For me it’s letterboards. Especially on instagram. Especially with some joke about pregnancy/parenthood. I have no idea why but it makes me cringe every time! I don’t really have a reason to dislike them. Maybe I’m envious I don’t have one?

Another FB one...
Being tagged in everything. Had a weekend in London with a friend recently. Everyone we stopped for coffee, every meal, every tourist attraction, even sometimes when we had gone into a shop he fiddles with his phone and then 'jingle jingle' you've been tagged in a FB post! Boring! Plus I don't want the combined friends list knowing we've popped into Starbucks again...

Fleece, longlife lightbulbs, royal blue, the expression 'on the side', meaning on a kitchen worktop.

Moustaches. Not a fan of facial hair in general but moustaches make me heave. I can't even look at Dick Strawbridge gag

The terms 'sleep regression' and' cluster feeding ' set my teeth on edge.
And Keith Lemon.....

Those stupid instagram photos that jerk back and forth.

Tomato sauce. Just no.

People who go for a meal/weekend away/drink/walk - basically anything normal and fill instagram or Facebook with it.

The expression ‘Happy Days’.
20/30 something men who wear long shorts and flip flops to the supermarket all year round.
People who order anything other than a bog standard tea/coffee/jot chocolate in coffee shops, shots and frappes irritate me .

HildegardCrowe · 25/11/2018 13:17

When they ask you at the till if you'd like a bag "at all". But actually that's not irrational...

WhoGivesADamnForAFlakeyBandit · 25/11/2018 13:19

People who drive while wearing hats. It's usually an indication of shitty driving - too cold, too old, too cool.

Selfies i don't u derstand the point of selfies

NotCitrus · 25/11/2018 13:33

Cats
People who post pics of their family more than once a week. I could stretch to twice if you're on holiday somewhere scenic.
Films and books which emotionally manipulate you, especially when they have a scene 3/4 of the way through where Somebody Dies, to make it clear this is Serious Literature.

Aubergines.

Coathangers.
Fucking pokey, sticky things. Unfortunately they are useful though but they annoy me.

piglet81 · 25/11/2018 14:19

The word 'stunning'.

Scrambled eggs mixture left in the sink by my husband 🤢

The word genre I think it is the sound of the word that gets on my wick

SinglePringle · 25/11/2018 14:40

Selfies

Online dating being the Only Way

New fangled light bulbs (I miss the old ones)

Aspartame

The never fucking ending trend for sweet, floral, gormand perfumes.

The shit selection of flowers in supermarkets. Enough shit lilies and roses already.

Acrylic nails.

Poinsettias. So bland.

There will be more....

Having to interact with checkout people. I know it's their job. My job involves giving people injections, but I don't expect the people I'm doing it to to be all happy and chatty about it.

Shops, it's not all about you and what you want.

Daysofpearlyspencer · 25/11/2018 15:06

People not using 'pay at pump option' even though they are not buying anything in the kiosk and pay with a card anyway.
The obsession among my friends for swapping Christmas cards when we live in the same street and see each other almost daily.
Hoovering the stairs
Cleaning my teeth for the required amount of time (I still do it though)
Adults who are picky eaters and examine all the food on their plate.
Adults who are proud that they have never read a book or listened to the news - I know several.
People who say 'Pearly hates children you know' just because I made a conscious decision not to have any. I don't hate them, I just dont want one!
Smug people on property shows, usually involving the countryside
