Things you hate.

We've had 2 birthdays in work today and I didn't join in with the singing of happy birthday. I hate it. Have a great day and all that but I don't feel the need to go and join in.

I also hate Christmas, it's a waste of money. Love the time with family but the rest of it can fuck off.

I also hate going for a wee and stopping for diesel.

What do you hate?

@Hicupping Yes! I used to go to Bolton Abbey/Strid Cafe as a kid and then as an adult. They suddenly started charging £5 to park at the Strid Cafe! I stopped going for that reason, God knows how much it is now. I miss out, because I absolutely love it round there, but I refuse to pay exorbitant prices for parking somewhere they shouldn't need to charge you to park!

Combine your visit with a ride on the railway from Embsay, then you can park at the Embsay end.

Takeaway delivery riders.
Cyclists coming up behind you on canal towpaths and ringing their bells to make you jump aside. (There is a rule at sea: steam gives way to sail. Surely the rule on canal towpaths should be bike gives way to foot).
Straightening the clothes which have just come out of the washing machine before I can hang them up to dry.
People giving me directions on the assumption I shall be driving, when I don't.
TRAs.
Slugs coming up through the sink plughole.

Ah yes, because we have to pretend this category of humans doesn’t exist and everyone is the same, and those judging others is a thing that only arseholes do and nothing to do with human nature. You can try to convince people not to use the word but they will just use another meaning the same so what are you achieving?

Thank you 🤣🤣

Parents who let their child scream in charity shops and then do performance explanations which can’t be heard as their ghastly ill disciplined child is so bloody loud…..oh that felt good, happened yesterday and all I could think was thankfully my children are older and I don’t have to deal with that nonsense anymore.

Hicupping · 11/12/2025 19:55

I've discovered today I'm now too badly sighted to play around with fancy eye makeup and that face primer is a must. Definitely in the hate bucket.

Facebook posts along the lines of "How do we have a 10 year old" 🤢

StillFeelingTired · 11/12/2025 17:02

I hate;

  1. emprying the dishwasher. Dh empties and I do the litter trays because I don’t mind that and he hates it
  2. taking the DCs swimming. Ds1 is disabled so a parent has to go in with him for his lesson. Dh does that too
  3. filling the car with patrol. If I going somewhere I want to get there and not stop. Dh does that too.
  4. dh hates paying bills and writing legal letters about things so I do that
  5. dh hates shopping for Christmas so I do that too
  6. he hates doing the school run so I do that

People who take their tops off in summer.

People who drive up your arse.

Ed Sheeran songs (not him - he seems like a nice bloke. Just his songs).

Tommy Robinson/Farage/Reform/Trump/Musk/Tait lovers.

People who eat with their mouths open.

Gail Platt.

Totally with you on Gail Platt!🙃

@ArabellaSaurus one of them .
While I admit they are good for hanging socks , underwear, pot towels and other small items , put them near a coat hangers and they will grab and hold on as though it's life depended on it.

Oh god yes coat hangers , how is it you can put them down and in the time it takes you to pick up a t-shirt they are so tangled you'd think they were having a orge.
Put a socktpuss any where near them and you may as well chuck the lot in the bin !

I HATE AGEING!!! 😝

Absolutely 💯 this. It's the pits. When I think that i was so healthy aged 30 and now nearly 15 years later, I feel like an old woman!

FB photos of a carefully curated Christmas tree and mounds of artfully arranged presents, captioned "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas"

Fuck.
Off.

The new Witchfinder generals puritanism. Teenage girl been through a lot and of course in a long frustrated post makes a reference which is unimportant but of course they all jumped on it on Reddit going 'that's got nothing to do it it', age 15 needs support but nope she failed their purity test and gave them a reason to put themselves on a pedestal and pat themselves on the back for putting her in her place.

My fucking Manager lately. Needs to fuck off to the far side of fuck and take her assistant with her.

Dishing up dinner and buttering bread.

Coat hangers are the devils work! They do have a mind of their own.

A tangle of coat hangers ...I end up shouting fuck off...but they take no notice..
Sitting on the lav and realising that I need more paper and the cupboard is across the bathroom
Bastards who ring me or knock on the door while I'm in the bath...I don't get out of the bath for anyone.
Cold wet weather...and the sun shines.
Having my hair coloured .it's like having a bath wearing socks...
