Things you hate.

Blow by blow anecdotes with he said and she saids. Just get to the point.
Being charged sly £50 to get hair dried added on after colour
Form filling
Endless pointless admin
plastic
bins on streets. Just bins. Ugly plastic
despots
Litter bugs
Racists
Those noise amplifiers on bikes and cars that rev
my hair

I hate the smell of supermarkets. My M&S smells like fresh baked bread and Asda smells of sort of fake coconut/strawberry candles and wee. Also the latter has been playing Christmas music since October.

Starmer, Reeves, Rayner and all Labour MPs and their policies
Children on trampolines
Children screaming in public places
Ant and Dec
Reality TV
Z list celebrities
People who say 'invite', 'advert', 'uni', etc. instead of the full word
Cats
Coca Cola
Filling the car with petrol
Going to the dentist

Hot chocolate
Pasta
People who eat food with their fingers or just general bad table manners
People who slurp drinks

When you're walking on a narrow road and someone in front of you will just STOP for some reason or other, then just as you get almost close enough to pass them by, they start walking and you're stuck right behind them walking at a snail pace.

God yes, my DH and I frequently rant about this.

strangers who stand right next to me e.g. in a queue - go away!

My husband's friend built his bike for him and said he didn't need lights as it's unnecessary weight. Que when my husband got stuck out and it started getting dark, I had to drive where he was to escort him home

Also…..
parking on the footpath / pavement
calling people ‘guys’
phone battery running low
bin day
not having a holiday booked
Menopause symptoms

People who are claiming for benefits and don’t deserve them because they can or know how to play the system. It makes the really genuine ones look bad and that is just shameful and makes everyone annoyed.
Don’t know how they sleep at night.

People who eat in the theatre.
People who eat in the cinema.
People who make a noise in the Quiet Coach.
Fuss over adult birthdays (& especially mine).
Reality TV.
Christmas starting in October (obviously).
Housework, because it's so pointless.
Sentimentality.
Women who won't go out (theatre, cinema, restaurant etc) on their own - you're making men think we're all weak and useless!
People who make a big deal about their minor ailments.
(And of course, big things like anti-Semitism and racism).

Those people who bring on stinking takeaway McDonalds, greasy smelly KFC, rancid Kebabs, etc, onto trains and buses (or any enclosed space).

People who stand right on top of the luggage carousel so NOBODY ELSE can see it or get to it 🤬. Step back and let everyone get to their bags FFS

The words Hubs, hubby, hubster, holibobs, and fucking FUR BABIES 🤬🤬

Signing into ANYTHING online.... Password not recognised... Forgot password... Reset password... That email address is already in use... Ad infinitum... Argh!!

Loving this thread... I'll stop now 🤣

Im going to go with petty hates rather than the serious/political ones.

The word "soup"
Having to get up for a wee in the night - particularly in winter
Drippy slow "warm" unsatisfying showers - hot and powerful jets pls.
Being touched by a shower curtain when in the shower - cold kiss of death on the bum/back.
Aniseed, licquorice, lemonade
Anybody who pulls out in front of me in a big rush and then drives like a snail
Caravanners
Bunched up clumps of cyclists riding in a way that nobody can pass the annoying fuckers
cous-cous - devlis grout
People trying to strike up inane conversation while im eating, particularly shit like "ooh what you having" "smells nice, is it nice?" "cant beat a bit of xxx can you?"
tea or coffee when it passes optimum temperature
grey marl joggers - dont want to see your cock in Aldi, Dave
Nail trimming - i put it off for ages because its a boring task, but then realise EVERY TIME that its a quick under a minute job and i couldve saved myself a week of being annoyed by my nails.
Meghan Markle

That will do for now.

I worked with teens for a while and the 'I have ADHD' seemed to be the go to line for
(a) excusing bad behaviour.
(b) not wanting to do mundane tasks like completing application forms.
(c) brazenly asking for free stuff.
(d) lack of punctuality
(e) can't be arsed attitude.

Interesting how selective ADHD is, as some of these kids had no problem filming, editing and posting tik tok videos, playing complex games on their phones, writing and posting on FB, explaining how the algorithm worked on Instagram, one ADHD girl sitting quietly for half an hour and photo editing a selfie she'd taken...

As one of my cynical colleagues used to say; 'these mental health alphabet diseases are the new 'bad back'.

People who can't use motorways - MOVE THE FUCK OVER!! if you're not overtaking, STAY IN THE LEFT LANE! 😤😤

Customer service is a thing of the past , sadly.
Hived off to bots and ‘ chat’ lines where it’ll take you in a big old circle.

I hate seeing people doing weird things with their tongues in photos or the tongue in the cheek thing.
It’s just not funny or cool.

Customer services numbers that appear to be unmanned. AAGHHHH. I'd rather an automated message taunting me stating "we're never going to answer this you loser" than being left on hold, on my lunch break, listening to sad music that makes me want to stick my head down a toilet.
And then... you find the chat bot option. Promising start, it's eager and engaged. Then advises they've passed it on to someone. And then silence..... You have £100s of my money!!! How DARE YOU!!!!"
This is cathartic.

Cleaning the bathroom

I agree that toilets in public places are a disgrace anywhere.
I hate the all in one affairs for the soap : water , dryer that doesn’t work. Or the lack of loo paper in a big supermarket that has an aisle dedicated to it. That’s if the loo is working that is.

The summer holidays. They are long, tedious and expensive
People sticking out their tongues in photos
People sharing photos of me on social media
Barbecues

Babies - or more specifically, being expected to be interested in them because I'm a woman (eg people passing babies around the office - I tend to go for a long toilet break) 🤮

Shit hand wash facilities - cold water, no soap, shit hand dryer which is completely ineffectual and you end up with freezing water running down your sleeves 🤮

Slow drivers

The whole of Christmas 🤮🤮🤮 from start to finish. Commercialised claptrap. Give me a holiday any day

The thought of my daughter leaving home for university next September 😢😢

Any request shows on the radio. They waffle on about nothing much and get asked inane questions which nobody can hear that well and have to be asked again.
Then the kids come on and they have to be cut off to play the old 80s hit for their parents!

People who stand still on the moving walkways at the airport. It's there to speed everyone up ffs, not so you can stand there like a plum looking at your phone.

People who can’t or won’t use headphones
