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?

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.

Getting stuck behind people who walk like fucking snails. I feel the rage bubbling under my skin, trying to burst free. I literally have to grit my teeth.

But I'd obviously rather die than say excuse me, so I just murder them in my head.

MisunderstoodisanUnderstatment · 06/12/2025 18:56

People walking side by side blocking pathways.

People knocking you with prams/trolleys, charging at you and thinking they have right of way, as well as those knocking arm/shoulder when walking past with no thought for anybody in their way, and again no apology.
People who walk in your path and tell you excuse me as they knock into you in shops, because they cannot just take a different route/plenty of room to get past. . Apparently "excuse me" means they have the right to push past you. I think some just like to announce this even though there is more than enough room.
People pushing infront of you in queues because they know somebody.

People sitting next to you on public transport when there are loads of free seats, and I always find my self moving further into window seat so they're not leaning against me.

Drivers honking horns in street outside your houss nowhere near the house they're actually picking up from, esp at night. Just get out and knock on the damn door!

Honestly just people being rude in general.

Catbakingbiscuits · 06/12/2025 18:54

Daily Mail
No headphones on public transport
people who beep horns unnecessarily when driving
Toxic masculinity
Going to a pub and there’s no seats
sticky dirty tables in pubs and cafes
Toenails
etc

Dogs.

There’s the ocean, get in it. From a plane.

I have neighbours who will stand there and chat while their dogs yap incessantly at each other, and have to talk over them. Stick your dogs in the house first, then chat!!!!

"Oh my lovely fido wouldn't hurt a fly!" After he's knocked a toddler off their feet and tried to bite a runner....!

The way shops and businesses are bending over backwards for these simpering creatures is ridiculous.

Mum23plusC · 06/12/2025 18:51

The way my husband stores fucking shower gel upside down...and I dont mean to get the last dregs out (I'm all for that), I mean he does it when the fucking things full!! His trend of doing it has now started in the fridge - sauces and such. Here's the thing though - the fucking ketchup that has the lid at the bottom, he turns the other way round. I mean WTAF?!!!

gingerninja · 06/12/2025 18:48

Comments on social media post saying ‘say it louder’ or ‘louder for the people at the back’ I honestly want to punch them in the throat for it.

Luckyingame · 06/12/2025 18:47

Spring.
I fucking hate and dread Spring since childhood.
😐

MyRubyFox · 06/12/2025 18:45

Bottles of product (conditioner) where you can't squeeze the actual stuff out of. I have a bottle on the go now. Can't stand the bottle upside down because of a domed cap. Middle of bottle squeezed together in the middle. Loads of product left at the bottom. Have to add water to dilute to get it out. Life's too short!

Motherfucking crumbs in the motherfucking Lurpak.

Sometimes when I open that tub it contains more bread than butter Envy

YES!!!

Vivianebrooksmatsumoto · 06/12/2025 18:33

Oh I thought of some more!

Flag shaggers, and the whole right wing Sun readers shit and the mentality or lack of mentality of it all...

Vinted offers, I've stopped listing anything new on there. People are getting mouthy when you won't give them 60% off or decline their petty offers. Entitlement.

People calling you 'hun' or 'chick' or 'love' or other infantile names and it's not men doing it, it's women. Ugh.

CommonAsMucklowe · 06/12/2025 18:29

Wearing glasses. Would have laser in a heartbeat if I could afford it. I cannot see without glasses and hate having to wear them unless I am asleep.

JungAtHeart · 06/12/2025 18:25

Printers. Blow drying my hair. Emptying the cat litter tray. People talking to me in the sauna. Tourist traps. The cold.

tabbycatcuddles · 06/12/2025 18:22

I live in London and I hate bad tube behaviour.
People who get to the barriers and only then start looking for a payment method.

People who get to the platform and then stop right by the entrance, blocking the rest of the platform for anyone after them.

People who block escalators or stand on the left.

Vivianebrooksmatsumoto · 06/12/2025 18:20

Certain types of cars and their drivers. I'm convinced some dealerships won't sell you one unless you have proof you're a bellend.

Music played full volume I shops. Well maybe if you turned that tuneless racket down(normally a woman screaming what are supposed to be lyrics)you could hear what I was asking for.

The whole 'live laugh love' grey walled 'prosecco o'clock' chav aesthetic. Enough already!

Brushing teeth I don’t mind too much but interdental brushing and flossing- urgh- such a fucking bore and so awkward. I’ve got four different size brushes for the different size gaps which means I have to actually think about what I’m doing and I don’t want to- I just want to get into bed. 😡

Get a water flosser. One with a large tank, not one of the hand held ones.

Snakebite61 · 06/12/2025 18:15

95% of the population. Right wingers. They've destroyed my country.

Iziz · 06/12/2025 18:13

People outside shops with charities or something wanting to talk about anything get out of my face I wanna do the damn food shop n go home .

Elphamouche · 06/12/2025 18:13

Doing the fucking washing. I don’t know why, but I HATE it.
Putting fuel in the car.
Getting in/out of the shower.
Getting in/out of a swimming pool
Grating cheese

Brushing my teeth.

yea me too !

Rednotdead · 06/12/2025 18:10

Noisy fireworks, why do they have to be so loud, or have any sound at all really.

ToadRage · 06/12/2025 18:01

People who walk right in front of my scooter and pretend I am not there cos it's easier than acknowledging a disabled person that doesn't fit into their perfect little world view. Sorry, it's not my fault I'm unable to walk but I have to Christmas shop too. Shops that are too cluttered or tightly packed to fit a scooter through.

angela1952 · 06/12/2025 18:01

People who push their way to the front of a bus queue, get on first and then fumble in their bag to find their mobile to pay. And then can't make it work.

Steeleydan · 06/12/2025 17:56

Cheating men
People with double standards
Snobs that look down/talk down to people
Changing the bed
Parsnips
