Not rtft but; people who drive behind me for miles with their full beam on
My sister being obsessed and living her entire life on Facebook
My sister putting herself first all the bloody time
People who moan about being ill every bloody day
People who don't realise that what people write online doesn't always reflect their true feelings and intentions

KrampusTime · 11/12/2019 10:06

@MorrisZapp Pubes? In what way? I am intrigued! Grin

And oh yes, people who BUY THEIR KIDS FUCKING PETS as fucking Christmas presents - including the wanker DSIS of the poster who bought their kids micro pigs for Christmas.

Fucking dickhead time of year, bring 21/12 when the days start getting longer. I hate winter.

@AutumnGlitterBall if you don't use Twitter, could you just read the nursery's page instead? I'm not on Twitter at all but read about a dozen accounts I have bookmarked.

Ellybellyboo · 11/12/2019 10:12

Mud - we have a dog and a horse. I am over mud
Rain - as above
“Get Brexit done”. I am utterly sick of hearing those 3 words. I might punch the next person who says it. Get on with it if you must, but stop bloody saying that phrase!
Screaming children in shops - I’m really sorry, I know my own children screamed in shops once, but I’m generally feeling pretty shitty and have no patience at the moment.
The bloke who keeps ringing me about my energy provider at work - fuck off! I’ve even tried blocking the number but they still get round it

itsnotthatserious · 11/12/2019 10:13

Everyone in my family coming to talk to me every time I'm on the toilet. It's like a sixth sense. Mum is on the toilet - must speak to her.

People who sit in their cars outside my house and have loud conversations through their car loudspeaker thingy. Also people who do this on the school run.

Moths.

LittleLongDog · 11/12/2019 10:13

People who give their pets middle names.

Why didn’t I think of this?! I need to start thinking of middle names for the pets 😂

LittleLongDog · 11/12/2019 10:14

People who moan about being ill every bloody day

I’m fed up with actually being ill every bloody day!

Riv12345 · 11/12/2019 10:17

Awww this has cheered me up!! I'm like that now, everything getting on my nerves, I dnt even want to go shopping today cause I know someone will wind me up!!!! As you guys say.... people in shops chatting in the isles then moaning about how people go crazy at Christmas and there doing exactly the same!!! I can't stand it!!!!!!!!

TroysMammy · 11/12/2019 10:17

Political posts on Facebook. I unfollowed a tea company as soon as they posted election information.

People saying to save the NHS don't let the Tories in but in Wales it a Labour administration that hold the purse strings and they haven't made it wonderful.

A company I ordered 2 of the same items from sent something completely different. I've now got the correct items but the item to be collected last Monday is still in my greenhouse.

Work holiday list 2020.

Going back to work after being off.

My kitten choosing to ignore me telling him, down, off and no.

CherryPlum · 11/12/2019 10:17

Shop assistants too busy chatting to each other to acknowledge customers handing over cash at the till, umm helloooo?! Asking repeatedly 'did you want a bag?', 'do you have a loyalty card', because they ignored the replies the first time.

Pets generally. The amount of unecessary pet stuff - doggie mince pies, doggie Santa dressing up outfit. Humans living in poverty, and dogs living a life of unimaginable luxury beyond anything near necessary.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 11/12/2019 10:23

People who suddenly stop dead holding their phone so everyone collides into them or has to move around them. It's the way that they stare goggle eyed at the thing with a look of absolute absorption on their stupid, vacant faces while this happens.

Serabi · 11/12/2019 10:33

The constant low level cold bug that my daughter and I are sharing for about 3 months now
The fact my manager insists on tonnes of performance review admin at Christmas so I'm spending weekends completing that and not preparing for Christmas
The disappointing box of treat chocolates I bought that just taste of pure sugar
My work commute
I need about two solid days getting the house tidied and organised but of course am too busy
A sleep regression at 16 months
My favourite tv boxset only available in the US and not here yet
So bored of cooking dinners and everything tastes a bit crap

ShinyGiratina · 11/12/2019 10:46

My cold and it's tickling cough (and my DC's cough echoing)
The dark
Overcast days
DIY, specifically satinwood paint
The laundry heap
The rest of the heap that is my house
Mud
The election, all political parties, Brexit
Corbynites. Loving the hide for 30 days button on FB!
Zealots of any type

PersephoneOP · 11/12/2019 10:54
  • Dealing with a rude, lazy co-worker
- Cat refusing to take his meds - pavement cyclists (!!!) - being crap at cooking so never satisfied with my food

Oh the injustice of it all :'D

PaulHollywoodsSexGut · 11/12/2019 10:57

@KrampusTime it’s 22/12 this year; I’m sorry to be the bringer of bad news but I only know this as I’m obsessively counting down myself.

