People who have astroturf instead of real grass in their garden, because it's 'less muddy' Hmm

Iknowwhatudidlastsummer · 15/01/2021 18:36

People who are proud to need a "full face" of make-up to go through the day.

[quote Franklyfrost]@SpiderGwen

I’m crap at maths and tell people when it’s relevant because otherwise they’ll talk numbers and it means nothing to me, as if the speaker has suddenly switched to a language I don’t understand. (I’m good at some other stuff so I’m not an all round idiot, just crap at numbers).[/quote]
Me too, I hate it and don’t think it’s funny but numbers just swim in front of my eyes and I’ve always struggled with Maths

100% mine especially on the early commuter trains! Not that I've been on it for a while....

Yes I frown upon this too. A very overweight parent was moaning on the news during the week that the school free meals weren’t up to standard. Fair enough but the mum didn’t look like she’d went without a meal or two before

Kids sat in the trolley....
Kids of 11 or 12 sat in a trolley. Last time I complained about this, an angry mum came on the local FB group and said her son was massively autistic and had a meltdown if she didn't let him sit inside the trolley.

All I can say is that if this was indeed the case, then my area has a huge proportion of "highly autistic kids".

@MiriamMargo

woman who refer to themselves as a Full time mum, what you mean is non working mother,
So funny I said the exact same to my husband yesterday...

And I'm also a stay at home mum / full-time mum / full time homemaker -whatever you want to call it!

MAK93 · 15/01/2021 18:38

Oh people trying to sell you weight loss coffee/juice plus & other pyramid scheme shit!

They’re the worst 😂

cobblers123 · 15/01/2021 18:38

Spitting
Dropping litter
Swearing every other word in normal conversation
Referring to your husband as "hubby". You sound childish

Port1aCastis · 15/01/2021 18:39

Slug brows which look ridiculous
Massive fillers making a person look like a trout
Over big boob jobs which look out of proportion to the person's anatomy and are rather stupid

Fembot123 · 15/01/2021 18:39

Sweeping statements about whole groups, races, religions etc.

@AiryFairyMum

"share this post" chain letter posts on facebook.

People who say "we have to look after our own" as an excuse to cut foreign aid, then think it's OK to let poor British kids go hungry so millionaires can make bigger profits.

"We have to look after our own" usually means a fairly narrow band of the population, and certainly not recent immigrants of foreign nationality.

Being judgemental

Robbybobtail · 15/01/2021 18:40

People who put being good at sports etc above academia. I know it wouldn’t be appreciated amongst my friendship group if i went on about how my dc’s came top of the class, or won an award for a piece of work, or got into a top school after passing the extremely difficult entrance exam.
But the friend who’s son has been chosen to play for a minor junior team is applauded and treated like it’s the second coming or something and like they’ll all be set up for life. Same with friend who posts videos of her dc singing solo in the school play and everyone is expected to say how wonderful! If I posted a photo of dd clutching her academic awards I’d probably be met with tumbleweed!

Supermarkets provide proper trolleys for disabled users too old for trolley seats. With seat belts!
Dc in the trolley gives me The Rage.

mumnowformerrockstar · 15/01/2021 18:40

Young babies and toddlers in nurseries.
Women who call their friends 'besties' or 'squad'
People who ask how you are but mid sentence you notice their eyes glare over and they really couldn't care any less- so rude
Men walking around topless or in a vest on hot days, especially overweight men
Ordering a dessert after a big meal out

Gross.

Ugg's. Common

Women that put on a baby voice when they speak.

People who buy Staffordshire bull terriers. Common

People who call other people common. People who don't know how apostrophes work.

@BoobyBetty22

Mum’s that walk around holding their baby without a carrier or putting them in a buggy.

My mum years ago witnessed a new mum carrying her new born around the shop and tripped over. The shop called an ambulance and the baby was taken to hospital. She never did find out what happened.

My stomach turns when I see people carrying them around

I saw someone using the escalator on the underground once trying to prop their pram with one hand and their toddler in the other. It tipped over, so new baby fell onto the metal escalator steps as it was moving. Was not a pretty sight and hopefully a lesson to that parent (and others watching) not to risk it. Poor little soul, was a good few years ago.

Judging others and tut-tutting. I think, "haven't you got anything else going on in your life?"

Then I remember that judging others might be the one thing that's giving them the sense of fulfilment and superiority they need to get through their day... and I feel guilty for judging them. We all need to get our highs somehow. I prefer chocolate myself.

Persianparadise · 15/01/2021 18:42

Selfish clueless twats who stand chatting in doorways / in the school gateway / middle of pavement so everyone has to squeeze around them, even more so in pandemic times.

Oh I totally agree there. Every day when I take my children to school there are 4 mums standing blocking the gate. If you need to go round them, it’s all mud. . I just walk through them, I say excuse me of course. Totally rude

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 15/01/2021 18:43

I judge people who think they’re middle aged at 35 plus. It’s so tedious and more and more people seem to be doing it. I’m 40 and still feel “young”. I think people often get to a certain age and just give up. No one should ever just stop wanting to live, as much as anyone can anyway (I say that as someone who has chronic disabilities).

I judge people who use a neutral description of somebody's age group as though it's automatically understood to be an insult - whether it's assuming that anybody middle-aged or old/older/elderly must be past it/useless/waiting to die or blaming the young for being young and/or naive.

It's denying individuality and putting people into little boxes based on just one single mundane natural characteristic and prescribing how they must feel and what that characteristic must therefore also define across the spectrum of their whole person.

Misogynists often also do this by using the word 'girl' or 'woman' as short-hand for weak, pathetic, hysterical, inferior, obsessed by superficiality, rubbish with science or technology, nagging etc. etc. - when all it defines is a female's sex chromosomes and doesn't actually denote that she is a near-clone of 3.5bn other people on the planet.

If I had to go to hospital I’d do that to get lots of attention, it would cheer me up 😂

I wasn’t talking about what you said *@MellowYellow101*, if I quoted you or tagged you then it wasn’t intentional.
Oh my bad. I thought it was a dig at me! Sorry...

Hope veganuary is going well. Not hating on it, great if it works for you.
