Me - printers. I work from home and they are the bane of my existence. They never work properly. Last one kept jamming and I threw it across the room in a fit of pure rage. Current one is supposed to be wireless but it won't connect to the network for some reason and even when wired in it's not working. Ink is so expensive too. Hate the things!!

Umbrellas. They fuck me the fuck off. I’m always getting poked with the prongs, or have to duck out of the way, just wear a hat or put your hood up!

Litter

Hate seeing streets covered in litter and even worse in beautiful countryside lanes when arseholes empty out their MacD wrappers and crap

People spitting in the street
Misplaced apostrophes
People who are fucking rude but say things like, ‘I can’t help it, I just say it how it is!’

Meateaters. I'm tired of of the suffering animals endure from birth to plate.

Coronavirus itself, but then force governments worldwide to have a proper plan for next pandemic, international, national and local plans.

The people at one of the drug companies that has made a version of my medication in pack I can’t open, nor can my completely able bodied friend. Other manufacturers just put them in foil strips.

Militant vegans. Good luck farming crops on the Yorkshire hills. Strange how so many totally ignore the human suffering behind their favourite foods...

Restaurants with tiled floors, marble/glass table tops and hard surfaces everywhere, and then loud background music too. Nothing to absorb noise, so all you hear is rattling and banging of cutlery and china and people shouting to be heard.

Hand sanitiser gel.

The entitled lycra-clad I-own-the-road-now cycling posse, particularly those who go round country roads in large packs on a Sunday morning and deliberately go out of their way to make it impossible for you to overtake.

Tabloid journalists.

Cat sick.

Stone cold slippery leather sofas. Could anything be more uncomfortable?

TroysMammy · 07/03/2020 18:25

Grey joggers and grey hoodies. Have you given up on life? Do you think you look attractive in them? Or are you on remand or have you been in prison? Have some respect for yourself.

CigarsofthePharoahs · 07/03/2020 19:25

Oooh I agree about printers.
Telling me off for using non branded ink, throwing a fit because I want to print from my laptop, throwing another fit because I'm using the main pc. Sometimes I have the audacity to want to print something that's not A4. Oooo. It's out of paper, no it isn't. Now it's out of paper because it sucked through five sheets in one go.

Shoelaces. Pointless things. Massive faff and so often go in a massive knot when you're trying to get your shoes of quickly. I have discovered the joy of fake laces recently so I'm happy!

Grey joggers and grey hoodies

Yes! And if you actually exercise in them, they show every drop of sweat. Urgh.

LajesticVantrashell · 07/03/2020 19:55

Films and TV programmes where people are drinking from a receptacle which clearly does not have any liquid in it. Seriously, no one is that cavalier with a molten hot latte.

Brexit

TroysMammy · 07/03/2020 20:30

thenightsky I never see athletic people wearing them. Like I never see sporty people wearing tops proclaiming Russell Athletic. No he definitely isn't.

Bank holidays - you can't go anywhere as everyone is also off and bored
Roast dinners - totally overrated and why do they have to spoil every Sunday
Adults who make a huge deal out of their birthday - You're not five!
Facebook - ruins everything
