Pot holes

Extortionate council tax

Bin men that don’t take the rubbish because the lid is up a bit

Dogs not on a lead.

People throwing their little dog shit bags on the floor by a litter bin that’s already over flowing with dog shit bags.

When some one holds the door open for me and not even that close.

People that don’t say thank you when I’ve held the door open for them because if I let it swing back behind me it would hit them in the face.

People smoking in the car whilst kids are in it - even with the window down.

Ditherers who take up the whole pavement or aisle in the shop. Just move to one side if you are going to go so slowly.

People who don't have their purse ready to pay at the supermarket like it's a surprise they have to pay.

Faffers who take so long to do a simple task.

ChristyEpping · 12/11/2020 10:43

People who do not pick up their dogs shit

BobbinThreadbare123 · 12/11/2020 10:51

People who stand and chat at the top of escalators or in doorways
People who have basically stopped social distancing or looking where they're going now we all have to wear masks
People who can only use the middle lane on the motorway

Ugh...just people tbh

Redwolf1 · 12/11/2020 10:55

People who dont pick up dog shit, particularly the wankers near me who keep leaving it outside of dds first school

People who do pick it up and leave the little bags on the verge or hanging from a tree

Cats in general

People who let others (who have no right of way) out on roundabouts

Oh and people who dont use passing places. I live along country lanes and people are so impatient that they wont stop at a passing place and drive further up pulling onto the verge. Its ruining verges and makes a muddy mess over the winter

dubyalass · 12/11/2020 11:11

People who don't wipe surfaces after they've used them, instead leaving crumbs and bits of food everywhere.

Ugh, boak Angry
I don't particularly want to see the little bags hanging on a tree as if it was a bauble or something thank you very much!

Ilovechoc12 · 12/11/2020 11:32

Cats that shit in our garden as they never crap in their own gardens . Then I have to clean it up before kids walk it in 😡😡😡😡😡
Inconsiderate cats should at least do it in their owners homes (bet we would have a lot less cats in the world) 😀😀😀😀

All of this, I can’t stand faffers. Just get a move on.

People on soaps having leisurely mornings taking their time over breakfast in lovely bright homes or in cafes not getting up in the morning, in the dark houses in the winter, in pyjamas, shivering, with hair a mess, in a rush, trying to get kids dressed and fed and out the door for work and school.

Othering · 12/11/2020 11:39

People.

PayPal.

People constantly talking about fucking covid.

Hypocrites.

Boris and Scummings (hypocrites constantly talking about covid).

Liars.

People.

AriesTheRam · 12/11/2020 11:43

People walking slowly in front of me.
People who wear masks just over their mouths.
Attention seeking people on fb

GroggyLegs · 12/11/2020 11:45

Lost cardigan chat on school whatsapp groups ('no hun, not seen it').

Planning a week of family meals. How hard is it for someone else to suggest one meal? Throw me a bone you lazy fuckers.

People wanking on endlessly about the same moan, every week, week after week, on my work team call.

Buying presents. I hate it. Can I give you the cash?

People.

RightOnTheEdge · 12/11/2020 11:45

I see there's a lot of dog poo hate mentioned.
I was getting very irate walking to school this morning the whole thing was like a dog shit obstacle course Angry
I think the dark nights and mornings must make it worse and maybe people feel they can get away with it more.

We definitely have the dog poo bags hanging on trees and bushes problem too!

CoronaBollox · 12/11/2020 11:46

Leaving shoes in the middle of the hallway for me to break my neck on. Placing the toothbrush by the side of the holder, instead of actually in it. Leaving cups next to the sink. Clothes on top of closed washing basket.

It's my karma really, as this post could have easily been written by my mum when I was a teen Blush

Public ones - littering, having a family meeting in tight spaces and this one is mean really, but when I had to do the fake laugh to customers who thought they were the first person to ever make a typical customer service joke "if there is no price tag it must be free" etc Blush

Saladfingersscaresme · 12/11/2020 11:47

COVID deniers/conspiracy theorists
Stoners
Facebook
Wingeing children
Rain and wind, I don’t mind either but both together pisses me off
I’m peri menopausal so most things really........

Saladfingersscaresme · 12/11/2020 11:48

No dog poo issues in my area though, I’m sure there are more dogs than humans in my village too.

IJustWantSomeBees · 12/11/2020 11:57

pavement cyclists

people playing music/videos out-loud on public transport

people in the office leaving their dirty spoons and mugs in the sink instead of putting them in the dishwasher, expecting the cleaners to do it for them

people sitting right next to you on public transport when there are
plenty of other seats (pre-covid)

People, essentially.

FatBottomedGurl · 12/11/2020 11:58

People who hog the gym machines and play with their phones. Sod off and let people who actually want to exercise use the equipment. Update your Instagram in the changing room! Angry

My local Tesco store that insists school children queue like animals before being allowed in, and must leave their school bags at the entrance (in a bed to cut down shoplifting). Not all high school children are thief's and this generalising is appalling, in my opinion. They pay full price same as every other customer, so how do they get away with treating them so awfully?

People who walk directly towards me when I'm in the field with my dog. You have 10 football fields width to roam from me, so why are you insisting on walking your dog directly AT me? I'm not a social creature and I would think a massive field with only two people would be safe from chit chat or forced dog play, but nooooo.

My son peeing all over the toilet seat. Every time. Despite telling him - everytime - not to.

NotYourDawg · 12/11/2020 12:17

I have a 17 year old daughter who is a bloody nightmare and she drives me crazy with her inability to put anything in the correct place (I also have a 17 yo SD who is fully capable of doing the same things correctly, which just pisses me off even more at DDs inherent laziness and lack of respect).

  1. leaving hair at the side of that bath or smeared along the tiles of the shower. I have long hair, I manage to put it down the loo once I've finished my bath or shower it isn't hard!!

  2. Empty loo rolls. There are 2 bins in the bathroom. Take your fucking pick. But no, she just drops them on the floor and expects me to sort it out.

  3. the bits of paper from sanitary pads - scattered like confetti around the bathroom.

  4. she cleans her room and just moves all her shit onto the landing. Big pile of dirty clothes, bags of rubbish, dirty crockery and then dumps her empty clothes hangers on my bed in a big huge muddle for me to sort and put away in the cupboard NEXT TO MY FUCKING BED.

  5. her inability to understand what can and can't be recycled AND which wheelie bin is for recycling and which is for general waste. She grew up watching Bob the fucking Builder, she knows how to fucking recycle.

If I say anything it turns into an almighty row. She does have bad mental health issues and all her energy is focused on A Levels and she is doing really well, she's not a bad kid she's just so fucking inconsiderate of me.

I've started dumping everything she dumps, on her bed. Seems petty when I could easily dispose of the sanpro confetti or cardboard loo rolls, but it seems to be working. She's obviously a visual learner 😉

Collidascope · 12/11/2020 14:24

Empty loo rolls or empty toothpaste boxes left on the floor, presumably for the fucking cleaning fairy to clear away.

People who assume you're interested in tedious details about their children and babies, and bombard you with photos and videos of them.

Lukewarm baked beans, and when the tomato sauce gets on the other food on the plate.

The way old men are always paired with much younger women in movies.

kittensarecute · 12/11/2020 14:25

Covid, my stepbrother, covid, the government, covid....oh and covid.

I used to give out to my son too until it turned out it was a medical thing. Had to have surgery to fix the problem!