And that’s me with nothing to add to the fuck off list yet i am still DESPERATE for the solstice as to me it tends to fall at the end of Christmas “bullshit time” (office parties, Jumper Day, endless charity things, doing actual Christmas shopping)

and marks the start of “nice Christmas” (basically when all the parties and obligatory shit has fucked off and it’s slightly calmer)

Anyway, as you were.

PaulHollywoodsSexGut · 11/12/2019 10:58

Can’t wait for the electionshit to do one though.

Dissimilitude · 11/12/2019 11:04

Political posts on facebook from one-dimensional, magical thinkers who perceive the world as simple and the solutions obvious.

People who rage silently at the behaviour of others but never say anything.

Almost every news organisation's constant use of emotive conjugation in a constant, blatant attempt to tell us what they think rather than simply what happened.

The self-perpetuating feedback loop between politics and the media driving ever poorer public discussion, as the media gets more hostile and "gotcha", and the politicians react by spin and PR. No one can discuss their honest views, change their mind, or own up to mistakes because the media would crucify it.

Also the rain.

MurrayTheMonk · 11/12/2019 11:07

Too bright headlights.

Brick dust over bastard everything in the house (untidy builders).

My grabby teenagers who have lost sight of what Christmas is about. (I love them but they need to realise what they have and stop wanting things we cant afford and wouldn't buy them even if we could because it's just stuff-very expensive-stuff).

My sore throat. Not helped by above mentioned brick dust.

The election which is just a choice of paths towards more doom as far as I can see.

The fact that I bought a jumper in the same style as as jumper dress I actually wanted yesterday by mistake because it was on the same rack and that I'm now going to have to do the two hour round trip to swap it again at some point in the next 28 days. And no I've no idea how I didn't notice 🙄

MurrayTheMonk · 11/12/2019 11:10

Also my deceased Cat. I had my first birthday without him yesterday for 17 years and I really missed the little blighter which I see is pathetic but it was a crummy day anyway and I could have done with a cwtch with him.

DryHeaving · 11/12/2019 11:40

So sorry @MurrayTheMonk that must have been hard
Mines a bit ran but...... Adults who lick their knife

Panicovereveryone · 11/12/2019 11:44

My bitter neighbour, she’s getting right on my tits! Our planning application has sent her over the edge and she now being facilitated by her equally idiotic husband. Making stuff up, quoting none existent ‘laws’, crying illegal this, unethical that. Slinging mud at every opportunity. Starting a boundary dispute with nothing to support it except hot air. Very irritating. It’s like a tantrum, but more annoying.

paddlingwhenIshouldbeworking · 11/12/2019 11:47

People who give their children their phone/tablet to watch or play in public without turning the sound off.

Stop it.

TreacherousPissFlap · 11/12/2019 11:52

There's a lot of chest clearing going on here, my grandmother would have approved Xmas Grin

For mine it would be wet dogs and hairs - I have a very moulty dog, in this weather the hair sticks in the wet patches in the floor so cannot be hoovered up. There have been times this winter (and I'm horrified to have to admit it) where I've considered how much easier my life would be with no dogs Xmas Confused

Also getting a tiny bit pissed off with Christmas prep. I am working and will then be at home alone so I'm not really feeling the festive spirit this year.

GiveHerHellFromUs · 11/12/2019 11:55

I have another one:

The man who walks his (fairly aggressive) Akita at the same time as I walk my tiny little dog. Regardless of what time I go out.

Oh and knobheads who park on the path so I can't get the pushchair back
