Mine is people who select the 'receipt' option at a cashpoint and then walk away leaving it hanging out of the machine. Why? WHY?

Cropped tops! No, I don't mean purposely cropped they are just all so fucking short at the just now, I want COVERAGE for the bottom of my belly thanks, I in no way want to show it off, I just want a jumper that will go past my waist FFS!

People who walk in the grass next to the pathway provided or cut across from a completely different angle to “save” 2.4 flippin seconds 😡

Eating meat. Why!? Animal abuse is wrong, unless you eat it?

SneakyGremlins · 31/03/2019 19:44
Hmm

I don't understand cold shoulder tops either. It's like 'oooh look at my shoulders'. Er, WHY?

People who drop litter...my brain cannot get my head around why anyone would think that’s ok, or not give a shit.

Lanes on the motorway and why people are too stupid or lazy to use them properly.

Drogosnextwife · 31/03/2019 19:46

People who cross the road - especially with children - only 10 or 20 yards away from a pedestrian crossing.

God yes, I saw parents doing this with 3 children today on a pretty busy road, running them through a gap in the traffic, there was a crossing about 15 meters from them!

Sparklingbrook · 31/03/2019 19:51

People that try to get on the train before the people exiting the train have got off. Rude.

Speaking for myself I will get my nails "done" because it boosts my self esteem (rest of me is a car crash) and I enjoy it

I just don’t get how sitting for 1 to 3 hours (some have the gems and glitter etc) boosts self esteem 🤷🏼‍♀️ Would it not be worth investing money on why your self esteem is low instead of adding strange colours and gems to your hands?

(Also I was specifically referring to those who don’t actually have the money for such indulgence - if you’re loaded and have this money, go for it, but I still ask “why” ) Grin

People who spit 🤢

BartonHollow · 31/03/2019 20:02

Really not loaded

Just like having them done (specific reason I can't paint my own otherwise I would)

🤷‍♀️

Don't go all out and have long ones and diamanté and shit just nice ones - not really a mad expense as I only get basic and only once a month.

BartonHollow · 31/03/2019 20:02

Oh and it never takes an hour roughly forty mins and we have a chat and listen to music, it's nice

SneakyGremlins · 31/03/2019 20:05

You know the noise people make before they spit? That.

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 31/03/2019 20:07

🤢🤢🤢

The woman who gets on my bus home every night, then keeps looking out of the back window. Then gets off after about 4 stops to catch the bus after ours. Why not just wait 5 minutes for the bus you actually want?

Papergirl1968 · 31/03/2019 20:18

Short sleeved jumpers. If it's cold enough for a jumper, you need one with long sleeves.
People who drive those cars that has "powered by fairy dust" on them.
Also the false eyelashes on cars as a pp said, and those plastic flower things in the dashboard.
The woman I saw the other day who wore leather look leggings with a jumper tucked in. She was slim but it was not a good look. And I was sitting down while she was standing at the reception desk by me so her arse was level with my face...

I want to know why you can't take more than two saplings tied together on the trams in Budapest Confused

Yossarian22 · 31/03/2019 20:26

Hair follicles- if I wax it off that means I don’t want it there. It doesn’t mean grow back in a couple of days 😫

DinosApple · 31/03/2019 21:26

Why why why are all the shops full of clothes that my grandma would have worn, or just plain baggy?

Pleated midi skirts, oversized jumpers and cardies, midi dresses, boxy tops...

Hadenoughofitall441 · 31/03/2019 22:22

When people come off of an escalator but stand right at the bottom instead of walking to the side 😡

Hadenoughofitall441 · 31/03/2019 22:24

People who must take thier dogs absolutley fucking everywhere. I love dogs but it’s totally unnecessary for them to take them on a retail therapy trip when the poor little things are left outside the whole time

Applesbananaspears · 31/03/2019 22:26

Children who have ignored you all day and been happily in another room but absolutely have to talk to you the moment you start a phone call

Applesbananaspears · 31/03/2019 22:29

Having nails “done”

£14 once every 3 weeks, short shellac nails in a nice colour, in and out in 20 minutes yesterday. I like them painted and I like that they last until I take them off.

Civil Service Competencies

Some arsehole n HR decided it would be good idea. Too much time on their hands. What is this HR shit anyway? You work in personnel.

Sure, I will happily write 250 words using the STAR technique on five competencies for a 21k a year admin post.

Oh do fuck off.

Success profiles are the latest gimmick. Just accept a CV like companies in the private sector.

Why do restaurants think all vegetarians like SPICY FOOD

Just because I'm veggie DOES NOT MEAN I LIKE TO EAT FIRE FFS
