

Neighbours allowing dogs to bark incessantly when I want to sit in the garden
Being woken up from a nice sleep by noise outside or inside
People talking too loudly in public
Winter weather - esp grey and rainy days
Groups of people walking across the pavement straight at you
People congregating in exits/entrances
The miserable staff in our post office - I can’t go in any more
Feeling cold
Untidy house
Housework
My husband’s snoring - resorted to separate rooms
Having eye problems
Having teeth problems
Bad drivers
Cancelled trains
Insomnia
Blinding car headlights - now don’t drive at night
TV adverts
Adverts on social media

I'm glad you're not longer working with teens as your lack of knowledge re neurodiversity is clear. I'm no snowflake over the 'popularity ' of these diagnoses either but you'd do well to educate yourself on things such as hyperfocus behaviours.

I hate spitting

When someone refers to their dog as "DL"

Love
mental health alphabet diseases 😂

The drivers who turn right at the crossroads, see the traffic lights for the road they have just entered and stop. It’s not your light, there is no stop line there. This then leads to drivers behind getting stuck in middle of crossroads. Sends me raging.

This brings out the bastard in me. One who says “excuse me!” in a tone.

Swede

Driving on unlit country lanes in the dark and driving rain and being dazzled by oncoming car headlights.

Same. Maybe one day I'll get a decent-sized garage I can back the car into when the weather is crap. I can but dream.

I don't mind singing happy birthday to others but I hate having it sung to me! What do you do with your face? Where do you look?

People who get out of a lift or off an escalator and just stand there. People watching videos or loudly flicking through TikTok on their phones on public transport. Virtue signalling. DEI bollocks. Cancel culture. Wokeism every time I turn on the telly or radio. Real sexism, racism, and bigotry. Fake grifters who casually accuse other people of such for nothing of the sort. Sarcasm. Climate change crackpottery. Mouth-frothers and people who enjoy being offended. People who don't indicate. Mushrooms. Covid hysterics. Narcissistic parents who dress their kids up as the opposite sex and call them trans. Most public institutions. Most politicians. Making lists of things I hate.

Horizontal rain which gets all over my glasses even if I'm wearing a brimmed hat (bought specifically to keep rain off my glasses).

Large companies whose call centre workers entirely fail to resolve your issue, in fact make it worse (looking at you, EE; E.ON also a contender here. BT I no longer deal with because they're so shit - but they're linked to EE which may explain things).

Snide sisters-in-law. After 30 years of their shit, I'm done.

People who drive on country lanes but are unable to reverse back to the passing space one car length behind them, and instead expect me to reverse back 50 yards round a bloody bend.

People who talk loudly or play music out loud on trains, buses. People who play music so loudly you can hear it five doors down. People who think screeching in the street at midnight is acceptable behaviour.

Whichever person it is who chucks beer cans into the bushes along the footpath near my house. In fact, any bugger who litters anywhere.

People who let their little darling run amuck and shout the place down in the doctor's surgery, library etc.

Reviewing my (incomplete) list, I see it's mostly people. Not A Fan.

Christmas cards. I mean it’s very kind and all but I hate them in the house.

Ellen
People who can’t make a story short. I fear it’s becoming a lost art form !

All this thread has done was made me realise I’m not as grumpy and miserable as I thought because I agreed with the majority of these gripes 😂 and I feel comfort knowing it’s “not just me “

Although the one that’s really getting my blood pressure up at the moment is the food delivery cyclist with no lights… dressed in all black and no lights, what could possibly go wrong 😡🙄

Class whatsapps. I’d rather never have another piece of lost uniform back, so long as the PTA can’t scent me via telephone - like bloodhounds.

People who use the phrase "my little family" occupy a special place in hell
People who go on about being an "introvert" as if it makes them really interesting and quirky
Ironing
People who play music without headphones on public transport
Spiders
Tennis on the TV in summer
Passwords on any conceivable website/app or any kind of internet activity

The cost of a hair cut. It is getting ridiculous.
Its a World Cup year next year :(
